Great location, short walk to beautiful beach & St. Armand Circle. Highly recommend Venezia for Italian & vibe. Host was quick to respond when contacted. Comfortable King size bed! Thank you for a relaxing week.
Jan and Chris were fantastically welcoming and helpful. They did a great job decorating and outfitting the unit with everything we could possibly want. We look forward to returning next year.
So close to a beautiful beach!… Very clean, very comfortable bed (my wife slept in longer than she has in months!), kitchen came with all the appliances we needed, wi-Fi was flawless… I would definitely go back!

Hi Ken, thank you for the review. you are welcome back anytime.
Place was better than advertised. We have stayed at 2 of Jans places now and she is one of the best host. Very nice place in a perfect location. Right by the beach or st Armand’s for entertainment.
The place was perfect for us. Really enjoyed it and easy to maintain. Best part it was a lot closer to the beach than it looked and easy access. Also, going to Armand Circle was such a breeze.
We really enjoyed this perfect getaway we can walk it downtown we can walk to the beach we didn't have to drive anywhere place was clean well organized I'm definitely going to make a trip back

About the host
Hosted by Jan
We are Chris & Jan and we have lived on laid back Lido Key since 2013 and owned on Lido even longer. Both of us are retired (Chris recently - yahoo!) and as we say we are "living the dream" on Lido. Jan's a retired banker from Maple Shade, NJ which is where we met in 2000. At that time she did not know I would become the way for her to move to Florida away from the snow and ice of winters. We've been together ever since. She's also the brains of our rentals. I’m a Florida native that grew up in South Florida beaches and have lived all over the state. I'm retired after having worked as a Sales & Marketing Executive seemingly spending more time on planes and in hotels around the world that at home over the past 20 years. I'm pretty handy and handle the maintenance. We've been so fortunate to have made so many friends with people that have rented from us and many come back year after year.

Why they chose this property
No place better than Lido. This is a small complex of 10 condos that's quiet and convenient. Lido Key is located on a laid back barrier island close to trendy and vibrant downtown Sarasota on the west coast of Florida. The area is known for great beaches, good food, outdoor activities, local attractions and lots of sunshine. We are centrally located on Lido Key a block to the beach and short walk to St. Armand's Circle for boutique shopping and outdoor seating restaurants. Downtown is minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Small beach community with easy access to the great beach, restaurants, arts, and sites in Sarasota. Welcome to our island and we hope you enjoy your stay. We are Chris & Jan owner operators of Vacation Rentals on Lido. We have lived on Lido Key since 2013 and are truly "Living the Dream". Not all vacation rentals are created equal on the island. We take your needs, comfort and time you spend with us seriously. We believe that your time with us should be trouble free and if you need anything it's our job to help you.
