Lido Key is located on a laid back barrier island close to trendy and vibrant downtown Sarasota on the west coast of Florida. The area is known for great beaches, good food, outdoor activities, local attractions and lots of sunshine. We are centrally located on Lido Key a block to the beach and short 10 minute walk to St. Armand's Circle for boutique shopping and numerous outdoor seating restaurants. Downtown is minutes away over the Ringling Bridge.
This new to market second floor bright and sunny island decorated two bedroom one bath unit provides all the comforts you'd expect after a long day at the beach or exploring the local area. With vaulted ceiling, ceiling fans throughout and recessed lighting to set the mood along with the open floor plan it's warm and welcoming and easy to relax and entertain at any time. Located in the quiet and charming Chateau Village condo complex it's one of only 10 units in the complex which is conveniently located on South Lido Key.
Ted Sperling Park is a 5 minute walk and home to some of the best kayaking and SUP in Florida with the Lido Mangrove tunnels. North Lido Beach is home to large colonies of sea birds year round and great beach walks. Downtown minutes away!

About the host
Hosted by Jan
We are Chris & Jan and we have lived on laid back Lido Key since 2013 and owned on Lido even longer. Both of us are retired (Chris recently - yahoo!) and as we say we are "living the dream" on Lido.
Jan's a retired banker from Maple Shade, NJ which is where we met in 2000. At that time she did not know I would become the way for her to move to Florida away from the snow and ice of winters. We've been together ever since. She's also the brains of our rentals.
I’m a Florida native that grew up in South Florida beaches and have lived all over the state. I'm retired after having worked as a Sales & Marketing Executive seemingly spending more time on planes and in hotels around the world that at home over the past 20 years. I'm pretty handy and handle the maintenance.
We've been so fortunate to have made so many friends with people that have rented from us and many come back year after year.

Why they chose this property
No place better than Lido. This is a small complex of 10 condos that's quiet and convenient. Lido Key is located on a laid back barrier island close to trendy and vibrant downtown Sarasota on the west coast of Florida. The area is known for great beaches, good food, outdoor activities, local attractions and lots of sunshine. We are centrally located on Lido Key a block to the beach and short walk to St. Armand's Circle for boutique shopping and outdoor seating restaurants. Downtown is minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Small beach community with easy access to the great beach, restaurants, arts, and sites in Sarasota. Welcome to our island and we hope you enjoy your stay. We are Chris & Jan owner operators of Vacation Rentals on Lido. We have lived on Lido Key since 2013 and are truly "Living the Dream". Not all vacation rentals are created equal on the island. We take your needs, comfort and time you spend with us seriously. We believe that your time with us should be trouble free and if you need anything it's our job to help you.
