Affordable and beautiful all at the same time. 1 unit has been remodeled and is great, another is great but needs attention, be aware that some are better than others there, can't beat location and on Longboat key.

Very nice, clean unit, well equipped with all that was needed. Stayed in ground floor unit but could still see the water. Loved the screen porch. Situated near fine restaurants. Great experience. Would go again.

We spent a long birthday weekend here just recently and were very impressed at this place! Older units and building, but very well kept and spotless upon arrival. The beach is literally right out the back door! A lot of places say they are "on the beach", and many of those are not actually right on the beach. This place is. Although next to a high-rise building, it feels very low-key and just very pleasant. We would totally stay here again! Only downside, very sparse on the supplies (no salt, just pepper; two rolls of TP per bathroom, no paper towels, no bottle opener, etc). But for all the positives

Our 1st time at LaPlaya and we absolutely loved it! The unit was fully equipped with everything one will need for a beach vacation! The two ladies in the office were super nice, professional and accommodating, we had some difficulties with the AC unit and they immediately scheduled a tech to arrive and check on the system. We will be back!

The rental agent was quite rude. I had seen the listing on VRBO for a rental and the rental agent questioned my doing so. Not only did she berate me she emphasized how Longboat Key is quite safe and everyone know everyone. That wasnt my point at all! I was checking to be sure the VRBO ad was legitimate. I have stayed in Longboat Key numerous times and Im very familiar with the area. The rental agent was extremely rude. Shes not doing LaPlaya any justice with an attitude like this to potential customers. Extremely disappointed and will search elsewhere. Charlene McCarthy
