Charming Condo on the Coast!
About this condo rental
Situated in Longboat Key, this lovely condo for $275 per night is a great option for your next trip. 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 complimentary chairs and umbrellas. Enjoy a relaxing vacation at our peaceful condo at The Beach on Longboat Key Resort! Upon arrival to The Beach on 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 (WiFi connection poolside!), BBQ grill, complimentary beach lounge chairs and umbrellas, onsite laundry, and complex office with staff. When you arrive, pick up a parking pass from the main office (onsite staff 9A.M. - 5P.M. daily for any questions), and then make your way to our condo, Unit 222, on the second floor, for optimal sunset viewing, dolphin observing, and manatee spotting...! If you arrive late, there are also two laminated passes in the condo - use and return - easy! 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, blender, Tupperware, 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 and two chairs, ideal for eating a meal or sipping a cocktail! 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, featuring complimentary lounge chairs. Pick up a beach umbrella and walk through the sea grapes (no need to cross a busy street!) to reach 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! Notes: 1. Upon arrival, the condo will be prepared with fresh bed linens, bathroom towels, and beach towels. There will also be starter supplies of toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soap, paper towels, sponge, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent. Daily housekeeping service is not available unless you would like to request a mid-stay clean for an extra fee, which I can arrange for you...! Sometimes that can come in really handy! 2. For our condo, there is one parking spot available - park wherever you like within the lot! Due to the size of the parking lot, unfortunately, no guest cars or trailers can be accommodated because it will take a spot away from another condo. 3. Please note our condo is a 330 sq-ft studio best suited for one-two adults or one-two adults plus one-two children in the sleeper sofa, and/or one in the Pack 'N Play, if needed. Unfortunately, we cannot accept reservations for over two adults due to sleeping arrangement comfort. If it is a unique situation, feel free to message me to discuss further. Thank you for your understanding! 4. The condo is located on the second floor... for a stunning view! At the complex, there are stairs, but no elevator. 5. Our guest cancellation policy is "Firm," so we will not refund reservations due to inclement weather in our area of the country or yours. If this is a concern, please consider purchasing trip insurance prior to your vacation. Thank you!

Everything from start to finish was easy and everything we imagined. Heidi was an amazing host. Kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. She even surprised us the next morning with a key lime pie and a half gallon of my favorite orange juice. I would recommend Heidi and her place to anyone. We will definitely be back!

I have stayed in many, many condos over the years and found this one to be outstanding. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the pool and beach were so accessible and enjoyable, and most notably the owner provided everything imaginable that you might need for a vacation away from home. will definitely rebook!

Beautiful! Love visiting Longboat Key. Everything was just like description said. Heidi was great. Got surprised with some tangerine juice and small key lime pie first morning there. Quiet and peaceful! Just what we needed. Hope next time it can be longer!š

Heidi was an excellent host...highly recommend her! The condo is a studio (efficiency) with only one room, so tight on space and not much area to store food (just an FYI). That said, the condo is well stocked for visitors (beach gear, etc) and the building is nice with a pool and immediate beach access. They painted the doors and pool area during our stay, so the building is obviously well maintained.
Recommend for a couple's get away!

Our stay was a fantastic experience. The condo was beautifully decorated, clean, and offered breathtaking views of the beach and ocean. The access to the beach made it incredibly convenient.

We could not have wished for/or imagined anything more beautiful/wonderful!
The view of the turquoise water-and sky from the balcony--was unsurpassed at ALL times of the day!
The moon was full and shone so beautifully on the water!
Heidi was exceedingly-abundantly gracious and generous--utterly available--and she even let us know about 'Yoga on the Beach' which was wonderful.
I/we hope to return again, and again!

My husband and I stayed at this property and absolutely loved it. Perfect for a getaway. Steps away from the beach, which was not crowded, and chairs were available on the beach. Amazing view! The unit itself was very clean and Heidi, the host, kept us up to date on when our room was ready and made sure we had everything we needed. We have never had a better host! Within a short drive, you can find restaurants and a little further south, a big shopping area for clothes, souvenirs, etc. There are plenty of activities available, but we stayed close to the beach this trip!

