“8 105”
This is the third time we’ve stayed at Beachplace but the first time at 8-105. We had a wonderful time thank you. Magnificent view from the living area and master bedroom. The condo is spacious, clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The view looks directly onto The Gulf with steps down to the beach and we were delighted to see dolphins/pelicans/Osprey and a host of other wildlife on a daily basis. A lovely swimming pool and hot tub. Rick is always on hand for anything you may need and does a great job. A ten minute car ride to St Armand’s Circle where there’s plenty of restaurants/bars and shops to choose from. Beachplace is a great place to chill out. We’ve already made a reservation for next year so we highly recommend it.

“VRBO Review "Wow!"”
Beyond our wildest dreams, this place is just like Heaven, the beach, the facilities, the residence, clearly Ritz Carlton experience.

“Seasonal Rental at Beachplace”
This was our sixth year renting a unit through Rick and our first year at Beachplace. We could have not been more pleased. The unit had an excellent location, was clean and very well maintained. There were activities at the complex almost every day including the annual golf outing at the Longboat Key Club. We immediately signed a lease for next year and cannot wait to come back.

“A special home in the perfect beach location!”
We stayed here in August and September 2024 and absolutely adored this home. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming, comfortable, and like the perfect beach getaway. The home is beautifully decorated with plenty of charm, yet spacious enough for everyone to spread out and relax. Everything was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and clearly cared for. One of our favorite features is the location. St. Armands Circle is just a block away, making it easy to walk to dinner, browse the shops, or grab a treat. There are so many wonderful restaurants nearby, and we felt completely comfortable letting the kids walk over for ice cream—which they loved. Having so much within walking distance made our stay feel effortless and relaxed. The beach is only a short walk away and absolutely stunning. Between the beach and the pool, our kids were in heaven! When we wanted to explore farther, downtown Sarasota was just a quick trip across the bridge. What we loved most was how quickly the home made us feel at ease. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, unwind, and simply enjoy time together. Our stay exceeded our expectations, and we left with wonderful family memories. We can’t wait to return!

This unit was wonderful! It is very comfortable to stay in this condo. Lots of towels and sheets. Kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed. Parking is convenient. Pool is heated and probably the best condominium community pool in the area! Sunrise is beautiful from the condo living room!! Sunsets are spectacular from the balcony or, even better, the beach. From this condo door, your toes are touching the sand in 5 minutes. The condo community is very friendly. We enjoyed ourselves so much at this condo that we will be returning. The condo management was easy to work with and very responsive. Definitely a great find!!

“Just Beautiful”
Thanks Rick Benninghove at Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals. Communication was excellent, with replies to questions within minutes, the check-in process was quick and seamless. The added information regarding the parking pass and local attractions was appreciated. The pictures online were beautiful and accurate- the condo itself is- just beautiful! Information inside the condo regarding local hospitals, the trash chute location, and turtle watch procedures were also appreciated. Overall an excellent experience! Thank you, my daughter and I hope to be back soon!
