You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Tastefully decorated and spacious studio overlooking Island Lagoon.
Florida Vacation Connection is proud to offer this tastefully decorated and spacious 642 square foot studio overlooking Island Lagoon. From the moment you walk through the front door, you will notice the attention to detail reflective of the Gulf, sand, our protected Sea Turtles and relaxation.
Sit on your oversized open air balcony and take in the views of the lagoon to watch the boats, kayaks, SUP's, and hydrofoil surfboards. Have your beverage of choice with breakfast here watching the incredible sunrises reflected in the lagoon to energize your day.
Throughout your day, you will experience the efficiency of the layout of this junior suite with the microwave doubling as your convection oven, affording you the opportunity to prepare for any activity, whether swim suite, office suit, or gala attire. Spacious closets with extra storage invites you to stay longer.
Rinse the day away with the waterfall shower head or soak in the tub. Then repose to the Ergonomic Sleep Number bed with independent settings where you travel through your sleep journey, drifting off to swim with the dolphins and turtles.
Every attention to the details has been made to ensure you awaken to the calming emerald tones of the sea and the creatures she protects. Discover the starfish, sand dollar, and sailing clipper all watched over by the sands of time slowly dropping through the hourglass.
Come experience your own aquatic escape in this junior suite. Even stayover guests can enjoy the pullout sofa with its Gel Memory Foam mattress top. Something for everyone!
Added conveniences include a brand new front-loading washer and dryer, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, new refrigerator-freezer, and cork floors for sound absorption. And don't forget that 10' x 20' balcony!
With the beach only a short walk away, you will have access to the pool and hot tub area equipped with chaise lounges and umbrellas which is a great place to relax, so swimming and sunning enjoyment is yours to be had.
We know you will enjoy the luxurious club suite, where you will discover the special ambience of Longboat Key and its beautiful beaches.
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.

Great location
The apartment was perfect for our stay. We loved hanging out on the balcony watching manatees and dolphins. The beach was a short walk away. We definitely would love to stay here again.

Wonderful stay
This was my first time staying in Longboat Key. The studio was spacious, well decorated and it was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. We loved the access to the beach and the pool. You can't access the club amenities (aka bar or beachside service) so we went to Publix and purchased our own beverages and cups and brought them with us. Although it would've been nice to access the hotel bar, it wasn't a deal breaker. Armand Circle was close and easy to access via car/uber. The property sits on by a gulf course and the view from the patio is even better than in the pictures! Very quiet and peaceful. The management company was great with communication. We had no issues and would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful setting
Florida beaches can get noisy and crowded during spring break. Longboat Key remains a haven of peace, and the lagoon just below your balcony on this property is the definition of peace. We watched dolphins playing while we ate breakfast, and listened to the birds. It was a true getaway.

Beautiful location but read the fine print
This is a nice property with a beautiful view of the lagoon from the spacious balcony. Just know that when they say you don’t have access to the amenities other than the pool and beach, this means you can’t even buy a water or drink at the pool/beach or eat at the poolside bar/restaurant and you can’t purchase anything from the gift shop. I wouldn’t rent this property again just because of this awkward situation.
