Beautiful Home on LongBoat Key
This home was spacious, very clean and cute decor. This was a change of scenery trip so we worked most of the time but it was worth it to see the water. Unfortunately there was construction going on for a new house and the seawall so it was very noisy during the day. Overall and awesome and safe house. Owner answered questions immediately. Would stay at again!

So first thing. There are two rolls of toilet paper for four people. I call him and he says there is extra in the spare bathroom. Not!!! So we buy toilet paper, dish and laundry detergent because there is none. My other rentals are always greatly stocked. Grill was out of gas. he did bring that. First night sprinkler system broke and was pounding the window upstairs. We fixed that.
Then we are swimming in the pool the first night and all day the next day. No lights around the pool and it seems dirty. The next day we return from the beach to swim in the pool and my daughter goes in knee deep. She gets blisters on her legs and we smell chlorine. I call the landlord, he is defensive and says how was he supposed to know what the pool people are doing. So the pool guy calls me and says we should have let you know we had all those chemicals in the pool and there were other chemicals in it when we were swimming because they were fighting phosphates. No one notified us and my daughter has blisters on her legs. I was really ill from swimming in the other chemicals we didn't know were there. They came and put lights in and out by the pool the last night we stayed there. We spent our whole week in darkness out there and couldn't even swim . It was disappointing. Then we found a shingle piece with a huge rusty nail in the outside shower. Luckily we did not step on it or would have been in the hospital.
There were countless workers coming and going all weekend they left the gates open and our dog got out.
The house is beautiful and Jerry and his wife were nice when they responded. I just felt very disappointed as all my other rentals have been so cordial and caring. This guy didn't really care. So if you stay there be careful, the house is beautiful though.

The location and house where great however we had a few issues. The pool was not the cleanest when we arrived and by the end of the week I had to call because it was green. However the owner sent the pool guy the next day! The is really only a two bedroom house. The 3rd room is not contained to the central AC and very hot down there. The elevator is the only access unless you go outside. The cleaning crew was still there when I arrived on my first day and they most definitely didn’t dust. There was also some mold in the master bathroom along with living room vents/speakers.

Perfect!
We absolutely loved this place. The location was great and the pool was amazing. The walk to the beach was a little longer than expected but no big deal. We loved the sound system throughout the house and the sunrises from the deck were breath taking. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone thinking of a trip to Longboat Key.

Lovely Home
We really enjoyed our stay in this clean, bright, well situated house. We loved the heated pool. The hot tub is perfectly placed over-looking the canal and bay. It's really nice at night. We spent hours relaxing on the deck just taking in the views. We even saw a few dolphin. The outdoor sound system is a nice plus. The pretty beach is just a short walk away and we always felt like we had it to ourselves. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. We will be back!

Longboat Key beautiful home
We spent a week at this absolutely wonderful home. The pool, the views, the house were more then we expected. Our little yorkie spent many long walks to Durante Park and we spent many days on the gulf. The sunrises were spectacular with a great view from the home and deck. We all enjoyed the pool immensely on a daily basis. This home was well equipped with everything that you need. The owners were very gracious and accommodating welcoming us with fresh flowers and fruit. We will most definitely be returning to this absolutely lovely home. Thank you Jerry and Sue for allowing us to vacation in your beautiful home

Das Haus ist schön, aber....
Wir können das Haus leider gar nicht weiterempfehlen und waren sehr entäuscht. Wir (Paar, 40 Jahre) haben das Haus 2 Tage vor Anreise gebucht. Die Bilder im Internet sind veraltet, denn als wir dort ankamen, realisierten wir, dass links und rechts vom Haus eine Baustelle inklusive extremem Baulärm war. Der vor Ort ansässige Hausmeister des Hauses (sehr freundlich) entschuldigte sich bei uns und war ebenfalls sehr überrascht, dass uns der Eigentümer nicht auf diesen Umstand hingewiesen hatte. Wir waren natürlich nicht die einzigen, die entweder frühzeitig abreisten oder eine finanzielle Entschädigung erhalten wollten. Diese sagte uns der Eigentümer dann auch zu. Zurück in Deutschland erhielten wir zwar eine Rückzahlung, allerdings nicht die vereinbarte. Auf unser Nachfragen hin, behauptete der Eigentümer, dass er uns nicht die gesamte, vereinbarte Rückzahlungssumme erstatten könnte, da wir das Haus in einem sehr verdreckten Zustand hinterlassen hätten. Alles in allem: es gibt sehr viele schöne Häuser in Florida und wir haben während unseres Aufenthalts unglaublich viele freundliche Menschen und Gegenden kennengelernt. Diese hier können wir auf keinen Fall weiterempfehlen. Der Eigentümer hat uns die Baustelle verschwiegen, die Aussicht wird, wenn das Haus fertig ist, auch nicht mehr die gleiche wie auf den Bildern sein und alles in allem fühlen wir uns um die Zeit und auch unser Geld betrogen. Nun verstehen wir, warum wir Vorkasse leisten mussten.

Just spent over 3 weeks at Tarawitt Drive. Very comfortable. Views are amazing. Very close to restaurants and beach. We unfortunately had the polar vortex so the weather could have been better. Played tennis only 4 times. Never tried the pool. Only ate on the patio 5 times. All being said loved the stay. Maya our Samoyed loved her walks and just loved sitting on the patio taking in the wildlife and waiting for the dolphins to appear. Highly recommend for a relaxing get away. The house has everything you need.

great property for a relaxing stay.
nice views from patio, minutes walk to a quiet beach. Local eatery just around the corner. St Armand's minutes away by car. We spent a week and could have stayed longer!!!

Based on the photos alone we changed our vacation dates to take advantage of this fantastic property. It was the right move; we were completely spoiled by this home. Location is perfect, views are unrivaled. Wake to beautiful sunrises, walk to Harry's for the morning paper, enjoy your coffee as the bay comes to life. When we arrived there was a minor inconvenience with the pool. Jerry said he would have someone fix in the next day. He couldn't find anyone who was available so he came back and took care of the problem himself. A man of his word! We appreciated it Jerry! This home is extremely well stocked for all of your cooking needs but we chose to eat at Harry's, Euphemia Haye and my favorite, PattiGeorge.

Absolutely lives up to its name
Thank you for a fantastic house and relaxing vacation. The house and location were exactly as advertised and we had a wonderful time. For the most part we spent our vacation on your porch reading and enjoying the bay views. Our dog Lucy loved running on the beach in the mornings and relaxing by the pool the rest of the day. If we come back to LBK - we will definitely book your house again.
