Beautiful house, great location, thoughtful owners

Our stay was very enjoyable, due to a number of factors: the house is lovely and one of the most thoughtfully stocked homes (of kitchen and bath supplies, bedding, towels, beach toys,etc) we have ever rented; the house guidebook is clear and thorough re all the house, neighborhood and recreational information you need; the area is great for easy access to the beach, walking trails, and tennis and a pool across the street. The canal that follows the road ends at the house, so sitting on the patio or the small dock are nice ways to relax. Finally, we found the owners so easy to communicate with for quick questions…it felt like we already knew each other. When we had visitors stay with us, the house’s layout was really impressive in how bedrooms and baths are spaced to allow for privacy and minimal sound challenges. You will be lucky to be able to stay here….we know how lucky we are to find this place and we plan to return!

Already booked for next year!

Our multigenerational family of 7-8 really enjoyed our stay at Jennifer’s home. We have been renting in the area (AMI to LBK) for the past 8+ years and this was the most comfortable place yet! It really felt like we got an equal return on our investment. The property is beautiful, we enjoyed the outdoor space so much (dining tables, couches, grill, kayaks) and the indoor, of course! You can tell how much love and care went into each space of this home. The pool and gym are super close and convenient; the beach is walking distance and we so appreciated the provided beach chairs, towels, toys and wagon. We cook almost every meal at home and found the kitchen to be sufficient for our needs, but also enjoyed the comforts that were in walking distance/ coffee, pizza, restaurant and convenience store. We’ve already booked for next year and that’s the first time we’ve ever rented the same place twice!

A Dream Getaway!

Jennifer has done it. She has created the perfect beach vacation getaway dream house. Our group of 8x 30-somethings spent a memorable week enjoying Longboat Key's beaches, waterways, wildlife, and natural charm. The space comfortably accommodated all, and Jennifer was lovely and incredibility communicative. Would highly highly recommend!

Great family vacation

We brought our entire family to Longboat Key on specific dates in August in order to attend my Mother-in-Law’s 101st birthday party nearby after it was cancelled last year due to COVID19. The house was perfect for our family of 9 that included 4 family units from the ages of 2 to 72 for our first opportunity to be under one roof together in more than a year-and-a-half. Despite unavoidable disappointments—severe storms for the first two days, pool closure for renovations at the tennis club across the street, and Red Tide making the beach/ocean inaccessible—we had a wonderful time and appreciated all the home’s amenities that made staying mostly indoors comfortable and fun. We enjoyed the walking trails and playground at Durante Park within walking distance of the house and a day at GT Bray Aquatic Center in Bradenton that Jennifer recommended after we learned that the Tennis Club pool was unavailable. The adults in our group enjoyed access to the gym and tennis courts across the street. We were also able to invite to the house extended family from Bradenton and St. Petersburg for our grandson’s 5th birthday party in the outdoor living space under the house. We had a terrific experience and would be happy to gather together at this exceptionally maintained and well-stocked house the next time we have a family event in the area.

Great Vacation!

This is a beautiful house that fit 5 of us great, with extra room if we’d needed it. Very comfortable house with everything you could need for the stay! Property is beautiful and has coconut trees and a dock to a canal to the bay. Lots of wildlife in the area which was awesome. House is very close to pool. The walk to the beach is a good 5-7 minutes and was on the longer side of what I’d do with two young kids (2&5), but for the beautiful house, price and location of everything else it was great. Beach was beautiful & MUCH quieter than 30A area of the gulf. Mote Marine Aquarium was really cool on a day when the ocean was too choppy after hurricane Elsa. St. Armands Circle is an easy drive if you want to explore more shopping and restaurants too. We ate at Speaks Clam Bar (St. Armands) and it was a great Italian Seafood spot. The Shore (LBK) was also a beautiful date night spot with great views. We got groceries on the way in at a Publix before LBK & we should have waited to go to the Publix on LBK - didn’t realize it was so close! Would return to the house and area!

Beautiful newly remodeled home

This house was a perfect layout for our family of 9. Big open living room, dining room and kitchen. Every room is beautifully decorated and spotless! It is actually bigger in person then the pictures make it look. Lots of windows so that was fun being able to watch the afternoon rain and lightening storms. Kitchen is fully stocked with top of the line appliances and kitchenware. We had 4 young kids with us so we cooked a lot so I would just recommend to bring spices. Beautiful patio and only a 2 minute walk to the pool and 10 minute walk to their private beach. The owner Jennifer responds very quickly with any questions you may have about the property and the area! We loved the home and would definitely stay here again!

Extremely elegant and great for beach and pool

The first impression was WOW! The house is furnished in the best taste and was very clean. As a party of 4 adults with 4 children we had a great time. There was plenty of space and the 3 bath rooms were great to manage the morning and evening easily. Jennifer was so helpful and replied very quickly to solve our issue with the door lock within a day. Thanks again for this. The beach is a bit of a walk but we‘ve found everything that we needed to have a great time: a buggy, umbrellas, toys and towells. In the afternoon we went to the pool just across the street. It‘s a big (!) pool which was never croweded when we were there and there were also lots of sunloungers and umbrellas. We also enjoyed some BBQs using the big grill. Be aware that there is a significant number of mosquitos. However you can prepare yourself. @Jennifer: we had a great time and the sea food at Mar Vista was awesome
