We are already looking to come back! The cottage was exactly as it is listed. It was cozy and had everything you would need during your stay. The owners brought out a heater and extra covers when the temperature dropped. Very nice and safe area. Being able to walk to the beach was a bonus!

About the host

Hosted by Lou & Camille Buck

Host profile image
30 year Florida Resident originally from Kansas City, Missouri. Moved from Tampa in 2013 with my Real Estate License and started selling homes with Michael Saunders and Company. I met and was married to my husband Lou in 2020 who partners in managing and maintaining the property I love Sarasota and think everyone should live here. Life is a journey.

Why they chose this property

I met a couple on the beach that stayed in this unit prior to my buying it. They described it as one of there happiest times. Lido Key is a friendly place to visit and live and there are no strangers. This suite located at the back of my house has a private entrance and yard, not big enough for more than two people and one four legged friend. In Real Estate you learn very quickly Location, Location, Location that is why I live here. Most everything is a matter of minutes away and Sarasota road system is very logical and easy to get around. Bicycles are available for your use as is a Outdoor Grill and beach chairs. You will have a parking spot off the road a Laundry Room that we share. Sunsets are spectacular and St. Armand Circle shopping and dinning is a dream.

What makes this property unique

I love dogs and have a Miniature Schnauzer that is brilliant of course. The property has a 3' high metal fence with gate. The Blvd of the Presidents is a lovely place to walk dogs with poop bags provided and trash bins. Dogs are even welcome down on the Circle in most shops and outdoor dining restaurants.
The past two annual renters to stay here have purchased a property from me.
If you are interested in your own piece of paradise and you purchase property from me within 12 months, I will credit you one-week rental at closing.
