“Repeat Stay”
Once again we had a great time in a beautiful condo. Everything was taking care just as promised without a single problem. We will probably rent it again next year for our third time. Do your family a favor and take advantage of this wonderful place.

“A special home in the perfect beach location!”
We stayed here in August and September 2024 and absolutely adored this home. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming, comfortable, and like the perfect beach getaway. The home is beautifully decorated with plenty of charm, yet spacious enough for everyone to spread out and relax. Everything was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and clearly cared for. One of our favorite features is the location. St. Armands Circle is just a block away, making it easy to walk to dinner, browse the shops, or grab a treat. There are so many wonderful restaurants nearby, and we felt completely comfortable letting the kids walk over for ice cream—which they loved. Having so much within walking distance made our stay feel effortless and relaxed. The beach is only a short walk away and absolutely stunning. Between the beach and the pool, our kids were in heaven! When we wanted to explore farther, downtown Sarasota was just a quick trip across the bridge. What we loved most was how quickly the home made us feel at ease. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, unwind, and simply enjoy time together. Our stay exceeded our expectations, and we left with wonderful family memories. We can’t wait to return!

“Our vacation in Longboat Key”
Unit 301 in Building 3 at Beach Place. As usual, Rick did an outstanding getting the unit ready for us and attending to questions we had during our stay which were very few. The unit has a great view of the Gulf and the Pool area, very close to both and well worth the price we paid. We were able to check in a day early and also stayed an extra week which was handled by Rick in a very professional and timely manner. we highly recommend this location and also recommend using Rick and Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals for any rental arrangements in the future.

“Rick's place was just lovely – very clean, spacious and uncluttered. All amenities were top-notch! The kitchen was well stocked, making us feel like we were home. There were also plenty of linens – both bath and bed as well as pool towels. Rick was very accommodating in helping us get in early, he was proactive, warm, friendly and responsive. Couldn't ask for more!”

“Perfect”
This place is absolutely perfect. Incredibly spacious with a beautiful kitchen perfect for a large family getaway. We slept 8 comfortably here. The house is a very short walk from St Armands circle which is full of bice restaurants/shopping and a 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

“Outstanding vacation!”
Your Review: Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals has been an outstanding service for our vacation needs. We have used this company multiple times and each time the service has been perfect from start to finish. Rick is great to deal with. He makes sure all of your needs are met from the very beginning. The communication is great, very strong attention to detail, and Rick is very easy to reach and responsive if there are any needs. We recently stayed at Beachplace building 3, unit 205. The condo was awesome. Extremely clean, spacious, and had everything you could want. It was fully stocked with kitchen appliances, bath needs, beach towels, extra bedding, and plenty more. I highly recommend using Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals. It’s nice to know you don’t have to stress when it comes to planning vacation. They do it all for you. I can’t wait until our next vacation! Thank you Rick and all for making our vacation so pleasant!

“The perfect place for a girls getaway.”
Lido Bliss was the perfect place for a girls getaway. We had the best time at this gorgeous home! There are beautiful views of the ocean and the city, easy access to the Beach Club across the street, every amenity you can think of, plus easy walkability to St. Armand’s Circle. Perfection! We had the best, most relaxing time and are so happy to have stayed there. Thank you
