Best place on Longboat!

The property is beautifully decorated and has anything you could possibly need. Great location across from Durante park for walking. Gorgeous view of the gulf and can see dolphins from balcony. Beach is right off the boardwalk and wonderful. Had the place pretty much to ourselves, not crowded. There is a public beach access on either side but not too crowded and we were there spring break. Owners great to work with! Love love love it there!!

Beautiful property on the beach with a nice salt water pool. Gas grill. Gorgeous vies of sunset from this 2nd story condo. Small building with only 6 units. As tennis players we were able to purchase a one month membership to the nearby walking distance Cedars Resort. Our friends came for 3 days.

Awesome!

We spent three weeks in Azure by the Sea and wish we could have stayed longer. Jack and Wendy are super hosts doing all they can to provide a first-class experience for their guests. The condo is outstanding! It is comfortably furnished, linens and beach towels are plentiful, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The condo is well maintained and very clean. The view is awesome! And the sunsets were exceptional. It was only a short walk to the beach where lounge chairs awaited us. We appreciated the beach umbrellas Jack and Wendy provided for the use of guests. The location is ideal – easy driving distance to shopping and restaurants; and a convenience store, deli, several restaurants and a park within walking distance. Azure by the Sea is definitely on our list of places to visit again.

Ready to book again!

My friends, family and I had the most wonderful vacation while staying in this condo. Of course, you can’t go wrong with choosing LBK for a vacation location, but the condo and it’s location on LBK was beyond perfect. It was great to have Harry’s across the street for morning coffee and great meals. The owners were a delight to deal with and quick to answer any questions I had. The condo was spacious, well-equipped and had the most incredible views. It really felt like a home away from home. I honestly can’t imagine staying anywhere else. I will be booking again for next year and hopefully for many years to come.

Just Lovely

A beautiful property that is spacious, spotless, comfortable and well stocked. This place is on the quiet end of the island with no high rises and the sand is compact and perfect for long walks. Convenience store, pizza, restaurant and prepared food-to-go is right across the street. Seriously comfortable beds. With only 6 units, the pool is basically yours. Gracious hosts. You will not be disappointed. A lovely find.

Wonderful time in LBK in early December

Wendy’s condo is in a small complex of 6 units on the northern half of the island away from the high rises. The condo was very well equipped and comfortable with new furniture, etc. We cooked most of our meals during our 2 week stay., grilling once. The nightly sunset “show” from the lanai was a highlight of the day. The heated salt water pool was wonderful. The beach was a few steps away and fairly deserted. The gulf water was nice, warmer than at New England beaches in the summer. We enjoyed kayaking twice with Happy Paddler kayaking. Our restaurant outings were to Shore on LBK and Dry Dock Grill, both with open air seating and both excellent. We had a fun lunch outing to Star Fish Co. in Cortez, picnic tables by the docks, with excellent seafood. We will hope to return next year!

Fabulous stay

My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks at this beautiful condo. It was just what we were looking for-a lovely place to stay, small complex, pool, and on the beach. Jack and Wendy were terrific hosts. From check in to helping me try and locate an item I thought I left behind, they have been a 10 on responsiveness and graciousness. The condo is quiet, clean, pretty, and at a terrific location. I felt very at home. As coffee makers all eventually do, the one at the condo was giving up. I let Wendy and Jack know and they had a new one delivered right away. I highly recommend Azure by the Sea”

A Hidden Gem Of Longboat Key

My family and I were absolutely amazed with Azure by the Sea. If you're looking for more of a quiet relaxing vacation, with very minimal distractions then this is most definitely your kind of spot. I could list many highlights, but narrowed the most direct to the following for my wife, my parents, and myself: Location: Amazingly private, there are only 6 units to the building itself, and during our stay only one other person was there. So we pretty much had the pool and beach area to ourselves. The water in the gulf was perfect on one of the days of our stay, so much so that a manatee actually floated in between my wife and I while we were near the shore! Yes you read that correctly. (Just FYI.. they can touch you, but you can't touch them. Lodging/ Interior Amenities: You will be hard pressed not to appreciate the layout and furnishings that Jack & Wendy provide. For our stay we deliberately packed light, and really did not need anything other than 3 sets of clothes, minimal food/ drink, and a great attitude. Both bedrooms are well beyond plush, and the master bed was incredible for myself as I'd never slept in a bed that comfortable... EVER! So much so, my wife and I are looking to invest in the same mattress setup. As we stayed during the wet season, we really appreciated the "home away from home" feel you develop when/if inclimate weather of the day hits. Exterior Amenities: The view is simply stunning from the screened in patio & also from the master bedroom. Early morning sunrises with coffee in hand were my wife's favorite part of the day. Likewise, sitting outside during clear nights and seeing the moonlight waves of the beach was equally impressive. The pool area was very private and secluded. The ability to have a heated saltwater pool was very therapeutic for myself, and a great place to go if the Gulf was rougher or we just want to float in peace. Overall Impression: If you've been to Longboat Key.. then you already know how amazing it is IF you can find the right spot. Believe me... THIS IS THE SPOT! If you've never been to the area, then you're truly missing out. Other rentals in the area may be "nice".. but really cannot compare to what a gem you will find at "Azure by the Sea".

Perfect getaway spot

Hidden among the driveways of Longboat Key's main road is a gem waiting for you to discover! We wanted it all...directly on the beach, a pool, a small property, a lanai to keep our bugs, convenient location, and privacy. This property checks all those boxes and more! Add in the hosts with great communication and gear you need for a beach day, and there's no reason to search any further!

The large, built-in wrap-around desk in the office is very helpful to make plans with friends and family while on vacation, and even for working from this exquisite beachfront home.
