Perfect Getaway for Two
My wife has to get her annual "beach fix". Although we're from Tallahassee, the nearest nice beach properties are on St. George Island, about 80 miles southwest.
Since we had a state-wide conference that we needed to attend in Sarasota, we used the trip as an excuse to add three nights to our trip at this beach-front property on Longboat Key.
The booking was just two weeks after Hurricane Milton. Signs of the storm's aftermath were everywhere. Only the first floor of this five story, 20 apartment condo seemed to be affected. Our unit exhibited no signs of a recent hurricane, except that we didn't have cable TV the first night.
The on-site receptionist was friendly, helpful and responsive. She had the cable fixed by the next day. The sole elevator was out of commission for a few hours, but was quickly fixed and didn't negatively impact our stay. (As I pointed out to the receptionist, we've lived through hurricanes less devastating than Milton so we understand weather inconveniences.)
Although advertised for up to six, full capacity should only be considered manageable for very compatible friends or family. It was perfect for the two of us.
Appliances and furniture have been updated and are in perfect condition. The unit was both well-appointed and clean. The unit even has a couple of beach umbrellas.
The only amenity we missed was a screen for the patio doors, but it's understandable considering that screens would never survive a hurricane.
