A narrow stretch of barrier island bordered by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico on one side and Sarasota Bay on the other, Longboat Key is only about 11 miles long. Many visitors will also take a trip to Disney World, Universal Studios, or one of the many theme parks and destinations in the Orlando-Kissimmee area. Longboat Key provides an ideal beach and bayfront setting, far from traffic, noise and everyday hustle...a land of tasteful luxury and tempting quiet pleasures.
