This rental is right off the circle. It is easy to get around, many shops, cafes and restaurants just steps away. The beach is a short walk with easy access to all the beach amenities at the Lido Beach public facilities. The space is clean and comfortable and provided all we needed for our party of four.

Ocean and ice cream!

This is the second year renting this quiet beautifully decorated unit. The complex is friendly with lush ground and a heated pool. The beach is a 6 minute walk. The circle is around the corner with our favorite restaurants and Olaf's homemade ice cream! What's not to love?

Everything was listed properly. This clean, quiet, condo has a very clean pool area. The condo is 465 feet from St. Armand's Circle. We were walking distance to Lido Key Beach. You do not need a car to get around. Everything is within walking distance. We will definitely stay in this condo again.

Great stay ! Great service !

You cannot go wrong with Sarasota beach vacation rentals. The condo was as it was represented and the staff was attentive and checked on us to make sure everything was in order. The cable is basic (unless we did not know how to operate it, which could be the case) But TV is certainly not why you come to Sarasota anyhow. Lovely time in this spacious condo and so accessible to everything. We HIGHLY recommend this company as they are honest, professional and personable ! We will be back !!! Jack and Sandy Morgan

Another great stay at this property

Our little family has been coming to lido Beach Sarasota area for years. It's a quieter beach but that's our preference but still pristine white sands. Beautiful water. Very clean. Parking and beach access is much easier than siesta Key. I was delighted to see that the property had some updates when I arrived at the condo. Furniture changes, paint color changes. Very nice additions and much needed changes. It's a great quiet place to stay this time of year. The property is always very clean. You can't beat the access to Saint armands. Very helpful. Staff will stay again

Loved the condo and location

A friend and I stayed at this spacious, quiet 2nd floor condo May 11-18, 2025. Everything was great, no complaints. Easy access with keypad upon arrival and good communication with management. Pictures are accurate, VERY clean and comfortable. I wish I would have used the heated pool more; it was wonderful and the water temperature was perfect. Easy access, a couple of blocks, to the beautiful beach. Beach chairs, umbrella and towels are available at the condo if you want to use them. Saint Armands with many shops and restaurants is around the corner. I recommend the Columbia Restaurant, very good food (but more expensive than some other places.) They had the best Key Lime Pie. We rarely drove anywhere, one time to Publix grocery store on Longboat Key and another time to Siesta Key to take a dolphin tour. We were fortunate to have great weather, low to mid 80’s during the day (humid of course) and 70’s at night. Construction continues on the first floor condos in this complex.

Overall, my group and I had an amazing experience. Although there was a hiccup in our original unit with the water heater, the host immediately responded and had us put in a separate unit for no additional charge as well as offering a reimbursement. The host was extremely communicative and offered support at all times. The proximity to St. Armand’s and Lido public beaches was fantastic and a minutes walk. I would definitely recommend this property!

6/10 Okay

Great location but this visit lacked attention

We have visited this property many times over the years as always we love the location proximity to St Armands and Lido Beach which is important to us. Unfortunately this most recent visit presented missteps. 1. 1st day - AC was not working although quickly rectified it is managed remotely therefore the occupants cannot adjust the AC on their own so we froze at night and were moderately comfortable during the day. Occupants need to be able.to adjust the a/c according to their needs. 2. Majority of the beach equipment in the equipment closet is worn and broken; one working umbrella and two nice chairs the rest of the equipment should be discarded. 3. It is customary for vacation rentals to offer full size toiletries for their guest - NOT tiny starter kits 4. Lighting in the condo should be updated: several lamps didn't have bulbs. 5. Better pillows must be offered; ours were flat and tired. 6. This visit the spa and pool were dirty during majority of our visit. Pool cleaning service should be more frequent when more guests/residents are present.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug, 2023
Hi Jamie, I am sorry there were issues during your stay. Sorry for my confusion but you are able to adjust the AC. There is a thermostat by the kitchen where you can adjust the temp to your liking. I believe this may have been user error. We do supply a starter kit for guests as a courtesy. We will make sure the check the beach items, pillows, and light bulbs. Sorry we missed these items.

This villa had everything we were looking for in a vacation getaway! Steps away from shopping and restaurants, and a short walk to Lido Beach! The unit was private, quiet and beautifully appointed.
