PENTHOUSE DOUBLE BALCONY FULL GULF & BAY VIEWS FROM EVERY ROOM Beachplace 5-602

Our month-long stay at Birds Eye View was nothing short of amazing and exceeded all expectations we had for this adventure as a family. The condo is beautiful, bright, spacious and comfortable. What really makes this condo special though is the incredible views. The straight-on, panoramic views of the Gulf from the huge balcony that spans the entire length of the condo are breathtaking. From sunrise to sunset we lived on this balcony when we weren’t at the pool or beach! Even the views of Sarasota Bay from the front of the condo were gorgeous and a few times we took chairs out to that balcony to watch the beautiful sunrise over Sarasota. You have a water view out of every window in this condo! Everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay was included in the condo. It had the nicest supply of kitchen appliances, utensils and dinnerware (glass and plastic) we have ever seen in a rental. There are plenty of towels and bedding. Everything you need for the beach and pool is here: towels, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, pool noodles, and more. However, Beachplace supplies chairs and umbrellas out on the beach so we never even had to carry our own down! The beach here is stunning. We enjoyed countless walks on the beach from sunrise to sunset. The beach is gorgeous and the water was crystal clear and warm for our June stay. The wildlife! We saw manatees swimming right in front of Beachplace, sea turtles coming out of the water to nest at night, tons of dolpins and beautiful sea birds. Our favorites were the baby sandpipers! Sometimes the water was so calm you could just float in the water with a float and sometimes the conditions were perfect for boogie boards. We also really enjoyed the pool area. It’s a very large pool area, tons of chairs and tables and umbrellas and something for everyone – a swim lane you can sign up for to swim laps, a shallow area, deep area, hot tub and a separate baby pool. The pool water was a perfect, warm and refreshing temperature every day. The Beachplace grounds were very well kept with beautiful plants and palm trees. We felt very safe and secure on the property. The location is fantastic – centrally located on the island, a short drive to the Publix for groceries, St. Armand’s for dining and shopping and lots of great restaurants within a short drive. The owners are awesome, very friendly and were quick to respond to all of our questions from booking to check out. We can't wait to return!

Great views of the beach from master bedroom, balcony, living room, and kitchen. Easy access to other islands. The condo has everything needed to be at the beach: toys, towels, cooler, etc. Heather is great with communicating from beginning to end of stay. We had a great stay overall and would love to go back!

Very nice and well equiped condo with amazing view of Gulf. The property was amazing and felt like a resort, the beach was beautiful and private - loved it! Thank you Heather and John for sharing your wonderful Condo.

The property and the unit were fantastic. It was a pleasure to stay.

My husband and I spent ten fabulous days at this property and we didn't want to leave. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and it was perfect from the second we arrived. The penthouse has an awesome view of the pond with fountains, the well-maintained property, as well as the Gulf of Mexico. We felt at home and had everything we needed during our stay. The furniture was comfortable, extremely clean, cozy, updated, and perfect to sum it up. The pool area was was large, clean, and very well maintained. Plenty of places to sit and nice furniture. The beach was breathtaking and the sand was so soft. There were chairs and umbrellas set up but minimum due to COVID-19 which was fine with us. We appreciated the social distancing and all the precautions that were taken to keep owners/guests safe. Overall, we truly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to return. I would rate this a ten if I could!! Thank you Heather for making our anniversary extremely special! I greatly appreciate you answering my questions, concerns due to the virus, etc. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!!

Heather is fantastic to work with and the condo and property are beautiful. We could not have asked for a better place to stay!

Perfect view and very well maintained condo.

We absolutely LOVED staying at this condo. It was beautifully remodeled, had everything we needed, and had a great view. The pool was huge and the beach has perfect sugar sand. The owners were the friendliest we have met on vrbo. They communication everything and even went above and beyond to suggest events that were happening while we were there. We love Longboat Key and have stayed at several locations on the island, this unit is one of the BEST! Definitely top notch. Thanks for having us! :-)

The place has a ton going for it. 6th floor view of the Gulf, huge balcony to hangout on... which we did. I have 2 kids and we enjouyed the beach snokeling and collecting shelks.
