A few years ago, we left behind stressful, fast-paced careers and set out for a new chapter in Florida. Our journey has taken us along the stunning Southwest Florida coastline and across the globe, but there's something truly special about Longboat Key.
Having traveled extensively, we've always felt the most at peace by the water. Longboat Key, with its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere, feels like the perfect escape—a place where one can truly unwind, reconnect with nature, and feel at home.
This incredible destination has become a haven, and I’m thrilled to share its unique charm and tranquility with others. My hope is that your time here brings you the same joy, relaxation, and sense of connection to nature that I’ve found.
This property is truly a gem. Unlike the typical hotel experience, where the room is just a place to crash after a hectic itinerary, this BoatHouse on Longboat Key offers something entirely different. It feels like a true home, perfectly nestled in the heart of everything while surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Here, you can find the ideal balance of relaxation and activity. Whether you want to explore on bikes or kayaks, lounge on the beach, take a boat ride, shop, or indulge in 5-star dining, the options are endless. Or, you can simply unwind and soak in the tranquil ambiance of being directly on the water.
The natural elements here create a sense of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s a place I absolutely love coming back to, and I’m certain you’ll feel the same.
