Had a great beach trip with family. The beach was within walking distance and there was free parking for the truck at beach. The pool was a great place for the afternoon after all day at the beach. GREAT TIME!
We had a great experience at this property. The beds, bedding and towels were super comfortable! The house is stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen and extras in the bathrooms like toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, makeup mirrors and more.My only call out would be that two of the bedrooms connect through one bathroom so you have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to the main part of the house or go through a door to the outside and walk around. It wasn't a big deal, but something worth knowing depending on the people you're staying with.The property manager was very responsive and accommodating. The beach is at the end of the street and St. Armin's Circle is a 10-15 walk. Everything is conveniently located.Overall we loved the property and would recommend.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the comfortable beds, cozy bedding, well-stocked kitchen, and all of the little extras we provide to help make our guests feel at home.
We also appreciate you mentioning the unique bedroom and bathroom layout. We know every group has different needs, and we hope your description helps future guests determine if it’s the right fit for their stay.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the location with the easy walk to Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle. Thank you for your kind words about our responsiveness and for recommending our home. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great location and backyard area/pool. The house was clean and spacious, and it was nice to have the apartment upstairs. We will definitely be back again!!!!!
We came with our family of five and had an amazing time. The house is very spacious and clean with all the amenities you could need. The pool was warm, even in the shade, which made for great pool days. Whenever we had an issue with the property the host quickly responded and solved the problem. We would happily stay again!
I would book this house every year if I had the means to! Close proximity to the beach (walking distance even for toddlers), wonderful pool, great outdoor entertainment area, COMFY beds and pillows—clean and fresh! Great area for kids to have fun as well as parents! Responsive host. Best place in Lido!
Very live-able home in a great location with a nice pool, within walking distance of the town of Sarasota and the beach. Good for our family of 8. We had a great time. Linda, owner, was very helpful.

Love love love. Made memories for a lifetime with our girls and family.
Had an incredible time with a perfect layout. Couldn’t have asked for a better location and accommodation.

Thank you Will. I am very glad you had a nice stay! Hope you will come back:)
Overall a great property! Location was perfect for walking to the beach for sunrise, sunset, or for the day. We didn’t use the upstairs apartment, so it wasn't an issue, but the floor appears to need repair. The house was nice and updated.
Fantastic location on Lido key with easy access to a beautiful beach. The house was clean and comfortable but the layout was unusual with one bedroom accessible through another (or outside) and another small apartment upstairs. The pool was nice but there could be additional accommodations outside to eat or relax. Great value but expect the basics.
I really liked it 😻good location to the ocean😻😻😻the house is very cozy, tidy)) and there was everything needed for a small child (although we did not use it) but the owner took care of everything😉 I definitely recommend and will come back again
We have two sons, their wives, and two granddaughters. The house was ideal for our group and, being located in a beautiful neighborhood a block from the beach, delighted our granddaughters. Overall the family get together in Lido was perfect. One additional comment about the house, everything needed was provided. We could have moved in immediately and needed to buy nothing.
Private Lido St. Armand's House with Unusual Layout
This was a great private retreat for our family and friends for three weeks. The landlord was very responsive to minor issues and it's location is incredible. It worked well for us but future renters should know that the bedroom with the twin beds is be suited to young children of a couple staying in the master. Also, the 4th bedroom upstairs is like a mini-apartment and is awesome for older teens and young adults or a couple. It's entrance is on the exterior of the house. Overall, we loved our experience and the landlord was fantastic. The pool was a great temperature and we enjoyed short walks to the beach and St. Armand's. We'd rent here again for sure!
I did not feel welcome. The house has a musty small. I spend all my vacation without hot water. I call Linda the house thsecond day. I got hot water one day before leaving.

Hello Lissette, thank you for your review. I wish you would tell me about the hot water when you called, unfortunately you mentioned only a broken umbrella. It is very difficult to address an issue when I dont know there is one. I am sorry you did not like your stay and hope you will have a better luck next time. Also hope you will leave your next vacation house in better condition than mine, the mess was unbelivable and I wish the next host good luck.
Linda, we loved staying at your home in Lido just steps away from the beach! You had everything we needed to enjoy a fabulous trip. So much so, that we want to keep it a secret! The house was perfect for our two families with children. A big house with a private pool, beach items including a wagon, chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach towels, and beach toys for the kids. A short walk to St. Armand’s Circle. Plenty of kitchen items, plates, bowls, spices, comfortable king size beds, clean updated bathrooms, full size washer/dryer, and a separate apartment upstairs! The corner lot made us feel like we were in our own resort. We are already planning our trip for next year. So close to the beach and such a relaxing atmosphere! I can’t wait to get back to Lido!

