Nice Cottage, close to the beach, quiet. Easy check in and check out!

We enjoyed our stay in quiet Long Beach village. Five minute walk to a great breakfast Cafe. Ten minute walk to the beautiful gulf beach. Two minutes to fine dining at Mar Vista. The pull out sofa was fine for our college age daughter. The full-size bed was a little small for her parents but we slept fine. We will recommend it to our friends and family.

The location of this little cottage can't be beat - the dock and the beach are both a few blocks away. Great getaway, just be prepared that there are 3 cottages that share an outdoor space. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves for most of the time, but when others arrived it did get a little noisy because the windows are thin and the property's grounds are covered in beautiful (but noisy) crushed shells. Normally it wouldn't matter but since our young daughter was with us, she woke up a few times when people were out and about after hours. This did not impact what was otherwise a relaxing trip, just wanted to raise it in case others are looking for isolation!

Perfect location with easy beach access. Easy check in.

Great location ! Not far from everything you want or need.

The location is beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. Everything you could possibly want within reasonable distance (3 1/2 blocks to a pristine beach - 2 blocks for a wonderful restaurant by the boat docks - right over the lift bridge are several public beaches and parks - lots of restaurants and full service grocery stores within 2 miles). The cabins are very clean and well stocked, and cleaning staff is very friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. Because of the timing of our trip and incoming Hurricane Irma, we had to leave a day early. My kids live in Tampa, my husband's nephews and his sister live in Miami, so all met up at the cabin with the intention that we would all leave together. I called our host, Nancy, and explained that we would have a few additional folks for a couple of days, and she, without hesitation, offered to open one of the other cabins to accommodate all with no strings attached or additional charges. I am very grateful, and we left with my whole brood. All are safe and in my home in TN now until power is restored and flooding subsides. I highly recommend this listing and look forward to a return trip in the near future.

She was very responsive to my emails, which was greatly appreciated.

Everything was perfect. We stay at a lot of (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) properties, this was our first airbnb experience. It was clean, comfortable, stylish and expertly stocked. My only hope is that it is available when we visit again.

It's a great place, calm! I totally recommend it! Hope to go back!

The “beach house” was amazing! The place was gorgeous, with beautiful blue walls and great well thought-out decor. I would stay here again every year if I could. The owners need to raise the price of the rental because I don’t think there is anything comparable, at least for a short term rental. The beach DIRECTLY at your back door is beautiful and the provided loungers are very convenient. Thanks again!

This is a wonderfully relaxing stay! Betsy and Bob are great hosts, available if needed but never intruding while doing what needs to be done to keep the property a little spot of paradise. The canal to kayak is just steps from the door. We hope to enjoy another trip sometime.

Betsy & Bob are wonderful hosts and their home is in walking distance to a beautiful beach. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation, plus celebrate our anniversary! There are beautiful fruit trees on the property and Betsy supplied us with delicious fresh Mangoes! Thank you so much for a wonderful time! We will see you again! Ronnie & Lou

Betsy & Bob and terrific host. The property was accurately described and very easy to locate. It was an easy walk to the beautiful uncrowded beach. We enjoyed the outdoor space and ate almost all of our meals on the dock overlooking the canal. Best of all was the genuine hospitality of Betsy & Bob. They are so friendly and kind. Upon our arrive we encountered one maintenance issue and it was immediately fixed. They are very attentive to the needs of their guests. I would highly recommend staying here.

This lovely apartment is perfect for a laid-back couple looking for a vacation place that's quiet and simple. Fantastic value compared to local hotels. Bedroom is on the small side but the bathroom, dining, and living areas are spacious and have everything you could need, including plenty of bathtowels, which are often lacking at other rentals. The kitchen was generously stocked with coffee, wine, and beer but the best part of our stay was the fresh fruit smoothies that Betsy made from scratch! The backyard has a lovely island feel with tropical fruits (pineapples and bananas) and flowers, though unfortunately the late-summer weather was a bit too hot and muggy for us to enjoy the charming dock and firepit. Our hosts were friendly and available yet respectful about our privacy. My husband and I absolutely expect to stay here again on our next visit to Longboat Key.

