Little Gem!

The property is beautiful. The updates are very nice, some need to be finished and tweaked. :) Pool was very nice and clean. Grounds are kept clean. They are still working on a few areas on the property since the hurricane which is understandable. We drove to the beach. You could walk but for us, too far in the heat. Beaches are very nice. South and public. South has lots of shells! When leaving we were stopped by a lady who rents nearby and wanted to let the owners know how great of a job was done on the grounds and how beautiful it looks! Please add an iron and ironing board to unit. We would return!

Simple Simon, no fuss no muss.

Perfect little spot for the 5 of us. We don’t mind sleeping as a family together as it reminds us of the old days. Stayed for 5 nights and we enjoyed it very much. Simple and easy walk to town and the beach. Would stay here again.

Excellent experience!

I highly recommend this adorable and comfortable unit in Lido Key! The accommodations are perfect for up to five people (if one is willing to sleep on the pullout) and the open, airy layout of the unit make it feel much bigger than it is. It could not be better situated on the key, as it's walking distance to everything and anything you would need - including the best beach at Lido and the popular Armand Circle. We had a fantastic experience at this property and will be staying there again in the future.

Everything you need at Lido Key

My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at this property. Good sized living room separated from the bedroom so an early riser won’t disturb a sleeping partner. Two bathrooms were a great convenience when returning from the beach. Perfect location for walking to restaurants, beach and kayaking! We had bikes delivered to do some daily riding around the neighborhood. We plan to book this condo again.

Small place

After the initial shock. The entrance and path are shabby and the place is very small. It was tight for two people so saying it sleeps six is a stretch. On the positive side. It was clean, the two beds comfortable and the abundant towels were fluffy. It was adequately equipped with glasses and china. It is situated just 5 minutes from the Lido beach and 20 minutes stroll from St Armands Circle

Lovely Stay Shy The Mattresses

It was a lovely place at Lido, but mattresses really matter to us and they were way too hard/firm and we didn’t sleep well. The coffee maker was the other negative, we had to make 2 pots per day. A 12 cup black and decker coffeemaker would be a great $25 investment.

Disappointed

This “ condo”is proof that pictures do lie. Let me start by saying that the location of this property is excellent. You can walk everywhere. The beds were pretty comfortable. However, It’s downhill from there. There is not one comfortable chair in this place and the tired sofa and chairs were filthy. We had to cover them with towels before sitting on them. Spent our brief time indoors sitting on bar stools. We eventually brought the dirty porch chairs inside. The kitchen cabinets were actually greasy. Our white socks quickly became black on the bottoms from the dirty floors. There is very little closet space, like next to nothing. The closet is filled with a vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies and the air conditioner. No room to hang more than a handful of items.There is no way 6 people could stay here comfortably. It would be impossibly crowded. I woke to a giant cockroach in the bathtub. The washing machine was broken for our entire stay. Called the management four times and ,although they answered promptly, they did not do anything to remedy the problem, or return our money. We finally had to drive 20 minutes to a sketchy laundromat. The pool furniture was broken, dirty and sparse. We spent as little time as possible indoors, which was hard to do with the red tide. For the money, this place was a HUGE disappointment. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a long time!

What an amazing vaca! The villa was just perfect for me! I was able to have my parents visit for a few days and the following week my girlfriend flew in to make some of my time there a girl’s trip. Loved the location and that the back door is right beside the community pool. Uber works well in the Sarasota area. Or if you have a car, you have nice parking right out the front door. Very comfortable and relaxing and Lido Beach is a 10 minute walk. The Tiki Bar on the beach was really fun too! Very good piña coladas! Definitely will be back!!!!