Hello Christy, thank you for your review. The only thing you mentioned during your stay was the water (old card on file) and that was solved within COUPLE HOURS. NONE of the other things you have mentioned during your stay and you VERY EASILY COULD HAVE done so. The AC is very easy to operate, have no idea why you had the issue and if you did not know how to operate it, you could have contacted me. Landscaping comes twice a week.
Worth mentioning is that you have moved furniture around WITHOUT letting me know, you chipped the walls, which now need repair. Also chipped is one of the kitchen cabinets, will have to repair that too.
1st, I can’t speak highly enough about our host Linda! Her communication with us was outstanding and she was so accommodating to our family… lending us her children’s life jackets, looking for babysitters for us when ours cancelled. Linda just went above and beyond!Now, about the house: We had family coming in from Alaska, Montana, South Carolina and Wisconsin, it was a feat in itself coordinating everything. The house was just perfect for each family. We never felt like we were on top of eachother, plenty of room. The pool for the 4 and 7 year old was a Godsend, they were like little fishes swimming in there for at least 4 hours a day! The walk to the beach was literally 3 mins, so we could enjoy the pool then go to the beach then back to the pool while the adults prepared grilling dinner, the kids would swim. The description of the house was absolutely spot on. Super clean too! Just a super family friendly house!We will definitely be coming back next year!
Nice, clean house, well equipped kitchen, plenty of beach towels, beach and pool floats, chairs, etc. Nice dining room. Easy one block walk to the beach. One drawback; apparently if the pool needs cleaning, there is nothing that can be done to make the pool useable. We had a storm and I sent a note to management the same day saying it would need to be cleaned (pool guy recommended we do this when we saw him at the start of our stay if we received a lot of rain). Storm was on a Tuesday. On Friday, normal pool cleaning day, it had still not been cleaned because other properties were being prioritized over ours, according to Management (how that priority works, I don't know). Paid a lot to have a pool and couldn't be used for half the stay. As of Saturday morning it still hadn't been cleaned; this part was very disappointing. We enjoyed the house, but really wished we could have used the pool.

Hello Laura,
Thank you for your review and I hope you had a good stay even despite the pool.
I employ local small companies, trying to support small businesses in the area. In case of sever weather (and in this case the level of severity was not expecetd) it is difficult to attend to all pools quickly, especially when there were way more badly hit properties, We do what we can but this is mother nature and we are just people. My apologies if that ruined your vacation but as I said - I hope you still had a good time there. Linda
Loved it! Great location, quick walk to the beach. Pool was super. Clean and well appointed.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. It’s great that you were able to take advantage of the short walk to the beach and relax by the pool. We also appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness and amenities, we work hard to make every stay comfortable and memorable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The property was perfect for our family beach trip. The pool was very warm (more like a hot tub) but very clear and clean. The pans in the kitchen were not clean but we washed and used them. We were very pleased with the property and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for a great beach trip!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear the home was the perfect fit for your family beach trip and that you had such an enjoyable stay. It means a lot to us that you took the time to share your experience.
We also truly appreciate you mentioning the cookware. The pans were brand new, so it’s possible they had collected a bit of dust while being stored in the drawer before their first use.
Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. We’ll be sure everything is sparkling clean and ready for every guest moving forward.
We loved hosting you and hope to welcome you and your family back for another beach getaway in the future!

Why they chose this property
The City of Sarasota, Saint Armands Circle and Lido Beach offer the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and coastal living. The area has an inviting, upscale atmosphere while still feeling laid-back and family-friendly. Everything you could ever want on vacation is just steps away: boutique shopping, grocery, breeze Trolly, Siesta Beach nearby, incredible restaurants, live music, outdoor cafés, and the breathtaking Gulf Beaches with clear turquoise waters, and vibrant sunsets!
The scene here is calm and peaceful. Mornings start with the sound of seabirds and gentle ocean breezes, and evenings wind down with glowing sunsets and the soft buzz of people enjoying the Circle. Explore the nearby mangrove tunnels, or simply wander to the beach with your coffee.
What I enjoy most is the feeling of having it all in one place: world class beaches, stunning natural beauty, adventure, dining, art, and a true Florida coastal vibe. It’s the perfect balance of relaxation and activity- and that’s why guests fall in love with it just as much as I did.
What makes this property unique
Presidential Sands stands out because it offers the rare combination of unbeatable location, modern comfort, and unforgettable coastal experiences, all within a short distance from your front door. Nestled just one block from the white-sand shores of Lido Beach, this home gives guests the ability to wake up and stroll to the Gulf of Mexico in minutes. The vibrant boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and entertainment of St. Armands Circle are equally close, creating a vacation setting where you can park the car and never need it again.
What truly sets this home apart is the access to adventure. Just minutes away are the iconic mangrove tunnels, one of Sarasota’s most magical natural attractions, perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding through peaceful, scenic waterways. Guests love having the option to spend their morning exploring the tunnels, their afternoon sunbathing on Lido Beach, and their evening dining on the Circle all without driving more than a few minutes.
Inside, the home is beautifully designed for comfort, relaxation, and connection. With three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an inviting open layout, Presidential Sands easily accommodates families, friend groups, or couples traveling together. The private in-ground pool creates a true resort feel, offering a tranquil retreat after a day on the beach.
What makes us stand out is the thoughtful balance of luxury and warmth. The home is styled with a coastal-chic feel, equipped with everything guests need, and managed with exceptional responsiveness.
As your host, I pride myself on making every stay seamless, personal, and memorable.
This property isn’t just a vacation, it’s a rare opportunity to experience the absolute best of Saint Armands and Lido Beach in one of the most desirable locations on the entire island.