Not only is this a great location on Longboat Key, it is the best unit in the complex, directly over a pool of beautiful blue water and the beach just steps away. We spent one afternoon, for several hours, enjoying the company of a very polite grey heron who decided to sun himself and relax on the pool deck right below our balcony. Saw several dolphins and a blue crab and a sea urchin on our beach walks. Quaint and cozy we had every amenity that was needed for our stay. Also loved the keyless entry. No worries about having to carry and possibly lose a key! This was our first ever experience of a host showing us their appreciation with a key lime pie and tangerine juice! Yum! Excellent communication before, during and after our stay. Heidi most certainly is a Premier Host! We would definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a beautiful view and the host provided all that we needed and more. We especially liked having a pool or beach option just footsteps outside our door. The space was cozy and clean. Thanks for having us!

We stayed for three days including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Even though the weather was very chilly, the view was still superb! We were surprised with some delicious treats from Heidi on Christmas Eve morningā¦ such a nice gift! Comfortable and quietā¦ exactly like the listing.

This condo is small but thoughtfully furnished and equipped. The building and the beach were quiet. The view of the Gulf is gorgeous, both from the balcony and from inside the condo. The owner communicates very well. She is welcoming and provides accurate, useful information.

Wow! What a great find. This cozy little studio was perfect. Just steps from an amazing (and not crowded) beach on the Gulf. Easy beach access. Lovely pool even closer. We could have just sat on that balcony all day. Perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. Stunning view. Spotted many dolphins. Took in a spectacular sunset.
Very comfortable bed. Plenty of towels. Glassware for inside and plasticware for out.
The place is conveniently located smack dab in the middle of Longboat Key, and maintains a very laid-back vibe. Did not feel touristy at all.
Heidi was super communicative and very gracious. She made sure we had everything we needed and even surprised us a couple times by leaving treats at our doorstep. What a great Hostess. We were treated so well, really.
We definitely will be back and look forward to sitting on that balcony again. Thank You Heidi!!!

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful place for six days. It was complete heaven. Heidi even delivered us a Keylime pie and orange juice after our first night. The view cannot be beat! I especially enjoyed drinking coffee on the private balcony in the morning. Itās really hard writing this review as I am currently getting ready to go back to work!

What a wonderful place to relax and reset! It was EXACTLY what we wanted-lovely views, easy beach access and a clean place. My husband and I never felt crowded during our week's stay in Heidi's well appointed studio. By far the most responsive, communicative and helpful host we've ever encountered-in a non-intrusive way. We felt like we were renting from a friend by the end of our stay. We will CERTAINLY be returning again!

Best āSoul-Oā trip Location
I take one trip a year on my own to reflect and relax. This was the best location to do just that! The beach is literally in the back yard of the building and was so beautiful! The town is small and not touristy, but a 5 minute drive will get you to the cutest shopping and restaurants! Heidi was extremely helpful and available! Best experience Iāve ever had at the beach!

Great little getaway
Our stay was relaxing and the owner did an amazing job communicating throughout our stay. She even provided a surprise our first morning thereā¦. We love Longboat and are pleased to have found another great location to stay.

My biggest take-away is that Heidi's communication and resposiveness were excellent from booking until after checkout. She is extremely accommodating, truly cares about your stay, and interested in your opinion. As for the property, awesome location and view. Small with a few units which we liked. We could watch the kids in the pool from the balcony. The beach was beautiful. Publix is super close in case you need anything. Room was a little tight with 4 of us (2 adults/2 kids), the pull-out bed left no space in front of the main bed but it wasn't a big deal. Plenty of space for 2 people though. Could drive up to Anna Maria or south to St. Armand's circle. We didn't do too much since our stay was short but would rent again. Thank you!
