I loved being right on the beach. A couple suggestions, but not deal breakers: a tall bar table and stools on patio so you can see the ocean over the shrubs. Also need better quality frying pans and knives. I would definitely stay in this unit again.
The unit is exactly as advertised which was nice. You’re definitely paying for the location versus high-end comfort and decor. The property amenities are nice and the location on Longboat Key is convenient to restaurants and shopping. Stepping directly out onto the sand was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. The sunsets are spectacular!
Excellent stay with no complaints. Room was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Nice amenities. Perfect for frequent beach access; you just open the door. It is rather small, but fine for a couple on a getaway. I would not recommend it for a family, or more than two people. Communication with the host was very easy, and she was very kind. I agree with a previous reviewer that the hedge outside the porch could be lowered to allow a better beach view, but that's a small consideration. Overall, my wife and I give this location full marks. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Thank you for the review, glad you enjoyed yourselves.
2 travelers - no kids - no pets - easy & casual. We were able to check in when we arrived & the host as well as office team were wonderful. The beach was nearly to ourselves & everyone was friendly and welcoming. The room was ideal for our needs, stayed comfortable & well appointed.We would have preferred a warning prior to our wake up Tuesday being a gas powered hedge trimmer right outside our back door - it woke up both of us with a headache & set off a rough last full day on longboat. Not sure who could have warned us- not holding it against the property. Amazing stay - Walked to Ana's, Guppy's, Harry's & Lazy Lobster which was our walking limit.

Thank you for the kind review and understanding of the maintenance. Please come again.
This property is about as well located as anything in the Sarasota area. The beach and views are fabulous and but it is much quieter than Anna Maria Island to the north or St. Armands Circle/Siesta Key to the south.

I’m so glad you had a great experience Robert, come stay again soon.
We had a perfect week in this clean and perfectly situated unit directly on the beach. Furnishings are comfortable, kitchen has adequate supplies, and view is wonderful.
Our first visit to this part of the gulf coast and this was so perfect. The beach was just outside the back door and the porch is perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks listening to the ocean and birds. Amazing sunsets as well.

Hey Louise, thanks for the great review, glad you had a good time.
Lovely condo with direct access to the beach. The pool was fabulous and can’t say a negative thing about our stay! Any questions I had were answered immediately by owner. Great vacation!
We had a great time celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday! Excellent location! Unit was clean and had everything we needed for a short 3 night stay! Thank You!!
Loved walking directly out to the beach and perfect location.Unit very worn and needs updating-teeny bathroom.Would probably rent again though-just to be that close to the beach.
We stayed on property for two nights. Our unit walked right out onto the beach, which was wonderful. Everything in the unit was new due to hurricane Helen and they are still working on the area
Excellent spot to celebrate my wife's birthday. Location was great, easy to get around Longboat Key. Excellent choice of restaurants, all very close by. Walking out to the beach everyday was exactly what we needed. Very nice room, A/C worked great, very comfortable and roomy bed. Kitchen was put to good use every morning.
This property is amazing and is well connected to the beach.. Each day I went to the local Harry's deli grabbed a sandwich and sun bathed at the beach and the pool. Getting around to and from Sarasota was easy using Uber.

About the host
Hosted by Bridget Myers
I am a wife of 24 years and mother to two sons in their 20's. My husband is originally from Thousand Oaks California, but moved to Muncie Indiana to be near family. I am originally from northwest Indiana and moved down to Muncie to attend Ball State. We are a very active family and now as empty nesters I look forward to traveling.
Why they chose this property
When we toured different places on Longboat Key and the surrounding area as an investment opportunity and somewhere we would want to vacation, there was no comparison once we found Unit 240. We looked at high rises, but the ideal place I had in mind was also a vacation for me (mom). I didn't want to pack 3 bags and take an elevator to make it to the sand. Since the boys were 6 and 4 it has been exactly what I was looking for. I can sit out on the lanai and watch them on the beach. If you forget a shovel or sunscreen it's just 10 steps back to our place to retrieve it. The chaise lounges waiting on the beach and the close proximity to pool is what I wanted.
What makes this property unique
Unit 240 really is our second home. To be able to open the back sliding door and hear the waves while you sleep will never get old. Having the beach so close and private are what I think people are looking for in a vacation. Our condo would be ideal for a honeymooning couple to a family of four. I hope my future grandkids will be able to have the same special memories my boys have made here.
