Beautiful property on the beach with a nice salt water pool. Gas grill. Gorgeous vies of sunset from this 2nd story condo. Small building with only 6 units. As tennis players we were able to purchase a one month membership to the nearby walking distance Cedars Resort. Our friends came for 3 days.

My friends, family and I had the most wonderful vacation while staying in this condo. Of course, you can’t go wrong with choosing LBK for a vacation location, but the condo and it’s location on LBK was beyond perfect. It was great to have Harry’s across the street for morning coffee and great meals. The owners were a delight to deal with and quick to answer any questions I had. The condo was spacious, well-equipped and had the most incredible views. It really felt like a home away from home. I honestly can’t imagine staying anywhere else. I will be booking again for next year and hopefully for many years to come.

Large clean super comfortable apartment right on the beach. Very responsive owners. Highly recommended.

A beautiful property that is spacious, spotless, comfortable and well stocked. This place is on the quiet end of the island with no high rises and the sand is compact and perfect for long walks. Convenience store, pizza, restaurant and prepared food-to-go is right across the street. Seriously comfortable beds. With only 6 units, the pool is basically yours. Gracious hosts. You will not be disappointed. A lovely find.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks staying in this condo. It was perfect for us in every way. The beach was beautiful, the condo was extremely nice and well appointed, the location was great, and we had spectacular weather every day. An added bonus was the refreshing pool. The owners were also very responsive to any need we encountered. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. We are already looking forward to next year! Sincerely, Wayne and Cindy

We spent three weeks in Azure by the Sea and wish we could have stayed longer. Jack and Wendy are super hosts doing all they can to provide a first-class experience for their guests. The condo is outstanding! It is comfortably furnished, linens and beach towels are plentiful, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The condo is well maintained and very clean. The view is awesome! And the sunsets were exceptional. It was only a short walk to the beach where lounge chairs awaited us. We appreciated the beach umbrellas Jack and Wendy provided for the use of guests. The location is ideal – easy driving distance to shopping and restaurants; and a convenience store, deli, several restaurants and a park within walking distance. Azure by the Sea is definitely on our list of places to visit again.

We found Azure by the Sea to be ideal for a 6 unit condo. This ocean front property met all our needs and was professionally cleaned. The owners could not have been more accommodating. We do plan to return for several years to come.

Beautiful condo with every attention to detail. Meticulously clean, beautifully decorated and updated, quiet community, great location, and wonderful owners. Very much appreciated the opportunity to stay there. :)

Wendy’s condo is in a small complex of 6 units on the northern half of the island away from the high rises. The condo was very well equipped and comfortable with new furniture, etc. We cooked most of our meals during our 2 week stay., grilling once. The nightly sunset “show” from the lanai was a highlight of the day. The heated salt water pool was wonderful. The beach was a few steps away and fairly deserted. The gulf water was nice, warmer than at New England beaches in the summer. We enjoyed kayaking twice with Happy Paddler kayaking. Our restaurant outings were to Shore on LBK and Dry Dock Grill, both with open air seating and both excellent. We had a fun lunch outing to Star Fish Co. in Cortez, picnic tables by the docks, with excellent seafood. We will hope to return next year!

My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks at this beautiful condo. It was just what we were looking for-a lovely place to stay, small complex, pool, and on the beach. Jack and Wendy were terrific hosts. From check in to helping me try and locate an item I thought I left behind, they have been a 10 on responsiveness and graciousness. The condo is quiet, clean, pretty, and at a terrific location. I felt very at home. As coffee makers all eventually do, the one at the condo was giving up. I let Wendy and Jack know and they had a new one delivered right away. I highly recommend Azure by the Sea”

This was the best stay We had anywhere. My husband and I were blown away by the cleanliness and scenic ocean view. Can’t wait to go back. Perfect location to all the good restaurants we really didn’t need to go anywhere far.

My family and I were absolutely amazed with Azure by the Sea. If you're looking for more of a quiet relaxing vacation, with very minimal distractions then this is most definitely your kind of spot. I could list many highlights, but narrowed the most direct to the following for my wife, my parents, and myself: Location: Amazingly private, there are only 6 units to the building itself, and during our stay only one other person was there. So we pretty much had the pool and beach area to ourselves. The water in the gulf was perfect on one of the days of our stay, so much so that a manatee actually floated in between my wife and I while we were near the shore! Yes you read that correctly. (Just FYI.. they can touch you, but you can't touch them. Lodging/ Interior Amenities: You will be hard pressed not to appreciate the layout and furnishings that Jack & Wendy provide. For our stay we deliberately packed light, and really did not need anything other than 3 sets of clothes, minimal food/ drink, and a great attitude. Both bedrooms are well beyond plush, and the master bed was incredible for myself as I'd never slept in a bed that comfortable... EVER! So much so, my wife and I are looking to invest in the same mattress setup. As we stayed during the wet season, we really appreciated the "home away from home" feel you develop when/if inclimate weather of the day hits. Exterior Amenities: The view is simply stunning from the screened in patio & also from the master bedroom. Early morning sunrises with coffee in hand were my wife's favorite part of the day. Likewise, sitting outside during clear nights and seeing the moonlight waves of the beach was equally impressive. The pool area was very private and secluded. The ability to have a heated saltwater pool was very therapeutic for myself, and a great place to go if the Gulf was rougher or we just want to float in peace. Overall Impression: If you've been to Longboat Key.. then you already know how amazing it is IF you can find the right spot. Believe me... THIS IS THE SPOT! If you've never been to the area, then you're truly missing out. Other rentals in the area may be "nice".. but really cannot compare to what a gem you will find at "Azure by the Sea".

