We had a wonderful vacation at Richard’s house on Longboat Key. It was very clean, well-equipped and spacious. The house is newly renovated and looks exactly like in the pictures. We also loved the Cedars complex - there’s a large, clean pool that wasn’t very busy, several tennis courts, a gym and a good restaurant. The location is great - close to the pool (not noisy though) and only a couple of minutes’ walk from the beach. Everything you need to have a lovely day at the beach has been provided by the host (chairs, umbrellas, cart, noodles, goggles, kid’s sand toys etc.). There are also various restaurants close by that serve excellent food.
The host Richard was very friendly, always quick to respond and went out of his way to ensure we have a great stay (he even got a baby crib and a high chair for our 1-year-old).
We highly recommend staying here and hope to be back soon! Thank you so much, Richard!
