A free trolley 2 blocks away will take you to South Lido Park, St. Armands Circle and Main Street in Sarasota. Apartment is very clean and provides the basics for a short stay. Hosts are friendly and gracious. The neighborhood is very quiet and the beach 2 blocks away is perfect for families. Clean sand, clear water, lifeguards and a shaded pavilion with food concession and a small bar with local beers on tap.

This was the perfect home and location for our family! Location was a short one block walk to the beach. There were beach wagons to use, as well as toys, towels, chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler to use. The home was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. I would definitely want to stay here again!

The apartment was extremely clean and also had great presentation with little touches! The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked with anything you might need. The bathroom was also really nice and provided you with some extras. The beds were super comfortable. The living room had a large TV and enough seating for the four of us. We loved the short walk to the beach and St. Armand's Circle. The location was also great for its proximity to restaurants and activities. We would definitely stay again!

Everything was better than I hoped. The rooms, the kitchen with everything we needed. It has been a blessing for a much needed family time together. Thank you!

We truly could not have been happier with our stay here! We’ve visited Sarasota many times with this being our first staying near Lido Beach. The property is a quick, convenient walk to the beach in a quiet and safe neighborhood. There are oodles of amenities like the listing described - Gino & Janine provide just about everything you can think of to make the stay comfortable and feel like home. We especially appreciated being able to check in a couple hours earlier than the listing said (handy with a young kiddo!), easy parking, and crisp A/C! You also can’t go wrong with the price! Gino was extremely responsive and clear in his communication, much like messaging a friend. We will absolutely stay here again!

Gino and Janine are wonderful hosts and easy to communicate with over text message. The apartment is only 1 block from a public beach so its in an amazing location and so convenient. The hosts provide everything you need for a great beach stay- cooler, chairs, umbrella. We did find one cockroach on our last night in the bedroom which I have been told may be normal for the area however was alarming to find otherwise the apartment was very clean and well put together. Thanks for hosting us

This old 1950’s building has 10 units and is surrounded by million dollar homes and very close to the beach. The patio area with aged furniture and rusty grills that have seen better days, is adjacent to the parking lot, so that’s your view. My family took a walk while I napped and locked the door when they left. The door would not unlock from the inside (fire hazard). There is a patio door that I ended up opening and it was so dilapidated that we struggled to get it reseated on the track and closed properly. We encountered some insects, roaches, and some tiny gnat looking bugs in the cabinets. When I told the owner about the roaches her response was “yep, those are palmetto bugs. I’m not going to spray because we have a service that sprays regularly.” We tried to ignore the first roach, seen in the bathroom, and we kept all of our food in ziploc storage bags or the refrigerator; but after we saw the second one in the cabinet with the dishes, we were just done. Couldn’t relax, didn’t want to cook or eat in the unit. There was really nowhere to relax in the evening, unless you want to look at the cars in the parking lot. The unit is small. There is a washer and dryer that tenants can use after 4 pm daily. The beds were comfortable. There was an attempted abduction at St. Armand’s circle while we were there, also gave us an unsettling feeling. The beaches are beautiful. There’s a public pool close to the beach but it had limited hours due to staffing.

The location was fantastic (one block from beach, short walk to Armands Circle, etc.) and, for the area, I'm not sure you could beat the price. The owner/property manager was incredibly responsive and accessible (only minutes to get replies via text/email). The property could use a bit of a facelift (mostly cosmetic) and, yes, we did see/find one cockroach in our unit while we were there - but, it's a tropical area, so not totally atypical even with the best treatments. Happy/fine with all for what we paid. . .

Excellent location, condo was nice and clean. Only downside to our week was the redtide on the beach but there was plenty to do away from the beach when it was at it's worst.

Our accomodations were clean and we had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with flatware, dinnerware, toaster, etc. There were beach chairs, a beach umbrella, towels and toys available for free. It's less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach. Lots of great restaurants and shops at St Armand's Circle which is a quick drive or within walking distance. The owner is very nice and available, although we had no issues at all.

Apartment was close to everything and was the perfect spot, the beach was beautiful and just a short walk away from the apartment 😁

The apartment is a few minutes walking distance to Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle. The building itself is old, but the apartment is updated. The area is safe, you can walk even at night to St. Armands Circle, you don't need to drive. The apartment is small, but is it fully equipped. We cooked almost every day. On the stove only the two small burners worked, the two big ones didn't warm up at all, but it was fine for us. The owner promptly responded to all my messages. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed staying at the Lido Beach condo. It was clean, comfortable, air conditioned and more attractive than the photos indicate. Just as advertised it is a few minutes distance from the beach and about 10 minutes walking distance from St. Armands Circle. So if you decide not to rent a car it's perfect.

Vacation after Rowing Nationals
My husband is a rowing coach and we come to Nationals in Sarasota which is a working vacation but we like to take a couple days for ourselves once racing is over. This was the perfect spot. We love Lido and always try to stay there. The walk to the beach was very short as well as the walk to St. Armand's Circle. Would definitely recommend staying!!

Outstanding Customer Service
Gino and Janine were beyond easy to work with. We got in late and asked for a fan and they delivered it on request! The condo was so close to the beach and the circle. We come to Sarasota every year and will make sure to rent from them again! Thank you Gino and Janine for making our stay extra special!!!

Great Location
Great experience and loved how close we were to the beach and St Armand’s Circle. Even though the weather wasn’t great we got to walk the beach everyday. The accommodations were perfect for our needs. Everything we needed for cooking, sleeping and beaching was available for our use.
Our host Gino was attentive and so very helpful through out the stay. Even providing extra blankets for the very cold nights. (Without us even having to ask).
Highly recommend if you want to be close to the beach.
