The room was perfect for what we needed it for. It was clean and just a short walk to the beach. We had dishes to use but had to wash them in the bathroom sink because there was no other sink or dishwasher. Check out we were unsure of what the expectations were so we placed all the used towels in the bathroom and dropped the keys off at the check in center. But overall we will probably come back, we will just spend a little extra for a balcony room.

Although very small, it accommodated my needs which was a clean place on the sand. I love Longboat Key and the location on the beach and the cleanliness of the studio was just what I needed. Thank you.

Quiet little get-a-way

Room was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for a quick little stay. Location was perfect and we had our own private beach with never more than 6 people on it at one time! The heated pool was spot on for the chilly nights. This place was quiet and very relaxing. We would definitely book here again!
