Great spot

This property was perfect for us oldies. We enjoyed the pool and the beach a lot, and were also happy to have 2 TV's so we could each choose our favorite shows. The kitchen is well equipped and the grocery stores are nearby. There are also lots of dining possibilities nearby. We were happy to have the laundry there as well, so we didn't have to bring too many clothes.

Perfect Solo Destination

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the condo! I decided very last minute to book the unit and work from there (I'm working from home during the COVID crisis) and it was the perfect place to do just that. Jenny is extremely easy to work with and communicate with when needing anything or with any questions. The location cannot be beat and is literally steps from the beach (nice to wake up to a view of the beach every morning!). The unit is equipped with anything and everything you need. My only two "less than five star" comments are 1) the unit was clean but I had to vacuum the first day upon arrival after finding long hair(s) throughout the condo which wasn't a great welcome and 2) the wifi situation isn't quite ideal as the internet router is in the adjacent condo unit which is owned by Jenny. While not her fault at all, the internet did go out probably 5-6 times during my stay which wasn't ideal considering I was working from the unit and on conference calls and webinars all day long. Each time, I had to go next door and reset the router which wouldn't have seemed like such a task had the router been in this actual unit. That being said, however, I would absolutely return and rent the condo again!!! I enjoyed the stay and hope to be back in the future.

Recreation by the sea

Beautiful apartment in a beautiful place. Quietly not overwhelmed with people. A bit like in a dream. If you are looking for recreation, this is the right place for you.

Fabulous Beach Stay

We cannot say enough positive feedback for our stay at Whitney Beach condo. The owner, Jenny, was very responsive. The condo was clean and had all necessities for our stay. It was right on the beach with easy walk out back sliders to beach and pool. Fabulous soft white sand with lots of shells. Easy access to market, restaurants, and shopping. Definitely will stay here again!

Why they chose this property

Longboat Key is paradise! We looked around a long time before we decided on Whitney beach. It is so private and peaceful. We have a relaxing condo on the beach and we appreciate the closeness to restuarant's, shops and culture on Longboat Key, Anna-Maria island, St. Armand's circle and Sarasota.
