About this property
NO REGRETS -Bright beautiful sunny home. Elevator beside driveway to upstairs.
We have a private laneway to our own piece of beautiful sugar sand, longboat key beach.
We adjoin 35 acres of park and walk trails and bay lookouts nearby.
EASY ACCESS VIA a new, fully enclosed ELEVATOR, WHICH PROVIDES FOR EASY ACCESS FROM beside the GARAGE TO ALL THE LIVING AREAS!
If you have an EV we have a 2 phase EV CHARGER built into the garage so you can RECHARGE OVERNIGHT!
Over an acre of lawns joining to 35 acres of park and walk trails.
NEW flexible booking terms;)
Say Hello to NO rEGRETS! Light, bright Florida furnishings, original paintings and comfortable appointments, all combine to create a vacation location to remember.
This spacious, pet friendly, three-bedroom, three-bathroom, vacation home is ideally located mid island on Gulfbay Drive, with 180 yards to the beach and 150 yards to the tranquil waters of the bay, surrounded by the 35 acres of Joan Durante park .
An entertainer's paradise - this home includes a large private patio and private fenced pool with multiple dining areas, a fire-pit and park views. This is a "state of the art" SOLAR HOME with solar power to the grid and backup battery power for the TV and Internet. 150 MB Broadband WiFi throughout. (Very handy if the island power goes out)
With a quick 5 minute walk to the beach via your own deeded private access to the beautiful sugar sands of Longboat Beach or a walk through the park out the back door, to the tranquil quiet bay, you can surf in the morning and kayak in the afternoon!
No beach crowds or noisy beach traffic or parking problems at No Regrets!
Out the back door, Joan Durante Park with its 35 acres of walking trails, grassy picnic areas and children's playground is dog friendly and perfect for walks, BBQs or just riding bikes and playing games.
NO rEGRETS is named affectionately after our local friend, Eddie the Egret. You will see him walking along the front lawn or across the road looking for food.
Longboat Key is only 3 feet above sea level, so NO REGRETS was wisely designed with a "key west like" elevated floorplan..you can enjoy the beaches and tropical atmosphere without the worry of flooding! A fast elevator carries guests, baggage and shopping quickly upstairs to the main living area.
With an open elevated floor plan, the garage and pool, bathroom, bar, hot tub and BBQ are on the first floor and the living and patio areas on the second floor, together with an elevated deck overlooking the pool (with BBQ and dining table and chairs), this light and airy home has bright colors and comfortable furnishings including a large screen UHD 3D TV for the days when the beach is too windy or too hot and a DVR so you can keep up with the shows you simply can't miss!
Small dogs (<50 lbs) are welcome, so bring your best friend:) Just trim their nails;)
The home has solar power backup and 150mps broadband internet for gamers. Security cameras are located on the side stairs, front porch and pool/ spa areas to provide security for the property when its unoccupied. We dont record the video from these cams.
The one interior cam in the family room is disabled unless the alarm is activated.
BBQ facilities downstairs by the heated pool and a covered hot tub and patio with serving bar and bathroom, simplify outdoor living, even if the weather is showery!
WiFi is available throughout the home and around the heated, lighted pool; a UHD TV, DVR and DVD is also available in the family room, Master bedroom and 2nd bedroom as well, so the kids/ teens can watch their programs, without disturbing adults entertaining.
After an afternoon at the beach, cool off with a quick spray from the outdoor shower before jumping into your private fenced in pool or if you have been playing tennis or fishing- come home and relax in the 28 jet hot tub! A convenient downstairs bathroom is nearby.
Or you can enjoy snacks and drinks from the serving bar before heading upstairs for dinner or to nearby restaurants.
If you're in the mood for something finer, Longboat Key's famous 5 star Euphemia Haye restaurant is only a 100 yard walk away down Gulfbay Rd and the Center Shops has excellent seafood and italian restaurants also available, less than 1/2 a mile away.
If you want to relax before dinner; have a cocktail on the upstairs deck, while you watch the kids swim below in the pool or join them in the hot tub.
NO rEGRETS has almost everything you'd need for a spectacular, safe and enjoyable Florida vacation memory.
IT JUST NEEDS YOU!
We pride ourselves on our guests repeat stays and offer repeat guest discounts!

Why they chose this property
Longboat Key is a beautiful sand island, 3ft above MSL.
We wanted a home that was elevated and close to the beach but not ON the beach. During the hurricanes we have no flooding or damage! In the winter months the public beaches can be congested and the traffic noise can be a problem. NO rEGRETS however has NO ROAD NOISE, has a deeded PRIVATE ACCESS to its own stretch of beach and backs onto a beautiful 35 acre dog friendly park, with trails and play areas and shade, with bay vistas. You can swim at the beach, have lunch by your private pool and a glass of champagne watching the sunset across the sea!
Sarasota is only 20 mins away and provides excellent cultural facilities ( Museums, live theatre) and top class medical support.

What makes this property unique
8 Minutes to beach and bay, our bright airy house is flooded
with sunlight.
With a swing on the front porch to enjoy the afternoon sunsets, tropical hibiscus and bouganvillea by the stairs and a safe elevated living area, free of seasonal flooding.
The heated private pool, luxurious 28 jet hot tub, comfortable patio furniture, dual BBQs and fire pit; all can be overlooked from the rear deck adjoining the kitchen and dining area, so adults can enjoy an afternoon cocktail whilst watching their children enjoying themselves in the pool below. Accommodation for 8 PLUS two puppy dogs, means the whole family can come on vacation and be occupied in the multiple entertainment zones of the house or on the beach or in the park. Older guests can take advantage of the elevator to whisk themselves upstairs and grocery shopping is simplified with the elevator only 10ft from the car. All the living area is on one elevated level at No rEgrets!
