Winter’s Overrated. Longboat Key Isn’t. — 2BR w/ Beach Access

Looking for a winter glow-up? Welcome to Longboat Key—where sandy beaches, soft breezes, and that “I could really get used to this” island vibe turn even the coldest months into sunshine season. Your home base: a spacious 1600+ sq. ft. 2BR condo perched right over Crane’s Bay with front-row seats to postcard-perfect views (and the occasional surprise manatee cameo).

This was perfect for our family of four. There are bikes, pool noodles, umbrellas, and chairs available to use. Kitchen tools are available but bring all of your own oils and seasonings - this isn’t the type of place where you’ll find leftovers from previous guests. The beach is directly across the street and super convenient. We had a corner two bedroom that had gulf and bay views. Definitely recommend!

We enjoyed the large condo, amenities of the complex and how close it was to the beach. While the furniture makes it seem older, it definitely has had some updates and we would recommend it.

Came up a bit short.

Twin beds were unacceptable, very noisy and crunchy loud sounds at every move. Twin mattresses need to be replaced. Overall needs some attention to detail on the unit interior. Could use a “refresh “ to look more current. Guest bathroom door would not latch closed until the maintenance man fixed it. Kitchen was well stocked, air works well, TV works fine. Staff very friendly.

Bay view with Manatees

Our visit was brief but we certainly enjoyed our stay! Seeing manatees from the balcony was a nice treat along with having beach access directly across the street. The condo was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped though we didn't cook or have a need for the guest bedroom. The view is very nice from the living room and master bedroom. This unit is located on the corner and also by the stairs if needed. It was nice to have beach chairs, toys and an umbrella available down at the parking garage. There's a nice tennis court and Bayside pool. Also, there were two gas grills on the property. The management is onsite and accessable if needed. Very nice place. It's clean and well managed. It definitely shows when people care!

Great family place

Nice and clean, staff was very friendly. Beach access was across the road but there is a crosswalk, with flashing lights, right there which made it easy. I think it was a little pricey for what you get but I would stay there again.

Wonderful stay

The condo was very spacious and well equipped. Most notably, it was very quiet and we had a cross-walk so we could safely cross GMD to walk on the beach.

Great Location

Across the street from the beach. Large condo was as represented. Quiet building . No problems with the unit appliances. Short drive to Publix and CVS. St Armands Ciricle is about 15 minutes away. Very responsive management. We would definitely recommend!
