Longboat Key Life Longboat Key is a quieter gulf-side retreat located between Lido Key and Anna Maria Island along Florida's southwest coast. The barrier island is surrounded by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. The island's eastern shoreline is covered in mangroves with hidden canals and marinas. On the western shoreline, you can walk for miles on the white sandy beaches and swim in the gentle gulf. Imagine spending your days beachcombing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, golfing, or cycling along the island's winding bike path. Longboat Key is known for its abundance of dining options. With the Gulf and Sarasota Bay in its backyard, many restaurants focus on serving local, fresh seafood while visitors enjoy amazing waterfront views. Just south and across the bridge is bustling St. Armand's Circle, a popular destination filled with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and tropical landscaped courtyards. Head north on Longboat Key, cross the Longboat Pass bridge, and find yourself on Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. This area offers gorgeous, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, fun waterfront bars, restaurants and a variety of shops. \*\*IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION\*\* Beach Castle Resort has a new parking pass policy in place.

Reviewer Comments: We occupied 3 separate units in the same building for our trip to Long Boat Key and it was fabulous! All units were clean, comfortable and were everything we needed for our stay. Only thing I would say is to make sure there is dishwasher soap so we could have run it before we left. Along with more than a half roll of toilet paper bc paying $17 for a pack of tp is ridiculous. ##### Jen C.

Reviewer Comments: We just stayed one night but it was perfect for our family of 6\. Super quick short walk across the street to the beach and the convenience of having chairs and umbrellas already on the beach was great . We also took a short drive over to the tennis club and borrowed bikes for a morning bike ride . We already booked to stay longer for another weekend . Only complaint is the condo needs to provide extra linens for sofa bed and a choice of different types of bed pillows . ##### Jodi A.

Reviewer Comments: Very enjoyable...great beach...not much of a view from the lanai but it is surronded by vegetation creating a private environment. It is just a short walk across the street to the private Beach. ##### A guest from Minot, ND ---
