DESIGN AND SITUATION.
Walk past the ancient and annual nests of the sea turtles. The gulf breeze blows through the sea grasses and grapes, pine trees and adjacent forest, and onto the gulf side tennis courts. This more intelligently sited, designed, and sized 85 unit complex has as many units as others have floors. Attractive and stylistically unique on the island, Club Longboat is better in both aspect and function than the row upon rows of high population, high rise boxes plopped onto the beach. Celebrating beachfront tennis and an outdoor lifestyle, apartments feature a screened lanai, two large balconies, and floor to ceiling windows with large sliding glass doors inviting the outdoors inside. Public and private zones are separated by a U shaped configuration for entertaining friends. Very few rental units are available.

BEAUTY. PRIVACY. PEACE.
Elder and family friendly, your well appointed, gulf side, beach view, spacious and quiet end unit condo is located on the top (3rd) floor and serviced by elevators and stairs. It is bordered by a mature woods that are home to snowy egret, white ibis, great blue heron, osprey and song birds who visit our beaches, pool and sometimes your large furnished balconies. The first balcony, off the living room, is sometimes shared by an errant heron. The second is off the king master suite with large TV DVR, his and hers dressers and private full bath down the large closet lined dressing corridor. Master and balcony overlook the woods, tennis courts, and gulf beach views. Open the slider, turn the ceiling fan on low, and drift off to the sound of the surf. Sleep in the delicious gulf night air. Moonlight shines onto your bed. A small red headed bird pecks at his reflection in the mourning. Hotel quality linens, towels, bathrobes. The second bedroom has TV and DVR, twin beds that can convert to a king and second full bath across the front corridor. Washer dryer, iron and board, cleaning appliances are in the service closet. The study with large custom built desk opens onto a screened furnished gulf and court view lanai. The study also converts to a 3rd completely private guest bedroom with an accordion folding wall and a comfy sofa/sleeper queen. Mourning coffee on the balcony, lanai or on the beach? The separate entry has closet and beach credenza containing beach towels, coolers, picnic basket, tennis and beach supplies. The entry opens into the large full "cook's" kitchen with glass top stove, microwave, full refrigerator with ice maker, double sink with disposal, dishwasher, trash compactor, and all entertaining and cooking, appliances, service, and beach plastic ware, including acrylic wine goblets for the Jacuzzi -of course!

 Outstanding Beach Paradise, September 10, 2009
By D. Rubinger (Orlando, FL & Chatham, NJ USA)
This condo is wonderful! Spacious, beautifully decorated, light and airy. The amenities are great. Everything you need is there. This place accommodated everyone from my 78 year old mother to my 5 year old niece. The owners are delightful to deal with and the staff was very accommodating. Of course the beach is spectacular! Definietly would rent this unit again.
 
By g. simon (Tampa, FL.)
This is a great condo. It's on the Gulf of Mexico side (which is where you want to be on Longboat Key). It's spacious and nicely furnished. It has 2 nice bedrooms and a study, which could easily be used for a 3rd bedroom. It has 2 patios for sunning, plus a screened lanai for outdoor dining. Great tennis facilities, lovely pool, and of course The Beach. The owners are great, and very attentive, as are the staff who run the condo facility. We look forward to renting this condo again in the future.
Owner Supplied Testimonials
Wonderful stay at a perfect situated place
Reviewed by: Brenner family from Buerstadt, Germany
Reviewed on: 09/13/2009 for their stay in 08/2009
Our family of 4 (2 adults / 2 teen aged girls) had a wonderful stay at Club Longboat Beach & Tennis #131. The home had everything we needed even sheets and beach towels. The kitchen was fully equipped w/pots pans & appliances. Televisions in every bedroom and internet access. The location, just steps to the beach, was perfect. Home is tastefully decorated with all the amenities needed. The pool area is a fun gathering place. There are several restaurants from which to choose. It was a pleasure to deal with the very helpful owner. We would definitely recommend Longboat Beach & Tennis as a place to rent when vacationing in Florida.
