Adorable and only 50 steps to awesome Longboat beach directly across the street is the beach access. This is a very private part of Longboat and often you will not see a soul. I was visiting in the height of season and only saw a handful of people. If it is privacy you want you got it. It is all brand new with a Queen bed and sleeper sofa for sleeping arrangements. It has all new appliances with a dishwasher too.
Beautiful and a great escape! Beach directly across the street about 50 steps. You can hear and see the Gulf from your unit. Everyone falls in love with my unit.
A large shopping plaza, Avenue of the Flowers, is behind the complex, offering a large grocery store, wine and liquor store, drug store, video rentals, specialty shops, and restaurants. High quality Municipal Tennis Courts are one block away and a four-foot wide sidewalk extends for most of Longboat Key with seven to eight miles for jogging, rollerblading, walking, and biking, and walking your dog. One can also walk the beach for the same distance, and shelling is a favorite activity.
There are also bike lanes on both sides of Gulf of Mexico Drive for extreme bike riders. Longboat Key is a very upscale barrier island which is connected by bridges to Anna Maria Key to the North and St. Armand's Key and Sarasota to the South. Sarasota Airport is an easy 15-20 minute drive and Tampa International Airport is an hour's drive North.
2 miles from the famous and lovely St. Armands Circle. Walk or take the Trolley or park in the many spaces provided.

Second time staying at The Neptune. Best prices on Longboat Key to walk out and onto the beach. Cute, cozy, clean, and functional. I work remote, was able to have room for all my equipment, great wi-fi, quiet area. Lunches at the beach and a swim. Thats my kind of work day!
So many wonderful things to see and do in the area. Cant wait to visit again.
Hard to enjoy screened patio because of air conditioner . So much noise. So glad to find a dog friendly condo. Close to Publix grocery store. Loved the beach.
My dog and I stayed at Mark’s property for a month and it was just perfect. Nothing fancy and minimal amenities, but boy did the location (across the street from the beach) make up for any imperfections. The Wi-Fi worked great. The screened in porch was perfect for me and especially my dog. Mark was great and easy to communicate with. I had everything I needed at the condo! I will absolutely be back next year. Highly recommend!
Mark was an incredible host, I stayed through hurricane Ian and he stayed in constant contact to update me on town alerts and to just make sure I was safe. The property far exceeded my expectations. Everything you need and really nothing you don’t. The location is perfect and mark let me in on lots of little hints for getting around and such. I will definitely look at marks listings anytime I need a place to stay. I am very thankful for an amazing stay
We had an amazing time at our condo. Everything we expected from the advertising and more. This was our first VRBO experience and we'll definitely want to go back.
Conveniently located directly across Gulf Blvd from the beach access, this quaint condo makes for a wonderful beach getaway. Mark, the host, responded to all questions nearly immediately.
We enjoyed our stay! We were able to bring our pups and could easily walk to the beach. The beach was quiet and relaxing. The room was just enough for our quick stay and close to shops as well.
This was our 1st time on vacation in years. We’ve never done anything other then hotels so this was a new experience for us. Location is great. Place was clean and ready before check in. I misread check out time, as we were leaving cleaning person was coming in. She was nice and kindly waited for us to grab the dogs and run. Since we have an Autistic son mornings can be rough. Had I realized check out was 10am I would of asked for an extension or perhaps found something with later check out. All in all the owners were very responsive when we had a worry or question. Towels had spots on them wish they looked cleaner but probably had to do with families renting. We didn’t use the beach stuff but having it there is a nice touch. Wish the couch was facing the TV and a ceiling fan in the bedroom is a must! Bedroom gets a lot warmer then the rest of the place but as the owner suggested we shut other vents to push AC into the room and used the box fan. That did help greatly!! Disclaimer because of my lung issues I keep out place at 65-68 so I am used to a very VERY cold place so don’t let the no ceiling fan deter you. For the price it’s a good deal. We would gladly come back.
Love Longboat! Condo is right across from beach, less than 2 min walk. Stayed upstairs w/great view of beach. Pet friendly. Manager Mark is very easy to work with. Will stay there again. Gwen S
Stayed at this condo while in town for a tennis tournament at the nearby Town Center. My wife and I and two small dogs loved the location-easy walking distance to beach, shopping center, and tennis center. Condo was in good shape, and check-in process was very easy. We had a couple questions at arrival that owner answered quickly. And the weather definitely beat what we left at home!
Our stay was ok for the $. It wasn’t until after I committed to our stay that I realized there wasn’t a pool. (No cancellation refunds.) The traffic noise was awful. The condo was surfacely clean. It could use a deep cleaning, especially since pets are allowed. The furniture arrangement was strange. Two people cannot comfortably sit on the couch to relax and watch TV. (Cable selection too limited.) The owner states do not move the furniture. Suggestion: Move the dining room
table
where the couch is and vice versa. The cocktail table in front of the couch. The TV/armoire on the wall directly in front of the cocktail table and couch. Get rid of the lounger which is taking up valuable space. The glass bathroom sink is impractical. No where to set personal belongings. The shower is nice. The Ninja coffee maker was also nice. Provided toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc., etc., were an appreciated touch. Incorporating these suggestions would make for a more comfortable and pleasant stay. The owner was quick to respond to our needs.
We had a great time!!! Wonderful condo right across from beach access. Quiet location as well!!! It had everything we needed there was no shortage of towels, blankets, beach towels, pillows or anything you could think of. After traveling from philly at 4am we got there early and were able to go to the condo early which we really appreciated. A quick text to the owner and a quick response was so convenient. I have nothing negative to say! We enjoyed our stay and for 2-4 people would love to stay there again!
