Peaceful Gulf-Front Condo! Longboat Key 2 BR

Description from the owner

ENJOY this beautiful gulf front condominium located in The Cabana Beach Club of charming Longboat Key, just north of Sarasota. Longboat Key is a quiet, lushly landscaped barrier island with no neon or fast food restaurants. It is considered to be one of the Gulf Coast's most beautiful and desirable communities. The condo complex sits on a beautiful Gulf beach with beautifully landscaped grounds conveying a casual but elegant sensibility. It is a small, 11 unit complex without high rise giants nearby. The unit is only steps from the quiet, uncrowded beach. The perfect beach front position of the unit brings the gulf view and atmoshpere into th...e condo as well. Grassy dunes roll over powdery white sand, leading to aquamarine surf...at times you feel as though you're on your own private beach. Beautiful sunsets often close out the day, and provide a perfect background for an evening beach walk.

Our immaculate unit overlooks the water, and boasts new furniture, appliances and accessories. It is well-stocked with just about everything you could need in the kitchen. We've added all the amenities we always wished were provided when we rented condos, including a large notebook filled with local information. The unit is designed with front and rear entries. A very substantial door separates the back bedroom and bath from the front bedroom, bath and living area. This is ideal for couples who might be sharing the unit, or for families with children as it provides

increased privacy and quiet in the back bedroom area. Finally, you may appreciate the heated pool, and a charming patio area, surrounded by flowering bushes and native plantings. A gas grill is available for your use just outside our unit. A covered area with tables and chairs is also provided, should you want a larger area for entertaining under shelter.

Days can be spent discovering all the area has to offer, or simply beachcombing for shells, watching dolphins gracefully break the waves as they pass by. The warm, gentle Gulf waters make wading and swimming truly enjoyable. Picture yourself sitting on the white sand beach with family and friends, as the sun drops below the fiery horizon. Everyone should hold the memory of at least one spectacular Gulf of Mexico sunset in their hearts.

These are lovely accommodations, set in pristine tropical surroundings, where you can mix diverse activities with utter relaxation. Our condominium is designed for the beach lover in your soul. Come to Paradise.Read more

Additional Location Information

Longboat Key is an incredibly relaxed and a quiet environment with few highrises and a couple shopping centers. The Condo is a few miles from Bradenton beach, a popular beach area, and offers a secluded yet accessible location. Grocery Stores and restaurants are located on the gulf. More bars and restaurants are available a short drive away either in Bradenton or Sarasota. No matter what you may need, you will not find yourself far from it at Cabana Beach.

The area offers varied activities for "days off" from the beach including: bike rentals, Mote Acquarium (one of our favorites); high end shopping on St. Armand's Circle, the Pelican Sanctuary; the Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater, and many other cultural venues in nearby Sarasota. For those wanting to stay fit, a paved walking/biking/ jogging path set back from the road runs the length of Longboat Key, passing in front of our complex. There are also free, beautifully maintained public tennis courts overlooking the Bay nearby. The Central Gulf Coast area is also known for its many golf courses, with an estimated 79 courses in the vicinity.

  Fabulous family vacation

  Left on 01/11/2013 for a stay in January 2013
  
  

  My family (Mother, husband, 2 teenage children) stayed in unit 118 of this condo for a week. The unit is fabulous, well stocked and right on the beach - gorgeous views all day and the sunset over the ocean. We even spotted wales and saw them spouting and diving from the condo. The unit was very well stocked with kitchenware and dinnerware (we enjoy cooking) and family board games. In this season it is too cold to swim in the Gulf of Mexico, but there is a wonderful heated pool where we swam daily. The beaches are pristine and the kids and I really enjoyed hunting for shells. The staffare so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The office always has snacks and you can borrow tennis raquets (there is a tennis court) and Dvds from the office, When we brought back a DVD to the office, unwathable because it was scratched they bought a new one the next day!
  Highly recommend this property, works fabulously for a family vacation, but would also be a very romantic getaway.

  Incredible condo

  Left on 11/25/2012 for a stay in August 2012
  
  

  Stayed here for a week back in august 2012. My husband and I travel frequently to various beach destinations and this was easily one of the nicest condos and most beautiful beach destinations. Condo sits on a private beach with white powdery sand. Condo was very spacious, with two bedrooms and a large living room area. Owners stocked kitchen so we had everything we needed.
  
  Had a small hiccup during checkup but the owner was really responsive and kind. Overall, had an incredible time- highly recommend this place, and longboat key in general.

  Terriffic Gulfront Condo

  Left on 06/21/2012 for a stay in May 2012
  
  

  My wife and I stayed her for 2 nites on Memeorial Day weekend. Beautifull location. Everything is provided. Just stop at the grocery store and buy some food and drinks. Thats all you need. To be just 200 feet from one of the most beautifull beachs in the USa is Fantastic. The pool is nice when you want to take a break from the gulf. Very family oriented, not wild and crazy. Very well maintained, and staff is very friendly. We will come back again.
  Shops and resturants are right down the road. Very relaxing and refreshing !
