This cabana is a perfect spot for relaxation! It was very clean and we loved the way it was decorated… So cute and so modern. The cabana was equipped with everything we needed. Every morning we sat with our coffee and watched the manatees play in the canal. The outdoor seating was so comfortable and clean. We just had to cross the street to get to the ocean… It was wonderful. The owner, Michaela, was very responsive and very easy to communicate with. We would come back and stay here definitely.

January Stay on Longboat

We originally had a different unit on a canal but the unit was not ready due to two recent hurricanes. The owner Michaela reached out to let us know and offered to put us in a bigger unit for the same price as we had paid. This was our second year at Cabana Beach and we will definitely be back. The unit we stayed in was clean, beachy and well appointed. Can’t imagine all the island has gone through with these storms. It was nice to be there!!

Relaxing in Longboat Key

We enjoyed our morning coffee out on the canal with the manatees every morning. The place was clean and in a beautiful setting. The owner was responsive and prompt to solve the missing blender by delivering another to our door. We would love to stay here again.

Great spot for a weekend getaway

The cabana was perfectly placed for our visit. It was clean and very comfortable. Having the beach across the road was quite convenient for us. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Longboat Key in the future. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Manatee Magnet

This property is awesome and perfect for a couples get away. Conveniently nestled between a channel and the Gulf, we must have seen 20 manatee in 5 days. The only draw back is the bed. It's hard and the bedding is not comfortable. It made sleeping stressful. With this said, I would not hesitate to come back to this property at all and would perhaps buy or bring something to make the bed more comfortable.
