Thank you for your wonderful review, Julia! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location, the pool, and our communication! Your recommendation means a lot to us. We would love to welcome you back anytime!
Beautiful place. Needs more kitchen items (pots, colander, kitchen towels, pitcher). Could not access the pool from the back door because the landscaping was overgrown and covering the path. Internet for tv streaming was poor. Great location. Clean!

The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the convenience of the laundry as well as the quiet setting for enjoying the pool. The beach is a short walk and with the nature preserve just feet away we saw really cool birds!

Great place to stay with updated interior. Walk in distance to the beach and easy parking. Will use again if visiting Sarasota!
The apartment was charming, very clean, and accurately represented in the listing. We were in Lido Beach for business, however, and unfortunately there was no Wi-Fi in the unit for the entire four-night stay. We contacted the host daily, and although maintenance was sent each time, the issue was never resolved. As a result, we were unable to use our laptops for work, and we also couldn’t watch TV during our stay. Additionally, there was a constant drip in one of the showers, which added to the overall inconvenience.For guests traveling purely for leisure, this property would likely be a great fit. I requested a partial refund due to the inconvenience and received 50 back from the more than 1,200 we paid.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the apartment clean, charming, and accurately represented. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced during your stay, especially while traveling for work.
Our team responded promptly and, during multiple visits, confirmed that the Wi-Fi and TV were functioning properly at those times. While we weren’t able to identify an ongoing issue, we did offer partial compensation as a courtesy. The shower drip you mentioned has also since been resolved. We appreciate your stay and your comments as we continue to improve the guest experience.

Incredible
Beautiful rental! Everything was well stocked plenty of kitchen supplies! Right next to the pool and the beach! Plenty of privacy and a quiet area. Definitely will book again next time I come to town!
Perfect little spot for the 5 of us. We don’t mind sleeping as a family together as it reminds us of the old days. Stayed for 5 nights and we enjoyed it very much. Simple and easy walk to town and the beach. Would stay here again.

Most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a long time!
What an amazing vaca! The villa was just perfect for me! I was able to have my parents visit for a few days and the following week my girlfriend flew in to make some of my time there a girl’s trip.
Loved the location and that the back door is right beside the community pool. Uber works well in the Sarasota area. Or if you have a car, you have nice parking right out the front door. Very comfortable and relaxing and Lido Beach is a 10 minute walk. The Tiki Bar on the beach was really fun too! Very good piña coladas! Definitely will be back!!!!
We have stayed in this community previously and love the area. We had an issue with the AC but the host was quick to respond and remedy the situation. We will be back to Lido again soon.

The unit was clean and comfortable. About a 1 block walk to beach. Across the street from
the park to rent kayaks. Photos are accurate. Would recommend.

Excellent experience!
I highly recommend this adorable and comfortable unit in Lido Key! The accommodations are perfect for up to five people (if one is willing to sleep on the pullout) and the open, airy layout of the unit make it feel much bigger than it is. It could not be better situated on the key, as it's walking distance to everything and anything you would need - including the best beach at Lido and the popular Armand Circle. We had a fantastic experience at this property and will be staying there again in the future.
My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at this property. Good sized living room separated from the bedroom so an early riser won’t disturb a sleeping partner. Two bathrooms were a great convenience when returning from the beach. Perfect location for walking to restaurants, beach and kayaking! We had bikes delivered to do some daily riding around the neighborhood. We plan to book this condo again.

Thanks for staying with us Patty! Loved hosting you
The property is beautiful. The updates are very nice, some need to be finished and tweaked. :) Pool was very nice and clean. Grounds are kept clean. They are still working on a few areas on the property since the hurricane which is understandable. We drove to the beach. You could walk but for us, too far in the heat. Beaches are very nice. South and public. South has lots of shells! When leaving we were stopped by a lady who rents nearby and wanted to let the owners know how great of a job was done on the grounds and how beautiful it looks! Please add an iron and ironing board to unit. We would return!
After the initial shock. The entrance and path are shabby and the place is very small.
It was tight for two people so saying it sleeps six is a stretch.
On the positive side. It was clean, the two beds comfortable and the abundant towels were fluffy. It was adequately equipped with glasses and china.
It is situated just 5 minutes from the Lido beach and 20 minutes stroll from St Armands Circle
