We love this area and it is pricey especially during spring break time. This condo was reasonably priced& just what we needed for a family girls trip-me and my daughter and my sister in law and 2 adult nieces. Right down the street from Lido Key Beach Resort where we typically stay. We enjoyed the short walk to beach... much closer than I thought it would be, the nice walk to St. Armand's circle, the trolley to Siesta Key, quick trip to/from airport and the hosts were very nice and attentive. We chose to eat out mostly but did place one whole foods delivery order for some basics. The condo has everything you need if you wanted to prepare meals in. Only recommendation I have is to upgrade the doors/locks to keypad entry vs. having to carry key all week and share amongst family members.
Also- Lido Key beach has a bar, full snack bar with gluten free options which was key for us, bathrooms and a pool.

Apartment is just as described, short walk across the street to the beach and about 10 min walk to St.Armand circle with dining and shopping.
Apartment was clean and stocked with everything including toilet paper and seasoning and coffee.
Also had all the beach chairs, towels, cooler and many other useful items.
Dishes, glasses, utensils, pots, pans , coffee makers AND coffee!!!
Having everything stocked is very much appreciated! We have been in some of those places where you have to buy literally everything and then throw away and this was not the case here . Everything was stocked !! Master bedroom bed was very comfortable, linens were clean and pillows were comfortable . We didn't use second bedroom but noticed Pack Play in the closet , blankets etc.
Apartment complex location is excellent, and apartment inside is spacious . It definitely can accommodate large family . We did not mind not having a pool but there is a pool across the street by the beach .
We will book again with this host , Thank you for thinking of little things that matters!

Property was in a perfect location without the need for a vehicle. Quick walk to the beach, and St. Armonds Circle and easy access to the Bay Runner trolly for travel to Downtown Sarasota made the stay perfect for an active couple.
The property was very clean, well maintained and nicely equipped. Owners were friendly, and very responsive with communication and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Lido Key.

Great location for a beach/downtown getaway. Just a few blocks from the Gulf of Mexico, and a few blocks from all the dining and shops at St. Armand's Circle. The Bay Runner trolley (free) was a great way to get to downtown Sarasota and back without the hassle of parking.

My daughter and I wanted to check out Sarasota with the possibility of spending larger chunks of time there. We booked this place only about 6 weeks in advance so there wasn’t a lot available. We were pleasantly surprised - it’s a 2 minute walk to the beach surrounded by multimillion dollar homes. And it’s a 15 min walk to St Armand’s Circle. And only a 12 min drive to downtown. Perfect!
While the furnishings are a little dated, the property comes with everything you need, including kitchenware to cook meals, more than enough bath and beach towels, beach chairs and an umbrella, blow dryer, lots of pillows, pillowy mattress toppers, shower soaps….AND the owners are very responsive. All-in-all, it was a great stay and I recommend this place to others.

We had a wonderful time in the area. This has great proximity to everything we wanted to see. It was missing some comfortable furniture.

my parents and I (adult) stayed here for a long weekend. It worked well for what we needed. Close walk to the beach and the Bay Runner Trolley stop that was able to take us to St Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota for additional activities without needing to uber/drive. The facility itself was sufficient. Had necessary amenities (minus a toaster). I was a bit bummed as I thought we would have private outdoor picnic/grill area based on the pictures but we were on the second level and these grill/patio areas appeared to be shared with the first level. Overall the place was fairly clean, but you can tell it has aged with some rusting, water leak in the bathroom faucet, and general outdoor wear on furniture and such. The decor inside is far from 5 stars and was kinda odd for a "beach house", but obviously didn't harm our ability to sleep at night. Pillows/bedding weren't the best which did impact my sleep. Overall it was nice for the price but not sure if we would stay again with so many other options in the area. Also, check in/check out process was a bit shady for my liking, but will leave those details out as to not risk harm to the business/property.

This was a 2-bedroom apartment within 1 block's walking distance to the beach. The village was also within walking distance, but we found having a rental vehicle a plus for getting around and sightseeing. This property is an affordable alternative to gaining access to such a beautiful area.

