Our stay at Sea Grape Inn Condo #8 was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how incredibly spacious and clean the unit was. It’s clear the owners take immense pride in maintaining this property; it felt less like a rental and more like a home-away-from-home.The condo’s layout is fantastic, but the highlight is the large screened-in balcony overlooking the beach. We spent every morning watching the waves and every evening watching the sunset.The property itself is a dream for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway. We loved having access to the private pool, which was well-maintained and never crowded. The beautiful beach was just steps away. The water was consistently calm and clear, making it perfect for swimming although it was a bit cool in December.While the location feels secluded and private, it is incredibly convenient. It’s an easy drive to upscale dining and shopping in downtown Sarasota and to the laid-back, colorful vibes of Anna Maria Island.If you are looking for a relaxing, high-quality beachfront experience on Longboat Key, look no further than Condo #8 at the Sea Grape Inn. We’re already counting the days until we can return!

Our family of four just returned from a 4-night stay the Sea Grape Inn (unit #5) and we really enjoyed it! The location can’t be beat, as it’s right in the heart of quiet Longboat Key while being just down the road from the more bustling Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island. Our unit was steps from the pool and an easy walk to the peaceful, private beach. When I say private, I really mean it—there were days we basically had the whole stretch of beach to ourselves! We had never experienced this level of privacy on a beach anywhere we’ve travelled before, and this was the heart of the summer—amazing! Elsewhere, the unit was roomy, its beds were comfy, the kitchen appliances were fantastic, and we had a great view of the pool and ocean from the balcony. The included beach chairs and umbrellas were also a nice touch. We had to ask Wanda for a few things during our stay and she was helpful and friendly.If I can make a few minor complaints that could improve the stay for the next guests, I would first say our unit (#5) was fairly barebones in terms of provisions. We had very little in the way of extra toilet paper, paper towels, or trash bags, leading to a grocery delivery order after just a couple of days. We also had very few extra towels and beach towels. There were also a few burned out light bulbs, lamps not plugged into anything, and a bit of a sketchy electrical/power strip setup in the primary bedroom. Again, the above issues were minor and definitely wouldn’t prevent us from staying here again. In fact, we are looking forward to coming back!

We stayed in #1 Sea Grape Inn and I would absolutely rent this unit again! It was perfect for a girls’ weekend and would suit a family as well. Very clean, up to date unit with everything you need. Quiet complex directly on the beach and stunning sunset views right from your lanai. Wonderful shopping and restaurants nearby. Already looking to rent this unit again next year!

I stayed in Unit 1 and everything about it was perfect. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for a great girls trip. The living space was perfect and the bedrooms had plenty of space. It is right on the beach and the view was fantastic!! I loved having my coffee on the lanai overlooking the beach. I would highly recommend this unit!

Beautiful ocean front view in unit 1. Clean and pleasant environment. Spacious rooms, nice kitchen, great space overall. Great beach access and lovely furnished outdoor lanai to enjoy the view. Located near a lot of great restaurants and shops. Loved Harry’s restaurant and Sips coffee shop.
