We were just looking for a short vacation getaway and this place was perfect! It was so cozy and homey. So many amenities to make truly relaxing for us. We especially loved the privacy of the pool! We found ourselves spending so much time out there. Having the beach so.close to the house also was so great! This house had everything we needed to be relaxed and just enjoy ourselves. The perfect getaway home. Lori was the sweetest host making sure that it was easy for us to access the house. We look forward to coming back to Sarasota again and will definitely stay here again.

The house was just as listed online and just a 5 min walk to beach and pool was just perfect. We really enjoyed dinner and breakfast on St Armand’s circle and fantastic shopping. Hope to stay again!

This rental was perfect! We’ve stayed on Lido many times and this was one of the very best properties by far. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. All we needed to do was unpack! Everything we needed was there for us. I read a previous review about things needing updating, but we found the property beautiful and in great condition at the time of our stay. The kitchen is VERY clean and a brand new oven (not that I cook on vacation). The bathroom was spotless. The jack and jill sink in the hall cove and outdoor private shower made it easy for us to get ready for walkable dinners to St. Armands circle. I recommend the Cubano coffee at Columbia. The slat water pool was so refreshing and relaxing. Walking distance to everything you need (white sand beaches, restaurants, shops, kayaking the mangroves!). We loved our stay, have already booked for 2022. Thank you Lori and Vicki

Outside of house is beautiful. Vicki and Lori were very easy to communicate with. We did feel, however, that the kitchen and bathrooms in the house are tired and need updated. Both bathrooms are quite small! Kitchen cabinets are tired however it is nicely stocked. The cooktop was cracked. Nice walking distance to St. Armands or the beach.

My friends and I were looking for something close beach but close enough to visit Sarasota. Our stay at this beautiful home checked off every box on our stay. We never wanted to leave.

This is the third time I have rented a house with VRBO. This house was the best! The beach is right down the street and its a short walk to St. Armands Circle. The house was beautiful and so clean! We felt like we were on a deserted island with the beautiful pool and mature landscaping. Check the pictures, just like it shows. You will not be disappointed!!

This is a beautiful property for a great price just walking distance to the beach (0.2 miles) and also walking distance to St. Armand's Circle (0.5 miles). We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean with a beautiful pool and a shed full of beach gear (chairs, umbrella, cart, etc.) and was maintained beautifully. In addition, the kitchen had lots of top notch cooking and serving ware to make dinner. We did not want to leave! Thanks to Vicki for being such a great host; she was communicative and answered all questions quickly and was a great help to us during our stay.

It was wonderful to get away with our family for a few days during this coronavirus period. Lido Key was a great place to chill out. The house was beautiful and was very well equipped . The pool was lushly landscaped and we thought we were in paradise. Everything was provided for the beach (towels, beach chairs and umbrellas) which was great and the beach was about 5 minutes walk from the house. We also were also within walking distance from all shops and restaurants. Vicky and Lori couldn’t have been better hosts. I would recommend it without hesitation to my friends and we will certainly return. The only thing that it could use is a handrail at the pool for the old folks.

We will return. Clean, private, quiet, everything we needed was provided. Kitchen well stocked with cooking gear. Grill. Great internet.

An amazing trip, great hosts. House was just as expected and more! Pictures accurately describe the property but didn’t get the true appreciation for this place til we stayed. Great location, walk to beach. See you soon!

We were celebrating our anniversary and this spot couldn't have been any more perfect. We were so glad to have found Lori and Vicky. They were responsive and really do care about their guests, far beyond customers. We felt so welcomed and our expectations were surely met. What a Wonderful Home!

A great trip! Great hosts! The privacy at this place is incredible. The peace just being at home, even during interesting times was so great. The beach was closed and the shops and restaurants were only open for dining outside and limited capacity. But, we still had an amazing trip. We will be back.

Vicki thought of everything. The house is well stocked with everything you'd need in a kitchen when it comes to cooking utensils, pots/pans, baking, etc. The grill was a nice addition for us as we weren't expecting it. There are actually three showers in this location as we used the outdoor shower every day. Thanks for a great property!

Thank you, Vicki, for all you did for us. We had such a nice stay at your house. We are going to try your other 3 bedroom listing next stay because it's one full house. Though we enjoyed our stay here greatly, we would have liked the house to be one full unit instead of split into two. But, we must say again, we had a great time. Beautiful place, well taken care of. Beds comfortable, short walk to everything.

We were a group of 3 girlfriends traveling for a getaway. We had a wonderful trip. Our favorite part of the house is its privacy. The outdoor area is truly a unique place to just sit and relax. We will return

We've had bad experiences with VRBO properties in the past. But this team knows how to run a vacation location. The house is well taken care of, beds comfortable, quiet neighborhood. We will be staying at their other 3-bedroom location next year for a week, though. It's a bigger house and offers the same great team and a private pool, etc. But, this is a great home also. We just prefer a little more room.

