We have stayed further down, Lido multiple times, and being off the circle in the location was by far our favorite. Just a short walk to the beach, and an even shorter walk to the shops in the circle, so convenient! We will definitely be back!

Broken. Shredded umbrella unuseable...but property owners never get told and in honesty I got so busy trying to round people up to pack that I did not tell them either! The property was very clean. Close to all things. Easy to walk to the beach. Very comfortable for 4 of us. And quiet which we LOVE. Thank you property owners and VRBO for making this a great trip. The problem was that the lockbox was not on the door. And when we found it on the bottom of the rail, it took us many times to get it to open. And I've done lots of lockboxes in my time doing real estate, so perhaps it's the humidity! In any case, we got in and enjoyed it to the moon.

Loved the place- so clean!!! Only issue was lack of reply from mgmt company. I needed wifi for work and the password didn’t work. I placed numerous calls & no responses. If I didn’t have to work 2 days there, we wouldn’t have had any issues. Will definitely stay again!

The location of this property is fantastic! We have stayed at this property before but not this unit. The unit was on the second floor I don’t believe this was disclosed. Older condos so there is no elevator. The unit was just okay. Ants in the kitchen and bedroom. Mgmt was attentive and came out with traps. Light in kitchen which was attached to a fan didn’t work. Other light fixtures w/ burnt out bulbs. The beds had dips in them very uncomfortable.

You can’t beat the location! The condo was clean and had everything we needed. It could use an update and some TLC but it had the space that we needed with 2 little ones! Thank you for a great trip! We can’t wait to come back!

We had a lovely stay. The location to St. Armand’s Circle and the beach was so convenient. The unit was well stocked with linens and household items to make easy living. The grounds were clean and quiet and we appreciated that very much. The saltwater pool was warm and clean. We definately will look to return here!

Christy was Excellent to work with, she made the rental experience easy and comfortable. You never know when you are booking from one part of the country to another and she was knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. Not to mention, she was helpful when we had to evacuate because of the hurricane! RVA is lucky to have her!! Also, RVA gets huge points for comping us because we had to leave due to Ian! No refund but Christy helped with a credit for our next stay! RVA and Christy are the best - we will definitely book with them again!! 5 Stars!! Thank you Christy!! As for the condo, it had everything we needed, Nice Big condo, Perfect location, easy walk to the beach and almost too close to Kilwin's - yummy! Highly recommend!!

Perfect location! Felt very comfortable with my three younger children alone as the area is extremely safe and the grounds are well-cared for. Large enough unit to accommodate us and kitchen well stocked. As with most value rentals, updates are needed but everything was clean and comfortable and the community pool is very welcoming with staff that works the building, permanent tenants, and visitors. The balcony was a nice addition this year in front of a very amazing tree. Close to walk to beach, shops and restaurants. Easy parking. Easy check in and out. This is our second year back to same location because we enjoyed it so much.

Great family get away
My Family and I stayed at this quaint little condo and enjoyed the location very much. The condo reminds me of the Golden Girls and my grandmother’s house. The size of the space was great. Parking space was unclear the first night to us, but we realized our mistake after reading the binder in the living room. The pool area was beautiful and we enjoyed visiting with the other homeowners and guests. My only concern is that the bathroom fans did not work and in a humid environment it made the bathroom feel musty. I highly recommend the location and the price was great for our family.

Terrific property and location for our family vacation
Perfect location for our family vacation with young children. We were within walking distance of the beach and all the restaurants that St. Armand’s offers. The pool was nice and big and the kids had a blast. The condo itself isn’t huge, but we were only there to sleep (since we spent most of our time at the pool or beach) so the size was just right for our needs. The management company was extremely responsive before our stay and when we lost keys in the ocean mid-stay. Highly recommend this property!

This condo is in a wonderful location close to all St Armands has to offer, great restaurants and shops and beaches. However , the condo is let down by its old fashioned furniture, squeaky beds and stained carpets. I had booked a 5 week stay and was unable to relocate. With updating this could be a fabulous rental.