Hidden among the driveways of Longboat Key's main road is a gem waiting for you to discover! We wanted it all...directly on the beach, a pool, a small property, a lanai to keep our bugs, convenient location, and privacy. This property checks all those boxes and more! Add in the hosts with great communication and gear you need for a beach day, and there's no reason to search any further!

This 2-bedroom condo is beautifully appointed, with a lovely view from the balcony of the Gulf, the beach and the pool area below. The kitchen has all of the appliances and utensils you could think of, the beds are comfortable, and the grounds are well kept. It's close to the aquarium and St. Armand's Circle. The owners are very easy to reach and are responsive if you have a request. We highly recommend this property if you want a great beach vacation!

My wife and I stayed at Azure By The Sea recently. The location is quaint and and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there. The accommodations were excellent, and it’s obvious Jack and Wendy take great care of the property. Can’t wait to return!

Went for a girl's trip and found this gem of a place in Longboat Key! The condo was beautiful and spacious and right on the beach. Could not have asked for a better location. Wendy and Jack were awesome and easy to reach. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It was clean, well stocked, a perfect location and such a convenient, short walk to basically your own private beach. The kids loved the option of the pool as well. The owners were helpful, great to work with, and quick to respond. We will definitely be coming back!

Azure by the Sea exceeded our expectations in every way. From the minute we walked in it felt like home. The condo Is spacious , very comfy, well equipped and the view of the sparkling blue gulf is amazing. The beds were super comfortable, big closets , lots of bath and beach towels provided and even beach umbrellas and chairs . My husband especially liked the corner work station in the kitchen where he set up his computer to keep tabs on our business. The owners are quick to respond. There are many wonderful restaurants nearby and a grocery store . We loved how private and peaceful the location is as well as the beautiful beach. We highly recommend Azure by the Sea and have already booked this little peace of paradise again for next year.

We have been coming to Longboat Key for four years now, and this beautiful condo has become our favorite spot! It is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and situated just steps from a pristine, quiet beach. We enjoy morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the Gulf and fabulous sunsets on the beach every evening. This condo has everything as described: a comfy living room, plenty of dining space, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and reliable WiFi. Even better, owners Jack and Wendy are as nice and responsive as you could hope for. This condo is a little slice of heaven for beach-lovers like us, and we look forward to returning to Azure Sea!

Total 5 star experience with apartment, owner, and location. The apartment is so comfortable, clean as can be, well furnished, just great. Furnishings are new, everything is in completely top notch condition. Comfortable beds and sofas, high quality large TV sets. Kitchen is equipped with everything, all new condition, we cooked many times during our stay. Screened in Porch overlooks the pool and ocean, you can watch the sunset from there. Bathrooms are clean and roomy. Master bathroom has two sinks and great water pressure in the shower. Plenty of towels, washer/dryer, and even beach umbrellas! Great swimming pool with lots of seating that gets sun all day, and a private boardwalk that leads you straight to the beach, with chairs and lounge chairs for your use. This beach has no public parking so we were amazed by how private it felt. You can walk miles along this spacious beach with no crowds and watch the sunset each day. Easy parking, easy access to second floor walk up in a two story building. Only 6 units in building, very quiet and private. The owner was amazing - easy rapid communication, accommodating, friendly and helpful in every way. We were originally concerned because this is a new rental without many reviews, especially during COVID but absolutely no concern recommending, we were sad to leave and hope to be back soon.

This property surpassed our expectations. The beach was amazing and boardwalk made it very easy to get to. The home was immaculate and had very nice, high-end decorations. There were very nice restaurants within walking distance which we really enjoyed after the pool and sea all day. And the communication with the property owner before the visit was clear and timely and the instructions for arrival were very simple. They were dedicated to help, even when we needed something mid-visit, the reply was quick and courteous. We felt very valued as customers. We have stayed at quite a few VRBO homes over the years and Azure by the Sea ranks in the top for the customer service experience. We will definitely be back - I highly recommend this property.
