Las Hermanas Oasis

Situated on the pristine shores of Longboat Key beach, Las Hermanas stands as a timeless retreat, embodying the essence of Old Florida coastal charm. Once known as the Starfish Motel over 30 years ago, this idyllic haven was aptly renamed "The Sisters" in homage to the owner's four daughters, who frolicked on these sands as little girls and continue to create cherished memories with their extended families today.

This beachfront oasis comprises four individual and fully equipped accommodations, including two cozy studios and two spacious one-bedroom retreats. The allure of Las Hermanas lies not only in its familial history but in its direct connection to the Gulf of Mexico, offering guests a front-row seat to the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf.
A large paved patio beckons guests to unwind and revel in the coastal splendor, with private beach access, sun loungers, grills, and outdoor dining furniture creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and camaraderie. Conveniently located close to shops, restaurants, and a grocery store, Las Hermanas invites visitors to immerse themselves in the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility, ensuring an unforgettable retreat on the sun-kissed shores of Longboat Key.

Longboat Key Life

Once a vacation land of the Timucuan and Caloosa Indians, Longboat Key is a quieter gulf-side retreat located between Lido Key and Anna Maria Island along Florida's southwest coast. The barrier island is surrounded by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. The island's eastern shoreline is covered in mangroves with hidden canals and marinas. On the western shoreline, you can walk for miles on the white sandy beaches and swim in the gentle gulf. Imagine spending your days beachcombing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, golfing, or cycling along the island's winding bike path.

Longboat Key is known for its abundance of dining options. With the Gulf and Sarasota Bay in its backyard, many restaurants focus on serving local, fresh seafood while visitors enjoy amazing waterfront views.

Just south and across the bridge is bustling St. Armand's Circle, a popular destination filled with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and tropical landscaped courtyards. Head north on Longboat Key, cross the Longboat Pass bridge, and find yourself on Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. This area offers gorgeous, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, fun waterfront bars, restaurants and a variety of shops.

The location of the property was perfect, he bed was comfortable and plenty of parking. Had troubles during the stay, waking up the code pad on the front door. There was a broken chair left in the unit. I sent a message and they responded immediately. All in all I did enjoy my stay.
