Nice location. Condo sidewalk takes you right to the beach. That is great for people with mobility issues. The condo provides chaise lounges for use on the beach. The host provided umbrella and towels. I would have preferred the master bedroom mattress to be a more firm. It was too soft for us. However, that's a personal preference. I would definitely book again!

Relaxation Complete

Property was perfect. Location and view were amazing. The fact the patio had shade all day allowed us to spend most of our days there! Short walk to the beach to dip our feet in the water and pick up shells made our stay complete.

Oceanview Retreat

Looked for a few day stay in Longboat Key and came across this condo. Via the description, it ticked all the boxes. Communication was easy with detailed instructions for our stay. When we arrived I can honestly say this condo exceeded our expectations. It had everything you could need, and then some. And that ocean view from the large living room window and balcony was absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful View of the Gulf

The unit had a great view of the gulf with a wide open window. It was spacious and quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked and everything you may need for the beach was provided for us, including a cooler, chairs, umbrellas and boogie board. The patio was a little tight but we appreciated the high top seating and lounge chair. The property was well maintained and clean. Property management was very nice and accommodating. This was our first visit to LBK and didn’t know what to expect. It was a little too quiet for our family. We would have liked a cafe, eatery or bar to walk too, but if you like quiet, this is the place to be.
