About the host

Hosted by Deb and Ed Mackiewicz

Host profile image
We are beach lovers - in the truest sense! Over thirty five years ago, we met on a California beach while helping a lost child and we've been married and beachcombing around the world ever since - in between raising two incredible children and our careers. Today, our parents live just down the road and we split our time between Lido Key and our home in Ridgefield, CT. We enjoy and love our two family beach cottages, which we have named Lido Pelican Cottage and Lido Flamingo Cottage. We look forward to sharing them with you!

Why they chose this property

We've been looking for the perfect beach and community to plant our umbrellas. Lido Key (and Sarasota), Florida has just the right combination of incredible beaches and sunsets, terrific dining, shopping and entertainment, and an impressive cultural community with fine arts, opera, ballet, museums and gardens.

Lido Pelican Cottage is just the right size for family and friend gatherings with so much to do within walking distance of the home. This is the perfect vacation spot for the family and friends with multiple and diverse interests!

Expertly outfitted for your comfort, you can grab the beach buggy, load up the chairs, toys and towels and walk down the sand dune path to the beach, OR you can stroll to St Armands Circle, where you can shop, grab a burger or enjoy fine French, Columbian, Asian Fusion or fresh seafood dinner , get ice cream, listen to live music, dance under the stars and enjoy the seasonal festivals that come to the Circle OR you can grab one of the three bicycles and ride around Lido Key, Longboat Key, or even cross the bridge to Sarasota. You can also ride to the other side of Lido Key, where you can rent kayaks and take a guided tour through the mangroves, spotting manatees, dolphins, rays and lots of fish and crabs that live in the bay. Jet skiing rental is also available close by.

Close by is the world renown Mote Aquarium (also on Lido Key!), downtown Sarasota (which has blocks and blocks of dining, shopping, live music, outdoor dancing, etc.), and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Of course there is also the Ringling Museum, the world ranked Ringling school of art and design. Several playhouses, opera house, ballet company, and impressive shows at the Van Wetzel!

Please come enjoy our special paradise by the sea. We hope you'll want to come again and again!

What makes this property unique

The beauty of Pelican Cottage is that you can enjoy a secluded beach retreat and/or dip your toes into the vibrant St Armands Circle, only 2 blocks away, where there is dining options ranging from fine to delis, high end designer shops as well as T-shirt and flip flop shops, ice cream and fudge parlors, indoor/outdoor cafes, full service spas, tour booking companies and more.

For those with a cultural bent, Sarasota (only a 5 minute car/bus/trolley ride) has world class museums, ballet, opera, and symphony companies as well as great entertainment options such as comedy clubs, live music venues, and a wide variety of cuisine options. Advance reservations/tickets are recommended as this area is teeming with artists and art aficionados! (Fun Fact: Sarasota was the winter home for the Ringling & Barnum & Bailey Circus and is the home of world class Ringling School of Art and Design)

If you love the outdoors, Lido Key has much to offer, from kayaking in the mangroves, walking through the North Lido Nature Preserve, sailing, golfing, Bay or Deep Sea Fishing, even basketball is nearby!
