Perfect Sunsets

This is a quaint, efficient space with a beautiful location for perfect sunsets. We enjoyed breakfast and happy hour on the patio each day. The rental agency was quick to reply to calls and texts even though no one was on location in the office. The location is great. We walked to LBK Farmer's Market and enjoyed delicious meals nearby at Shore and Mar Vista Dockside. We spent a day at Sarasota Market and kayaked through the mangroves in Lido Key. We'd definitely go back and stay at The Beach #106.

Great and not so great

Will review the great part first....the beach is literally steps away and the pool even closer. We came here simply for that reason and it was a small condo at only 16 units. It allowed more of a quiet atmosphere without lots of people around. The bad...these units are so outdated and old and need to be redone. The furniture is old and ugly and uncomfortable. Not to mention the tv is on the wall and you can only see it if you are laying in bed...the sofa is under and away from the tv. I am sure this is because of the smallness of the room but as I said...it is very dated and not at all pleasing to look at. One more wonderful thing to add though...the rabbits who came out to nibble on the grass every morning and we had so much enjoyment out of watching them while drinking coffee. I just think they need to do more landscaping to update this condo unit and make this more pleasurable to be there. All in all...it was what we expected.

Quiet Piece of Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 resort was exactly what we were looking for. It is quiet, simple but adequate with amenities and in an excellent location on LBK. Quick drive in either direction to access restaurants and shops. Short drive also to neighboring islands of Lido Key and Anna Maria Island. Complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels a huge bonus. We came during off season in August, and there were hardly any other people on the beach at any given time. It felt like we had a beautiful private beach. We had a first floor unit with nice private outdoor patio. Just a few steps out your door and you are directly on the sand. What more could you ask for? Would absolutely return to this condo again!

Anniversary get away

We have been coming down to Longboat Key for years with family but since it was just the two of us we didn’t need a bigger place, so my wife found The Beach on VRBO and we remember seeing The Beach as sometimes we have stayed next door. But it had a studio unit! Perfect! We loved the property! nicely maintained right on the beach and it is clean and small enough without being overcrowded! Great stay

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed at The Beach multiple times over the past 20 years and always loved it—the small size of the resort and its simplicity, the closeness to Gulf and pool, being able to just step out onto our private patio. However, it has been 8 years since we were here last—and since then it has become rundown. Rusted-out dish washer, shabby pillows and bedding, poor glassware (including just 1 wine glass in the cabinet, busted and stained and filthy patio and beach chairs, mismatched and broken beach umbrella components, etc. etc. etc. The price of the accommodation was way too high given the current state. I am truly sorry to have to say this, but we will not come back—we could have saved $1000 had we booked at the resort next door, and for a refurbished efficiency at that. And the next time we vacation in the area we will be doing so.