This property was in a great location! Would highly recommend, great area!
This property is in a great location and the host was very communicative and friendly, he was on the property so we did get to meet him. It was just a short walk to the beach and the Lido Beach resort which we ate at several times! It was less than a mile walk into St. Armands, lots of restaurants and shopping! The neighborhood where the apartments are is literally right in the middle of multi million dollar homes it was an absolutely beautiful area! The only slight negative was that there is a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood and it was a little noisy at times. The apartment was simple but well equipped with everything you needed! I would’ve liked the apartment to have a little more beach decor but that’s just me! It was an absolutely amazing stay and met all our needs. The host let us I have a late check out because our flight didn’t leave till later which was very nice of him to go that extra mile!Thank you Gino we had a great time !!

Perfect location!
My family had a wonderful time in Lido Key. This condo was in the perfect location- we could walk to the beach in a few minutes and St Armand’s was only a 10 minute walk through a gorgeous neighborhood. The condo was spotless and Gino responded quickly to any question that I had.

Easy walk to Lido Beach
This was a great apartment — spacious, clean, comfortable beds and everything you needed for the beach. Communication with the owner was super fast and helpful. We didn’t have a car, but it was an easy walk to St. Armand’s and the area was great for beach walking. Recommend Lido Grill for lunch or an early dinner.

Fantastic Location!!
This place is great. 1 block to the beach!! A 10 minute walk to Armands Circle! Spent some time at Lido Beach Resort for happy hour! The beach is great, never to crowded. Would stay again!!!
Bring mosquito spray, as there are excessive, hungry mosquitoes everywhere!!

Walking to a busy beach is a bonus! Lido Beach is just steps away and a quick, easy walk. The beach has restrooms, shaded picnic areas, pool, bar, and quick food bites. Very nice beach. Geno was very helpful during check - in as we texted him our arrival time and keys were left in the condo for quick access. He also stopped by to ensure we had everything we needed. This property is an old apartment building from the outside. Inside was clean, well stocked, and worked great for a weekend beach getaway. Nothing fancy. Beds were comfortable. St Armands Circle with lots of dining and shopping options is just a few minutes drive. (probably a 15 minute walk).

Great stay to enjoy the beach with family
It is exactly as pictured. Very clean, owner is super responsive and was very patient with my many questions. Could use a couple more hooks or towel bars for wet towels in the bathroom. Easiest rental I have had in many years.

Easy beach access
Nice 2 bedroom apartment. Beach a short 5 minute walk. The owner communicated very well with us. I had to have several boxes shipped to this location for business and the owner allowed us to ship to him and pick up upon our arrival.

The property is clean, completely remodeled, equipped with all that you will need for you vacation. The owner Gino and his wife were delightful and responsive. The beach was a 4 minute walk in a safe friendly neighborhood. We watched the gorgeous sunset each night and took in all the beauty! Also, a great location for an 8 minute walk to St. Armands Circle for shopping, entertainment and wonderful restaurants. You will have to make reservations early in the day to make sure you get a table and well worth it. The food is fabulous!Gino thought of everything for the out of town vacationer. We had beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and and a beach wagon for our beach excursions. There are 2 gas grills to use which I thought was a lovely touch. The kitchen is well stocked with basic items to dine in. We went to Publix and stocked up on the necessary items to enjoy some meals in. The stove, although it looks dated, worked perfectly. It was nice to have some basics like salt/pepper, sugar etc. Upon entering we were provided with a container of antibacterial wipes and our own container of disinfectant. A nice touch in times of COVID. The only item we did not find were cooking sheets for the oven. I'm certain if we called Gino he would have brought some over to us but it wasn't really a big deal. There were 2 cons about the property and both are fixable. The keys to get in the unit were tricky at best. I feel that changing out the locks to a keyless entry would be much better. If someone leaves the unit and locks it from the outside (which my husband did), you need to have a key inside to get out. I had left my key in the car however the sliding glass door could easily be used as an emergency exit so there is not safety issue as you can still get out. The other item is when showering there is a piercing sound. Another unit had it as well and we could hear it. Something to look at. If I could have gone up to 10 stars, I would have. You can't go wrong by staying here and we will no doubt be back to stay! It was perfect! Thank you so much for hosting us. It was wonderful.
