This was a great house in a great location with a great beach. I don’t need to say anymore.

We so enjoyed staying in the Malibu home. Perfect home, relaxing vacation. The house was a wonderful to enjoy family time, pool area wonderful. We all loved the dock to fish and just sit under the tree and enjoy the view. Perfect location, one block from the circle. Check in/out process easy. This house would be a definite must again!

We had a group of friends stay to celebrate our 50th birthday. What a perfect spot. The house is located walking distance to everything, restaurants, shops, and the beach. The house was clean and spacious with a beautiful pool and right on the canal. Perfect spot to take a glass of wine down on the dock and watch the manatees go by. The rental agency was super easy to work with, very nice and attentive if you need anything at all. We would most certainly rent this house again. The only slight inconvenience was that they don’t use a key code to get into the house. You have two actual keys that need to be picked up in their office in Long Boat Key (which is only 10 minutes away). Not so inconvenient that we wouldn’t stay again, but just needed to note that.

Great location. Two blocks from beach and one block from St Armand’s. Hot tub and heated pool were great for family. We will return.
Management company great to deal with. Only recommendation is to implement a key lockbox to avoid drive to the rental office.

Great big spaceous house.. Great for family/ large group! Plenty of room to spread out. Fun big kitchen with seating area and TV. Great location for getting to St Armands Circle.
The not so perfect side.. house pretty dated just as far as decor style.. like 1980s Florida decor? But not shabby.
Sliders hard to open. Oddly the house is not open VIEW to canal and pier so you almost forgot it was there. Oddly no direct walkway to pier either. Missed design opportunity.
Garage filled with bikes and fishing rods and kayaks and surfboards. But most locked up and some bikes had flat tires.
Oddly there is nothing in kitchen as far as staples. So remember to bring your own like oil, plastic wrap, sugar, extra kitchen soap laundry soap, tin foil, pepper towels. Etc.
Worst part was very bad mattress in master. Didn't sleep well first couple nights.
Also remember you have to drive half way up Longboat to get keys. No keypad entry. But rental agents extremely nice! And responsive.
Close to beach but doesn't feel like it since no direct road. Luckily the rest of family at Limetree Resort.
Sounds like we didn't like it but we did. And it's a great place for a group to gather.

Sarasota/ St Armands Circle
This house is just a couples short blocks to St Armands Circle and the beach. Or you can stay and enjoy the private pool or fish off of the dock on the canal. We had 6 adults (3 couples) and it was spacious enough that we weren’t on top of each other. The only thing I would recommend is an updated coffee maker that has auto shut off and better quality knives. The knives there are so dull that they are dangerous to use. Overall our stay was great and we enjoyed our time there.

Great location and Relaxing Atmosphere
The house was within easy walking distance to Lido beach and St. Armand’s Circle. The only drawback on location is a local market is either in Long Key or Sarasota so grab groceries before you arrive if coming in the evening. Our first night the sunset at the beach was amazing! We really enjoyed sitting outside watching the manatees and local birds in the morning and early evenings. The home was a bit large for just my husband and me but we enjoyed our stay, the pool, hot tub and just relaxing in the lanai or comfy couch in the living room catching up on our favorite tv shows.

Great Property
We loved our stay at this Lido Key property. It is in a perfect location. We were able to walk to the beach as well as walk anywhere on St Armands. The pool was very inviting and we loved being on a canal. We had our nightly manatee visit and the fishermen loved being able to fish right off the dock. We would highly recommend this property!

Vacation in LongBoat feedback
I agree with others that the home needs some updating. You're definitely paying for the location. Tile needs replacing as well as rugs need cleaning. Plumbing is less than average. Even with all restrictions noted, we still had toilet flushing issues. Weeds and mold need some attention.

Social Distance Getaway
Perfect location!! Walked daily to the many shops and restaurants. Our boys spent hours each day fishing off of the dock. We rented a boat for our stay, saw manatees in the canal. Loved the pool and hot tub! The property really could use a fresh coat of paint, new carpeting, and new mattresses on the twin beds. But we would definitely consider staying here again!

Beautiful, relaxing and perfect location
This was the 1st time staying on Lido Key. It did not disappoint! This house has beautiful gardens and beautiful setting. We rented a boat and the dock was perfect. Our kids loved being so close to the restaurants and shops. It was a perfect location for our family that lives only 4 miles from there. We will definitely be back.
