Longboard Studio did not disappoint. The photos and descriptions are accurate. The view is as amazing as it looks and you will definitely hear the ocean, even with the lanai doors closed (might consider bringing earplugs in case the surf is up and/or you're a light sleeper). We saw whales flapping, breaching and puffing from the lanai, a few turtles at water's edge, dolphins in the bay out front and there is an amazing view of the sunsets.
There were a lot of beach items stocked in the chest on the lanai - snorkel gear, boogie boards, even some somewhat worn water shoes (which we wore out some more...) and beach towels. Check these items before you spend money renting. The bar height chairs at the railing are great and there are chaise lounges too that are comfortable.
The kitchen has several rice cookers, a blender, coffee pot, ice cube trays, basic dishes, a few leftover seasonings from other guests. There's a medium sized cooler.
The Murphy bed is comfortable and the pull out couch bed is the only one we've ever slept on that feels like a regular bed, not a sofa bed with a bar in the middle! The stereo has a blue tooth connection so you can play your own music but there are a lot of music cd's and a few movies too. We didn't need the A/C but it's nice to have; the ceiling fan was enough. Be sure to close the blinds if you leave for the day, the sun beams in and heats the place up in the afternoon, at least in winter!
The property is well maintained, the gas grills are in the middle common area, by the pool. Check this area early in your stay. We didn't and realized someone had left a huge amount of apple bananas (which we LOVE) for the taking and there's lots of information there, books and sometimes staff if you need them.
There were a few minor issues in the unit, but know that Barry is on top of it and really does his best to make everything comfortable and right. None of the issues were significant enough to prevent us from staying here again though, especially since they are all fixable. I know Barry was in process of remedying them all. In our experience, you won't find a more involved, concerned and proactive host.
