Longboat Key Vacation

Great place to stay, right on the beach. The unit we stayed in was very spacious for me and my wife, very clean, had everything you needed for cooking, spending the day on the beach and we absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back. Great restaurants like The Lazy Lobster, The Dry Dock, Venturas and the coffee place Sips all very close.

Exceeded expectations!

This was a very last-minute plan so little available so grabbed this at the last minute. Lovely accommodations, perfect location and more than we could have hoped for.

Pleasant on-site check-in and check-out experience. Unit 101 was clean and comfortable; the location is great - easy access to the pool and the beach is just a few steps further. The Beach is centrally located on the island - close to the grocery and dining. We'll be back.

The master bedroom is spacious-the king size bed VERY comfortable. Bed in den also very comfortable. 2 baths. 1shower one tub. Living area very nice, very clean, lanai spacious and private with easy access to pool. Kitchen had nice appliances and eat-in area. Easy access onto Gulf of Mexico Drive-lots of restaurants within a short drive-be sure to check out Lazy Lobster and go over bridge to Cortez-Seafood Shack-great food and prices-seafood super fresh. My husband and I would highly recommend The Beach!

Rental unit 101 was as promoted by the RVA site. Walking from the lanai to the pool deck took 5 steps through a dedicated gate. Access to the beautiful beach was a short walk further. This rental had all of the necessities covered. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay. I have never had a staff as helpful and pleasant to work with for a beach vacation as the staff at RVA. The unit was clean, everything worked, it was exactly as represented. Location is wonderful if you want more secluded. If you want to be in the middle of the action,this ain't that. Parking is tight but manageable. I will stay again

Best Family Vacation To Date!

We stay at Longboat every summer. This year we stayed in a condo at “The Beach” on the first floor. The Beach 101 is now our favorite. It’s quiet and secluded on Longboat Key. Easy open parking lot. There is an office on the first floor that handles anything you need from towels and coffee to recommendations on local restaurants. Walk straight out onto the beach or the pool. You can go into Sarasota or Tampa for attractions and shopping. There is plenty to do within quick driving distance and a Publix just down the road. Highly recommend. We have 3 young children and Room 101 was the absolute best. Private pool access, first floor convenience, plenty of room to spread out and live comfortably for long stays. (Oh, and the owner’s personally checked us in and made sure everything was to our liking throughout the stay. Great service!)

Unit location can't be beat - short walk out patio to pool and walkway to beach. And close to Longboat and Sarasota activities. Spacious unit and big kitchen. Easy check in - they have an office onsite. Quick responses from managers.

Steps Away from the Beach

Steps away from the beach. A very well maintained property. Only constructive suggestion is to replace the standard patio tables and chairs with higher ones so you can see over the Sea Oats. Other than that, it was everything we could ask for.
