I am so surprised to see a negative review of this facility. My family has been staying here for the past 24 years. Each year we have added another weekend, another week or another holiday. We are thrilled to come back and see others who, like us, return again and again. We have watched each others families grow and multiply.... More

Our family routinely stays at this property every year and have have nothing but good things to say about it until today. Needed to rearrange our family reservations (change reservation names) and our room was given AWAY. We are canceling our family reservation and will NEVER return. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Worst service I have ever had.

We stayed in Cottage number two...right on the beach. Can't beat the location. Step out from the screened porch and you're on the sand! Great spot for families. Kids can play on the beach and you can watch from the porch, or vice versa. Longboat Key itself was nice if you're looking for a quiet spot on a really nice... More

We stayed at Sun 'n Sea 3 nights in February. Reminded me of when I was a kid staying with my folks. We stayed in a "motel-efficiency" unit, because the cottages were all booked. As others have said, it was nothing fancy, but we had a little kitchenette, and every unit even in the motel has it's own screened in... More

We love the Sun n' Sea!!! We have been going there for 7 yrs. now. It is a comfortable place on a quite beach. Each unit has a kitchen and it's own screened porch. The cottages also have a grill in the backyard.There are mostly cottages but some units in the main building are considered efficiencies. Nothing fancy but a... More

We go down often and we still want the beautiful cottages on this private beach all to ourselfs. If you tell folks about how wonderful the staff is,how beautiful the quite private beach is everyone's going to be staying there. Just because all the cottages have a full kitchen and grills to cook steaks on while your watching the sunset... More

as a kid our family vacationed on Longboat Key in the 50s and 60s. i thought those "old Florida" days were forever gone. BUT it's still alive, yes! at Sun and Sea! we stayed a week and didn't want to leave. the staff was fabulous, the room super clean, shuffle board lanes(remember that?) and we were just steps to the...

We found Sun n Sea on our way home to Tampa, FL from Sarasota, FL. We were looking for a resort that had the old Florida charm. (No lobbies to walk through, or full parking garages and no elevator rides to get to your room). Booked a three day weekend for a family get together and were completely satisfied. We... More

Stayed here one night in a twin efficiency. The decor is old, but that's part of the charm. Each room has a screened in porch and kitchen, which is very nice. The owners were very friendly and made a great recommendation for dinner. Our room was adjoining another family's room. They were very loud and the paper thin walls (and... More
