It was fabulous. The condo was clean and convenient. The view was awesome. The convenience to the beach was perfect. If we were not moving jere in six weeks we would rent again next year. The owner was so nice and helpful. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

This was a nice unit, clean and mostly updated. The owner should spend a week there though. There are little annoyances that could be easily fixed making this a more desirable unit. Light switches that don’t work, too many remote controls setting around-3 for one TV and that just doesn’t make sense. TV’s that can’t access streaming services, no end tables to sit glasses on while relaxing. There was ONE wash cloth in the entire unit and the sheets in the master bedroom are too big and end up coming off while sleeping. The blinds are broken in every room, we had to close every individual slat at night by hand and are too small for the master window and can be seen through at night, so don’t change your clothes in the evening… the ceiling fan in the master bedroom Needs replaced, it makes so much noise that you can’t use it. The USB chargers installed on the nightstands were never plugged in, I had to remove the packaging on the plug and move the bed to plug in the ports. The dressers drawers open about 2 inches because they are not put together correctly. These things add up. For the money charged, these should be addressed. The pool is very nice and there were plenty of beach and bath towels for two people. The appliances worked fine as well. It would be nice to have a fan in the unit, since the AC doesn’t have a fan that works when the AC is running. The shower is nice.

The perfect and convenient location. The unit is great by the size but definitely needs TLC. AC in one bedroom is very old, loud and rusty. The beach chairs/umbrellas are also, rusty and old. The bathroom needs to be more clean, there is a mold in the shower cabin.

Location is amazing! You can chose to walk to ocean side to watch the sunset in less than a minute or see it from the condo. The unit itself is dated, and could have been cleaner but very well stocked with everything you need for a perfect home away from home. It was a great month long retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and staying in this cozy condo. Vickie is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The location of this condo is great for families and kids! The condo was perfect for our family of 6. We loved being able to walk across the road to the beach and being able to see the ocean from the front balcony. The pool provided great entertainment for our 4 boys and the grills beside the pool were a bonus. Thank you for allowing us to stay, we will definitely be back!

This is a well-equipped second floor condo overlooking the Gulf. It is less than a 10 minute walk to St. Armand's Circle, with lots of shops and restaurants. The beach is right across the road and there are beach chairs etc., for the use of guests. The complex has a very nice pool and overall it is good value for money for a family.

Perfect Loction. Great Service.

Perfect Loction. Great Service.

Very nice & clean accommodations. Wonderful location. Well maintained property, inclusive of pool area and onsite laundry facility. Beautiful white sand beach. Crystal clear water. Fabulous sunsets. Daily dolphin sightings. Manatee visits. No beach trash here. Easy, short walk to beautiful beach directly across the street. If driving is a need, ample beach parking is also located across from condo. Don't let "across street" deter you; the cross walk is steps away and I presume pedestrians have right of way -- autos always stopped. Vacationed in early October and had almost no traffic. Everything you need is furnished - household supplies & beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, small cooler, beach toys). Host was delightful to work with, and prompt on replies. Late arrival entry process was easy and flawless. All staff was courteous. Must take the short ride, or nice walk, to St. Armands Circle - wonderful choice of restaurants and boutiques. Shout out to Cha Cha Coconuts restaurant. If you like to check out surrounding areas like I do, this is the perfect location: 6 minutes to Sarasota proper, about 20 minutes to Siesta Key Beaches and others. St. Petersburg & Tampa is within an hours drive. Unless you are seeking the Ritz-Carlton, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Vicki, for the wonderful experience. I will return to this area, and this will be my first choice location.

Great Stay!

Walk across the street to the beach and enjoy the sunset in a beach chair provided by owners! Excellent location, comfortable two bedroom/one bathroom apartment on Lido Key. Very near St. Armand’s Circle. The unit was clean. We had everything we needed (bring quarters for laundry!). Pool on site. Air conditioned - wall units in each room. Comfortable mattress. Updated unit. Lovely sunrise and sunset view. Perfect for a couple or a family. We were here nine days and loved it! Hope to come again to The Dorset. Thanks so much!

The unit was nice. Everyone enjoyed it. It had everything you would need. We did find the mattress uncomfortable (bedroom with door to the outside) but everything else was great. The pool is out the back door and was very clean. It did not even have a lot of people using it. The laundry room was a short walk from the unit but had several washers and dryers (bring quarters). There were 6 of us so the 1 bathroom was difficult at times but we made it work. Thank you Vicki and Ernie.

Good and not-so-good

Good and not-so-good

Stayed at Lido Beach many times but this was the first time using VRBO and renting a condo. Obviously, this is the low season since the place was virtually empty. A/C and beds are ready for updating. Very noisy. Sheets had a rip in it near the headboard. A/C not very efficient in this high heat. Bathroom has no exhaust fan so it's always damp there. Since all users pay a cleaning fee, I was disheartened to find someone's orthodontic rubber bands on the floor. Nobody in my family wears them. Seems the cleaning contractor is not very good. Was really put off by our next door neighbor. We weren't there an hour and they were outside of their unit smoking. We were still unloading and one of them offered my kids candy. Fortunately, my kids have been thoroughly schooled and refused the offer. These people looked shady. Location is great. The property itself is tired. Rusty roof flashings and dripping in walkways. No codes provided for rest rooms near pool. Will think long and hard before I go this route again.

The air conditioning is very LOUD!!! The lighting is poor. Couldn't even read my book as lightning not bright enough. Would suggest leaving some trash bags and instructions for checkout. With these corrections would consider renting again.

Updated condo in an older complex. Directly across the street from the Gulf with beautiful views. Updated kitchen with all necessary dishes, cookware and utensils. Beach supplies provided as well including chairs, cooler, towels, raft, etc. Only minor negative is the AC is wall units in each room that can be loud. Overall a great experience.
