The Beach on Longboat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. 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: The room is smaller than the pictures, but that was manageable. During the first day, the bathroom faucet wasn't working. They replaced it in a day. Then it rained one night during our stay and there was a leak from one of the windows near the dresser. The management didn't seem too concerned about it. They said they were going to address it after we left. Luckily, only a few of our clothes got wet. The room had three coffee cups and one drinking glass (though there were plenty of wine glasses) and limited plates and silverware. Also, there was no membership to the Cedars Tennis resort listed in your description. The front desk said that the owner never paid for a temporary membership. Since we were out of the room a lot it was okay, but I wouldn't stay there again.

Long Boat Disapointment

The Property had major issues. First a huge Water stain is the forst thing you see when you enter. The Air is insufficient to cool the space and it was not hot. The Bathroom has a non-functional sink. You have to shave, Brush yor teeth and wash up in the kitchen sink. The Bed is like a Pocono Mountain Summer Camp post WW2 Cot. The bed is unsleepable. Coils in your back, you wake up the other person in the room when you get up as it creaks lodly and in an annoying way. This property needs imprivement. Not only would I not recommend. I am out on all VRBO.

Weekend getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience was great! The location is incredible, your minutes away from everything. Publix and CVS are a 2 min drive away. The room is just what you need, a bed and a shower. The bathroom sink is horrible, it has zero water pressure which makes it hard to wash your hands, teeth, face you name it. The shower however is the opposite which is funny, great water pressure but the hot water is VERY hot. We would definitely stay here again since we did it for the beach access which is steps away but the bed is horrible. We didn’t really get much sleep, the springs are shot. I would say if they got a new bed we would probably stay in the same room.

UPfront about Airconditioning. Not Central Air.

Over all stay was ok but need to let people know RM220 has small window unit not large enough the cool room in Florida Heat. Even thought it was a new A/C unit. Maybe Upgrade to split system A/C unit. Also would be nice if some of the pillows were replaced as they had a smell. Linens covering bed had holes. Incomplete eating utensils IE. only knife and spoons no forks in room. Toilet wobbled when you sat on it. Might want to turn hot water heater down to prevent scalding of clients (I almost burnt myself) in shower. Make sure rooms refrigerator is functioning. They had to replace while we stayed there. They lady in the office at our time of arrival did everything possible to correct the errors of the A/C unit which a portable unit was brought into the room but it was loud to listen to. But it solved the hot room problem. Really need to do a review of the essentials in the room. IE only 1/2 a blender unit in room. Details are important to guest.

Great little place and location

We stayed at this unit for four nights and had a great stay. The bed was pretty comfortable, kitchenette was a big money saver and the shower had great pressure. I like that the beach is just steps away and there is a pool as well, so you have it all there, including a little rabbit out back. The ac wall unit was a little loud at times but not an impediment to sleeping.

Nice Place

Based on the pictures and the description, I was under the impression that this was a condo, but I realize now that it was a motel. The property is nice and includes beach towels as well as chairs and umbrellas for the beach. This particular unit was a little worn out and had a bit of a musty smell, but it went away after the first night. The staff was very nice and attentive.

Relaxing Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is perfect for a couple looking for a beach front property at a reasonable rate. It was clean and updated. The water pressure was nice. It was great having the chairs and umbrellas available on the beach. We wound up spending most of our time at the beach because of this convenience. The beach was LOVELY and the water was warm and clear. The only complaint is the window AC unit. It was a little loud and at the peak heat hours, the room became a bit stuffy. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

We were very unhappy with the deceptive advertising. It suggested a view of the beach…this was only unit with no view Initial price listed at 247/night…but actually was 400/night with all the excessive fees charged for cleaning, but instructed to do a lot of cleaning (stripping beds, emptying trash, running dishwasher)…AND asked to leave a tip for cleaning staff!!
