Luxurious Beachfront Suite by FVC

Offered by Florida Vacation Connection, enjoy this spacious 650 square feet beachfront Club Suite. This perfect island getaway is located behind the gates on the prestigious southern tip of Longboat. The dressing area is updated with blue Brazilian granite counters resembling the blue Gulf waters and the bathroom with Italian porcelain tile and an onyx inlaid bathtub / shower. The open and private lanai is a pleasant place to take in the view, read a good book, enjoy a cup of coffee, or an evening meal and watch dolphins passing by. Wake up every morning and see the gentle waves of the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy breakfast on the private balcony. Enjoy the white sandy beach, just steps away from the club suite. Our guests have access to the beautiful private beach, pool and hot tub area only. Resort amenities (golf, dining, tennis, room and maid service or fitness) are private and not included. No money is exchanged on the property.

Destination wedding
I was lucky enough to spend a long weekend at this lovely studio condo! It had everything my sister and i needed for our mini trip for a family wedding. The condo is steps from the pristine beach with beautiful views from the balcony. Looking forward to returning soon!

FVC Condo was very nice and clean, but was really disappointed with the huge wedding tent deal on the beach in front of the condo. Had to listen to construction type noise for two solid days on Thursday and Friday while they installed the floor decking and huge tent. Literally took hundreds of 4 wheeling trips back and forth with beeping noises every time they went in reverse loading and unloading the tent floor decking. Also placed a generator in front of our room that ran for two days solid. Wedding was Saturday night then had to listen to take apart deal on Sunday morning and finishing up today as we were leaving. Had I known about the wedding and tent set up noises, along with partially blocking our view I never would have signed up for this (expensive) condo. It really put a damper on our experience at this resort. I highly recommend verifying there’s no wedding or special event going on in that area of the beach before you pay for this condo. FVC response to my disappointment with this booking was minimal at best. Lesson learned to try to think of every negative scenario that can happen with a booking… Tom Byrne

Beachfront but Dated
Loved the spacious beachfront balcony for breakfast or afternoon relaxing. This high-tech unit is part of the Longboat Key Resort, which is a big plus. Furnishings and beige and brown colors were quality for their time but dated; brown carpet somewhat matted; the unit seemed dim. Good quality towels but dated bed covers. Stiff mattress. Prefer colors and furnishings with a coastal vibe.

Not as expected
Property was not as expected. First, know that this is a studio property…. It is described as a beach front club suite. We didn’t catch this and that is on us but you need to know this is a studio, one room rental. Pictures also show a pool that is not available to renters because it is for club members only. Other amenities are also not available to renters. Second, on arrival we learned we had to drive about 10-15 minutes to pick up the keys for the property. Not convenient and adding driving time to pick up and return keys is a pure waste of time. Finally the property had a very bad odor when we entered it. We bought air freshener and advised the property management company. They said someone painted furniture but it was not paint small, it was a foul, stale smell. Two days later, without any notice to us, 3 HVAC techs showed up to work on the air unit. They spent 45 minutes in the property and were pleasant but I have to say that I was surprised we were not informed. Had we not been there, would they have just come in to all of our personal belongings? Didn’t feel right and we shared this with he management company but got no response. Overall a beautiful area but you can find better properties and service.

Good Stay
Check-in process was easy once we read the email but still a bit of a hassle since the office is offsite. The resort was a bit noisey for our liking, lots of yard maintenance happening right at 8am! Location was spot on and unit was very clean. Thank you

Excellent location and the unit was very well appointed. Steps to the beautiful and peaceful beach and only a short drive to all the shops and restaurants at St Armand’s Circle. The more time we spent here, the more we know we’ll be back soon! Thanks you Sue and Dallas for all the great info about the area.

We enjoyed our stay. This property had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Anything you could possibly need in the kitchen was there. The bathroom was fantastic, the bed comfortable and the view amazing. Access to the beach was quick and easy.

Property was in a great location.
Good overall experience. A little disappointed we could not use amenities associated with property. That being said, I knew this up front. What I didn't know was that we would not be permitted to bring our own beverages to the pool and beach. Need to resolve this ie, either give guest the ability to purchase beverages or allow guest to bring their own to pool and beach area.
