Outrigger Resort by RVA

Longboat Key is gorgeous, and we’ve been vacationing here for years. This was our first time at the Outrigger. We had a 1 bedroom, 1 bath unit. It needs some care, but it was clean except for the raw chicken left in the garbage disposal. That was icky!||The appliances do not work well. The coffee maker and toaster should be replaced. The toilet paper holder is barely hanging on the wall and the shower handle is loose. Some furniture is nice but other pieces are in need of replacement, especially the couch and the mattress on the bed was not super comfy. WiFi is non existent - they claim it’s here but we found that hard to believe. ||The pool area and beach chairs appear super old and many are damaged. The pool deck and pool - no clue if anyone was cleaning. It did not appear to be the cas

Spent 2 perfect weeks at Outrigger Unit #8 ! Unit was spotless and very well equipped! Plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels and extra sheets for a 2 week stay...kitchen well equipped with everything you need. Grills outside and a gorgeous view from the lanai... Lots of beach toys were also available ....just perfect! Smooth check in with RVA! Highly recommend!! There is a coin operated laundry on premises however it only accepts quarters (lots of them)....a machine that makes change would be a nice addition since really no one carries change these days!

Stayed in Unit in Sept. 2018 during "red tide". But, no dead fish smell, beach was great. Very nice modern unit. Met the pool tech while swimming in it. He is very meticulous in checking the water quality and checking filters. Super clean and no chlorine smell. (He explained why). Units are right on the beach. Very short trail walk (about 30 ft.) through the beach garden to get to the sand and ocean. All balconies are screened in so no bugs. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. and new looking appliances. Nice furniture, very comfortable bed. Good WiFi and cable TV. Very friendly staff. If I could afford it, I would just rent the place for the whole year. Was sad to have to leave. - John from Indiana

I stayed at the outrigger unit 4 with my newborn baby, husband and mom. We were excited because we thought it would look exactly like the pictures. |It turned out to be one of the most disgusting stays I have ever encountered. Below is a list of issues that I reported to RVA management. after we tried having our issues fixed by the cleaning people multiple times, my mom wouldn’t continue to stay with us because her room was still dirty and she was getting bug bites throughout the night in her bed. |Floors filthy|Food on fridge|Dried blood on bed sheets|Bedsheets smelled like sour milk|Bugs in beds - got attacked throughout the night|No wifi|Dishes put away dirty|Dishwasher had broken soap dispenser |Blinds missing from window in all rooms|Missing ceiling fan in master- stored in closet|* W

We stayed in unit 4 and it was excellent. Keep in mind you are not at the Ritz. This is a seaside low-rise building which was probably constructed in the 1960s or 70s. It looks and feels like it is from days gone by but if you embrace the laid back style you'll love it! Our unit was on the ground floor with a big bedroom, living room and a well stocked kitchen. We had cable TV in the bedroom and living room along with all the supplies you'd want; towels, linens and toiletries. The best thing is the fact that the patio meets the sand of the beach. You could probably throw a stone and hit the water from the patio! Nice sand and the warmest ocean water I've ever been in. The only downside was it wasn't close to our relatives who were not on LBK. But maybe that was a good thing, ha!
