I’ve never done a VRBO or “The other company” before so I may have ruined it for myself because Heid the hostess/owner is the best. I was blown away by her willingness to ensure my stay was great. I was with my mom who’s a little older at 83 but we love the beach. The unit was adorable and clean and very well equipped. Our hostesses even sent a lovely treat the first morning we were there. Just lovely. Thank you Heidi for making our first venture into vacation rentals by owners beyond enjoyable.

Great Stay
Heidi was an absolute sweetheart! She was so hospitable and surprised my husband and I with sweets treats for our birthday. She responded quickly to any of our needs and really made our stay special. The place was perfect for my husband, two children (2,4) and myself. We absolutely loved being so close to the pool and the beach, made everything so easy especially with two children. Location was perfect. We would definitely stay again.

Great Stay
We had a wonderful stay here. Cleanliness was top notch. We had everything we needed for the house and the beach. It was soooooooo convenient be able to walk straight out to the beach and the shower to rinse off sand was great. The place was a bit smaller as I thought it was a 1 bedroom, but that is my fault for not reading the listing fully. The convenience to Anna Maria Island and Siesta was perfect. Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

Beautiful and cozy -- perfect for 2!
After searching among dozens of beachfront stays, we found Heidi's condo. We're so happy that we did! It was perfect for my 12 year old son and me. Although it fits 4 people, it would've fit a little too tight with more people for a longer stay. The condo had everything the 2 of us needed for cooking, sleeping, and enjoying the beach. We literally had the beach outside our door step. Heidi, the host, was an outstanding communicator and paid attention to all the little details that made our stay special. Between the beautiful location, cleanliness, and excellent host, we'll definitely try to stay here again!

Raised the bar
HEIDI IS A GOD SENT!!!! Now that I have gotten that out of the way, let me talk about the unit...I could not have been any happier with this stay and this owner. Everything was spotless, super convenient to the beach and the restaurants, and we had everything you needed. My husband and I are big toast eaters in the morning, and even though there wasn't one available in the unit, Heidi ordered one and had it delivered to me the next day!!! Who does that!?? Sadly, my stay was cut short because of the awful hurricane Helene, but in the end, it all worked out because I ended up having a family emergency. Heidi had thought of every detail and had yummy coconut treats when we 1st arrived and then an AMAZING key lime pie! I'm not too fond of key lime pie, but this one was super yummy, and I had to fight my husband so he wouldn't eat it all, lol. By the end of my 4th day there, when I had to pack it all up and leave because of evacuations, I felt like this little piece of heaven was my 2nd home and Heidi was my friend! I am devastated to see what Helene has done, and I thank God that this unit was not damaged; nothing will keep me from returning to this paradise when things return to normal! I have been renting units through various companies, for many years, and Heidi has now set that bar way high for all other future owners. Thank you, Heidi, from the bottom of my heart, for making us feel like this was home away from home, and no doubt that you will hear from me again <3

Thank you for the review of your one-night stay, Angela! I'm sorry you were disappointed that our condo is a studio rather than a one-bedroom. We do write "studio" in multiple areas in our listing description, so guests can be certain what they booked. I hope you stay another time at one of our four LBK condos. Thanks, Angela!
À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Heidi
Hello!
My name is Heidi, and I live in Oklahoma City with my husband, Jeff, seven-year-old daughter, Louisa, three-year-old son, Teddy, three beloved dogs, Milton, Marvin, and Kramer, and two playful kitties, Maple and Willow!
Originally from Upstate New York (the Fingerlakes region!), I grew up vacationing on Longboat Key as my parents owned a condo at the nearby Diplomat Beach Resort. It's a peaceful island full of beautiful memories for me. When the opportunity presented itself to purchase on LBK, my husband and I jumped at the chance, and bought our sweet little studio at The Beach in October 2020, followed by our beautiful one-bedroom in February 2021 at Silver Sands, and last (for now), our second Beach studio in September 2024. It's been a marvelous experience owning on the island and hosting so many amazing guests!
To learn a little more about me, other than managing our condos and raising two children, I teach and take yoga (vinyasa flow!) classes, foster the most wonderful dogs and cats (100+!) through our local Oklahoma Humane Society, read for monthly book club, and spend way too much money gardening!
For us, vacation is important. It's a beautiful gateway for reconnecting with spouses, bonding with children, celebrating special events, and reinvigorating oneself. We take vacation seriously and want it done right from booking onward...! A positive guest experience is paramount, and we approach each guest party as if it's our very first one - ready to impress!
We're so happy you are considering booking (or have already booked!) one of our condos. They are little slices of serenity! We hope you love them too.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Longboat Key, Florida, is easily reachable by flying into Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, which is an easy 24-minute (15-mile drive) to the condo.
You can also fly into Tampa International Airport, which often offers cheaper flight options, and is just a 1 hr, 20-minute (59 mile) drive away.
For ease and convenience, we do recommend renting a car while on the island. Along Gulf of Mexico Drive, where the condo is located, there is an extensive, paved multiuse walkway (10 miles!) ideal for walking and biking for pleasure, exercise, and purpose. Although you can use this walkway to get you to a few nearby restaurants, they are spread out with no main cluster. Likewise, with a car, restaurants and attractions are just a quick 5 - 10 minute drive for most!
If you decide not to rent a car, consider calling one of the following to schedule airport transportation or specific restaurant/activity rides: Longboat Key Transportation, Elite Sedan Services, or Bewitched a Curated Concierge Service. Uber (download the app) is available too, but remember their availability is contingent on time of year, day of week, time, etc.
Due to the petite size of The Beach parking lot, if you are driving to the condo, one parking space is allowed per unit. There is no room for additional cars (second family member car, guest car), jet-skis, trailers, etc. Each car requires a parking pass from the main office.
