Beachside Bungalow on Longboat Key

Slice of Beach Paradise - Immaculate and beautifully restored 1950's trailer

I rented this adorable beach tiny house for 2 years during the season. Dec 2022-Apr 2023 & Nov 2023-Apr 2024. I cannot say enough about the house, location, community and the landlord. 2 Bed, 2 BA (1 ba is just outside the back door in the bath house). Kitchen has a gas stove, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, double sink, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker. There is also a gas grill just outside in the covered car port that has both regular and turbo settings. There is a full size stacked washer and dryer in the bath house. There is a breakfast nook off the kitchen with a table that has a fold down feature for maximum space saving. Main house bath has a shower/tub combo with great water pressure. Bath house has a stand up shower stall. Family room is tastefully decorated with clean, comfortable furniture. There is a full size couch that pulls out to a queen bed. Although I never slept on the bed, the couch is very comfortable. Family room also has a smart TV. The best feature of the family room is the wall of windows that faces main street and glimpses the beach across the street. The bedrooms both have adjustable Queen size beds. Mattresses were very comfortable and all bedding provided. The master has enormous closets and a small office space with desk & chair, allowing for quiet from the rest of the house. The guest room has a dresser and a standing closet. The entire house has mini splits for heating or cooling and allows for each room to be set to it's own temperature. Location - this house is set in the middle of Longboat Key Island, just off the coast of Bradenton (north) and Sarasota (south). Less than 100 steps to the beach - just across the Gulf of Mexico drive - to your private beach access. Beach chairs provided in tiki hut.Twin Shores Community - there is a club house with full kitchen facilities, heated pool, and a marina. 55+ community of friendly, fun people happy to share their hidden gem. Games, movies, dinners, etc. something every night happening here. Landlord - John is the best landlord around. He keeps the beach house immaculately clean, great communication, immediately addresses any concerns you have. He lives nearby and has worked in the construction and real estate biz for years. You will not have to worry about anything but enjoying and relaxing by the beach. I can't say enough about this place. Only not renting here again because I decided to buy a property in the Twin Shores Community.
