Located on a barrier island just off the coast of Sarasota in the Gulf of Mexico is paradise, Longboat Key.

Eleven miles of golden beachfront provides the ideal location for that special romantic get-away or honeymoon, or even a family togetherness vacation.

With a population of only 8,000 permanent residents, and the absence of t-shops, noisy traffic, mini-malls, fast food outlets, neon signs and everything else that is horrendous in many beachfront communities.  On the other side of the recreation spectrum, world-famous Longboat Key boasts refined restaurants, golf and lovely beaches. Longboat Key well deserves its reputation as the perfect setting for the ultimate in second home.
