Longboat Key Life Once a vacation land of the Timucuan and Caloosa Indians, Longboat Key is a quieter gulf-side retreat located between Lido Key and Anna Maria Island along Florida's southwest coast. The barrier island is surrounded by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. The island’s eastern shoreline is covered in mangroves with hidden canals and marinas. On the western shoreline, you can walk for miles on the white sandy beaches and swim in the gentle gulf. Imagine spending your days beachcombing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, golfing, or cycling along the island's winding bike path. Longboat Key is known for its abundance of dining options. With the Gulf and Sarasota Bay in its backyard, many restaurants focus on serving local, fresh seafood while visitors enjoy amazing waterfront views. Just south and across the bridge is bustling St. Armand's Circle, a popular destination filled with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and tropical landscaped courtyards. Head north on Longboat Key, cross the Longboat Pass bridge, and find yourself on Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. This area offers gorgeous, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, fun waterfront bars, restaurants and a variety of shops.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Peaceful and Relaxing Beach Vacation
Thank you for a beautiful and well stocked place. We had a wonderful time. The kitchen has plenty of room to cook in, thank you for stocking it with a good coffee maker and coffee. Every morning we would toast our English muffins, cook up our bacon and fry up our eggs. Sitting outside in the patio was wonderful. It’s the little things like the dish drainer in the kitchen , a nice fan above the bed and a trash can in the bathroom, also a full mirror behind the closet door that makes our stay magical. We so appreciate the beach chairs and the umbrella, though we still brought our own beach umbrella because ours had good UVA protection. The sweet path down to the beach was wonderful. We are definitely coming back!
