About this rental

Sunbathing, fishing, and boating right at your backdoor with the beach and pool only a short walk away! BOATERS, you can bring your boat or rent a boat to be available right out your back door. Don’t miss the occasional dolphin family swimming by or all the beautiful birds that create an island experience to remember.
As you step into this beautifully appointed cottage with a kitchen, dining and living room overlooking a water view, you will instantly feel that you have everything you need. The master bedroom is newly designed with a cozy cottage feel and 45-inch smart TV. The full kitchen is ready for you to cook your favorite recipe for an occasional night in. The second bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed which is equally comfortable for adults or kids.
For morning or evening strolls, you have two amazing choices just steps from your front door. You can stroll through the Durante Park mangrove trails overlooking Sarasota Bay or you can head to the beach. This unit has access to a beautiful pool, fitness room and tennis courts. The beach is a short walk away with a private access to a “local’s only” unspoiled white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico, where catching a sunset is a must! In addition, several Longboat Key restaurants and shops are also within walking distance. Many other highly rated restaurants and boutiques are located within a short drive either on Longboat Key, south to St. Armands Circle or north to Bradenton Beach or Anna Maria Island…either way will not disappoint!
We adore our little slice of paradise and are so happy to share it with you.

About the host: Hello! We are Carol and Greg. We have always been passionate about travel, good food, boating and taking time to explore the world. Since our children were young, we took them on our excursions and, as our family grew, we turned toward house rentals for our worldly travel adventures. We greatly appreciated the extra space over a hotel room and a well-equipped kitchen for the occasional at home meal option. Since we live in PA, our friend Gail is our co-host. She lives in Longboat Key and will handle anything that may come up during your stay.
Why this property? We explored both coasts of Florida in search of a little piece of paradise. The day we arrived in Longboat we knew we found the area we had been looking for. Beautiful uncrowded beaches, fantastic restaurants, relaxing bike rides and boating. Greg is in the building industry and I enjoy home design…our projects seem to find us. Little Palm is a work of love created to provide a relaxing retreat for family and friends. The design is simple, modern and welcoming. In our travels, we have realized that the place you stay while visiting a destination can make the experience. Our goal is for you to unpack your bags and be ready for a stress-free and wonderful stay at our property.

Sharon D.Nice trip
I loved my month here. I would never have 5 people though. It is 600 sq. ft and 1 bath. There were two of us and it was fine. Lovely back area on a canal. Very quiet and nice people around. There is a fantastic park right next to it with walking paths around the bay. The beach is a long walk but doable. We drove to Coquina Beach. Many nice restaurants are located in walking distance. Gail was very responsive when we needed her. I would return.

Christin F.Perfect, quaint canal stay
This condo was absolutely my favorite place to stay!! The single story made it feel more like a home. I now actually prefer to stay a little walk away from the beach since it gives an opportunity to get sand off! From this quiet condo, it’s only a 3 minute bike ride to the private beach access which always had white sand, clear water (manatees, dolphins and sea turtles included!!), and hardly anyone sharing the beach. The canal was amazing at night or in the morning with a cup of coffee to hear the fish jump while sitting on the roomy back deck. The condo was equipped with everything we needed to cook in or grill out. The beds were very comfortable. It was decorated very stylish and we loved the wood floor look instead of the typical tile. You can walk to the bay to fish or fish off the dock. Bikes were available and we also joined the nearby tennis club to have the pool and gym. Longboat Key is our new favorite place and we can’t wait to come back!
