Spend your days relaxing on the resort's private white-sand beach with complimentary lounge chairs and umbrellas, launching a kayak from the bay, fishing from the shared docks, birdwatching, or simply watching breathtaking Gulf Coast sunsets. Beautiful tropical landscaping, barbecue grills, complimentary Wi-Fi, private lanais, laundry facilities, and peaceful surroundings make this one of the most desirable Longboat Key beach resorts.
Guests also have the opportunity to enjoy temporary membership privileges at Cedars Tennis Resort, including Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, a Junior Olympic heated pool, fitness center, community bicycles, and a fishing pier (available after 1 p.m. and subject to availability).

10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
We absolutely loved this condo! It was perfect in every way and had everything we could possibly need. The unit was exceptionally clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Having access to both the bay and the Gulf just steps away was amazing. Our favorite highlights were the private, screened-in balcony and the beach chair and umbrella service — such a wonderful touch that made our stay even more relaxing. The host was also fantastic and responded immediately when we were briefly locked out, which we really appreciated. This was an incredible getaway, and we can’t wait to come back!
6 / 10Average·Mar 2016
The property was adequate. Seemed a bit overpriced for the size and condition of the unit, compared to other units in the area. Couch needed replacement as the cushions seemed like they had not fill in them. We were able to rent for next year at the same price at a nearby unit which is larger and on the beach.
