For years, Lori traveled from the cold winters of Washington, D.C., to the sunshine of the Gulf Coast for the ultimate Florida getaways. She instantly fell in love with Sarasota, especially the pristine shores of Lido Beach and the eclectic shopping and fantastic restaurants of St. Armands Circle.

Tired of the typical vacation hassle of searching for parking, Lori sought out the perfect coastal property where everything is within reach. She found this hidden gem nestled among rich, private vegetation, offering guests the rare luxury of walking to both the beach and the Circle. Lori passion for travel and connecting with people from all over the world shines through in every detail of this home!

Spending your hard-earned vacation driving around looking for parking is a waste of your most important commodity: quality time! I chose this specific spot because it offers the rare combination of a quiet, private tropical paradise with total walkability.

Lido Key is a nature lover's dream. At both ends of the key, you will find beautiful parks—like South Lido County Park—perfect for biking, walking, and exploring the observation decks overlooking the stunning Florida mangroves. Ready to get on the water? Local kayak paddleboard rentals are available nearby to explore the famous mangrove tunnels and natural shorelines surrounding Sarasota Bay.

A Private, Tropically Landscaped Heated Pool
The crown jewel of this property is your own private, fully heated pool. Hidden away behind dense, lush tropical landscaping, this backyard oasis feels like a secluded paradise. While other rentals have unheated pools that stay chilly for half the year, our premium pool heater ensures the water temperature is absolutely perfect for a morning swim or a relaxing evening dip, no matter the season.

Designed to Maximize Your Vacation Time
We know that every minute of your getaway is precious quality time. We have custom-designed this home with unique features to eliminate the typical vacation bottlenecks:

Dual-Vanity Convenience: We added an extra indoor bathroom sink and vanity mirror outside the main bath setup. This allows two people to easily get ready at the exact same time—no more waiting around to brush your teeth or fix your hair.

Luxury Outdoor Shower: Perfect for rinsing off right after a sun-soaked afternoon at Lido Beach or a swim in the pool, keeping the indoor spaces clean, dry, and sand-free.

Why waste your hard-earned vacation time waiting in line for a bathroom when you could be relaxing poolside or walking down to the Gulf Coast surf?
