This house was perfect for our family of six. Very clean and spacious, gourmet kitchen and comfortable family room, and a perfect pool area overlooking the bay. Less than five minute walk to the beautiful beach and close to many good restaurants too. Highly recommend!

Lovely, large home with a beautiful view of the bay front. House is stocked with everything needed for a beach vacation. Loved the large pool and covered patio. Plenty of room for everyone. Short walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. This house is attached to the neighbors which made it somewhat awkward. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would rent this house again.

5 of us stayed here for a week and it was just as advertised. The pool was amazing, as was access to the beach across the street. Beautiful view from the pool area. Three en-suite bedrooms with a 1/2 bath in the LR. The place had everything you could need. We had one issue which was fixed immediately. Longboat Key is beautiful! Great restaurants nearby. The neighhood is nice and quiet. Can’t wait to go back!!

Our family (my wife & I plus our two adult children) stayed at this spacious property just to get away from the Midwest cold and recharge for the New Year.
Our host (Dina) was very helpful and responsive with our questions. The bedrooms were very open and each with their own bathroom, which was nice. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking onsite and we had the option to dine indoors or by the heated pool outdoors. The property and grounds are very well kept and just a enough seclusion off of the main drag (Gulf of Mexico Drive).
We researched and found many great places to go out to eat and found beautiful beaches everywhere we went. Anna Maria was our favorite with a less touristy feel. We found many things to do from St. Armands Key to a Green Bay Packer establishment loaded with friendly faces.
Best of all, our family spent quality time together and we even taught our children the game of Cribbage, which turned out to hit in the evenings before bed!
If we come back to Longboat Key, we will definitely come back to Dina's relaxing and beautiful property!

This is an older "typical Florida" property that has been nicely updated with fresh Master Bathroom and new Kitchen and a fabulous Pool and Pool Deck with outstanding views of Sarasota Bay. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and we greatly enjoyed our 2 week stay.

The house was clean and fully equipped. Beautiful view. Nice big swimming pool. A pier on the bay. The beach, a 2 minute walk. Several good restaurants very close. I would stay here any time. Recommended.

What a fantastic property. My family and I stayed here over Thanksgiving week.
The house is exactly as described in the VRBO listing. Extremely spacious with large bedrooms and living area providing maximum comfort. A well stocked kitchen made a week's worth of meal prep very easy. All the furniture is clean and comfortable with just the right amount of tasteful decor. The location on Gulf of Mexico Drive is super convenient for getting to restaurants, St Armand's Circle, Publix and, of course the beach right across the street.
Of course the private pool right off the living/dining area is a highlight of the house. Our two young boys, 8 and 4, spent just about every waking hour in the pool, especially on the days when it wasn't quite beach weather. I highly recommend paying to have the pool heated in the cooler months.
Great communication by the property manager prior to and during check-in as well as throughout our stay. My family and I are already talking about how soon we can return.

This house has been completely renovated with excellent taste and finishes. The kitchen and master bath are exceptional. Also, the front yard is artistic and welcoming. The owners have thoughtfully provided anything you might need during your stay and are responsive and easy to contact. We enjoyed the beautiful view, the large screened pool and the easy access to the Gulf. It was a wonderful week!

Great property for family time
Enjoyed our surprise family reunion…. We had this place planned with sister and husband and brother and wife, total 6 of us, and surprise! my other two sisters and 3 brothers all surprised us! They all stayed nearby but this house was so perfect, large enough to let us all have a great visit. Pool was great…. Weather could have been warmer but house was great. Beds were comfortable and all was great. Highly recommend for family gatherings….

Great house on Sarasota Bay
This house is so much larger than pictured. The rooms are huge. The kitchen is very well stocked. The laundry room was even great. The Host answered questions very very quickly via text. The only suggestions would be is that the guest bedrooms needed new sheets. Very pilled. The guest bedroom upstairs needs a good cleaning and bathroom needs updating. Cookie sheets all need replacement. But other than that it is house we would rent again. The pool! Wow! Had a blast. The dock was so relaxing too. We just had a blast.

