The condo directly across the street from the public beach access.
This is a very private part of Longboat and often you will not see a soul. I was visiting in the height of season and only saw a handful of people. If it is privacy you want, you got it. This unit is all brand new with a Queen Bed and sleeper sofa for sleeping arrangements.
A large shopping plaza, Avenue of the Flowers, is behind the complex, offering a large grocery store, wine and liquor store, drug store, video rentals, specialty shops, and restaurants. High quality Municipal Tennis Courts are one block away and a four-foot wide sidewalk extends for most of Longboat Key with seven to eight miles for jogging, rollerblading, walking, and biking, and walking your dog. One can also walk the beach for the same distance, and shelling is a favorite activity.
There are also bike lanes on both sides of Gulf of Mexico Drive for extreme bike riders. Longboat Key is a very upscale barrier island which is connected by bridges to Anna Maria Key to the North and St. Armand's Key and Sarasota to the South.
Sarasota Airport is an easy 15-20 minute drive and Tampa International Airport is an hour's drive. Also located 2 miles from the famous and lovely St. Armand's Circle. Walk or take the Trolley or park in the many spaces provided.
