The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great winter on Longboat Key in regards to the weather. Only a few cool days in early January but pleasant for the remainder of our stay. 89 days. Unfortunately, along with the nice weather came the "Red Tide".Not only were we physically bothered (coughing) by the tide, the fish kill was the worst I have ever seen. At the height of the kill, we had one of the highest (high) tides in recent memory which scattered the dead fish all the way to the dunes.If the county would have come out with their cleaning equipment shortly thereafter, the smell of rotting fish would not have been the #1 topic of the residents of Whitney Beach. Since they didn't come until much later, the beach was almost vacant for 10-14 days. County government should be ashamed of themselves. ##### Dennis L. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn On The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sebring-Hotels-Inn-On-The-Lakes.h2717560.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Grand Key - Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Grand-Key-Key-West.h470834.Hotel-Information) > > [New tiny house available in the country on a 5 acre motocross track MX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myakka-City-Hotels-New-Tiny-House-Available-In-The-Country-On-A-5-Acre-Motocross-Track-MX.h35668895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Key Largo Manatee Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Key-Largo-Manatee-Bay.h5731.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Pointe Suites at Key Largo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Ocean-Pointe-Suites-At-Key-Largo.h5502.Hotel-Information) > > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning 6 Bedroom Villa on Solterra Resort - pool overlooking conservation area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Stunning-6-Bedroom-Villa-In-Solterra-Resort-Lazy-River-Now-Open.h25169903.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantic Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Atlantic-Bay-Resort.h2841625.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Cocoa-Beach.h1210926.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Rod And Gun Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Rod-And-Gun-Club.h13279263.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Lake House on Cowpen Lake w/Private Fishing Pond Boat Rental Available](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gainesville-Hotels-Beautiful-Lakehouse-With-Private-Fishing-Pond-On-Cowpen-Lake.h42437865.Hotel-Information) > > [Streamline Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Streamline-Hotel.h17491689.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [Dockside Inn & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Dockside-Inn-Resort.h1837964.Hotel-Information) > > [Tortuga Inn Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Tortuga-Inn-Beach-Resort.h1054101.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information)
