Longboat Key-OCEAN FRONT- on the beach

My place is located in a small boutique complex located on Longboat Key. Walk to shops, restaurants and park. You’ll love my place because of Gulf front location with full gulf view from living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and screened lanai. Completely updated in 2015 with full kitchen, two full baths and two bedrooms. A perfect place to relax, listen to the surf and watch amazing sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.
