We had a wonderful stay in Longboat Key! The place was clean, check-in was easy. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Wonderful location..easy walk to beach and quick walk to nearby plaza with restaurants. Pool, hot tub, and laundry were all wonderful amenities!

Short walk to the beach from this cute 1 bedroom. Has everything you need to enjoy your stay in paradise.

We had a great time. We enjoyed the pool which is close to our accommodation and the other guests were delightful. Parking is very convenient, and the beach is a short walk away.Next time we would consider a first-floor unit as my wife had some difficulty with the stairs.

As a previous reviewer stated - the Water Pressure from the Shower Head is abysmal for someone with thick hair. I filled a pot from the kitchen with water from the bathtub faucet and used that to wash my hair one night. We advised the Management Team and they said they would address it. There is a light directly shining into the bathroom which then directly shines into the bedroom unless you close the door to the bathroom - a curtain would do the trick.The refrigerator made odd whirring noises as previously mentioned in reviews - we thought it was the ice maker which did not work...but we turned it off and that did not stop the noises.There is NO washer and dryer private to this unit - it is communal. We believe they have updated the description to note this (and it is not downstairs - there is a unit where someone lives downstairs). The BOOK for the unit did not indicate where the private beach access was, nor did it indicate where the Pickleball in the description could be found. We contacted the management company and they advised us. The checkout time differed between the Book and the online description. The parking pass was not in our unit as was discussed with the management company so we had to go get that the next day.The location was great with Bay Access and Gulf Access. The back patio was relaxing.We would NOT stay here again and we would NOT recommend it to others.