Wonderful family vacation
We had a great time! 3 very clean private bedrooms and 3.5 private bathrooms were perfect for 5 of us. The pool is gigantic and very well maintained. The Intercoastal fishing dock is right in front of the house - it is not private, bit hardly anybody else used it. The beautiful secluded beach is across the street - 3 minute walk. Anna Maria beach is 5-6 minute drive away. The owners are extremely responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend the property ! We will be back !

Beautiful view with lots of space
We loved the view from the screened in patio overlooking the bay. We had plenty of space and the place was well stocked and clean. Easy walks to restaurants and beach!

Outstanding in every way!
This home was absolutely perfect for our family group of 5 adults; the house is beautiful and very well maintained, with lots of room for everybody to spread out. The views over the bay are spectacular — we loved to watch storms playing out across the bay — and the screened porch with enormous pool was where we spent much of our time. The walk to the beach is under five minutes even heavily laden with beach stuff, and is through a pleasantly green development. The owners were very prompt in communication and great to work with. It's worth noting that this house is actually part of a complex that includes a small condo (maybe 8 units?) and a couple of houses, so we were a little startled occasionally by folks coming and going right next to the house to access the shared dock, and there is also another house attached to this one, although we hardly ever saw the inhabitants and never heard them. We really did not feel disturbed by this in anyway. Overall we loved and hope to return.

Annual family vacation
By far the best overall family vacation. The house and pool were perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults, and 3 children 8, 5, 3). On the bayside, so we enjoyed the views of the water while swimming in the pool (which was bigger than we expected). And the walk to the beach was shorter than expected. My 3 year old could easily walk the whole way, while carrying a raft. Highly recommend this property for any and all groups!

beautiful large home close to the beach and right on the Bay
The home was beautiful, very large for a beach house. We had a great stay, if I had to comment anything, it would be not enough toilet paper and no curtains on the windows. The blinds were broken and the sunlight came in very early. But other than that it was an awesome stay, property owners were very accommodating!

Yearly Family Beach Vacay
The rental was beautiful. It has plenty of room for a family of 5. We dearly enjoyed the house, and plan on renting it again. The pool is absolutely beautiful and the beach is a breeze to walk to. We dearly enjoy the easy walk to it.
It is located behind and on the same property as some condominium. It's also attached to an adjoining house. It was no problem at all, I just felt it should have been disclosed. There is also some sort of issues, with the upstairs steps. Really needs to be addressed. We highly recommend this beautiful house for your vacation rental, just be super careful going up and down the upstairs stairs.

Lovely Vacation
We enjoyed staying at this property and we had a wonderful time! There is a small house attached to the main house that has residents. The residents are an old couple and we actually never came in contact with them, but I think it should be noted. Also the pool was great but not so private as there are guests from the condo that walk right by on both sides to get to the shared dock. All in all the house was nice and we had a great time!

Great Family Vacation House
Just returned from a weeks vacation in Longboat Key and could not have picked a better house or location. Plenty of room for everyone and spent a lot of time in the pool area and the beach which is accross the street (and used the wagon, chairs and umbrella from the house). Walking distance to restaurants but also used the grill and had some dinners by the pool. Great living room area with a big screen TV to watch the games at night. Beautiful sunrise right out the back. Highly recommend this house and would definitely rent again if going back to LBK! Great vacation.

Lovely home, fabulous location
We stayed for a week in May and truly enjoyed everything this house had to offer! It was a great location with a beach across the street, and other area beaches very close by. It was a quieter section which was also so nice to have. Sunrises are gorgeous and sunsets are beautiful as well. Owners were wonderful and we truly enjoyed having the screened in pool as an option when taking a break from the beach and heat. Would definitely come back here!

We loved the house, everything was clean and new and we had no trouble finding anything. We were impressed with the layout of the house. Every bedroom has its own renovated bathroom. The pool was encased and heated and a great spot to hang out and have fun. The locale was ideal, you are walking distance to shops and restaurants and there are many beautiful beaches close by for beachcombing. We loved our time here, we would love to come back! It’s a great place to relax and enjoy vacation time.
