About this property

Waterfront w/Dock, Beach Access!

BEACH, BOAT, BIKE, FISH, KAYAK, TV/SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD, RELAX & ENJOY! Nestled between the highly sought after Anna Maria Island and St. Armand's Circle this amazing Longboat Key Boathouse offers just as much enjoyment as it does relaxation. This direct waterfront ground floor condo, packed with amenities, is just a 7-minute walk to your private beach entrance to the Gulf of Mexico. Come walk out of your back door to the intercoastal waterway, fish or sit and enjoy the tranquility.
The space
This one-story condo unit includes a King Bed in the bedroom, a walk-in shower, walk in closet, sofa in living room, full kitchen, super high speed 500 mbps internet, stream your favorite movies, over 140 TV channels, Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher, in unit washer/dryer and a front and back patio with a private boat dock. Come walk out of your back door to the intercoastal waterway, fish or sit and enjoy the water! Just down the road is the kayak launch into the inter-coastal waterway.

Guests will need to provide their own boat and water activities (kayak, fishing gear, etc.).

I have cameras monitoring the front door and the dock.
Guest access
The walk to the private beach entrance is .3 miles. When you arrive to this spot and head towards the beach, you'll be greeted with the amazing natural vegetation and views that Longboat Key is famous for. Property also has a designated carport parking space and you will receive a personalized code for the duration of your stay to access the front and rear door of the unit.
Other things to note
Just one block away, make sure to get your fresh coffee at the deli and bakery shop, beach chairs and snacks at the convenience store and bicycle rentals at the bike shop.

Whether you prefer to bike or go on a peaceful walk, the 16 acre Joan M Durante Community Park has an entrance approx. 100 feet from your front door with flower gardens and beautiful Banyan trees, it's a must see!

Longboat Key has lovely restaurants like Maison Blanche for French Cuisine, Lazy Lobster and Shore if you'd prefer to dine waterfront. Short drive to St. Armands, you have the famous Columbia, serving Spanish-Cuban cuisine, numerous Seafood and Steakhouses to choose from and our FAVORITE spot..."Venezia" for the best pizza (Chicken Alfredo with a Coconut Mojito... you'll thank me later)

If you feel you still want a little more variety in your stay, head North 3 miles to a direct waterfront beach market on Coquina Beach every Wednesday and Sunday or shop till you drop in the beautiful Saint Armand's Circle which is 9 miles South. The Ringling Museum is a must-see as well.

There are endless recreational and cultural activities of a classical Florida beach vacation right at your doorstep. No need to use the car for anything you don't want to!

A few years ago, we left behind stressful, fast-paced careers and set out for a new chapter in Florida. Our journey has taken us along the stunning Southwest Florida coastline and across the globe, but there's something truly special about Longboat Key.

Having traveled extensively, we've always felt the most at peace by the water. Longboat Key, with its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere, feels like the perfect escape—a place where one can truly unwind, reconnect with nature, and feel at home.

This incredible destination has become a haven, and I’m thrilled to share its unique charm and tranquility with others. My hope is that your time here brings you the same joy, relaxation, and sense of connection to nature that I’ve found.

This property is truly a gem. Unlike the typical hotel experience, where the room is just a place to crash after a hectic itinerary, this BoatHouse on Longboat Key offers something entirely different. It feels like a true home, perfectly nestled in the heart of everything while surrounded by nature’s beauty.

Here, you can find the ideal balance of relaxation and activity. Whether you want to explore on bikes or kayaks, lounge on the beach, take a boat ride, shop, or indulge in 5-star dining, the options are endless. Or, you can simply unwind and soak in the tranquil ambiance of being directly on the water.

The natural elements here create a sense of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s a place I absolutely love coming back to, and I’m certain you’ll feel the same.

Great Place - Close to it all!

This is a cute little place right on a canal. It's in a quiet neighborhood adjacent to the nature preserve that has nice trails to the bay. It is a .03 mile walk to the beach. The Adirondak chairs were nice to relax in next to the canal. Nice flowers on the exterior. The interior was lovely. The dining table overlooks the canal the kitchen has ample space to cook meals and make cocktails! The king-sized bed was comfy and the linens were soft and fluffy. We appreciated the large screen TV's in the living and bedrooms. There is also a washer and dryer in the unit which was super convenient. The area has amazing beaches and we enjoyed kayaking out of Bayfront Park. There are a number of restaurant's that are within walking distance as well.
