We spent a great week at this lovely cottage on Lido Key. The house was immaculate and included everything we might need. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were spotless, and we had plenty of room for 2 couples. Beach chairs, umbrellas, a small cooler, a beach bag, and plenty of beach towels were there for our use. A strong wind blew our umbrella inside out and broke some spokes. We informed our host so that he could provide a new one for the next guests. A new one was provided for us the very next day! We can’t wait to book this property again for our next visit to Sarasota.

This was a fabulous place to stay. Very easy access, rooms are bigger than the photos and it has all the amenities you need for a very comfortable stay. Lots of beach towels, beach bags, beach chairs, fully stocked kitchen. We walked to the beach every day. We never checked out the community pool so we have no feed back on that. We would definitely come back!!

This home is updated, filled with everything you need to make simple meals, and owner provides beach equipment. I could walk to my conference at a local resort (Ledo Beach Resort) in less than 5 minutes. The master bed was very comfortable and the AC kept up cool!

Short family vacation

Took a short trip to Florida for business/family vacation. Amazing rental with a quick walk to the beach. Exactly what we were looking for. The home had everything we were looking for and had the extras we needed or forgot about. Immaculate home in a great area. Able to walk to local shopping and easy getting around Sarasota. If we come back we'll definitely stay at this rental again!

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

This is a great little place for a getaway to the beach. Right within walking distance to both the beach and Armaund Circle. We had a blast. 2 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. Went kayaking at Coastal Kayak Adventures that is also within walking distance. enjoyed the sunsets! We'll be back.

Clean, close to beach, nice touches

This property is one block from the beautiful Lido Beach and the lovely sunsets. House is small, but also cozy, very well-maintained and comes with nice extra touches (soap and shampoo provided, bottle of wine, beach towels and beach coolers/gear available for use). Comfy beds--even the sofabed was reasonably comfortable. The large screened-in patio was pleasant. Only negative I can think of is the long driveway and tight spaces for turning the car about.

Welcoming, clean and wonderfully stocked!

Absolutely loved the huge screened in porch (a bit warm for July but would be even better if a little cooler weather)! Definitely one of the cleanest if not THE cleanest VRBO we’ve stayed in. Kitchen stocked with any dish, utensil or item you could ever need. A bonus that there was enough toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, plus other items for our stay. One note to mention - the communal pool is at the public beach and not part of this complex. Check in was easy and check out duties minimal and quick. Highly recommend this property!

Great Place to relax

We got to spend the week at this great house that is close to everything. We went Fishing, swimming, shopping relaxing by the ocean, walk on the beach, watch the sun set and so much more. We plan on returning and as soon as we can. My daughter left her necklace at the house and they even took the time to ship it back to us! The whole Florida vacation was great. Thanks so much!!

Jackie and Davidson: You were excellent host. This place was immaculately clean. It had everything you could possibly need from beach towels, beach chairs, first aid kits and all of the kitchen amenities necessary. It was an intimate place for the purpose of hitting a few spots in Sarasota and enjoying the beach with close friends, Thanks folks for your welcoming communication.

Lido Beach Bungalow

The location of the property was ideal, 1 1/2 blocks to beach, 6 blocks or so to St. Armand's Circle. All our provisions were provided for. In fact, when we asked the owner, Davidson, if there was a wagon to take our things to the beach, he said no, but I'll get you one. Which he did several hours later. We had a great experience.

Lido beach cottage

Cute & well maintained cottage within easy walk to the beach. I originally booked for 5 related adults, yet 2 ended up not making the trip, so the space was super for 3 adults & may have been a little too cozy for 5. Perfect for a family with kids though! We loved using the provided wagon to haul things to & from the beach and also appreciated the provided beach chairs & towels. Parking at the house a little tight, so if renting a car, get a smaller one, yet we really appreciated the off street parking. We loved that we walked everywhere unless we went over to Sarasota mainland. We would go back to this cottage if we ever are back in the area! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Lido Key Beach Cottage

Our family of 5 enjoyed a wonderful 5 day vacation in the beach cottage house. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. The covered back patio was wonderful after a long day at the beach to relax with lots of privacy. The property came with 6 Tommy Bahama beach chairs and two brand new umbrellas. Coolers were also provided. Even had a cart to bring everything to the beach, which was about 2-3 blocks away. Nice quiet neighborhood. Was hot during our visit so we opted to drive to St. Armands Circle for dinner versus the 15-20 minute walk each direction. Beach is about an 8 minute walk. We had a rental car but there was room for at least one more car. Very quiet and private. The washer and dryer were nice to have as we did several loads of laundry to help us get organized for our trip home. Would definitely rent the unit again.

Frustrating

Unfortunately, we learned of the red tide problem in the area after we booked. We couldn't go because we were concerned for the health of family members, as the air quality was bad. The owner promised us in writing to switch our stay to a different week he did not honor his word. After a week of trying to get calrification on a solution, he finally he changed his mind and wouldn't return the money or book a different week for us. It was a very frustrating experience!

Why they chose this property

We were intrigued by the fact that the property was built in the 1920's by John Ringling for his staff with seven stand alone homes in White Sands Of Lido. After looking around Florida, the Sarasota area has such beauty and so many cultural and outdoor activities that we were hooked. We are looking forward to retirement, but didn't want to be in a 'retirement' area. This is a fun, active, diverse and healthy place to enjoy and laid back at the same time with so much to do.

What makes this property unique

A unique vacation property value. Located one tenth of a mile from the Lido Beach, two tenths of a mile to wonderful pool on the beach, 3 tenths of a mile to a park on Sarasota Bay with shower facilities and Kayak rentals and launch, rental & electric bikes close by, bike paths, about a half mile to St. Armands Circle.

97% of our guests return if they revisit the area!!
