Choose a Rental That Fits Your Family

Casa Del Mar combines individually owned condominium residences with a beachfront resort setting on Longboat Key. A kitchen and living and dining space give families a home base for meals, downtime and a beach week together.

Start by comparing Casa Del Mar condo rentals. Check the individual unit’s maximum guest count, bedrooms, bathrooms, equipment and photos before reserving. Furnishings and layouts vary; choose the residence that fits your group rather than assuming every unit is the same.

Beachfront, Poolfront or Courtyard?

All three rental settings share direct beach access from the resort grounds without crossing a street. The setting describes the unit’s location; it does not mean every residence has the same view.

  • Beachfront rentals are in Buildings A and E, closest to the Gulf. Compare each unit’s floor, outlook and photos.
  • Poolfront rentals place your home base near the heated Gulf-facing pool.
  • Courtyard rentals offer another resort setting and may allow shorter stays during part of the year.

Use the resort map to compare the building and unit locations that interest you.

Resort Days With Less Driving

Families can alternate beach time and the shared heated pool, prepare meals in the rental and enjoy the resort’s courts and grills. Review the resort amenities and guest FAQ for practical details and policies before planning your stay.

Choose a few outings around your resort days instead of filling every hour. Our seven-night Longboat Key family itinerary offers a flexible week with beach time, Sarasota outings and indoor alternatives. The Area Guide has more local ideas.

How Many Nights Should We Book?

Beachfront and poolfront rentals have a seven-night minimum year-round. Courtyard rentals have a four-night minimum May through November and a seven-night minimum December through April and holidays. Check the published minimum-stay rules for your dates.

You may stay longer, subject to the selected unit’s availability. For a month or more, see our monthly and extended-stay rental guide. Existing pricing and standard terms apply, with no length-of-stay discounts.
