Luxury Longboat Key Home by the Beach (#41789)

Description of the Longboat Key vacation home rental

This property has it all!


It is a tremendous, fully air-conditioned, custom-built former model home at Conrad Beach on the Northern tip of Longboat Key and has been pictured in Southern Living & Coastal Living magazines. It provides the highest standards of comfort and luxury and was completed in 2001 by an award-winning architectural team.


Conrad Beach is a beachside community consisting of just 21 home-sites located between historic Longbeach Village and a Gulfside sugar-sand beach, known for its Dolphin sightings, turtle-watches and glorious sunsets! A
120 acre coastal nature preserve is just north of the property and outstanding marina facilities are to the south.


Many fine restaurants are within easy reach -two within walking distance - as is a local supermarket and a variety of small shops. Within a few minutes' drive are golfing, tennis and many other sporting facilities, wildlife parks and also Sarasota's popular St. Armand's Circle.

The property comprises well over 5,000 square feet of under-roof space, accommodates up to 8 persons and is on three levels.

A private driveway leads to the front of the house, secured with a monitored alarm system, and from the pleasant porch at the ground floor entrance level there is a fine wooden staircase leading up to the main living area.

On the second floor, to the right, is the fully-carpeted lounge with two comfortable leather sofas, a fireplace and occasional tables. For your enjoyment there is cable TV (300+ channels including several premium movie & sports channels), a DVD, VCR and a CD player/music system that supplies the entire property. Sliding glass doors open up to the South-facing balcony on which there are two rocking chairs.
On the other side off the top of the staircase is the formal dining room with a table and chairs for six. Glass sliding doors open onto the South-facing balcony, again with two rocking chairs. Adjacent is a delightful wet-bar.

On this side is also a sleeper-sofa which converts into a double bed.


Off a hallway is the study, in which is a computer with high-speed internet access, a router for use with your own laptop, a telephone on which free local, long-distance and international calls can be made, a fax machine,
copier and printer.


The hallway leads on to the luxury, designer kitchen with built-in top-quality stainless steel appliances (including a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee percolator etc) and island stove, granite counter-
tops and an eat-in dining area with window seating and an outdoor view of the palm-tree filled courtyard below. The kitchen also has its own cable-TV.
Next is the laundry room with full-size washer, dryer, iron & ironing board.
Next to the laundry room is a half-bathroom with pedestal sink and wc.

Further on is the very spacious master bedroom with its beautiful four-poster king-size bed, a chaise-longue, oak furnishings, flat-screen cable TV, a DVD, telephone and views on one side overlooking the courtyard and to
the other the community pool and tropical gardens, views of which can also be enjoyed from the adjoining balcony. The gorgeous master bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath-tub, a separate and spacious granite shower, his
and her vanity units, separate WC with bidet, full-length mirrors, a hair-dryer and has windows overlooking the pool. There is a large two-sectioned walk-in designer closet offering plenty of hanging space.

The staircase from the hallway leads up to two private guest suites, each with a full bathroom, custom-made double bed, flat-screen TV & DVD, quality window treatments and beautiful views of the community pool and tropical landscaping.


A further staircase leads up to the spacious roof terrace with magnificent panoramic Gulf and Bay views - a most wonderful place to view the magnificent Gulf sunsets.


Below and between the main living areas of the house is a secluded, tropical courtyard with an outside dining table and seating for 6-8 persons. There are also two sun-loungers and adjacent is the property's private covered games area in which is a billiard/snooker table and a table-tennis table. It is then just a few paces to the (almost private!) pool, use of which is available to the residents of Conrad Beach and their guests.


Throughout the house are luxury linens, custom-made down duvet covers, modern art, highest quality furnishings, digital cable-TV in every room, with 300+ channels including premium channels and the in-house sound system.


The flooring is a mixture of hardwood, artistic tiling or quality carpeting.
The home has plenty of parking, storage space and garaging.
All linen and towels - even beach towels - are provided, as is of course sufficient cutlery, dishes, glasses, pots & pans and kitchen utensils.


Sorry, no pets and no smoking inside the house but the porch, numerous balconies and the roof terrace allow frequent opportunities for smokers to indulge without affecting others.
