Lovely apartment, beautiful views, just across from the beach. A lovely welcome touch of a bottle of wine, nachos and salsa. A short walk to the shops and restaurants. Although we had no hot water during our 3 days stay ( cold showers are not too bad on a hot day) the owner tried to rectify it whilst we were there and gave us a refund for it. Would definitely come again and recommend

The stay was excellent. The unit was just as advertised. The location is great for going to the beach and St. Armand's Circle

We were very fortunate to stay at this property. It is in a great location - just a short walk to St. Armand’s Circle. It is also just steps away from the beach with a convenient walkway across the street. In my opinion, this property is actually nicer than in the photos. We would certainly recommend a stay at this property.

Only thing, the AC seems to struggle, to maintain a comfortable temperature, there are a few floor fans, and we bring a couple of our own, to help move the air

This is our second year at this property.
We walk across the street to the beach, we walk to St Armands Circle for dining, shopping and entertainment. We don't need to get back into the car.
The property is pretty equipped. We bring food and drink only. They have things for the beach too.
Love it and will be back next year!

Great location... walk across street to beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants. Paddle boarding the mangroves was a nice experience that we did twice. Also bike lane that run 15-20 miles north of Lido Key so good option if you're a cyclist. Nice clear w

Loved, loved the location! 💛☀️
Place was great to just hang out.
Our host checked on us and was super kind and helpful. The only thing that didn’t work was the garbage disposal. We were in Lido Key during Res Tide and was very disappointed the county didn’t clean up the beach one day during the week we stayed there. I highly recommend the unit!

A wonderful stay in a lovely apartment. Everything was as advertised and more. Very well apportioned and we lacked for nothing in the kitchen or anywhere else. An easy stroll to St. Armand’s Circle, and we took it often. The beach is amazing. Highly recommend.

Hi…. I did not get to stay here!!!… due to post- Ian issues. Thanks for being safety-minded . Would like to reschedule directly with the condo owner...too many 3 rd parties involved .

I enjoyed the place very much. It is as advertised and the pictures reflect it well. Very pleasant! Great location! it is a bit dated and could be refreshed, but it was definitely clean, so partly this makes up for it! I had a situation where the toilet in the master bathroom clogged the first day I was there; it took about 1.5 days to get this addressed, but there was a 2nd bathroom, which I could use. Overall, good communication with the host. Definitely recommend the place!

Summer Staycation
We rented this unit as a send-off for our recent high school graduate before he leaves for his summer camp counseling job. We live in Sarasota so it was a staycation for us, and the location could not have been better. Our son and his friends were able to hop on the new City bike rentals and hit the Circle (something we never do!), go to the beach whenever they wanted, and generally avail themselves of all of the wonderful amenities tourists enjoy on Lido. The unit itself was super clean and convenient when we arrived. Literally every single thing I looked for while I was there, I found easily--extra linens, spatulas, pots, pans, coffee filters, everything. We brought paddleboards and other beach gear and felt that it was safe and secure left outside of the building. Our son and his friends even saw a loggerhead turtle nesting during one of their late night trips to the ocean. So special! Highly recommend the unit and we will do our best to reserve it again in the future!

Perfect spot
We loved this place. It was perfect for myself and my husband and our teenage son. The beach was right across the street and St. Armand's Circle was walking distance. There were beach chairs and an umbrella to use at the beach. We wish we had stayed longer. We will definitely be back.
