Historic Longbeach Village Cottage - Private Home

The rental house was very economical. It was not fancy, but close to everything (restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach. We enjoyed our time.

I stayed here with my family recently and enjoyed the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen (though no dishwasher), and a backyard gas grill that worked well. The house is not on the beach, but it is close to a public beach and not far from grocery stores and other amenities. Frankly, we spent most of our time away from the property and at the beach, but this was a nice home base for us. We enjoyed our stay!

The location was great! We love Longboat The house has 2 out of 3 bedrooms are very hot. Kitchen very small hard to cook in and no dishwasher. It was a better house for long weekend not our 2 weeks stay. Owner very nice!

The cottage was immaculate and located minutes to a public beach that was beautiful and less crowded. After a day at the beach, we enjoyed being close to great restaurants, and a kitchen equipped with everything you need to put together a meal for a family. The new fire stick on the TV was a nice way to wind down. Finally, the linens and beds were fantastic !!! Finally, it was very nice to have a private garage to park the car. We hope to return!

We had a lovely stay. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to make our trip to LBK great. Walking distance to our family in the area and beaches. Will definitely be back!

An older cottage as was advertised, but well furnished. Comfortable beds and well equipped with most needs! Owners were responsive and accommodating. Neighborhood was quiet ..except for an occasional peacock. Close to several good restaurants.

We're LBK residents who needed a place to bugout while our home was being fumigated. It was also a work week so I wasn't certain a 'cottage in a historic village' would be equipped with the kind of WiFi to accommodate my work-from-home demands. I dare say the connection in the cottage is much better than what you'll get at the Longboat Key Resort. Besides that, we fell instantly in love with the place's unassuming size and unpretentious decor. It's charming, tranquil, private and accessible to the Whitney's and Shore's on the bikes—provided by the hosts. We've changed our attitude on the multi-million dollar, cookie-cutter modern mansions despoiling the island after a week's stay in something small yet with so much character and spirit. We would definitely find an excuse to spend a few nights there again even though we already have our own place on LBK.

The property was cleaned and well stocked. Walking distance to the beach and pier. Great outdoor space and neighborhood for kids

This property is truly a treasure. Diana goes the extra mile to make sure guests are comfortable in the enchanting Longboat Key north end village. This very well maintained historical cottage is less common in what was the original fishing village of LBK because many of the original buildings are being replaced with new construction. This charming cottage is very clean with not only a well equipped kitchen, but everything you need for the beach, including beach bicycles to toodle to Whitney Beach! I hope to have the pleasure of staying here again!

Property is on southern end of island which is a nice respite from the crowded northern end. Home was clean, roomy and had all required amenities.