Great location, short walk to a nice, quiet beach and short drive to any other place you would like to visit. Great hosts, Betsy and Bob!!! Would definitely stay there again...

One of the best airbnb experiences we've had! First off, we love Longboat Key. It has everything Florida has to offer without the high-rise condos, neon lights, and other tourist traps typically found at Florida beach towns. The beaches are quiet and private, even on holiday weekends. There is great kayaking and boating, and everything else you need for a good vacation. Bob and Besty's garage apartment is a wonderful way to experience all that Longboat Key has to offer. It is quaint and cozy, without being crowded. There is everything you need, from beach equipment, a well-equipped kitchenette, extra toiletries and towels, comfortable couch, large screen TV with cable and internet (that actually works), and even a two-person kayak with direct access to the water. It is perfect. And even though there is not a stove/over, we were able to prepare a delicious meal on the gas grill. And Bob and Betsy win the hospitality award. We were welcomed with a very good bottle of red wine, beer and white wine in the mini-fridge, and chocolate! Betsy even made us some of her award winning fresh fruit smoothies made from fruit from her garden. Bob and Betsy are pleasant to talk to, and even though they live right above the apartment, they were extremely respectful of our privacy. We really felt like we had the whole property to ourselves for most of our stay. Oh, and Bob kept my husband supplied with local craft beers. Needless to say, he was a happy camper. We had a great time, and will definitely be coming back!

Everything about Betsy and Bobs was wonderful. We could not have asked for more accommodating hosts!! If you're in need of a laid back vacation spot this is it. From the dock out your patio door to the 5 minute walk to the beach, it was just what we needed!!

This place is a lower unit in a house on a canal lot... the place is very quiet and peaceful the upper unit is owner occupied by Betsy and Bob... both very helpful and eager to make sure you enjoy your stay... extras like a kayak and bikes where on site and offered which was great... beach stuff etc etc... Betsy and Bob are great and the property while its nothing fancy is very clean and confortable well furnished and Long boat Key is an awesome area to hang in... not to far from public beaches and from great shops and rentals... be sure to checkout the Mote Aquarium

I loved staying here! The location is perfect. You're right across from Bradenton Beach and next to tons of restaurants. The place includes lots of things that you'll need, and it saves you time and money. For instance, the place includes beach umbrellas, mats, cart, and towels- everything you need for staying out on the beach including umbrellas for the thunderstorms! The internet is funky, but that is consistent with the island, so you might want to bring DVDs rather than depend on Netflix. The area felt safe too. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to buy the spices you will need or bring some for recipes. You'll also need to supply your own laundry detergent and quarters for the machines. I am very pleased with my stay

This place was within walking distance to the beach, night life, restaurants and shops. Very clean and decorated cute. We will definitely use Randy again.

A plus

Great place, very nice and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay on Longboat Key. The apartment is beautiful, with lovely views over Sarasota Bay. The complex is immaculately maintained, with a nicely positioned pool and tub. There was a good choice of retaurants within a short drive, as well as a Publix supermarket. We would definitely stay there again!

This was a last minute replacement that we were lucky to get after a different airbnb property canceled us at the last minute. Will and Faiths place was great, exactly as described, clean, modern, and quiet, with all the amenities you would want. Heated pool, fishing off the docks, and a short walk to the Gulf Beeches. We're hoping to come back.

We had a wonderful time - the condo was nicer than the pictures show. It was very clean with everything we needed. The property is well kept and maintained. Our host took very good care of us but we really didn't need anything as the property was in great shape. The pool on the property was very nice and we enjoyed the peaceful quiet of the location. We would go back again!!

We enjoyed everything about our stay at Harbour Villa Club. The condo and location were perfect for our family getaway. The kids loved the pool, too!

Great 2x bedroom apartment, Extremely spacious and freshly furnished, with all the mod cons you would have at home. Magnificent views over Sarasota Bay, well kept common area's. Pool, BBQ, spa etc - a bonus was the private mooring very handy for when we rented a boat from the nearby Canons Marina Our host, Will was there to greet us arrival and arranged crib/cot for our stay. Would definitely stay again

Both Will and Faith were so welcoming upon our arrival...our condo couldn't have been nicer. It was bright and breezy and the balcony was the perfect place to start your day with a cup of coffee and end with a glass of wine...the view was just perfection. We had everything we needed - kitchen supplies, plenty of towels and space for everything. We spent the majority of the day by the (heated) pool that sparkled like diamonds with a view of the bay and the dock with the boats nestled in their respective slips. My husband LOVES to fish and spent a great deal of time catching many different species. We were celebrating our anniversary and cannot think of any other experience that could top this.

