Historic Longbeach Village Cottage - Private Home

'Sunny Side Up' is a restored beach cottage built in the 1950's located on the north end of Longboat Key in historic Longbeach Village. The feel of Old Florida with all the modern conveniences.

Wall Mounted Flat Screen HDTV

Wifi internet can take you from the Beach to the 'Home Away From Home Office' in a breeze. Secluded in a private lush tropical garden with outdoor deck patio, you can also 'Get Away from It All'.

'Sunny Side Up' is a short stroll from casual waterside dining at Mar Vista Restaurant and Pub where you can watch the dolphins feed. Just minutes away is St. Armands Circle for loads of shopping and dining fun. Have I mentioned gorgeous Whitney Beach is
just a short walk away? It is not uncommon to view dolphin and manatee if you watch carefully.

Built when they knew how to build featuring Gorgeous Southern Longleaf Pine Floors, Tongue and Groove paneling throughout, and large windows
to watch for peacocks.

restaurants and beach shops.
Heading South you are a short bike ride or 2 mile walk from Joan M. Durante Park, Recipient of '1998 Outstanding Ecosystem Restoration Award' with
winding plank trails overlooking Sarasota Bay and a great kids playground. Mote Marine Laboratory invites you to observe Florida sea life including dolphins, manatees, and seahorses.
Sarasota is just over the bridge from St. Armands Circle with theaters, opera, symphony, museums and art galleries, and, if you time it right, the Pittsburg Pirates train in nearby Bradenton.

Longboat Key rental house

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

A pleasant house with a nice outdoor area

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!

Labor Day Weekend

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!
