Not the best stay
Already had submitted my review but to summarize the AC unit stopped cooling the night before we were checking out and the sofa bed needs replacing. It's in very bad shape and impossible to sleep in.

The resort is not overly huge which makes for a less crowded and enjoyable time. Room was clean and we were just a stones throw from the beach. We would definitely go back!

Lovely area
Place was very nice. Unfortunately, the red tide made it uncomfortable. Beach looked beautiful which is where we wanted to be but because of dead fish and terrible odor we were not able to sit in beach or walk on beach. Thank goodness for rec facility about half a mile away. We were able to enjoy that pool.

Good for the Price
Inside of room was beautiful. Sliding door to patio could use an upgrade. Location was great right on beach and towels, chairs & umbrellas were available. However, not enough umbrellas so had to get out early to get one.

I loved it...but
I loved it, we changed rooms ( From 257 to 256) because we stayed a day longer because of the weather, but we checked out Monday which we didn't have to, we had 257 until Weds. at 11:00 we checked out because it was easier "we thought" we changed to 256 the bed in 257 was great I slept, but the bed in 256 was not comfortable at all. I couldn't sleep, its as if many people slept in it. It's not as firm as 257. They need to change it. Other than that we loved Longboat Key. We loved our stay. The girl in the office was very helpful. The place was Very Clean. Better than the pictures, 257 was awesome. Diane

Birthday weekend getaway
The condo was very nice and clean. I really enjoyed the private beach and the time we went was very quite exactly what I was looking for. If there was anything I would change would be the parking. May i suggest assign parking spots. It rain something horrible with no where to unload luggage . The first 2 spots (CLOSEST TO THE CONDOS) should be a loading and unloading zone 15min. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time at your vacation spot. Michelle Jones

Clean. Easy to get to the beach. Great views from our balcony.
One complaint: the vent in the bathroom is incredibly load. Consider a quieter vent or at least separate switches for vent and light.