A tremendous amount of thought and care went in to creating this zen like environment. Our hosts were warm, caring and extremely generous. They had a house party the day after our arrival and we were invited. It was a lovely event, We had a busy few days and unfortunately did not spend enough time in the lovely pool and garden areas. We look forward to returning to this little corner of paradise again.......

We loved our stay here! Nice neighborhood, totally private entrance, appears recently upgraded with a luxurious feel. Close to the beach (driving). Extremely clean and hosts checked in with us initially and midway through our stay to be sure everything was great. We hope to stay here again and will recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Dee's place was truly a hidden paradise. Everything from the jungle feel by the pool to the beautiful decor inside was on point. Her place was clean and had everything we would need for our time there including a cheese plate, water, and extra coffee and teas. Although we did not meet, I was in constant touch with Dee through text. She even gave me a couple of ideas of things to do, which I appreciated. Dee was a wonderful host and I look forward to staying here again next time I come to visit!

Small but cute

Perfect, charming and clean space with everything we needed for our stay! Would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

Dee's Hidden Paradise provided the space, location and price as promised. The place was appointed with all the necessities in the best ways, the gardens lush and the host open, available and in constant communication. I didn't use the pool are lanai areas and time did not allow. The cottage was adorable! I have made a new friend in Dee, we are already planning a get together when I return to Bradenton as a homeowner. Thank you ever so much Dee and Jim.

With everything that Jim has been through, he still managed to be a wonderful and caring host. Whenever I had a question, he responded promptly and had a solution. The cottage was fantastic and we enjoyed using the NuWave burner on the first night of our stay, along with the plentiful supply of plates and utensils. We even used the cocktail mixer a few times for a couple of "on-the-go" beach drinks. ;p There was plenty of outdoor seating, too, if you wanted to enjoy your meal outside. The pool was beautiful and we took a late-night dip the first night where we were greeted by one of the fur babies, who had then quickly dashed back inside once spotted. Haha! What is truly convenient about this location is the seclusion and privacy, as well as the central closeness to everything. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and excellent beaches to choose from. On the day of our departure, we were able to finally and truly meet him and his wife's fur babies, Zsa Zsa and Ava. They were absolutely precious. It was a bittersweet departure, but I sure do hope we stay in touch with Jim and are able to see him soon! He is an awesome man, and without a doubt, I know Dee was and still is a phenomenal woman! We just wish we had had the honor of meeting her sooner. God Bless!

This place was perfect for our stay in Bradenton.... Our first ABB experience ~ just right!!

Martha's place is fantastic! Great location offering amenities such as a pool and tennis courts. Condo is accurately depicted in photos. Master bed is SUPER comfortable! Plenty of linens, etc. Nicely stocked kitchen. Close proximity to restaurants, shopping, etc. We will definitely consider Martha's place for our future travels to this area!

Très propre et calme. Bien situé et hôtes très sympathiques!

This was my first airbnb experience and I'm sold. Heather was helpful and greeted me at the door. She was available if need be, but it felt more like I lived in the house! The room I was in was not lavishly appointed but that is not what I need. I needed some fridge space, a bed, A/C, closet, fan, courteous hosts, internet and the computer provided cause I forgot mine, a parking spot, a dock at the end of a canal where i could sit and read a book. Mission accomplished.

Heather is a welcoming and friendly host. She keeps a clean house, is quiet and respectful of her guests' personal space. She has a nice relaxing view on the water and three nice The guest room was clean and the bed comfortable. I got a great night's sleep. She provides coffee and tea to her guests and invites them to store food in the fridge. I also had a nice time spending a Saturday night in getting to know Heather and a friend of hers. Great people and great place to stay!

We were looking for something on short notice in the Sarasota area and Heather responded very quickly. She arranged that we can stay the same day of the inquiry and found the place as described. The area around the house is very green and calm and you are only a 20$ cab ride from downtown Sarasota.

