Although very small, it accommodated my needs which was a clean place on the sand. I love Longboat Key and the location on the beach and the cleanliness of the studio was just what I needed. Thank you.

Super beautiful beach and heated pool. So nice. My room had zero view but it was fine. You are there for beach. Not the room. It was clean. Pool was so clear and warm! Coffee pot, refrig and micro all good. Bed was comfy. No sink in apt except bathroom sink. Awkward. But fine. Sunrise to sunset .

Quiet little get-a-way

Room was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for a quick little stay. Location was perfect and we had our own private beach with never more than 6 people on it at one time! The heated pool was spot on for the chilly nights. This place was quiet and very relaxing. We would definitely book here again!

We love the location and the units. It’s not a high rise so you don’t park in a huge parking lot far away from where you are staying. It’s a few steps from the beach. The rooms are updated with new appliances and furnishings. I use to stay here in the 70’s. We love having a kitchen and also a short drive to grocery stores and other places to shop and explore. Beach chairs and beach pull carts are available. All units have screen porches.
