The Beach on Longboat Key #227 Resort by RVA

10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous view of beach from 2nd floor, although a middle unit would have been nicer than end by trees. Fantastic amount of kitchen amenities but glad I brought a larger coffee pot. Plenty of towels and bed linen available with very comfortable murphy bed mattress. Provisions for the beach was exceptional. Would definitely stay here again."

"Rooms were clean, spacious, and well appointed. Lots of beach/pool toys were available for our kids to use during the stay. These are what are leftover from others that have stayed so YMMV. The beach is close to any room. Pool was clean and has a deep end that my kids enjoyed diving into. My only gripe was the towel rule. They only provide one set of towels and linens for the stay. If something gets soiled you must launder them yourself or pay a fee for fresh."
