Welcome to your perfect coastal escape in the heart of Cedars East on Longboat Key, Florida! Professionally managed by Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals, this chic,  playful, and stylish 3-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhome is nestled in one of the island’s most sought-after communities—offering a unique blend of tropical charm, resort-style amenities, and a peaceful coastal atmosphere.

Step into island living with the second floor as your main living space, thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection. Relax on the queen-size pull-out sofa, or step out onto the screened-in lanai where you can sip your morning coffee while soaking in the serene, lush surroundings. The dining area comfortably seats up to seven, making it the perfect setting for family meals and lively conversations. Just adjacent, the kitchen offers four barstools, ample counter space, and all the essentials for preparing your favorite family dishes and beach-day snacks.

Upstairs, the third level features both bedrooms. The primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a king-size bed,  breathtaking views of the tropical landscape, and an attached, spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities and a spacious walk-in shower. The second bedroom includes a queen-size bed with a twin trundle, a TV, and generous closet space—ideal for guests or kids to unwind in comfort.

What truly sets this home apart is the incredible Cedars East community. Located on the bay side of Longboat Key, Cedars East offers a lifestyle like no other—with a heated junior Olympic-size pool,  tennis courts,  boardwalks through mangrove-lined nature trails,  bike paths, and a bayside fishing pier. You’ll love the lush, well-manicured grounds, and how close you are to the gulf beaches,  boutique shopping, and local dining that Longboat Key is famous for.

Whether you're planning to spend your days exploring the beach, relaxing poolside, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the natural surroundings, this charming Cedars East getaway is the perfect island retreat.
