This is our second time staying here - this year for two weeks. We will most definitely be back. We feel so at home here. The decorations, the layout, the sun deck, just all of it is amazing. Easy check in, easy communication, easy check out - it all is a smooth transaction. Five plus stars

As soon as you step into this property you can relax and start to unwind. The property is clean, well cared for and has excellent facilities, decorated with special touches you would not usually expect from a rental. The location is superb with easy access to the beaches, resturants and attractions of Longboat Key and the other barrier islands.
There is lots to do in the area but the view from the lanai watching the wildlife and time spent by the pool are our favourites. We are returning visitors and always feel in very safe hands with Nikki the property manager who communicates with you every step of the way. We would highly recommend this property and will hopefully be returning ourselves very soon!

We stayed there for 2 fabulous weeks in the Spring of 2024. The unit was well outfitted with everything you could need. The pool is nicely heated and the hot tub is not painful to get in. Especially loved seeing the family of eagles everyday. We played tennis, pickelball, spent time at the pool, beach, kayaking, biking, boating, etc. The area restaurants and shopping were great toođź‘Źđź‘Ź

We have never visited Longboat Key prior to this year…we loved it. The weather was terrible while we were there but that didn’t prevent us from enjoying our stay. Sarasota is awesome!
The condo was clean, well kept and comfortable. Beds were nice, showers great and kitchen well appointed. Property manager helped a lot. Great stay!

Lovely condo and Nikki will bend over backwards to make your stay complete. We were in the area for New Years and it was so festive. The lights at UTC are a must and the boats on the bay decorated for the holiday were so fun. Harbor Villa is our speed. It is laid back and very quiet. A lot of older people enjoying a slower pace. Perfection!

My sister and I stayed here last year and absolutely loved it so we rebooked it. We invited our aunt and cousin to join us. We had a fantastic week. The weather was a little uncooperative, but we made the best of it. Shopping at Saint Armand Circle was nice. Bridge Street up at Bradenton Beach was a fun day. The beaches are always fantastic. Sc what is she doing? Walking around? Walking around shelling was amazing. My cousin discovered that she’s an outdoors girl after all! She just has to be in the right place.
Thanks again to Nikki for the ease with which she handled our reservation. She’s great to work with.

First, the on-line processing and follow up communications with Nikki went smoothly, and Nikki took this beyond a business transaction to a personable interface. She led us through each step of the process with clear guidance and instructions.
Second, the property was exactly as described and had creative features and new furniture…. very inviting for an immediate settling in.
Third, it was perfectly situated and with the right environment to review and to strategize our vision and plans for our business in a relaxing location.
In conclusion we can truly recommend both Nikki for her “on top of it “ professionalism, and for this particular unit with its unique features.

Very well stocked, just the 2 of us but lots of dishes, etc for more. Beach towels, umbrellas, floats etc., and they were in great shape, which is unusual! Lovely view. Relaxing pool area! Close to restaurants and beaches. A little problem with TV as they were changing over companies but with great communication with the property manager it was resolved. We’ll be back!

We had a great vacation on Longboat Key. The weather was great as was the beach. The condo had everything we needed for the beach.
The condo was clean and everything was as advertised, no surprises which was nice.
Nikki was fantastic to work with and the communication was great regarding every detail of our stay. She was excellent!
The only negative was some noisy neighbors at times, but that is no fault of the owners of this nice condo.
We would definitely recommend staying in this condo when visiting Longboat Key. I'm sure we will be visiting again in the future.

After a longer break than expected we were able to book and stay at this wonderful property again
The location and facilities are fantastic with spectacular views of the bay and easy access to, shops, beaches & restaurants
What makes this property extra special however, is the care and attention paid to the interior, amenities and decor, clean and comfortable - it really is a home from home.
Nikki is a great host, makes the process easy and goes out of her way to ensure that you always have all of the information you require.
We cannot recommend this property highly enough & will definitely be back

This condo was beautiful. The upscale coastal decor was gorgeous and the views from the porch couldn’t have been more spectacular! Hope to return again someday.

Our stay at Harbour Villa turned out to be everything we were hoping for. The condo is beautifully decorated with a wonderful view of the marina and bay. The owners provided everything to make our stay enjoyable. Our interactions with Nikki went smoothly and we greatly appreciate all of the help she gave us. A number of years ago, we had visited good friends of ours at their condo at Harbour Villa and were so impressed that we wanted to go back. What a surprise to find that this was the same unit that they had owned.

We spent almost 2 weeks in this rental and it was just what we needed to unwind from the stress. What you see is what you get - awesome view any time of day, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed spending so much quiet time just at the condo (especially the lanai) with this awesome view, it was hard for us to go out although we did drag ourselves out periodically for a meal or to the beach. Host Nikki was very responsive and easy to work with. We would love to come back someday!

The Condo was awesome. The unit was actually better in person than in the pictures. Great view with an even better location. All the beaches are a short drive away. The complex was very well maintained and the pool area was great. Our family loved the area, very luxurious. The only negative was the red tide so advice to travelers is to research if red tide is present before coming to LBK. This had nothing to do with accommodations, however. Communication with Nikki was great. We would definitely stay here again if available on our next trip to Florida.

Beautiful condo, just as advertised. Classy, well stocked, clean, quiet, comfortable beds, and the pool is clean as well. Nikki is an excellent host too! Easy to work with, attentive, and always quick with suggestions on island information when asked. You won’t be disappointed!
