About this property

Flash sale late Oct - Nov 50 ft from sand, Private Island 125 +review

This property is a family-owned 800 square foot tower apartment on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. There is a full kitchen, living area with a queen size sleeper sofa, and a bedroom with two queen size beds. It is part of the Zilli Collection. Each with the Zilli touch of amazing view, decor, (not typical wicker furniture, silly beach artifacts, 40 year old flooring, one SIZE fits all, etc.). We call it upscale coastal. The properties are more of a resort, 5 star hotel feel. We own an elegant upscale home next door, a penthouse unit, a direct walk out unit, along with 2 units with the option to connect into one suite.

You’ll find everything you need on-site from free WIFI to dishes, linens, towels and even a few extras you may need for your stay like puzzles and soap. There is a pool and a covered area with grills and picnic tables overlooking the beach. Hope to see you soon at one of my beautiful vacation homes. All you need is your bathing suit and a toothbrush. The beach is just steps away.

This resort is not a place of public accommodation as defined by the ADA and, therefore, does not meet the accessibility requirements of the ADA. That said, there are some accessible features at the facility. Please ask me specific questions to determine if this property would a good fit for your needs.

Please view my other beautiful vacation homes and make plans now to visit Longboat Key to see why we love it!!!

A little piece of heaven

This property is exactly as pictured and truly a little piece of heaven! You are as close to the beach as you can get! Literally 25 steps and you are in the sand! There are loungers and chairs provided for use which makes it super convenient. The beach is not crowded at all and very quiet. The condo is clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you could need! It was just right for my husband and I to have all the space we needed. You won’t find a better place to enjoy the Gulf of Mexico. Jim is a wealth of information and available for any questions you may have! Highly recommend!

July 2020

My husband, daughter and I all enjoyed our recent vacation that was spent at your Longboat Key condo. It was very tastefully decorated, with an amazing oceanfront view, just steps away from the sand. We loved the ground floor walkout access to the beach. We felt very safe with the extra precautions that were taken by the owners cleaning service (In reference to COVID-19) prior to our check-in. Also, we felt very safe with the beach privacy! The owner, Jim was very helpful and easy to work with and went the extra mile to make sure we were well taken care of. As this was our first trip to Florida, he gave us lots of additional information to assure that our trip was a good one! I would stay here again! Many thanks, Jim!

The beach access is so easy and convenient. The shared sunset viewing space is wonderful. We enjoyed sunsets every night! Each morning we were greeted by dolphins swimming playfully just yards from the shoreline. This unit is a great value for all that it has to offer. This is definitely a place I would like to return to again.

My husband had an amazing stay on this property. It was steps away from beach. The property was quiet and everyone was really friendly. The condo had everything one needs to enjoy their visit. One thing I would consider changing is the quality of beach towel offered. I know that is a small request, but they were not very soft. Other than that everything was perfect. We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Zilli

Host profile image
Jim Zilli grew up in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. He started coming to Longboat Key in the early 1980's. Jim chose this property as it was the perfect vacation property with a fantastic gulf view. Jim had previously purchased the nearby two-bedroom villa and came to live in Longboat Key full-time in 2009. The Tower 503 has upscale touches equivalent to a Ritz or St. Regis suite.

Jim is CEO in the family’s Wisconsin on off-site catering special events business, so he has ample experience in hospitality. He finds great enjoyment and satisfaction helping guests have fantastic vacations in his properties – many of whom come back year after year. “I have many families who I have gotten to know over the years and spent time, dining, golfing, helped them find realtors, and more,” says Jim.

Clients have complimented Jim’s style as attentive and not pushy. They appreciate he will check in with them during their stay. He wants renters to know he’s there for them.

Why they chose this property

The most apparent reason Jim chose Longboat Key is the weather and beauty of this location, and the Villa located just steps from a world-class beach. Guests never run out of things to do, whether it’s enjoying the nightlife in nearby Sarasota or only collecting shells along the white sand beach. The weather provides just enough variety so that you won’t be bored. Unlike other areas of Florida, Longboat Key is quiet, safe and has a small-town feel he enjoys. The area feels remote and natural, yet it’s easy to access with the Sarasota airport just 7 miles east of Sarasota or from Tampa, which is 40 minutes away.

One of Jim’s favorite things to do is golf, and (there are several world-class courses within a 20-minute drive). He also enjoys movies and recommends the annual film festival in Sarasota. He keeps a running list of the many, many things there are to do in the area - so whether you like to swim, sunbathe, walk the beach, golf, shop, or all of the above, Jim’s guests find plenty to keep themselves entertained. At the same time, the secluded location offers privacy and quiet, so if you, like most of us, need to catch up on rest while you’re here, you can fall asleep to nothing more than the gentle sound of the surf.

What makes this property unique

At secluded Longboat Key small complex. 1st floor unit of 5 floors with beautiful views of the Gulf and the beach right in front of you.
