Ospreys Nest - February 2026

Beautiful location on the northern end of Longboat Key! Easy walk to the pool and a short drive to the beautiful Whitney Beach! Wonderful to have a garage to park in so the sun didn't beat on the car all day. Dog friendly and wonderful walking opportunities.

Overall I would recommend this spot and we would definitely stay here again!

My husband stayed here for almost 5 weeks. We had a rough start to the trip, with numerous issues (no TP in bathrooms, bug droppings everywhere, AC not working, etc) but their team communicated very well and worked to resolve the issues quickly. An AC technician arrived the same evening as check in and the AC was fixed, and a re-clean was performed the following morning. We really grew to love the place over time! For beach access, you need to drive down about 1.5 miles to a public beach access area. You are not allowed to walk across the street to Cedars West and access the beach that way. However it is really not that inconvenient to drive - its very close. Directly next to Harrys where you can pick up quick groceries or a snack. Overall I would recommend this spot and we would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great stay!
