Very clean and spacious rooms with top of the line appliances. Pool is small but right outside our suite. Suite 101 can easily accommodate at least four adults. We had two pull out queen beds and a seperate king bed. Each in a different room. Washer and dryer. Decent coffee (foldgers). Two large, flatscreen televisions with cable. Fast wi-fi (free).... More

We stayed here for four nights between staying in Sanibel and Clearwater Beach. We really enjoyed the accommodation. The patio was poolside and provided for easy access to both the pool and the lovely beach area. The service was excellent; respecting our privacy, but never allowing us to do without. The bed was a murphy bed! It was actually very... More

We recently spent a few days in the "modified" 1 bedroom unit 225. It was clean and the staff treated us good. However, beware: the living area where the couch is, is VERY SMALL (about 10 X 11 feet) because the owner decided to partition off part of what used to be the living room to make a "bedroom". The...

The management and cleaning staff were great; we checked in very early and saw others check in as early as 9 a.m. It is run like a hotel with fresh towels and beds made daily, also daily coffee to brew yourself, dish and laundry soap (this unit has a washer/dryer in it; there is another on site for all to...

It's right on the beach in a quiet part of Longboat Key. The sunset views from the balcony were spectacular. The property is well kept. The only drawback is that the room we had was tiny - a tiny efficiency. It would have been fine for 2. It was cramped for 3. I can't imagine 4 sharing that space. We... More

I really wanted to love The Beach at Longboat Key, but…. It has so much going for it. It is right on the beach and every room has a direct view of the Gulf. It operates like hotel rather than a condo. It was recently totally renovated so everything is in good condition. However, all but three rooms are what... More

We stayed here two times for a week each time. It is located right on the beach. Full kitchen with a Publix just down the road.

Wonderful sunsets. Hotel has been updated and is very nice.Bed is a little firm. They say the room we stayed in could accomodate 4 but it would be a wee bit cramped. Your not within walking distance to restaurants or shops. But overall it is a great place to stay and enjoy the beach.

I am staying in unit 224. The furnishings are of a rather cheap quality, but at least modern. For the price of 200 a night incl. tax, I am sleeping in a murphy bed. Had to move the chairs and table to open it. I don't know how two people of regular size (I am smaller than average) manage to... More

My husband and I stayed at The Beach in unit 227 for a week in May and several other times throughout the past two years. We love this place! We checked out the other one bedrooms and there is no comparison! Unit 227 is so spacious compared to the others. The unit itself is beautiful! It is on the second... More
