Long weekend vacations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time visiting Longboat, hopefully more to come. We love the location and the apartment we stayed was well equipped with kitchen utensils, appliances and bed were decent.The only concern we had, BTW the staff solved it in a blink of and eye, was the AC duct dirty and my daughter had a very bad rash since she is allergic. As I said the staff solve the issue and we enjoyed the rest of our stay and will definitely back soon.

Unit 9 Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our second year her was a great family vacation. We rented units 1,2, and 9. The Change in bedding configuration from when we reserved to what we found when we arrived in unit 1 was challenging. Changes from 2 twins to a king was not noted in the web description. Also, we almost got cited by the for alcohol on the beach. LBK alcohol beach policy should be noted in the checkin packet.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental went well. However, there was no sofa bed, as listed. The furniture was not very comfortable for older folks as it was very deep seated and you needed all the pillows to support you.

Lovely accommodations for our group of 6. The proximity to the beach was perfect! We loved having chairs and umbrellas for our use everyday at the beach. There was also boogie boards and other sand rosy to use as well! Also, pool towels were included! Laundry was inside the condo! We will be back!

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property (Unit 9) was a fantastic location. Upon arrival the unit was not at all clean. All kitchen drawers, silverware drawer, cabinets had food crumbs them and cabinets sticky. Bathroom vanities had not been cleaned except the tops. Drawers in cabinet dirty. The dishwasher and dryer were broken. The filter in A/C unit filthy and the lanai filthy. Within 24 hours the unit had been cleaned again, filter replaced and the dishwasher and washer repaired. That is the good part and Sean in the office was very helpful facilitating the repairs but none of this should have been necessary. It is difficult to keep the lanai clean due to the location with wind/dust hitting it directly but it had not been cleaned at all prior to our arrival. The fake plants were loaded with dirt and dust and should be tossed. The beds were very comfortable but only had one bottom sheet which was on the bed. Sean once again helped getting another sheet. This unit needs a huge professional cleaning. We had friends staying at Beach Castle Resort also and their unit was clean and everything working well. The membership at Cedars East was wonderful, the beach at Beach Castle great, and lots of umbrellas and chairs provided which was so nice. If the unit had been clean with everything working this report would be all good. I would not recommend this particular unit but would recommend Beach Castle Resort .
