A new metal roof is currently being installed with no assessments to owners. The condo also features a new A/C system in 2025, and a hot water heater installed in 2026. This unit has never been a rental, only used by owner and their family for past 23 years, it is in pristine condition! One of the few complexes on Longboat Key offering a two-week minimum rental policy, Cedars West also welcomes owners with large pets. Enjoy a short walk to excellent restaurants, pubs, and shopping. Enjoy the Art Festival and shops on St Armands Circle a few minutes down the Key. Some furnishings may be available for purchase outside of the contract. If you are looking for a beautifully updated Gulf-front retreat where you can skip the renovations and immediately enjoy the best of Longboat Key living, this is a must see!
