We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Longboat Key! Rick was very responsive and helpful making sure our stay was perfect. The condo was beautiful and the view was stunning! We would love to come back again.
Perfect vacation house. Exactly as described. Absolutely no complaints. Location is amazing. House is wonderful! Well stocked and so clean. Pool right outside your door was great with all the privacy you could ask for.
"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!"

Condo made us feel like we were at home. Rick and his staff at Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals did their normal great job of being available when needed and is by far the best agency in the rental business. The condo condition, location and provided essentials were excellent and highly recommended. We have already rented for 4 months in 2026 and look forward to our upcoming visits. After four years of renting in the LBK area, we have finally found our forever rental when available.
We have rented from Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals for the past two years and Rick has been very responsive, positive and extremely helpful when needed, which has not been that often! We would highly recommend using his organization for rentals.
We have had excellent service from Rick, and enjoyed our stays on Longboat Key. The apartments are clean, well-equipped and the service from Rick is excellent. Iris
Extremely happy with our stay at BeachPlace. The condo was very clean and all utilities needed for a comfortable stay were there. Being an older couple, we found access to the beach and to the pool within a easy walk.
Being beachfont, the views are amazing especially for sunset.
BUT, what made this stay at BeachPlace most comfortable and pleasant was the
earnest desire and immediate on going attention Rick provided. Rick was accommodating and resourceful throughout our stay. It was obvious he cared to make our stay relaxing and not eventful. Thank You Rick.
Hope to revisit next April.

We have had excellent service from Rick, and enjoyed our stays on Longboat Key. The apartments are clean, well-equipped and the service from Rick is excellent. Iris
Our third time renting here ( after having owned for over 20 years). Beautiful apartment with great views and fully equipped.
Excellent help from Rick for whom nothing was too much trouble
Highly recommended.
Rick,
Once again, my family and I had a wonderful time at Beachplace. You coordinated meeting my arrival schedule. Both places were great and totally met our expectations.
I look forward to coming again next year. Andy
A memorable stay on the Gulf Coast
Your Review: We spent February and March at Beachplace with a frontal view of the Gulf. There were endless sunsets. All of them different. We knew Beachplace well since we had owned a unit there for about 20 years. We were familiar with the pools, the gym, the pickle ball courts and more. The unit was well-equipped, light and easy to feel at home in.
Dealing with Rick was easy. From the beginning with all of the paperwork, to receiving necessary information upon arrival. There were no problems. When we had a few minor technical glitches in the beginning of our stay Rick was there immediately with hands-on help to resolve the issues. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, reliable and easy to deal with.
We would strongly recommend staying at Beachplace and doing business with Rick.
