Las Hermanas Oasis
Situated on the pristine shores of Longboat Key beach, Las Hermanas stands as a timeless retreat, embodying the essence of Old Florida coastal charm. Once known as the Starfish Motel over 30 years ago, this idyllic haven was aptly renamed "The Sisters" in homage to the owner's four daughters, who frolicked on these sands as little girls and continue to create cherished memories with their extended families today.
This beachfront oasis comprises four individual and fully equipped accommodations, including two cozy studios and two spacious one-bedroom retreats. The allure of Las Hermanas lies not only in its familial history but in its direct connection to the Gulf of Mexico, offering guests a front-row seat to the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf.
A large paved patio beckons guests to unwind and revel in the coastal splendor, with private beach access, sun loungers, grills, and outdoor dining furniture creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and camaraderie. Conveniently located close to shops, restaurants, and a grocery store, Las Hermanas invites visitors to immerse themselves in the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility, ensuring an unforgettable retreat on the sun-kissed shores of Longboat Key.
Longboat Key Life
Once a vacation land of the Timucuan and Caloosa Indians, Longboat Key is a quieter gulf-side retreat located between Lido Key and Anna Maria Island along Florida's southwest coast. The barrier island is surrounded by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. The island’s eastern shoreline is covered in mangroves with hidden canals and marinas. On the western shoreline, you can walk for miles on the white sandy beaches and swim in the gentle gulf. Imagine spending your days beachcombing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, golfing, or cycling along the island's winding bike path.
Longboat Key is known for its abundance of dining options. With the Gulf and Sarasota Bay in its backyard, many restaurants focus on serving local, fresh seafood while visitors enjoy amazing waterfront views.
Just south and across the bridge is bustling St. Armand's Circle, a popular destination filled with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and tropical landscaped courtyards. Head north on Longboat Key, cross the Longboat Pass bridge, and find yourself on Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. This area offers gorgeous, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, fun waterfront bars, restaurants and a variety of shops.

Peaceful and Relaxing Beach Vacation

Thank you for a beautiful and well stocked place. We had a wonderful time. The kitchen has plenty of room to cook in, thank you for stocking it with a good coffee maker and coffee. Every morning we would toast our English muffins, cook up our bacon and fry up our eggs. Sitting outside in the patio was wonderful. It’s the little things like the dish drainer in the kitchen , a nice fan above the bed and a trash can in the bathroom, also a full mirror behind the closet door that makes our stay magical. We so appreciate the beach chairs and the umbrella, though we still brought our own beach umbrella because ours had good UVA protection. The sweet path down to the beach was wonderful. We are definitely coming back!

Loved that it felt like a secluded island, very quiet and calm, not a party beach or area. It was just what we needed. Found a great spot for relaxation!

Perfect Beach vacation!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay here very much. The host was friendly and fast to respond to questions we had prior to booking and during our stay. The condo is very clean and comfortable and best of all, right on the private beach. We look forward to our next stay here!
