Castle-in-the-sky Condo home near beach and tennis (#32309)

Write a review Great area and rental for families, plenty of space, comfortable beds, nice linens, well stocked (large) kitchen combined with great room makes for a relaxed setting. The place has everything including including beach/water toys, nice bikes, 2 car garage, grills, crib, high chair, large flat screen TV, DVD, etc. Great pool at facility and the beach is a short walk. A great value for the money! This is a very spacious, nicely decorated, well equipped home. Pool, tennis courts, fitness center and boardwalk on site all make this such a convenient place to stay. The beach is gorgeous! It is a little bit of a walk to public access, or you can cut through other condos across the street (even though you aren't supposed to). The sand is beautiful and the ocean very clean and clear. We found lots of shells and saw some dolphins! The aquarium is close drive and worth it if you have kids. The park is within walking distance and fun for kids, and adults, with nature paths, etc. Restaurant close by was good, although we cooked quite a bit in the well equipped kitchen. Owner is available and helps with anything you may need. Great vacation for our family, thank you! This is the 2nd time we've stayed at this condo for the weekend with a group of friends. There is more than enough room for everyone and it's so nice to have everyone under one roof. The townhouse is immaculately clean and provides ample 'beach gear' for your stay. Just bring food, drinks and clothes and your all set. The location and amenities are awesome. The owner is extremely easy to work with. Will definitely be staying here again. We rented this unit for 5 teenagers and 3 adults (blended family plus grandma). There was lots of space to spread out - made this one of the most relaxing vacations we've been on. Huge kitchen allows you to eat in if desired. Quiet area - not very commercial - great to relax without the distraction of go carts or putt putt on every block, but close enough to find things to do if you want too. Public access to the beach was further than I thought, but we were able to cut through across the street with no problems. Good value! I can't say enough about how pleased we were with this experience. We had never rented online like this before and weren't sure what to expect. It exceeded our expectations! We shared the condo with a second family and it was so spacious! The kitchen, bedrooms, porches, bedrooms, everything was great! The condo was immaculate and stocked with every detail that you might need. The pool and tennis courts were fabulous as well. The best part, was the owner was so easy to communicate with and work with. You know integrity when you deal with it. Highly recommend this condo, hope to rent it again soon!! Enjoyed our stay. Very spacious. Beds were very comfortable. Grandkids loved it. It was very clean and I would stay again. We had a wonderful time. The home is just decorated beautifully. There is so much space to relax. The kitchen has everything you need and the beds were so comfortable. If we go back to longboat key we would love to stay there again. Also the property owner was so easy to work with, it was a breeze. We stayed here with our grown children and 3 young grandsons (ages 9 mos - 4 yrs). I can't think of a single negative. The home is lovely and well-kept. It's close enough to the pool and beach to be convenient, even walking with little ones and gear, but far enough to feel that young, daring boys were safe. We can't wait to visit again. My friends and I couldn't have asked for or expected nicer accomodations. Every detail was covered -- the kitchen is stocked with more gadgets than I have at home! Plenty of towels, reading material, and all the little creature comforts that were needed. What a beautiful, well-kept home. We can't wait to go back! WOW! What a great place to stay. We loved the condo and the city. The beach is beautiful! We will be booking this again next year. It was nice to finally stay at a vacation rental where there was room to spread out and everyone could have their own bedroom. The tennis courts are awesome and we really enjoyed the beach. It is a fun place to bring the family and the kitchen is huge! We may come back in the Summer in the same unit. My best friend's and our family - eight of us stayed for two weeks. It was great.We used the inflatable bed for the kids in the den and the unit was large enough so we were not tripping over each other and it cost a lot less than if we rented two hotel rooms. The kids loved the beach nearby and the park next door.The area is upscale but Cedars has a relaxed feeling and it was safe for our kids 10 and 14 years old. I liked the nature trails and heated pool and my husband fished and I cooked it in the kitchen( when we didn't eat out!) We will reserve again this winter/spring break. My kids loved the place-it's safe, my husband loved the tennis on clay-like courts under lights and I liked the beach. Will be back again next year in this unit (it's bigger than most at Cedars)
