Comfortable beach house with a great pool

Property was as pictured: roomy, clean; beds very comfortable; bathroom shower great. We’ve previously rented homes with private pools in Longboat but the pool at this house was the best by far. We had warmer than usual weather while we were there so the solar heating really made the pool enjoyable every day. There were plenty of dishes; glassware and various utensils, including a zester and chopsticks. The house is well equipped with beach chairs, umbrella, pool floats and a beach cart. While we didn’t use them, there also were bikes and some fishing gear as well. The garage was clean and organized. We had no problem parking 2 cars (a van and a SUV) in the driveway. Alise was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions I had. She checked in with us halfway thru our stay just to make sure all was good. On several days, a blue heron visited us at the dock and by the pool and hung out with us for quite a while. The location of the house was perfect and within walking distance to Harry’s Deli and restaurant; Lazy Lobster; Joan Durante Park and our favorite pizza place, Solorzanos. We definitely would consider renting here again in the future.

wonderful location

We stayed in Alise's home for a full month and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. House is located on a lovely, quiet street.The kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans, serving dishes, wine glasses, etc... so we cooked in most of the time due to the scheduled of our 9 month and 3 year old grandchildren. The house was spacious, with a large garage, a beach wagon (definitely came in handy), loads of beach toys and even fishing rods and a tackle box. My son and I caught several fish from the dock (backyard) on the canal. It was so very pleasant sitting on the dock in the early evening since there was always a pleasant breeze. There were plenty of bath towels, sheets and beach towels on hand. The pool was solar heated so it took a little time to warm up due to a cold spell. When it was warm enough to swim in it was a "gift" to have! The best part of the visit was the close location to the beach; an easy walk across one narrow road. If you do wish to eat out there is a wonderful selection of restaurants close to Alise's home. Alise was always available whenever we had a question. Overall, no complaints about the house or the location.

About the host

Hosted by LRA

I grew up in Sarasota and always loved the beach and island life as well as all the cultural venues Sarasota is known for. I left Florida for university and professional reasons, however, always knowing that I would return to the area at a different phase in my life. I'm now married with 3 children, and Longboat Key provides exactly what we seek which is the serenity and tranquility of a beach life yet conveniently located to all the outdoor activities which we seek for as well as being a hop away to all that Sarasota has to offer. We hope to provide a place that would embrace love, tranquility, contentment, and good will to those who visit our home.

Why they chose this property

I felt very fortunate to have found this lovely property in July 2012 as a vacation house to share with my husband, 3 children, and our family pet. We're looking to retire in the area, and the house was perfect for our needs. The private beach access is now rare in Longboat Key. The house is on a quiet street and away from the noise, and its close proximity to Anna Marie island and Sarasota is a main reason why we chose this particular home.

What makes this property unique

Private beach access to one of the most beautiful beach and magnificent sunsets; Pet and family family; Quiet street yet within walking distance to stores/restaurants/shops; Close proximity to Sarasota and Anna Marie Island; Open floor plan; Dock for boats; Private pool; Regular pool/landscape/pest control services; Fully equip with modern conveniences for a home away from home; Everything is provided including all beach equipment/toys/cart/towels/chairs/umbrella/tent, board games, washer/dryer/vacumn cleaner, 3 bikes, 2 scooters, books, DVDs, and much much more.
