About this rental
Magnificent Condo directly on the Gulf of Mexico! Right on the beach! Every sunset is unique and beautiful!
No need to fight any traffic or an overcrowded public beach. Beautiful view of the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It is very private and peaceful. The ideal spot for a relaxing getaway and memorable sunsets. This third story condo was just purchased in December 2021 and completely refurnished and updated. Only 2 people have stayed in this condo other than the owners.
The oversized balcony runs across the entire condo providing Gulf views from the main living, dining, kitchen and bedroom. 2 very comfortable cushioned swivel chairs among the 4 very comfortable cushioned chairs and end tables on the balcony. Perfect for relaxing with your coffee in the morning and your drink at sunset. The bedroom has a New King Beautyrest Harmony Lux Carbon Mattress, dresser, 2 nightstands, large walk in closet, and large sink/vanity area. Bathroom has walk in shower. Linens and towels provided. 24" high very comfortable Aerobed for additional guests - sleeps more comfortably than my previous Sleep Number Bed. Good height for stepping right out of bed.
65" TV in living room and a 50" TV in the bedroom. Cable TV and Wireless Internet are included.
Washer and dryer are inside this condo, an upgrade you will appreciate so you do not have to wait for availability in the community laundry.
The entire condo opens to the private balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. You can hang out on the balcony or go to the patio or beach to lounge, eat or sunbath. This truly is a magnificent place to kick your feet up and soak in the beauty of Longboat Key, the Florida Sunshine and the Gulf of Mexico.
This condo has everything you need to indulge in the Beach life on Beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Morning walks, afternoon swims, shell hunting ending with a nightly sunset without ever leaving or driving anywhere. Even though you don't have to leave there are plenty of things to do nearby.
This HOA only allows 2 rentals a year and for no less than 60 days. No worry about new neighbors or lots of change over on the weekends or people there for a short amount of time cranking music and partying all hours. At night, you can hear the waves, not your neighbor's music. This is a quiet building that is close to everything!

About the host: We purchased this Condo in December 2021. They do not allow pets and we have 2 small dogs currently, so we plan to live there in the future as we are planning to live in the unit full time in retirement.
In the meantime, we purchased all new furnishings and are renting out the unit.
Why this property? The views from this Condo are amazing!!!
The building is extremely well cared for and with only 2 rentals allowed per year, it has a very residential feel and not a hotel feel.
Longboat Key is a very safe area and we do not foresee that changing in the future.
