About this apartment rental
Our condo is located on the north end of Longboat Key, about 2 1/2 miles from Coquina Beach. We are between the Gulf of Mexico and Inter-coastal waterway. We are close to restaurants in Anna Maria, Longboat Key, St. Armands Circle and Sarasota. SRQ (Sarasota/Bradenton airport) is just 20 to 30 minutes away. Our condo has two good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms up with a half bath just off the kitchen. A screened-in lanai is just off the living room. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, while the guest room has a queen and a twin bed. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room if needed. Our kitchen has all the appliances you need to fix breakfast, lunch and dinner for your family. The dining room table seats six while the breakfast bar seats three. The washer/dryer is located in the utility room off the master bathroom. All linens, towels, etc are furnished. Our condo has a junior Olympic pool (heated in the winter). There are two bicycles for riding around the area and public tennis and pickle ball courts just a mile away. A wonderful park is just a half mile away. I love walking and running in Joan Durante park. We have three tv sets, and Comcast cable. Free high speed internet is included. The city of Longboat Key requires a minimum stay of two weeks or longer. This has become our guideline.

Property could use a good cleaning (hvac vents, around the edges of floors) ,bed was not comfortable,shades in living room would pull close but would not turn to close completely, sofa has seen better days , carpeting should be replaced. On the plus side it was nice having a garage, very roomy, well equipped and nice being by pool.

Winter Getaway
Had a great time for the 3 months I was here. Was close to the beach and a few steps to the pool. All the residents I met were friendly and you could walk and get supplies instead of driving.

Beautiful LBK condo!!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Marc & Patty’s condo. Marc was wonderful to work with. It was beautiful, loved the screened lanai, wonderful master bed & bath, everything that we needed was provided, great location to restaurants, enjoyed our walks to the bay side where we sat on the dock and watched the water & boat traffic. Many more positive things to say …… it was an awesome 2 weeks. Wish we were still there. 🌞🌴⛱💙

A++++ Property!!!
We stayed at this property for 3 months after moving to Florida while we looked for a house to purchase.
The condo is very nicely furnished. All rooms have the correct furniture, linens, lamps and accessories. The living room furniture could use to be updated, but that is getting nit-picky and should not be considered as a reason not to stay here. There is one flight of stairs up to the main living area, and another flight of stairs from the living room up to the bedrooms. There is also a one-car garage. There is enough room in the garage to park a car, and store all of the beach equipment that is provided.
Speaking of the beach/pool equipment, there is literally everything you need for a day at the beach or pool! There is a beach cart, umbrella, sand anchor, chairs, and anything else you might need. For the pool, there are multiple choices for noodles, arm floaties, goggles, and whatever else you can think of!
There are also 2 bicycles and a tire pump for those that wish to ride bikes and exercise. The clubhouse also has a very nice exercise facility with many options for those that like to work out.
The kitchen is also nicely supplied. They provide everything, including a coffee maker, air-fryer, dishes, bowls, glasses, pots, pans, silverware and even a George Foreman grill. There were even some spices in the cupboard!
The living room has a couch, loveseat, and recliner. Cable television is also included, along with a DVD player and a wide array of good books and some table games. Overall, very comfortable to hang out after a day at the beach or entertain your friends!
Upstairs is 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. We only slept in the master bedroom so that is all that I will cover. In the master, there are nightstands, lamps, a king size comfortable bed, and plenty of closet storage.
The owner of the condo, Marc, is very easily reached by phone or text, and responds almost immediately to any questions, concerns, or maintenance issues. He is very caring, and sincerely wants you to enjoy his property and all it has to offer!
The location of the condo is across the street from a beautiful beach and gulf coast waters. It is less than a five minute walk to the beach, which gives you quick access to a day at the beach soaking up the Florida sun, followed by stunning sunsets!
If you are looking for a wonderful place to vacation, this is it!!!

Wonderful First Experience
We had never used VRBO so the entire process was new to us, and I was nervous. The place was more than we hoped it to be. It was perfect for our family of six with older children. Their was plenty of room, and the owners had the place supplied with lots of extra linens, kitchen supplies and fun recreational items in the garage. The beach buggy was wonderful as it is a bit of the walk to the beach. The pool was close and we could check how busy it was by looking out the windows on the upper floor. There was a pizza place and a small grocery nearby that were super convenient. The owners were easy to work with and very friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed. In the midst of the pandemic it was easy to social distance at the beach and pool, and the unit was very clean so we felt safe during our stay. Thanks for a week of family memories and relaxation.

Best stay ever!
I have been coming to the area for the last several years and this was by far the best unit I have ever stayed in. The inside is immaculate and the place has everything - from a charging wine opener to a beach buggy that can hold everything you need to make the short walk to the beach. Marc checked in with me now and then and is a great person to rent from.
