Spring break 2024

Perfect place for me and my family. I brought my boat down and fished almost every day. Even shared fish with the neighbors across the street. Great people on either side. Beds were comfy, grill worked great. Highly recommend.

Stay in LBK

A lovely home with great living space. An easy walk down quiet street to private beach. Nicely equipped kitchen with both indoor and outdoor eating spaces. Great local restaurants and shops. In particular, we enjoyed birding and kayaking at the nearby nature preserves.

Old Florida in Longboat

Property is as described, but better. House is very quirky, with lots of different levels (and grab bars to make the up and down steps a lot easier). Beds are super comfortable, as is all the furniture in the house. Owner was extremely easy to work with. Neighborhood is fantastic. Beautiful park a block away, deli and convenience store down the street, and friendly, quiet neighbors. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Trip

House was very clean and on a delightfully quiet street with lovely neighbors. Kitchen tools and supplies were plentiful, including spices, cleaning and laundry supplies, cleaning equipment. Screened in porch was great place to have a cup of tea and read. Communication with manager was great. He usually responded within hours. Bed was comfortable and home was nicely spread out. Nice surprise was the desk and printer which made telecommuting so much easier! Only word of caution is that the addition to the house (master bedroom, family room, and laundry area) is a step down. However, it would be possible for someone with mobility issues to live on one level and handrails were included by all places requiring a step.

Perfect in every way!

This home is lovely. The interior is tasteful and comfortable. It has all the amenities you need and the owner made several special touches for comfort. The canal is quiet and comfortable. The screened patio is terrific for morning coffee. The location on the Key could not be better! This is a special place!! We loved our stay and hope to return!

Excellent House in an Outstanding Location

This house met all my needs and wants. The house is comfortable, quiet, well-cared for, and well-stocked. The location is peaceful and just two blocks to the beach. The beach is lovely and you can easily walk for miles if you like that kind of thing. There is a convenience store right around the block and a nice community park just beyond the convenience store. The grocery store is just 4 miles away. The neighbors are friendly and the street is quiet as it is a deadline, so the only traffic up and down the street are the residents. The owners are wonderful to work with. They were thoughtful, responsive, and kind. The is one of the best rental experiences I have ever had - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
