Lovely Long Boat
Fabulous, modern and comfortable house located on the north (quieter, i.e., few condo high rises) end of Longboat. Wonderful place. I highly recommend it!

modern style home on longboat key florida
Lovely contemporary style home and property on canal with manatees when it is quiet. We had some unexpected construction on the home next door that kept us from enjoying the pool but the owner discounted some of the price due to this.

Boathouse II
We really enjoyed the house - Amazing finishes and decor. Great Outdoor deck with grill and views of canal and pool! Only issues were that the description does not let you know that there is a second property that shares the pool and dock. Also, the bed in the second bedroom is more like a full size, not a queen size.

Unique and Beautiful Property!
My family of four stayed at the Boathouse for spring break the first week of April. We came to LBK for the beach, but the house ended up being such a treat. We loved the indoor/outdoor living space and kept the floor to ceiling doors onto the porch open most of the time we were there. The breeze off the canal was amazing and the view (from every window) was so peaceful. It was very cool to go out on the dock and watch the manatees who live in the canal.
The kitchen was appointed with all high-end Bosch appliances and well-equipped with the tools you would need to make a meal. Note, the coffee maker is a Keurig, which we did not bring pods for, and the little store down the street was out of them. They do sell premade coffee, so we just walked or drove over and bought it in the mornings. We also used the gas grill, which was well-equipped with grill tools.
The house was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean, and it’s obvious that much effort has been made to make it as homey as possible - there are tons of beach and bath towels, throw blankets, scented soaps, candles, games, hampers in the bedrooms, nice hangers in the closets, two-ply toilet paper (it’s the little things!), and even a picnic basket tucked in a cabinet. The finishes and decor are all very well-done. The motorized shades are so convenient and easy to use. The only negative I will say is that both the mattresses could be better. They don’t seem to be of great quality and there’s not a mattress pad - just a thin waterproof cover - which doesn’t add any cushioning.
The beach access situation was a bit unclear to us before we arrived, so I wanted to share info about that. There are two “private” beach access points across the street to the left, which we did use a few times to watch the sunset or take a night walk on the beach, and no one bothered us about it or batted an eyelash. However, during the day we ended up driving to the public beach access that is slightly north of the property, because that beach was wider and less shelly than the one across the street. Parking was easy and it was not crowded at all.
Overall it was a memorable trip for our family, and we would definitely consider returning to the beautiful Boathouse in the future!
