We managed to get a last-minute RCI exchange into the Longboat Bay Club and all we can say is WOW. The photos online do not do justice to the resort. Our unit was on the 2nd floor. It was at least 1500 square feet, 2BR/2BA. Master bath featured a huge garden tub! I understand only a few units have the... More

We purchased an every other year unit at the Longboat Bay Club probably 10 years ago and have enjoyed using the resort. It's got a wonderful location which is near all the places to go for entertainment and great restaurants. It's a quiet resort with very spacious rooms that are much larger than most timeshares and the units while not... More

We have stayed at many Gold Crown Resorts on the beach, but this was by far the best one. It was 1600 sq. ft. and we had a view of the Gulf out the front door and a view of the bay out the back. They even have their own boat docks you can use for free. We brought our... More

We have spent many years at this resort and finally decided that we had to move on to better options. This place is in need of a major overhaul. Although the area is quiet, the pool is maintained adequately and the location is good, the furniture is in need of replacing. The boat docks have not been maintained and have... More

We lucked into finding this gem 4 years ago and have been back every year since. The rooms are terrific; plenty of space, comfortable beds, 3 TVs, large living area, big stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave and the outside balconies are wonderful. The view of the sunset every night from right outside your front door is beautiful. The... More

Probably the most beautifully appointed suite we've ever enjoyed on a vacation. We booked it "free" on points so I really don't know the actual cost. Free bikes w locks, few miles biking to St. Armands circle--a must see in the area. Public access to wonderful, never-ending beach is just across the street.leave extra EXTRA time for vacationers traffic on... More

We bought a one-week timeshare at Longboat Bay Club eight years ago because we wanted a place that'd be easy to trade. After we spent our first week there, we've gone back every year (versus trading it for another vacation location)! Here's what we love: the staff is very friendly and responsive, the location is great -- not too far... More

This was our first visit to this timeshare (Longboat Bay Club) and our second to the Longboat Key area. And can I say just ... WOW! We've been exchanging to timeshares for over 20 years (including 4 trips to Hawaii) and this ranks as our best unit to date. The unit has 2 BR & 2 BA. Lots of closet... More

This is our second visit to this timeshare. There are only 15 units on three flours overlooking Crane's Bay, each with its own assigned garage parking space. It's mostly quiet and peaceful though you can hear road traffic if you sit in the kitchen area. Check in is easy and we've found several good restaurants on the main road just... More
