Great place to stay with private beach

This condo is everything it was represented to be. Beautiful beach. Pool is very clean, warm and inviting. Condo is clean. It is an older unit, not a super luxurious feel, but very accommodating and comfortable. Location is great for walking, beachcombing, convenient to dining. Bed is very comfortable. Would stay here again.

Locked out

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very nice but when I arrived just after 5 pm they forgot to leave the key out and I was locked out for couple of hours. Very frustrating

Great weekend getaway for 2

The room itself was clean and was well decorated with a beachy vibe. It was a perfect location for 2 people to spend a couple days at the beach with access to some good local restaurants . The property itself is a bit outdated but it’s hard to beat the location.

Old school Longboat Key Resort

Very quiet and beautiful resort, love the screened in porches and full kitchens! Pool was very clean, as was the rest of the property. Nothing fancy, but I personally like that, and the short stroll to the beach is absolutely beautiful! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful,also.

Quick weekend trip for my husbands birthday. We wanted to enjoy the beach since the hurricane did much damage by our home in Fort Myers. This was the perfect spot. Great location. Reasonably priced. Plenty of beach and pool equipment to use. Nice restaurants in the area as well.

A Nice Little Place

The property is accurately described, nice front room with kitchenette. The bedroom is fine and the bathroom too. Folks at the office are very nice and helpful. We liked the access to Cedars tennis, a very nice feature. We enjoyed using the pool and grill cooking and the beach is nice too. We will go back.

Beautiful Getaway on the Beach!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely efficiency. The rooms were sparkling clean, and well stocked with towels, beach towels, pillows and blankets. The pool was clean with well-maintained lounge chairs. Umbrellas, beach carts, boogie boards and beach chairs were available for our use free of charge. Best of all was the gorgeous beach and aqua blue gulf waters. Would highly recommend!

Location, Location, Location !!

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was clean and comfortable. The ability to walk steps to the beach, then pool, etc. was ideal for a week of relaxation. Margaret was incredibly helpful and does an amazing job in the manager's office. Note the road is very close and you will hear cars through the night. This was not a problem for us but might bother others.
