January Stay on Longboat

We originally had a different unit on a canal but the unit was not ready due to two recent hurricanes. The owner Michaela reached out to let us know and offered to put us in a bigger unit for the same price as we had paid. This was our second year at Cabana Beach and we will definitely be back. The unit we stayed in was clean, beachy and well appointed. Can’t imagine all the island has gone through with these storms. It was nice to be there!!

Relaxing in Longboat Key

We enjoyed our morning coffee out on the canal with the manatees every morning. The place was clean and in a beautiful setting. The owner was responsive and prompt to solve the missing blender by delivering another to our door. We would love to stay here again.

Great spot for a weekend getaway

The cabana was perfectly placed for our visit. It was clean and very comfortable. Having the beach across the road was quite convenient for us. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Longboat Key in the future. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Manatee Magnet

This property is awesome and perfect for a couples get away. Conveniently nestled between a channel and the Gulf, we must have seen 20 manatee in 5 days. The only draw back is the bed. It's hard and the bedding is not comfortable. It made sleeping stressful. With this said, I would not hesitate to come back to this property at all and would perhaps buy or bring something to make the bed more comfortable.

The home, property and amenities were all just as promised in the listing. The home was very clean and smelled wonderful. Beautiful setting on the canal where we were frequently able to watch manatees and dolphins. I have absolutely no complaints. I plan to return and won’t hesitate to rent the same home.

Lovely rental on canal

Very clean, nice property on salt water canal with daily visits from manatees and dolphins. This is 1 of 3 units in the building but feels very private. It was very well stocked with lots of little details that were super handy and appreciated.

Awesome Location if you enjoy waterfront views

I thoroughly enjoyed the property. I worked remote from the property and the Internet worked very well. I would take breaks from meetings and cast a few lines and caught snook from the dock. The beach is just across the street and it is very beautiful. You can walk the beach for many miles. The property manager was very easy to work with and wanted to assist in anyway. I highly recommend this location and would certainly stay here again.

This rental is in an ideal spot--on the canal but just across the street from the bay. The owner/manager was very helpful with my mistakes booking this property (due to my poor tech skills.) I definitely recommend this property and owner/manager.

Cute and clean

Very nice little rental. The entire complex and this unit was very clean, cute, and extremely enjoyable. I did not realize there is not an in unit washer and dryer, which was a negative, but that was my mistake. There is one across the street in a pinch, though. Overall, really enjoyed this quaint stay.
