About this apartment rental
This sublime oceanfront studio is directly on the pristine white sands and serene blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico in exclusive Longboat Key, Florida! Located on the second floor, directly overlooking the heated pool and ocean, this dreamy studio condo is optimal for sunset viewing from a private lanai. Take a 30-second walk to the pool and onward to the secluded beach with loungers. Enjoy a relaxing vacation at our peaceful condo at The Beach at Longboat Key Resort!
Also, if you want to vacation with friends or family, we own a downstairs unit, #103, and another top floor unit, #224, as well...!
Upon arrival to The Beach at Longboat Key Resort, you will be wowed by this tropical property! Conveniently located mid-island on Longboat Key, on Gulf of Mexico Drive, this small, intimate resort, only 15 units, has so much to offer: direct, private beach access, heated pool, BBQ grill, pool and beach loungers, and onsite laundry.
When you arrive, make your way to our condo, Unit 222, on the second floor, for optimal sunset viewing, dolphin observing, and manatee spotting...! The condo has a smart lock for smooth entry and exit. Each guest is assigned a secure, individualized 4-digit code (deleted upon departure!), allowing for 24/7 arrival and freedom from carrying a key when on the beach...!
Upon entering, you will walk through a small entryway to view the main living space. Our condo features a queen-size bed, along with a queen-size sleeper sofa for the extra members of your party - the little ones! There is a Smart television, with cable, for entertainment when you're not beaching it, along with a variety of reading material, board games, and children's toys. WiFi, of course, is available throughout! Also, there is a closet and chest of drawers for storing belongings for a quick weekend getaway or a month-long stay...! For family use, we have a Pack 'N Play - convenient!
The kitchen, with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances (dishwasher!), is fully stocked (coffee maker - drip and Keurig, blender, Tupperware, knife set, wine glasses, etc.), including everything you might need to cook meals in on the days you prefer not to dine out...!
The bathroom features a combined tub and shower, which always comes in handy when traveling with children!
Beyond the main living space is a large, private lanai, with high top table, two chairs, and lounger, ideal for eating a meal or sipping a cocktail! There is also a deck box with beach toys!
The condo has both central heat and air, along with an additional floor fan. There is a smoke detector and fire extinguisher, as well.
On property, there is a heated pool with deck and loungers! Grab a sun umbrella from our closet and stroll down to the private beach with more lounge chairs. No need to bring your own!
A propane grill is on the lawn with grilling utensils in our unit!
On the ground floor of The Beach complex, there is a free washer and dryer if needed during your trip. There is also a main dumpster for easy trash disposal.
The best part of our condo is the direct, unobstructed ocean view and private beach access - just sublime!

Nothing short of amazing. Before our trip even started Heidi was sending us recommendations of local food and things to do. When we arrived our room was cute, clean, and filled with all the things needed for a beach trip along with a perfect beach view! While there we received a text to check our front door and there was a baggie filled with a sweet treat and drinks from Heidi. She was amazing. When we return to Long Boat Key we will surely book with her again!

Everything was as stated in the description. The location is very convenient, mid-island, Catholic Church is 5mins north and Publix supermarket & CVS are 4 mins south of the unit. The balcony view is unparalleled. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves, practically lapping at the door, can't be beat. Perfect for a couples getaway. This is a small building with just two stories, everything is just a few steps away, the beach, the pool, and your car. Harry's deli (highly recommend) is just 5 mins north, we picked up some amazing crab cakes and soups and a bottle of wine, and stayed in the first night, with a quiet dinner on her balcony overlooking the water. Heidi the owner is a hands on host, excellent communication and attention to detail.
