Great private beach to getaway

Love the property - vegetation is still recovering from hurricane - but that’s expected - I did find out we paid 1 1/2 times more per night for our stay than another couple who booked at the same time - that is concerning - is it VRBO that makes it so much higher ?

Great Winter Get Away

Property manager was very helpful. The unit was clean and well stocked. We stayed in the same unit last year. It was the same, all in good order. The property remains in bad shape, following the storm. Understandable. We hope the owners are committed to restoring it. It will take time. Still a wonderful location right on the beach.

The Beach on Longboat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was easy to check in to and out of. Easy to find and we were on 2nd floor and view of beach, ocean and nightly sunsets were SPECTACULAR! Bed was very comfortable and bath towels were good quality. We arrived at night and stairwell to 2nd floor and hallway was pitch black; we had to use our Iphone flashlights for safety. This was reported. Condo decor was a little tired. Oven was filthy and cooktop was dirty and very worn. There were limited kitchen amenities. Suggestion is to supply small bottle of diswashing liquid and a sponge. Bring your own bar of soap or bath gel soap; only two tiny bars were supplied. TV was very difficult to figure out and hubby is super high tech; he finally was able to get it working. Despite a few suggestions, we had a very relaxing stay on the beach and enjoyed the lounge chairs and umbrellas that were provided. Thank you.

Beautiful Beach

Can't say enough about how beautiful the beach and set up was! Loved it! It's small and quiet, no large crowds anywhere. Perfect set up for us as a couple looking to just relax and put our feet in the sand for a short vaca while combing a trip to the east coast to visit family. Our first time on Long Boat Key and really hope to come back!

Vacation getaway

The condo was nice and had a really good view. Especially sunset! It’s location is just a short drive to restaurants, shopping and jet ski rentals. The turtle bar cafe was good and the shore restaurant was amazing! Would love to go back again and try out some other activities and restaurants.

Great views, well appointed

We loved our stay! Studio well appointed and cute, balcony and views great! Right on the beach, we listened to the sounds of waves every night! Incredible sunset view from our unit and balcony. Quiet! Screen doors could use a replacement, but other than that it was perfect! One star down on the cleaning because the cleaner apparently didn’t clean behind the bathroom door. Everything else was very clean. We hope to be back.
