Luxurious Beachfront Jr. Suite by FVC

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

We gave the rental operations manager all of our feedback on our last day. There were a number of annoyances at the condo although the condo itself was lovely. First night, had to drive 5 miles to and from the condo to pick up our keys, instead of someone meeting us at the condo. Pretty lazy and inhospitable for what we paid. All kinds of hidden fees. Elevator wasn’t working so had to slug our suitcases and griceries up 27 stairs. My husband is not in good health. Couldn’t get the tv system to work for a few nights. There was a beeping noise every night from the cable system so did not sleep well. Weren’t allowed to purchase anything to eat or drink at the pool because they didn’t take credit cards. Yet for $25 a day we could rent an umbrella with a credit card. Weren’t allowed to dine at their restaurants. Will never go back!

The space was exactly as described, beautiful, comfortable, right on the beach with excellent balcony space. The kitchen has everything you need and the area is really amazing!

Beautiful view and excellent beachfront access. The property is gorgeous with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The suite was perfect for my husband and me. Great amenities. Communication from vacation rentals was superb. Sept is an awesome time to visit.

This is super cute condo RIGHT on the beach, perfect for a couple. The area is perfect not busy at all! We saw manatees and dolphins while being in the beach it was beautiful!

Island Inn is perfect for a couple! We were delighted with the location -steps away from the beach and an easy drive to great restaurants. The unit is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the balcony table and chairs for morning coffee and evening happy hour.

Great location, clean, well appointed property

The property is fantastic if you're looking to stay directly on the beach, and it's very well-equipped for making your own meals. The only downside is that while staying at the Longboat Key Club, you are permitted to use the pool and beach but cannot purchase food or drinks on-site. This was stated in the listing, so it wasn’t a surprise, but I do think there should be a workaround. For example, if you're at the pool and want to order a beverage, you cannot charge it to your room or pay by credit card—you need a member number. This becomes especially problematic since outside food and beverages are not allowed. A great place to stay and I would recommend to a friend.

Great studio. Comfortable, safe & view of ocean. Wish I could have stayed longer!

This location was amazing.....our place was perfect....the resort is very nice....we will definitely be back here !

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!

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.
