About this property

Wonderful Canal Front Condo! See Manatees Right From Your Doorstep!Cabana #10

Welcome to Unit 10 at Cabana Beach Club, a beautifully renovated, exceptionally private bayfront condo located on iconic Longboat Key. This peaceful retreat sits directly on the bay, where you can watch manatees right from your doorstep, while the Gulf of Mexico’s stunning beaches are just across the street.

Cabana Beach Club is a boutique community of only 11 units, and this condo is part of the exclusive canal-side section with just three units, offering a truly quiet and private waterfront setting.

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo comfortably accommodates up to four guests, featuring a pullout sofa in the living room, a dining area, and a fully stocked kitchen. Step out onto the private patio with a cozy seating area, perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while enjoying tranquil bay views.

Modern comforts include smart TVs in every room, free Wi-Fi, and a washer and dryer inside the unit. Convenient parking is located right by the condo, and boat trailers can be accommodated—just confirm with the owner in advance.

Guests also enjoy access to a heated pool located on the beach side of the Club, as well as a nearby convenience store within walking distance.

Fresh, stylish, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you may need (and maybe a few things you don’t :)), Unit 10 is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and experience the best of bayfront and beachside living.

Traveling with family or friends? We own all three canal-side units—ask about Units 11 and 12 when planning a group or family stay.

Nicely updated unit. New appliances, new furniture, new decor. Clean & cozy, convenient location. Enjoyed fishing on the canal. 3 units on the canal side, 3 parking spots, so enough room for 1 car per unit. Nice neighbors, quiet and relaxing at night. Manatees by the dock every morning & evening. Walmart will deliver groceries to the unit or there's a Publix a few miles down street. We loved it and already planning our 2027 trip!

This was our second stay in this particular condo. It’s our favorite with just steps to the canal and plenty of manatee sightings, and the beautiful beach across the street with glorious sunsets and dolphins. The condo has been remodeled and had everything we needed. The decor is nice and comfortable. It’s also located near a grocery store and all of our favorite restaurants. We had perfect weather and look forward to returning.

Beautiful spot

The condo was just as it was pictured and described. The furnishings were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved being on the canal as it was quiet and relaxing. The outside sitting area was very comfortable and enjoyable. Beach access and pool were very convenient. I would highly recommend this spot.

Nice location, unit was comfortable

Lots of nice little touches - dish soap, laundry soap, tooth paste. Unit is on a canal, and yes I saw a Manatee. Main entrance is through the bedroom, which is slightly odd but otherwise the unit was great.

Hi Sheldon, thank you for your nice words. I’m really happy you had a great time. The entrance to the unit is from the water side (living room), as it is written in our instructions and on the VRBO app as well. Bedroom door is to access the patio only. Come back next year! Michaela

Window blind all damaged need replacement, shower stall has mold and water leak along sliding door. Outside furniture all dated and needs replacing. When you walk up to building you can tell it needs a refresher on the outside. Location is great, pool was OK, parking easy. Spend more on a cleaner and fresher interior and not so much spend on nix nacks.
