Cedars East #526 Beautiful 2 bed 2 1/2 bath town home on Longboat Key. Sleeps 5

Loved our rental & the Cedar East Community. Pristine & well taken care of

The furniture was comfortable with plenty of pillows, and the kitchen was well-equipped. One porch screen was ripped and half off the window,which we notified the owner of immediately.We also told him the porch furniture was filthy and we had to clean it ourselves. There were no bathroom or other cleaning products and the first 3 days the main bathtub drain was fully clogged and water up to our ankles by the time we finished our shower. The owner suggested we buy drano.Only 1 of 4 bathroom sinks held water, even after my husband got underneath the sinks to correct this.Neither inside garage light worked.. The owners are overseas and rely apparently on one handyman, who was indisposed so none of these were fixed. Worse than all that , the listing inaccuracies were abundant. It listed public beach 1 mile away - a 5 min walk. Hardly, for the average walker 15 min. without carrying beach equipment. It listed beach across the street - it is, but it’s private. And a photo of a tiki beach bar listed under property was, the owner admitted, 5 miles away. Under POOL AND SPA, the owner listed a variety of pools. There is one. There are no guest reviews since July2025. If you are noise sensitive, note every room in the condo is next to the main road that runs down the Key and is always busy. I’ve never had to write such a negative review. I and my family members have always given 10 for VRBOs we’ve rented.

This is our 2nd time we stayed in this property. Beautiful beachy decor inside. Well proportioned rooms. Plenty of cookware, dishes, silverware, cups and glasses. Plenty of beach towels for your use. Garage perfectly clean. Host instructions are very clear. Dave is very responsive to your messages. I can't wait for next summer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Longboat Key! The house was clean and stocked full of everything we could have needed, dishes, utensils, pots, pans and even Tupperware.

This property was beautifully furnished with seashore motive. It was very clean, good lighting inside. In fact we loved it so, we kept wishing for a rainy so we could guiltlessly enjoy being inside. Relaxing in the pool after a day at the beach shelling is an extra plus. Ourhost was very responsive to our questions.

Near wonderful beaches. Relaxed and it feels Like at home

We really enjoyed our stay. Check In/Out process was easy and communication was great. The unit was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. There are a lot of beach toys, chairs, etc for a great day at the beach. Probably the most we have ever seen at a beach area condo. Also, having a garage for the car was really nice. The complex itself was great and the pool was amazing. It is 4ft deep all around with plenty of room for the kids to have fun while not bothering others. We even played some tennis thanks to the nice people at the clubhouse desk who let us borrow tennis rackets and balls. The beach access was easy. We chose to drive so we could just leave all the beach items in the car and not have to walk as far with kids. Public access is about a mile away to the south and never had issues with parking (during spring break). There were quite a few other families staying at the complex while we were there and our kids made friends the first day. We are definitely thinking of returning.

It was great!

Very well equipped home in a quiet and convenient location. The host was responsive and the home was clean and exactly as described. Hope to be back.

We love this unit. Cedars is a great place to stay. Amazing pool.

We loved absolutely everything about this place. We have been in LBK few times, but this was our first time at this location. The kitchen had everything, the new huge TV in the living was amazing. Every room had a TV. We spent two weeks in this place and we loved everything about it. The garage is huge, it has tons of beach chairs and umbrellas. Dave is an amzing guy and was laways checking our stay was a pleasant one. The swimming pool is huge and very pleasant to be in. The beach was very close and all we had to do is walk about 200 yards. Amazing views and the beach is not crowded at all because is mostly private. Publix is super close and very convenient as it has a small liquor store next to it. Everyone in LBK is super nice. Location was perfect, as the bridhe to Brandenton is very close and a very pleasant drive. Brandenton has a Walmart and Aldi which are ablut 10 miles away or less. Our girls loved the room and kept telling me how roomy it was. They really felt at home, well, we all did. We will definitely stay again.
