Newly renovated in March 2025, this beautiful villa features an open floor plan with new high-end appliances and furnishings throughout. The Kitchen features all new high-gloss white cabinetry and new appliances, including a drawer fridge/freezer and custom under-counter refrigeration system. The large island peninsula with swivel bar stools is the ideal place to have breakfast, or set up your laptop for a work session. This beautiful custom kitchen with tidewater blue countertops and custom Sand Dollar backsplash will delight you with its striking beach colors and modern features. The glass dining table is the perfect place to have a lovely dinner, play a game of cards, or work on a puzzle with plenty of overhead lighting. With a custom built-in dry bar with beverage refrigerator, there's plenty of space for those special bottles of wine or vacation cocktails to enjoy on your vacation. The living room has a leather natuzzi sofa with dual electric recliners to provide that perfect level of relaxation. The two swivel chairs provide a full 360 view of this beautiful villa with views through the window of the peaceful courtyard fountain. The downstairs master bedroom has a velvet king-size bed with luxury linens, a comfortable chair for reading that perfect book, a large oversized dresser, and two closets. The private bathroom has a beautiful walk-in shower with custom tile, and a vanity with plenty of drawers and a frameless LED lighted mirror with an anti-fog setting. The master bedroom hallway has a new full-size ventless stacked washer/dryer unit, and a newly installed on-demand water system, which means you will never run out of hot water. The upstairs loft bedroom has a queen-size bed with a full-size private bathroom with a tub/shower. If you enjoy sitting outside, there is a small balcony off the upstairs bedroom that offers outdoor seating with two chairs and a table to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking one of the beautiful courtyard fountains. Additionally, there are two beach chairs, a cooler, and beach towels for that relaxing day on the beach. The Unit has a dedicated covered parking space just a few steps from the front door, so your car will stay covered and cool, and you won't have far to walk. The complex is very small and extremely quiet with a beautiful courtyard containing two fountains. This villa is a strictly non-smoking pet free unit.
With a maximum occupancy of 4 people, this exquisite villa offers everything you need for the perfect vacation. Ideally located, it's a mere 3 minute walk down the street to Lido Beach. In addition, it's a short walk to St. Armand's circle, renown for its restaurants, shopping, and live music. It's the perfect location to relax and enjoy the best of what Florida has to offer.
The complex requires a minimum 14-night rental. A rental application and criminal background check are required.
NOTE: There is an Owner date block in place for April 20-May 15 for new window installation. If you are interested in booking during those dates and would not be bothered by three days of lower window installations, then I can make those dates available. I currently do not have an exact date for the three days of window installation and I will open dates once I have a schedule from the contractor.

Clean space with everything we needed to stay in for a meal or head out to the beach. Perfect location for heading to the beach. Perfect location for walking to St Armand's circle. Easy drive to Sarasota. Truly enjoyed staying in this unit and the ease of coming and going.
This condo was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. It had all amenities needed for our family and was in a great location. The owner, Mandi, was very attentive and accommodating.
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, stylish and comfortable villa. The place was well equipped and met all our expectations. The hostess was attentive and easy to communicate with. The location was great as it was within walking distance to the beach & town. We would definitely stay here again.
This lovely condo is the perfect distance from the beach and town. Both are walkable. One of the best stocked rentals we have ever stayed in and that is greatly appreciated. No need is overlooked.
Beautifully decorated and comfortable condo, which has been completely renovated since the hurricanes. It is in a perfect location, one block to Lido Beach and 10 minute walk to St. Armand's Circle. There is also a free trolley which takes you around Lido Key and into downtown Sarasota. The host is very helpful and always available by phone. Highly recommend!
A perfect location with excellent accommodation. Added extra’s all around the property from bathroom toiletries to kitchen condiments. Cosy and very clean.
