This was the perfect condo for our 1 month stay. Beth and Richard were very communicative before and throughout our entire stay. Beth even wrote a long, thoughtful, detailed email with her top recommendations on where to go, where to eat, things to do, etc when I asked her for tips. There was a hurricane during our stay and Richard was monitoring the weather and checking in with us and even offered to refund us if we wanted to leave the condo early (we ended up staying through it all). The place was recently renovated, and all the towels, linens, etc were super clean. The condo felt lightly lived in and I felt right at home -- they were very thorough and detail-oriented and had tons of utensils/plates etc. The furniture felt high-end (very plush, deep couch) and the master bed was very comfortable. The pool was very clean and well-kept and we were right on the beach, separated by a 3 min walk through some shrubs. The condo was also the perfect location, walking distance to 2 of my favorite restaurants (Mar Vista and Shore), right across bridge to Anna Maria Island and all the Bradenton Beach restaurants etc, and a 20 min drive to St Armand's Circle. The beach itself was beautiful, felt very private, clean white sand and warm turquoise waters. Really loved having Beth and Richard as hosts, and this is the only vrbo/airbnb I've ever stayed in where I would consider returning as repeat visitors/customers :) Thank you Beth and Richard, keep in touch!

This rental is simply fabulous! The unit is so well stocked with everything from beach chairs to kitchen gadgets! There was nothing we lacked for during our stay! It truly is a magical place!

A little bit of paradise on LBK. Stayed for many yrs on the island and this home best of all. Perfect.

Very cooperative and owners were more than helpful with rental.

We can’t say enough about our month on Longboat Key, it was so beautiful and peaceful. Beth and Richard’s condo was equipped with everything we could possibly need: beach chairs, umbrellas, completely furnished kitchen with new appliances and every gadget imaginable! The condo is newly renovated and beautiful and the view off the balcony is of total serenity- the pool, manicured lawns and the Gulf of Mexico just a short walk away down a little path through the sea grass. The owners were extremely easy to work with and provided detailed information to insure our stay was hassle free. We Look forward to returning next year!

We have been coming to LBK since 1986 and formerly owned a beachfront condo on the island. For the past 5 years we have been renting. This was by far the most completely home-like condo that we have experienced. Virtually everything you could need for a month in paradise was here. High-end appliances, beautifully updated and redecorated throughout, amazing collection of kitchenware (pots/pans/untensils/glassware/wine glasses/flatware...), better cutlery than we have at home, an extensive collection of herbs and spices, more food storage containers than can likely fit in the refrigerator, regular and Kuerig coffee makers - complete with coffees! The beach towels were all new and plentiful along with bath towels and other linens. High quality beach chairs and devices - and, we could just go on and on! The only thing missing for us was a community BBQ grill The location and the views speak for themselves - you probably wouldn't be looking at LBK if you don't already know that. But this condo is special and the owners bordered on being overly attentive to our needs and comforts. They worked with us on adding a couple days to our stay and allowing us to check-in a little early. They reached out to make sure we safe as Hurricane Michael passed. They provided complete and clear information about everything from the Smart TV's to the Printer/FAX/Scanner (Yes, available for our use at no cost - they even had extra paper!) We can't wait to return! To the Smith's ... well done!!

Place was fantastic with great new furnishings and fixtures. Brand new stainless steel appliances and cupboards. Enoyed our stay very much. Owners were very receptive to our needs.