We walked in and were amazed by the size and how nice and clean everything was. The pictures did not do it justice, in fact I would update them to show how nice everything was. The location was great, town was literally a walk around the corner a 1 minute walk. The beach was tops a 5 minute walk away. We preferred south Lido beach as we had kids and the shell hunting was amazing. That was approximately a 5 minute drive away. The condo unit had everything we needed to make the week great. We did some cooking inside and found what we needed to make it work. I wish it would have listed that you had a beach chair and boogey board as I did not see that and we took our own. But they did have that along with some sand toys which was fantastic. The shared laundry room was nice and you can download an app to keep track of how long it will take and pay.The pool and hot tub were fantastic and for the location, it was quiet.We did have an issue with the shower not working properly in the guest room while we were there. The renters did get it taken care of as quickly as they were able and they were easy to get ahold of.A couple of things we pointed out before we left and a couple of other things I thought of later were, the twin beds in the 2nd bedroom were quite squeaky. No fans in the unit if you like to sleep with noise. Some beach towells would be nice to have on location to save room with packing. Also, brochures of different restaurants with menus and things to do in the area would have been nice. You did have a list of some things, but there is a ton more. Hope you don't mind but we left some that we gathered.Also the location of where the laundry room and where the big trash cans for the untis were located would have been handy. But honestly, those where such minor things over all the great things they had. I would go again and would highly recommend this unit.

Amazing location
This condo is smack in the middle of the awesomeness of St. Armands Circle with a 7 minute walk to beautiful Lido beach. We didn’t know much about the area before we got there since we were traveling for a sporting event, but we really lucked out and would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in this large condo. Large bedrooms, nice bathrooms, sufficient kitchen, large living room and a great outside screened in porch. Clean and so close to St. Armands and pretty close to Lido Beach. We shopped, laid out on the beach and accessed the pool. No complaints at all.

Four Night Stay Family of Four
Excellent location immediately off St Armand's Circle, yet far enough not to be bothered by noise. Our family of four found it an ideal location for walking to the beach and shops. Great off street parking space. Well-equipped and clean. Pool are a very nice plus. Guests should note that the apartment does not have a controlled access corridor outside its exterior door. Instead, the apartment's door opens to an open-air hallway with open access to the outside. Some might prefer the extra security of a locked building door.

The perfect place to stay on Saint Armands!
First of all the company and people that manage this property are amazing. We worked Christy and they were so attentive to our needs we stayed longer. She was pleasant and made it easy for us to stay at this property. The property worked perfectly. It was great in size and amenities and was quiet even though its next to everything. We enjoyed the screened-in balcony and the dining room for working and the large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. This property is also great with its pool and hot tub. The beach is just a short walk away. The best part is this property's location to restaurants including Tommy Bahamas restaurant right next door. We loved our stay and we think you will too.

The apartment was in a great location, but needed some updating.
Kingston Arms is great! Well kept and great pool. Didn't enjoy needing to drive to Longboat to pick up and drop off keys. Really need to get key pad entry or a lock box on the door. Silly to ask people to drive all that way. Apartment could use some updating, but was comfortable with a pretty view.

Location, Location!
Perfect for the Shops and restaurants of St Armand's Cirle with an Elderly relative (literally steps away) or the pool and beach with the kids. Plenty of room, nice new patio sliders, great internet connection, everything you could need. Bathrooms need a little updating, but really can't fault the unit for the price.

Inconvenient for a short stay
Two couples shared the condo for two nights. The condo is a bit outdated, but comfortable. One of the showers does not have hot water, making it challenging for us all to get ready.
We found the check-in and check-out process to be incredible inefficient and inconvenient for our very short stay. The office is located on Longboat key, at least 20 minutes drive from the condo. This was not communicated prior to reserving the home, and not well communicated after reserving. Unfortunately, we were not aware of this until we arrived at the condo. It took us over an hour round-trip to pick up the key due to weekend traffic around St. Armand's circle.
Check-out is at 11am, and you have to have the key back at the office in Longboat key at that time. This also wasn't communicated until we arrived, forcing us to change all of our plans to accommodate.
This is our first experience having to use a rental agency, and we will not be reserving again. We prefer the simple method of renting directly from the owner, who have set up lock boxes and clear instructions for the rental unit.
If we were staying for a week or longer, this may have not been as inconvenient for our group.
Parking for one car is included, so it was challenging for us having two cars. We used the street parking around the area, but had to move the car every few hours to avoid getting ticketed during the day. Overnight parking was not an issue.
Overall, the location is fantastic- walking distance to the circle and the beach. The couches and beds were comfortable- we pushed two twin beds together in the guest room. The kitchen had just enough- the fridge is easily overworked and our food was frozen by the morning. Pots and pans are available.
I would recommend this condo for a family staying for a longer trip. Bring your own beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, etc.. no amenities are available for beach trips.
