How Do I Find A Place To Live In Longboat Key? (Sarasota: apartments, to rent)

[Phriend]

Longboat Key looks like a really nice place to live. But.... does anyone actually live there.... or is more of a place for tourists?

I could hardly find any places to rent on Craigslist in Longboat Key. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find a place there?

Thanks!

Renting or buying? I work on LBK and really, it's not a Craig's List type of place.

You'd be better off looking online in the classifieds of the Longboat observer as well as the Sarasota Herald Tribune.

It's a very laid back island. There's three shopping plazas: Whitfield Beach, The Centre Shops & Bay Isles, where there's a Publix & CVS anchoring down the plaza. There's only one gas station on the south end of the island.

Sorry.... I meant studios, apartments, etc.
