Luxurious Beachfront Suite by FVC

Proudly offered by Florida Vacation Connection, this beautifully updated 650-square-foot beachfront Suite (also known as a Jr. Suite) is your ticket to paradise on Longboat Key.

Wake up to the soothing sound of waves and panoramic views of the turquoise Gulf waters right from your bed. Step onto your private lanai to sip morning coffee, catch a glimpse of dolphins, or dine al fresco as the sun dips below the horizon.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed retreat that blends comfort with style. The King-sized bed is dressed in pretty linens and fluffy pillows, and the updated dressing area offers a fresh, elegant feel. The bathroom is a spa-like escape with Italian porcelain tile and an onyx-inlaid tub and shower.

The fully equipped kitchen is as functional as it is gorgeous—with sleek cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and stylish lighting. Enjoy meals indoors at the granite dining table for four, or head outside to the lanai where another dining table and a chaise lounge invite you to relax and unwind.

Stay connected—or unplug completely. A 55” smart TV with cable, high-speed secured Wi-Fi, and web TV options are included. Additional conveniences include a washer and dryer, ceiling and table fans, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. The owner even provides a Netflix account for your entertainment.

***While resort amenities such as golf, dining, tennis, fitness center, and room service are reserved exclusively for resort guests, our renters enjoy exclusive access to the stunning private beach, pool, and hot tub area—all at a significantly reduced rate compared to booking directly with the resort.

Please note: no transactions take place on property, with the exception of beach umbrella rentals available through the Concierge.

Located behind the gates at the coveted southern tip of Longboat Key, the suite offers a peaceful and prestigious setting, just a short drive to the vibrant shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle and the cultural delights of downtown Sarasota.

Sorry, no pets permitted.

Come experience the charm and elegance of this beachfront hideaway, and discover the special magic of Longboat Key.

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

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.

Gorgeous

Seriously, you could not expect nor ask for anything more. Beautiful scenery, VERY well maintained and appointed unit (1205). Further, on the first night of my stay, I accidentally locked myself out of the unit at 2:00 A.M. Maureen from Florida Properties Rentals came to my rescue in the middle of the night. Thank you so much.

Perfect! The only problem was the TV that was impossible to use and we are pretty techy…

We loved our place except for the TV. Perfect for 2 people, magnificent views of palms, beach, water and sunsets- what more could we want?! Also the best location anyone could have on Longboat! All the staff that we would see would greet us and seemed to be happy to have us there! I believe the restaurants, etc. would do very well accepting renters for their businesses but we never had a problem finding great places to eat for sure . Their loss!!! We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay..thank you…. Roberta Prigozen

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.

Beautiful AND CLEAN!!

The view from this balcony is everything! It couldn’t be any better! The condo was beautiful… CLEAN, and inviting. It was a very spacious, cozy, comfortable place to be. The kitchen was fully stocked and everything was neat and organized. If I had something negative to say, it would probably be the tub/shower situation. The shower is behind a glass wall that doesn’t move, so you have to take the shower head down before adjusting your water temp… otherwise you get soaked. But that’s it! The grounds were beautiful, the Security guards were so very nice and ensured we knew where to go. I will definitely stay at this property again.
