Retreat Between the Beach & Bay

The quaintness of our condo and its location are unmatched. This 2B/2B unit is steps away from the bay, and merely across the street from the breathtaking Gulf of Mexico. Its situated in the perfect location on Longboat Key. This retreat is furnished with West Elm decor, features two queen beds, as well as two sofa daybeds. The amenities offered include: Heated Pool, Bay access for Kayaks, boats, paddleboards, etc., Tennis Courts, a big Green egg for the grill master, as well as two gas grills, and one charcoal grill. There is covered parking for one, as well as a parking space in front of the unit. We are a 15 minute bike ride to St. Armand's Circle and another 20 minute ride to Bradenton Beach. There is a plethora to do in the area, but if you are like me: you'll just enjoy taking in the ocean views.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Love Longboat Key

The condo is spacious and is exactly as pictured. The neighbors are super nice. The location is perfect. Everything you need for the beach, even a wagon. To future renters, bring quarters for the laundry which is on the 2nd floor. This is the reason for the 4 stars. Overall love it there.
