Property was cleanly and nice.

We found the beds to be a bit too firm for our tastes and noticed some staining on the linens and comforters. Also, we were concerned that some of the sliding doors to the outside did not function properly, especially in the bedrooms on the ground floor. Otherwise, the neighborhood was quiet and the views of the bay were nice.

Longboat Condo

This is a beautiful and convenient location. The bay is steps from the condo, the beach is across the street, the pool is very nice and there are restaurants just a few steps down the road. Our family had a wonderful time and plan to visit again.

Fine

The property needs some attention both inside and out. While the maids do a superficial cleaning a deep clean is needed. Under tables, beds and sofas are kids cereal, baby food, small toys, hair bands and filth. 2 dvd machines are present but we could not get either to work (after reading about the brands and the tvs). So much for the movies we brought. Outside the property has several areas that need painted or rotted wood replaced. The back screen door needs a new hinge as of now just make sure you pull it shut. The hedges along the water are in need of trimming (several feet too tall and of varying height along property) which affects the water views for this unit. Pest extermination services are needed as ants were a daily problem. We bought 6 ant traps which helped some. Parking is very tight and may impede driving out. The hedges along the lateral aspect of the property are in need of trimming as well. To drive out of the property with guests at other units required side-swipping the hedges (several times a day). Hope the small scatches buff out.

Beautiful views! Plenty of Space!

Beautiful, clean home with plenty of living and relaxing space. Multiple areas to dine, relax, and spread out. Views were amazing. Private and quiet. Short walk to gorgeous beach. Easy drive to grocery store as well as St Armand’s Circle with its many restaurants and shops. Recommend walking to Harry’s for lunch (inside) or their deli for take out sandwiches to take to beach! Harry’s was an excellent find..a hidden gem. Would definitely stay here again!
