Condo had a great view and we loved the cosy feel. The dishwasher was not bolted in however. I’m not sure if the homeowners were aware of this. All the other amenities were great.

Nice location. Condo sidewalk takes you right to the beach. That is great for people with mobility issues. The condo provides chaise lounges for use on the beach. The host provided umbrella and towels. I would have preferred the master bedroom mattress to be a more firm. It was too soft for us. However, that's a personal preference. I would definitely book again!

Oceanview Retreat

Looked for a few day stay in Longboat Key and came across this condo. Via the description, it ticked all the boxes. Communication was easy with detailed instructions for our stay. When we arrived I can honestly say this condo exceeded our expectations. It had everything you could need, and then some. And that ocean view from the large living room window and balcony was absolutely beautiful.
