When my wife and I booked this resort, I did not expect much. Boy, I was wrong. This is a great laid back beach resort. It is not fancy, no valet service or lobby shop but it is 100 feet from the beach. Suggest you get a room on the Gulf side. The beach is great, beautiful sand and water.... More

The view is priceless! The ocean is very aqua blue outside your window, often with dolphin sightings. Accommodations very comfortable, kitchens very user friendly with microwave oven ,full size refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. Outdoor gas grills available. Activities available such as beach side pool table, tennis, shuffleboard, and bikes. Laundry also accessible. Large private beach is awesome, quiet pool also... More

The units are perhaps a little old but extremely clean and spacious. The atmosphere around the complex is laid back and just what you would want for a relaxing holiday. The other reviews cover the beach, tennis court etc. The pool is heated and 8ft deep at one end and not too small. The BBQ area is spacious although the... More

We stayed in Longboat Key a couple of years ago in an on-the-beach location, but decided to stay at Gulf Tides this time based on positive reviews and amenities. We are thoroughly pleased. Our unit is on the second floor of the units that are not on the beach side and while we don't get a full view of the... More

We would stay again! It's a quaint little resort with comfortable condos, a variety of amenities for the whole family and views that are PRICELESS!! It's also within close proximity to lots of shops and eateries. This is a must-visit vacation destination!!

Wish we could get an RCI trade here next Feb! Staff is friendly, responsive, pleasant and approachable. Our week stay was a taste of paradise.Murphy beds are so comfortable! Full kitchen and spacious units allow for "at home" cooking/dining. Gulf side view lends to total relaxation and rejuvenation. Sunsets are beautiful. Ideal heated pool and depth for swimming are other... More

The beautiful beach is the key to this condo. This is not a resort, it is a hotel type set up, with a building on one side of the main road with pool, tennis court and grill area (no great views) and 2 buildings on the beach side, one 2 story with multiple units and one which has 2 units... More

We were fortunate enough to be in Studio Unit 101 which is truly ON THE BEACH, meaning open your door, take two steps outside, and your toes are in the sand! Dining at the small table next to the huge window that faces the calm waters of the gulf was so wonderful. I also need to mention that the murphy... More

Gulf Tides at Longboat Key is situated close to the famous St. Armand's Circle for shopping and restaurants, Sarasota for the urban element. There is so much to do! Also, head further down the keys for more great restaurants, more beaches and more beautiful scenery. Fishing, golf, boat rentals, theater, or just a cruise to see the beautiful homes and... More
