Beautiful condo and location
Our family was so pleased with this condo and location. It was very clean, well appointed, updated and literally steps to the beach. Great set up for our adult family and toddler grandchild. We worked with a local baby equipment rental company to get the additional things we needed for the baby - with all the stairs, 3 child gates are a must if you have a toddler. RVA was attentive to our needs throughout the process. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome vacation
We had a fabulous week with our family. The location is perfect, the beach is beautiful, with white sand and very few people. The appartement is very clean, completely renovated with everything you need ( kitchen with all the tools you need to cook at home) and has its private access to the beach. The swimming pool is clean and the kids enjoyed alternating beach and swimming pool. There are a lot of restaurants and activities to do nearby ( 10min driving) Great place!!

Loved the location and the condo was beautiful. The 2 levels were perfect for our multi-generational family of 6. This was the most well-stocked kitchen we have ever had the pleasure of cooking in. Great to have lots of beach towels along with all the beach goodies in the outdoor cabinet. Thoroughly enjoyed our time on the main deck area as well as the upstairs balcony.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was a bit crowded for us, great location though.
Easy rental portal. Confusing when we checked in, sent us a code, however, unit wasn’t very clean. Dirty diaper under bed, toilets and showers needed a better scrubbing, area rugs dirty. For the rental price, it was sub par. The rental agency was very nice.

Wonderful Stay!
My family had a wonderful stay at La Playa. The property is well managed, accessible and fully stocked. Everything in the unit is to advertised and updated. The views are unbeatable and the access to the beach is so convenient. Everyone we met at the property was kind and welcoming. The pool is in the back of units which is nice when you have heavy winds on beach. We received a nice message from the property manager before check in. It is about 15 steps up to the unit which is the only challenge with older people but we knew that going in.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was perfect. I am questioning why other units like the one we rented are a few thousand less. Also, cars without passes flooded the lot over the holiday weekend, making it very challenging to park for those of us that followed the rules.

Enjoy dinner with Sunset View right from your balcony
Beautiful property right on the beach. We loved the pictures on the web, but its even better life. Super clean, tastefully decorated. With direct accesss to the sand and water from the balcony. Private, quiet, exclusive. WholeFoods is within 20 minutes, Publix is even closer. Plenty of towels and beach towels. Beds are super comfy. Parking was always available.We absolutely loved everything. Highly recomend. Thank you for having us.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our unit was absolutely beautiful. Well furnished and beautifully decorated. We did have a couple of issues. The key code didn't work and this unit is not managed by the onsite office. Fortunately, the door was unlocked. But it was a pain to have to contact RVA to get the key code fixed. Also, the property has about 25 beach lounge chairs which is way too few for a 21 unit complex with at least 4 people per unit. Loved the location.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always love visiting Longboat Key! The weather was sunny and beautiful. Ocean was where you wanted to spend your time to cool off. We have stayed in this unit a year ago in April of 2001. Beautiful, updated unit unit. To be honest, i want you give you valuable feedback. I felt the unit wasn’t As clean on arrival. It smelled very musty. The sheets and towels were left in the dryer. I folded them. Two beddings I replaced as the sheets were dirty with hair and I assume food. The slider door was off the track. Also, the dishwasher was broken along with both shower drains were clogged. I called maintenance where they fixed the drains and slider. We never heard back on the dishwasher as he told us he’d make some calls. Not sure if you switched cleaning companies. Last year, the towels were even folded into cute animals. The pool chairs were never cleaned the whole week with debris from trees all over them. We did have a beautiful week but was disappointed on the number of things that were broke or not clean with the cost of a weekly rate compared to other units. I marked I would recommend based off last year not this year stay.

Wonderful location and rental property
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gorgeous beach . Updated, clean and airy rental. Perfect location. Warm and clean pool. Helpful management service. Quiet area and family friendly. Kids said their twin beds were uncomfortable but the king beds were very comfortable. Still everyone said they come again. It really is a lovely property, well run and in a great location. Sad to leave and eager to return!

The Ideal Vacation Destination!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This 3 bedroom / 2 bath condo is beautiful! Fully renovated, completely stocked (kitchen & linen closets), clean, comfortable, and just steps away from the beach. The floor plan is a bit unusual since the master bedroom (with the ensuite bathroom) is on the first floor. There is no other bathroom on the first floor. And the other large bedroom with the ocean front balcony & sitting area, (which "should" be the master bedroom)is on the second floor and shares a small bathroom with another bedroom. This was a bit of a surprise but we made it work.All in all we enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year. The RVA staff was very professional, friendly, organized and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Unit #203D at La Playa Condominiums on Longboat Key!

This condo was everything and more. It was perfect for small children with direct access to the beach and the pool! The kitchen was well stocked for all of the cooking that we did. The beds were incredibly comfortable as well. I can’t say enough great things - when you have small children the convenience of this condo was everything.