The property was as advertised. Quiet location. Easy 2-block walk to the ocean, easy 0.6 mile walk to St. Armands Circle with several great restaurants and shops, 0.25 mile walk to Ted Sperling nature park where there are plenty of kayak tours of the mangrove tunnels. Nice to be able to leave the car at the property and be able to easily walk everywhere. Communications with Mandi were great and she accommodated an early arrival time.
Located within a very short walk to Lido beach and public swimming pool, the condo was all that was represented and more. Amenities were above and beyond what most owners provide and we were very pleased with the cleanliness, layout and condition of the unit. Highly recommended!
This beautifully decorated villa was a perfect space for a two-week vacation. Less than a two block walk to the beach. Walkable to the shops and restaurants in St. Armands Circle. Two blocks to a kayak tour. The property included a covered parking space. We only drove to the grocery, restaurants downtown Sarasota, and golf. We were very comfortable in the villa. Everything was very clean upon arrival. We had brought our own coffee because in most places coffee is not available the first morning, but there was coffee available here. Also available for us, were towels, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, toilet paper, soaps, lotions, and many small extras. There were many books and games available to use. We did some cooking, and there were things provided such as bowls, pots and pans, utensils, dishes. The washer/dryer was very useful as we were able to wash clothes during our stay. The beach chairs and umbrella were very nice to have as we enjoy sitting at the beach. The door code versus a key is very helpful so we didn't worry about losing a key. My husband had to work while were there, and he was able to use the internet. The only thing that happened that the owners had no control over was the whole building containing all the villas lost internet for a day. The owners were on it immediately calling the internet company and calling to follow up with us. It was a very comfortable place to stay and enjoy our two weeks at Lido Key.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay in this condo. Its central location gave us the ability to walk through all of the neighborhoods on Lido and St. Armand's keys and Ted Sperling park at the south end of Lido. The one block walk to the beach was a bonus as well. The condo itself is beautifully furnished, with nice artwork and unexpected decorative details. The kitchen area is compact, but fully equipped. The living area is quite comfortable, and the high ceilings and upstairs loft make it feel spacious. The bathrooms are supplied with plenty of towels and upscale toiletries. The bedrooms have attractive furniture and linens and plenty of closet space. The washer/dryer was quite useful for small loads. The only negative was the bed in the loft - it was squeaky and the mattress was uncomfortable. Despite that, we would definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay in this condo. We were appreciative of having the beach umbrella to compliment our own beach items. The washer/dryer came in handy for our lengthy stay as well. The condo was clean and exactly as advertised. The proximity to both St. Armand’s Circle and the beach was perfect. We also enjoyed being able to watch a couple of movies during our down time. The only issue we had was that there was not much air flow into the primary bedroom and it was quite warm at night. We purchased an additional fan to make it more comfortable. We didn’t notify the owner of this because there wasn’t anything that could be done. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Sarasota area.
This was a beautiful condo, very well equipped and the location was great. Just a few minutes to walk to the beach. Definitely able to walk to stores & restaurants if you choose. Washing machine & dryer was a bonus! For us, the only downside was nowhere to sit right outside. ( we were aware of this when we booked it) That to me was the only small downside. I highly recommend this condo!
Great condo, well appointed, welcoming and comfortable. Close to beach and St Armand’s Circle for plenty to keep you occupied. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This condo is lovely and the location is great. Very quiet but easy walk to shops and restaurants. Lido beach is a beautiful beach for walking and shelling.

About the host
Hosted by Mandi Cantrell
My husband and I bought the Lido Beach Retreat Villa because we love the area and the amenities on Lido and how close we are to everything, including the beach. The restaurants are amazing and there are so many cute boutiques and shops. We live full-time on the mainland, but we love getting away to the Island for long weekends. We consider the Villa our second home.
Why they chose this property
Lido Beach Retreat Villa is very quiet and peaceful. It's location is ideal, it's a short walk to the beach and about a 10-15 walk to St. Armand's Circle with it's beautiful boutiques and fabulous restaurants. It's beautifully decorated and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each guest has departed. Each guest deals directly with the owner, not a property management company.
