So, if you aren't sold yet, let me tell you a little more about the location of this property on Longboat Key. There are numerous restaurants on Longboat Key as well as a full service Publix supermarket. Longboat Key is located a few miles from world class dining and shopping in St. Armand's Circle. If you aren't familiar with St. Armand's Circle, well, you're in for a treat because this area is a very well known and high end commercial retail and restaurant area. It is filled with boutiques, restaurants, dessert shops, and nightlife. This is a renowned area and people come from all over to walk the circle, take in the sights and sounds, and enjoy the many offerings of this area. If you want even more offerings, Downtown Sarasota you can find an even larger supply of retail, restaurants, nightlife, concert halls, comedy venues and more. You can catch a movie, a play or performance at the Sarasota Van Wezel, or just walk down Main Street and pop in and out of dozens and dozens of shops and stores. Uber is widely available to downtown so no need to worry about transportation, everything is right there at your fingertips.

The condo is also a very short drive to City Island, where your family can enjoy a day at Mote Marine Laboratory, where you can enjoy the large aquariums, education centers, and aquatic "petting zoos" for an up close and personal nautical experience. You can also visit New Pass Bait Shop to test out your fishing luck or launch a kayak or boat at the boat ramp on City Island as well. There is a small park and beach on City Island as well.

A few miles to the north, visit Bridge St. on Anna Maria Island for a quaint island town atmosphere with restaurants, shops and two fishing piers one on the Bay (with bait shop) as well as one on the Gulf. Fish on the gulf pier while your family and friends watch you fish sitting on the beach. Piers are 5 minute walk from each other!!

We hope you choose our condo. for your next getaway!

Great beachfront condo!

We had a great time in Longboat Key! The condo’s beachfront location was perfect and provided a private, short walk to the beach. The condo was very clean and well stocked with all the beach gear you need. Check in/out was easy and we had no issues or complaints. We’d easily stay here again!

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

Fantastic

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!

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.

Great Condo in Relaxing Place

We just got back from a vacation at this beautiful condo. It was the most relaxing vacation we have had in a very long time. There were four of us - two kids under 12. We just swam and relaxed all day on the private beach and swam in the warm, beautiful water. You walk out the door and you are there! It's quiet which was welcome. The condo felt like home when we left (reluctantly) and everything provided was top-notch.

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.
