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.

Review

1) Location is great / beach in back yard2) Hosts were very responsive / any minor issues they took care of right away / same day. That being said, I felt there were way too many warnings both in emails and stickers around the place, as in "don't steal the towels", "if umbrella flies off we'll charge you", "if you don't comply with check out instructions we'll charge you" etc. 3) giving 4 stars overall as the place itself still needs a bit work - 1 tiny tv in living room (none in bedroom), 1 night stand in bedroom (not 2 on ea bed side), 1 el. outlet in entire bedroom, across from the bed.. Also, while walls are not paper thin, you'll still hear neighbors - if you want to get up say 10am but neighbors are up 7am you'll be probably up with them.. Again overall great potential / due to location but they should invest some more in the building

Host's response:

We love this little property because it is so rare to walk out the backdoor and be on the sand. Thank you for crediting us with being responsive and dedicated to making things right! We aim for a 5-star experience for every one of our guests. Of course it's hard to please everyone but, we try! I understand your thoughts on the signs- especially the umbrella is actually a major safety concern in Florida- a windy day and umbrellas can be dangerous so there is some special attention needed there. We work hand in hand with these homeowners to make happy vacations possible. Your feedback about the signs, TV and nightstand will be discussed. Thank you Nikolay and hope you come back soon, the beach will be waiting! The SkyRun Sarasota Team

Enjoyed the location to the beach, beach chairs and especially the sliding glass doors that fully opened the room to the pationot shown in pics so was an added surprise. Appreciated that they allowed us in an hour early since the cleaning was done early and our flight arrived early. Will definitely stay again with Sky Run.

Host's response:

Thank you so much for that wonderful review Tonia. We strive for you and all of our guests to have a 5-star vacation! The SkyRun Sarasota Team
