Will come back but finding new accommodations

Online stated daily maid service. Inside we found a do not disturb sign for the door, I assumed for the daily maid service. For two days I waited for trash bags, we took our own trash out, and fresh towels. I finally called the office, only to be told they no longer do that. Every time the water went down the drain in the kitchen or the dishwasher was used the entire unit smelled like sewer. Keeping up with actual keys for the unit was not convenient either. Especially on the beach and at the pool. Then being threatened $25 a key for lost keys.

Great condo on Longboat Key

Our family stayed here for five days the week after Christmas and had a great time. The boys loved the mini golf and the heated pool. The beach was really convenient and enjoyed the provided chairs. The condo had a great view of the beach and the pool. The on-site office for the complex was helpful but I could not find any quarters to do laundry so the only thing that would make this place better is a change machine or no coin operated laundry. It was an easy walk down the street to Harry’s corner store and other restaurants nearby. Will definitely stay here again!

Nice but needs to be updated

We enjoyed the property and island overall. The condo was clean and you could tell they took pride in cleaning it. The beds slept okay but need to be replaced. Thankfully, we found pillows to help. The couch either needs to be replaced or deep cleaned (I know it’s a rental but there where tons of stains and spots.) The chair in the corner needs to be thrown out or the cushions completely replaced. Overall we loved the location and smallness of the overall condo.

Terrific Location

The location on the beach was wonderful and there were some really marvelous restaurants nearby. The condo itself was very clean and the appliances were new. While not plush, it was a terrific spot for a vacation stay. The layout was a little strange, with the front door leading right into the bedroom and the adjoining bedroom of the two bedroom suite also right in the master bedroom but it worked out fine and gave us a beautiful view of the beach and great sunsets. Unfortunately, the lock on the outside door of the adjoining room did not work properly and we got locked out on New Year's eve. It took some time, but the emergency number was answered and they helped us gain access to the room. Also, there was hardly any silverware in the drawer; but, again, the accommodating staff provided what we needed. The fitness center was about a block away but was well appointed, clean and available 24 hours a day, which we enjoyed.
