Weekend Getaway
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!

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.

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.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointed with the lack of housekeeping services. Guests should not have to take dirty towels to the office daily or strip bed at check out. Price increase for next year of 1,000 week is outrageous!

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

Our only suggestions are updating the sofa and putting a mattress topper on the very hard bed. Thanks for a great getaway!
