The property was very nice and accommodating. The pool was really nice! The walk to the beach wasn't bad, just had to cross the street. The only complaint I have are the shower has hardly any pressure and the single light in bathroom emits a lot of heat. Other than that...great experience!

Nice, Quiet Beach Get Away
The unit was clean and well organized. The pool was very warm and the beach access across the road was great. Plenty of pool and beach chairs available.

Nice Property and perfect location
Really was a nice stay. Perfect location and the condo was really nice. Pool was perfect too. Just have to cross the street to reach the beach and they have chairs available for use. My only comment would be the sofa bed isn’t the most comfortable so i wouldn’t plan on adults sleeping on it. Also there is a Publix about 3 miles away which makes it a really nice location (especially in spring break traffic. … absolutely highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

Very nice
We enjoyed our time on Longboat Key, and this property was ery comfortable. Just across the street from the private beach, it was nice that the beach chairs were right on the beach for our use. The screened-in porch was lovely. Also, it is the perfect location on the island. A distance from the high traffic area, yet within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

Tidy but tired
Dealing with the property manager on site was quite easy. She was very responsive and gave clear directions. The unit itself was left well-cleaned, but it is in need of an updating. It looks like nothing has been redone (not the kitchen, not the flooring, not the bathroom, not the windows — which were hard to open) since the unit was built in the 1970s. There was a pretty strong smell of, I think, mildew. And the box spring cover on the bed was stained (perhaps from the damp). With a bit of an investment, the place would be terrific, as the complex is pleasant and quiet, the unit is nicely laid out, and the location is unbeatable.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The unit is in a resort that is ideally located on the bay and the beach. Very clean but a bit dated. Would recommend to anyone not looking for modern accommodations. An easy walk to a few very good restaurants. Keep in mind there are no elevators, so staying on the second floor requires climbing stairs.

Last Minute Getaway
We decided to come down to Sarasota for a quick getaway. We were super happy to find a place on Longboat Key. Rebecca was very responsive and accommodating, as we made our reservation the day of. We would definitely stay here again.

Three things: 1. Leak under kitchen sink. 2. Musty smell (spray Ozone) before guests arrive. 3. Need a couple of soft pillows.