We felt very welcome and Heather was extremely helpful with directions, suggesting places to go and not to go to. The house was very clean and the bed amazingly comfortable. The kitchen and main room with TV was roomy, but what we enjoyed most was relaxing outside in the lanai with the view of the canal. Thank you for hosting us Heather.

Heather and her boyfriend are very easy going and sweet people! It was a pleasure to stay at there place with them. The house was beautiful and clean and felt very confortable immediately. I highly recommend this place :)

Came very late at night and left really early in the morning. Did not have time to meet with Header but everything was well planned so I could get in and out. The room is nice and cozy.

Wir haben Heather leider nicht kennengelernt, aber die Schlüsselübergabe lief problemlos und sehr gut ab. Das Zimmer ist schön und sauber und das private Badezimmer ist riesig! Ihre Katzen sind super süß, am liebsten hätten wir sie mitgenommen :)!

Cornelia was so wonderful to work with. Just a few days before my family and I were due to arrive, Hurricane Irma hit and she was INCREDIBLY accommodating throughout the entire process. We ultimately ended up canceling, and Cornelia refunded us and communicated back and forth so quickly! We fully intend to vacation at this spot sometime in the near future and hope to meet Cornelia in person!

We had a great stay at this house with the family and small children. Very family friendly house and good location close to the beach and downtown Bradenton. I would recommend!

The house was very clean. It was located in a good place , it was quiet and peaceful. Love the blue light outside to help find your way back to the place in the dark. Check in was.. communication was easy. Love the house.

Cornelia is a gracious and attentive hostess. Her home is clean, and tastefully decorated. The mastered room is spacious and my kids loved a room decorated just for them! This home is close to everything in Bradenton. The next time we're in Bradenton we will rent the house with the red door!

This house was beautiful and convenient. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay!

Super clean and we enjoyed our stay. We will be back to stay here on our next trip. We felt right at home!

We enjoyed our stay and Cornelia is a quick great host.

To be honest I went back and forth in looking at options in the Bradenton area between Cornelia's place and other rooms since I was travelling singly. I'm so glad I finally opted for Cornelia's house. It says "home" the moment you walk in the front door if not before. It's wonderfully casual, comfortable, and relaxing. And it definitely lived up to if not exceeded the photos. It's plenty spacious for a family let alone just one guest, with two bedrooms, two baths, a spacious kitchen and living room, a covered back porch and a deck. Like the listing says, the yard is considerably sizable! It offers a fair measure of privacy too, if you'd like to sit outside for conversation, or like me with a coffee and a book. Speaking of coffee, here's an illustration of how Cornelia is tops when it comes to being a gracious, helpful, easy to work with host. When I asked if there wasn't a coffee maker or if I'd overlooked it hiding in a cabinet somewhere, she noted there wasn't one and promptly bought one and delivered it that same night - with coffee and creamers too. What top notch service! Check in and check out are super simple and hassle-free. Cornelia communicates readily and quickly, and responds to any questions. She offered several suggestions of things to do around Bradenton that I wouldn't have otherwise been aware of. The only small drawback that I can think of is that the house is located on a fairly busy through street so you do get a bit of traffic noise. It's more noticeable outside of course but you get used to it pretty quickly. Since I'm from a comparable city environment it felt like home to me. As far as location, it's convenient to all that the area has to offer - Anna Maria Island (and other) beaches, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, etc. I was at the Tampa airport in a little more than an hour and that was with some traffic delays. All in all, I can't recommend Cornelia's place more highly for singles, couples or families. Do it - you'll be glad you did!

Wonderful property. Enjoyed our stay tremendously. Will recommend to family and friends. Private enclave with restaurants and shopping in driving distance. Excellent communications with the host. Highly recommended.

When we arrived at the property we were so excited by the location. You are right on beautiful Longboat Key beach. The private balcony offers amazing views and is large enough to accommodate several different seating arrangements. We could not have been more pleased with our stay and Christopher's.

Great location in relation to the beach.

