Fantastic stay in Lido Key. The property was spotless and the rooms were great with everything needed. The pool was the highlight for our two children. We regularly walked to the beach and Saint Armands Circle - both under 15 minutes walk.

Our family stayed here on spring break with two children. The kids loved the pool and the adults loved hanging out on the lanai. We were able to listen to music thru the Bluetooth speakers or watch tv all while being outside near the pool. The space inside was newly remodeled and very nice. The walk to the beach and St. Armand’s is farther than other places we’ve stayed on Lido, but this is by far our favorite rental! We are already planning our next stay. Highly recommended!