This property was so well cared for and appointed. The hostess was surely a treat and was very accommodating. We could walk to everything. The home was really a vacation in and of itself. Though we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here, we will try this owner's other property next time ... just to see which one we like better. It was extremely private and just a vacation of a lifetime. Thank you Vicki!

We had such a nice stay at this home. The host was an incredible help and this house is very well maintained, sheets/bed were extremely comfortable. We will return to Lido but this owner has another house on Lido that we will try out next time just to see which one we'd like to make our yearly vacation spot. We like Lido so much we're planning to have this be our go-to place. The pool area is completely private and a quiet oasis. We honestly preferred to stay at the house and not even go to the beach. We even grilled at the house and ate dinner home more than we thought we would. A truly great house, great host, and great memories made.

We've finally found the place that we love to vacation at. This house is perfect for our family. It's a private home with lots of lush greenery, yet the home is very bright and cheerful inside. We loved the privacy also of the second bedroom area where there is also a small kitchen. It was perfect as an in-law suite but could be a great nanny suite as well. We also had another couple stay with us and they didn't really want to hear the noise of our whole crew, so they chose to stay in the studio all by themselves to enable them little doses of the rest of us. We had a great stay. It's as advertised, very clean, walkable to downtown and shops/restaurants, and the beach. Thanks Vicki!!

My wife and I had a wonderful trip to this home. It's almost like it's own compound, meaning it's completely private and really makes you feel like you are away from it all. We had a wonderful trip. The managers were wonderful to work with and were available when we needed advice on where to eat and what to do around the local area. We fell in love with Lido Beach. The home is well-equipped and well taken care of. Comfortable/clean/cozy. We will return.

This house has it all. The pool area is just beautiful. We sat out by the pool most nights to eat dinner and just be in the privacy of this great little house. There's a nice spacious area which is private and perfect for an in-law area with its own space, then we had the larger part of the house for my husband and I and our two girls. Very private and well-kept home. Responsive managers. We will return.

Great house and suite if rent both was nice for out older kids to have own space to go to. Loved the pool in the evenings and after at beach all day. Loved it!

The house is beautiful, the property manager was nice and helpful. There is not one thing I can complain about, everything was wonderful. I will definitely be coming back.

House was amazing, location was amazing, pool was exceptional. Walked beach every day, except for one rainy day! Heavenly. Our week was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The service from Lori and Vicki is above and beyond. Lori was great responding to questions prior to our trip; and once we arrived Vicki is fast to respond with any issues that may arise, or simple house questions. Both deserve a A++ rating for making our trip a truly relaxing vacation. We rented both the 2 bedroom/1 bath house and the 1 bed/1 bath studio cabana next door. It was perfect for the four of us and the description and photos are right on, but even more beautiful. The location is a short walk to the public beach across the street (sunsets are beyond expressing) and a short distance to St. Armand’s Circle for wonderful restaurants and shopping. Lido Beach Park is also a quick drive or bike ride and we highly suggest you go there and check it out for a possible dolphin sighting. We spent mornings walking the beaches and afternoons in the pool at the house. It’s hard to leave the house because it is a gorgeous tropical oasis with lush mature landscaping. Thank you for sharing your lovely home, we brought great memories home with us. We hope to come back and enjoy another week!

We had such an amazing visit to this home. The house is situated such that you can have as much privacy as you want, yet be in the mix of things. The yard is just perfect for peace and quiet. It is filled with coconut trees and palm trees, lush greenery and bright flowers. We had our own piece of paradise for too short of a visit. The pool was great, the grill was great. We were able to wash our clothes from the day and the extra refrigerator allowed us to keep our whole crew well fed. The beach is about a half block away, St. Armands a 5-minute walk. Lori and Vicki were perfect hosts. We brought my parents who stayed in the private one-bedroom/one-bathroom with kitchenette and it was perfect for them to get away from the activity in our 2 bedroom/1 bath when they had enough of the kids! We will stay longer on our next visit, that's our only complaint. Thank you Vicki and Lori! It was a vacation we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Our family was looking for a place to start a tradition of summer vacations ... and we have found it in this property. We have tried so many other properties, but this one really far surpassed our needs. We booked at the last minute and Lori and Vicki pulled it off to ensure we had a wonderful vacation. Our son and his wife came with us and it was so nice to have both the outdoor shower in addition to the extra bathroom sink in the house which makes it so easy for two of us to get ready at the same time. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted, the home was clean, freshly painted even. We have already made our plans to return next year. Thank you Vicki and Lori!