Debra and Tom are wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay go perfect! So very accommodating and friendly making us feel right at home. Although small, this beautiful bungalow has everything you need in a beautiful location. We could catch the free trolley one block away or walk 1/2 mile or so to nearby restaurants. Beach access is right across the street for swimming and sunsets! We definitely want to come back!

A lovely base for our stay. Perfect location and the house had everything we needed. Lovely bathroom with lots of fluffy towels made cleaning up after the beach a pleasure. We'll be back!

We absolutely loved the unit we stayed in, and Debra was a great host! She was very helpful when needed but didn't hover, either. The house is adorable and matches the very quaint feeling Anna Maria Island offers in general. We stayed in unit 2 with the screened-in front porch. That was perfect for relaxing when it rained and I loved reading in the swing. The unit was updated beautifully and felt so homey -- the perfect place to come back and relax after the beach or shopping. (We loved Sand Dollar on the north side of the island for cute gifts.) The shower was phenomenal! The shower head pours straight downward directly from the ceiling, which provides a really cool waterfall sensation. I could stay in there all day! The beach was very close and so enjoyable. The entrance is right across the street from the house and so easy to get to. That part of the beach wasn't crowded at all and was just right for us. Our unit faces Gulf Drive, so there is some road noise during the day, but things quiet down almost completely in the evening, and the sounds of the frogs outside were a wonderful lullaby. The hot tub just outside in the courtyard was wonderful for relaxing in the evenings. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. Debra is fantastic and has done a great job making her property a perfect getaway!

Las Palmas Unit: great quality in every way; clean & well equipped; lovely grounds, easy parkin(URL HIDDEN)Location: beautiful beach within steps from door; amazing sunsets every night; close to great restaurants and shopping and free trolley stop just down the stree(URL HIDDEN)Hosts: Attentive, quick to respond and full of great suggestions. Thanks Debra & Thom. We can't wait to return!

The photos don't do this place justice. It's very well appointed, clean and the jacuzzi was great! We have stayed at many places on Anna Maria and the beach is as close as you can get without being on the beach.

Debra made sure everything was set in such short notice of booking. Loved the quick response. The home is perfect, steps away from the beach, cozy and warm. It was great for our weekend getaway. Definitely, would stay here again.

Fantastic location- lively enough to get dinner a mile away but cozy and cute and right next to the beach. Easy drive to mote marine and Sarasota. AC is super cold! Bottom bunk is a little small for adults to share, master bedroom cozy. Lots of extras that are not highlighted in pictures- hot tub, laundry, interesting decorations and great shower, screened in patio. We want to go back!

Our experience was outstanding. The unit offered beautiful views of the gulf. The accommodations themselves were spacious, well-appointed and very clean. Photographs represent the unit very well. The host was very communicative and responsive. He offered excellent suggestions to make the most of our stay. They were also very flexible given our midnight arrival ... and everything went smoothly. Looking forward to the opportunity of once again staying here in the future!

John was available to questions and replied very quickly, and as a new Airbnb renter this was very comforting. Photos of property were accurate, our guests were very happy with this beautiful house! The layout offered privacy for multi family living!! Best block on Longboat Key, one of the best deli's, breakfast/brunch spots and convenient stores all steps away!! i would suggest this rental to friends or families getting away! Thanks for an awesome stay!

The house was perfect and good location very clean and confortable . John was nice host he responded to my messages very fast . I recommend .

The place was very clean. The living area was spacious. The location was close to restaurants and to the beach. The host responded quickly to all queries. I wouldn't hesitate in renting this home again.

Perfect location and place for our family vacation! So close to everything! We loved the fact that it was so close to a park to watch the sunrise and so close to the beach for the sunset. We were so sad to leave!

Great place for a quiet beach trip! Quick walk to the beach, host very good with communication and house super comfortable.

We loved our weekend at Longboat Key. Short drive to great restaurants and very short walk right to the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and house is very spacious and clean. We will definitely be planning a trip back.

Ideal for family stay within walking distance of beach, shop and restaurant. Decor a little dated but accommodation was clean and great value for money. John was very responsive to an issue with a kitchen item.Would visit again.

Hermosa casa, muy cómoda, perfectamente equipada para pasar unas excelentes vacaciones, super cerca de la playa. Lo disfrutamos mucho!!
