Great view
Even though we were on the first floor we had great views. Short walk about 1 to 2 minutes to the beach. They have everything we needed for the beach with a toddler including sand toys, umbrella and beach toys. Plenty of towels and a starter kit of other items. Checkin was easy just went to the office and got the keys then just dropped off. We had some electrical issues that the entire town was having and the office contacted me letting me know how to handle the air conditioning. That was very nice they were proactive. Very much enjoyed our stay.

This was our 3rd year in a row on LBK and in this unit. It’s beautiful and easily situated to the beach. The community is safe and so kid friendly. We had a great time as always and can’t wait to come back next year!

Beautiful clean condo with nice view of the ocean
This was one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Impeccably clean and the view is better than the pictures show. The condo is spacious and the beds are comfortable. The surrounding area is very nice and very quiet but is also not too far from shops and restaurants. There are free chairs on the beach to use and that was a nice touch. Couldn’t recommend this place enough

This unit is lovely. The location facing the beach and on the first floor was ideal. It is decorated beautifully. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The beds (even the sleeper sofa) were comfortable. I don’t have one complaint. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Very clean and relaxing
The king bed I slept in was SO comfortable. I also loved the stand up shower. Great water pressure and plenty of nice, hot water. Loved having a kitchen stocked with pans, plates, etc. The living room was also so comfortable to lounge and watch movies, Netflix etc. Super comfortable couch. Nice having a washer and dryer in unit too. Only negative was that they forgot to put a key in our welcome envelope, so after a long day of traveling we were unable to get into our condo when we arrived. Was a bit stressful with a tired one year old, but they responded quickly and got us in.

Love Longboat Key
Beautiful location; enjoyed yard/sea views from living room & patio. Beautifully decorated, as pictured; but unfortunately, perhaps due to hurricane evacuation two weeks prior (no damage though,) the bed linens were dirty. Food stain, makeup stain on sham/bedspread & dirty marks on king bedspread. They brought new bedspreads but the shams were not replaced. I understand with time constraints that it must be hard to clean sheets & all the bedding too; but, and the office agreed, it must be done. Everything else was fairly clean.
