Very basic room

The rental was very basic and on the inside of the complex so there was no view. Being on the first floor, there was a window awning so people couldn't look right in your room but that also meant that you couldn't really see out as well. The complex has a lovely pool and some of the rentals have oceanview. I just wouldn't go back to this one in particular. It was okay for a very short stay.

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!

Lovely lbk

We loved the kitchy motel vibe. The mattress could of been better. The bath had some mold. The kitchenette didn’t have a sink so we used the bathroom sink. I realize it is an older motel. We loved the pool, mini golf & of course that beautiful beach.

Nice grounds and pool, million dollar beach

Great location on Longboat Key in a quieter stretch of the island. Property has direct beach access with lounge chairs and a well-maintained heated pool and terrace. Guests were a mix of older couples and younger families. Margaret in the office kept the public areas tidy and made great conversation. My unit was one of the smaller single rooms, compact but adequate. Other units had full kitchens and screened porches, and many guests return each year. The parking lot was stones rather than impermeable surface, great for drainage but requiring extra care when walking.

It's in a beautiful location on the beach, loved the heated pool and the lounge chairs on the beach. The front office staff was helpful and the other guests nearby were quiet. I did not like that someone was smoking on the property (guests or staff?). The room was clean and cozy. One critique is that it is dark. There is one window and it' covered by a dark, metal exterior hurricane shutter. The room could use an additinal tall light with a bright bulb. The Expedia description & description for this room is also inaccurate and misleading. When I booked it--and even now, it's described as sleeping 4, but it's a small studio (one room), with 1 bed, and could not sleep more than two people max. There is no space or bed to sleep two more people. This should be changed ASAP.
