Beautiful canal front unit!See manatees playing from your living room.Cabana #12



  • Welcome to Unit 12 at the Cabana Beach Club—your peaceful waterfront escape directly facing the bay and canal. This charming one-bedroom, one-bath corner unit offers extra privacy, as there are only three units on the entire property, creating an intimate and serene setting by the water.

The bedroom features a king-size bed, while the bathroom offers a walk-in shower. A queen-size pullout sofa in the living room and a dining table for four make this home perfect for couples or small families.

    Enjoy modern conveniences including smart TVs in both the living room and bedroom and an in-unit washer and dryer.

    Step outside onto your private porch facing the bay, where you can sip your morning coffee while watching manatees glide by, listening to birds, or simply soaking in the calm waterfront atmosphere. When you’re ready for the beach, the white sands and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico are just across the street. A heated pool is also conveniently located nearby.

Great spot for a weekend getaway

The cabana was perfectly placed for our visit. It was clean and very comfortable. Having the beach across the road was quite convenient for us. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Longboat Key in the future. We truly enjoyed our stay.

January Stay on Longboat

We originally had a different unit on a canal but the unit was not ready due to two recent hurricanes. The owner Michaela reached out to let us know and offered to put us in a bigger unit for the same price as we had paid. This was our second year at Cabana Beach and we will definitely be back. The unit we stayed in was clean, beachy and well appointed. Can’t imagine all the island has gone through with these storms. It was nice to be there!!

Beautiful setting

This rental is in an ideal spot--on the canal but just across the street from the bay. The owner/manager was very helpful with my mistakes booking this property (due to my poor tech skills.) I definitely recommend this property and owner/manager.

Relaxing in Longboat Key

We enjoyed our morning coffee out on the canal with the manatees every morning. The place was clean and in a beautiful setting. The owner was responsive and prompt to solve the missing blender by delivering another to our door. We would love to stay here again.

Very clean, nice property on salt water canal with daily visits from manatees and dolphins. This is 1 of 3 units in the building but feels very private. It was very well stocked with lots of little details that were super handy and appreciated.

Awesome Location if you enjoy waterfront views

I thoroughly enjoyed the property. I worked remote from the property and the Internet worked very well. I would take breaks from meetings and cast a few lines and caught snook from the dock. The beach is just across the street and it is very beautiful. You can walk the beach for many miles. The property manager was very easy to work with and wanted to assist in anyway. I highly recommend this location and would certainly stay here again.

Manatee Magnet

This property is awesome and perfect for a couples get away. Conveniently nestled between a channel and the Gulf, we must have seen 20 manatee in 5 days. The only draw back is the bed. It's hard and the bedding is not comfortable. It made sleeping stressful. With this said, I would not hesitate to come back to this property at all and would perhaps buy or bring something to make the bed more comfortable.

Lots to like about this property, especially the canal.

We enjoyed our stay. We liked being on the canal, and we had coffee there each morning. We didn’t see any manatees, but lots of fish jumped. The rooms left something to be desired. The king-sized bed was very soft, too soft for our taste. Also, the toilet did not flush properly, making it necessary to use the plunger constantly. It seemed odd that there was only one roll of toilet paper, no backup.

Spacious one bedroom

This condo served us well for an extended weekend on LBK; we were only there at nighttime (it was overflow sleeping space for those who couldn’t fit in the family condo). Generally felt clean and everything seemed to be in good working condition. Only word of caution is heavy use of plug-in air fresheners. I think there were 4 or 5 in this space and it was overwhelming. If you have fragrance sensitivities, you may want to ask for those to be removed prior to arrival.
