Great location! Main house was clean bathrooms and light fixtures including fans were not great. Bedding was also not clean on one room. Kitchen was well stocked. I thought 4 pm check in and 10 am checkout was inconvenient and lacked value. For the cost of this home, noon or 1:00 for check in and check out would be much more reasonable and hospitable. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Thank you for your feedback on Stone’s Throw, Robyn. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found the kitchen well stocked that’s always a plus for a beach getaway. That said, we’re truly sorry to hear about the cleanliness concerns you experienced. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we wish we had the chance to address it during your stay. Your comments about the bathrooms, fixtures, and bedding have been shared with our team for immediate attention. Regarding check-in and check-out times, these are set to allow our housekeeping team the proper time to prepare each home to our standards, especially during busy turnover days. We understand it can feel tight, and we do offer early check-in or late check-out when availability allows. We appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us continue to improve. We’re sorry we didn’t meet expectations this time, but we hope you were still able to enjoy some time on the island.
Great location and nice property. Host was very responsive when repairing the WI-FI and replacing the CO detector batteries.

We booked this property at the last minute, and it turned out to be an absolute gem! The location is unbeatable—just a two-minute walk to stunning Lido Beach and about ten minutes on foot to vibrant St. Armands Circle, filled with great restaurants and shops.The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. You can tell the hosts take great pride in their property—they were attentive, responsive, and made sure our visit was smooth from start to finish.We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and perfectly located getaway on Lido Key!

Kaitlin, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home, pool, and location. We hope to host you again soon!
Where do I start. The house was exactly as described. It was beautifully decorated, the kitchen was well stocked, and the pool/spa was perfect when you wanted to relax. The location was superb. The neighborhood was quiet but close to everything. The beach was a short walk away. The owner’s made sure we had plenty of beach towels, chairs, and a wagon to easily transport these items. We also enjoyed some early morning bike rides. The owner’s provided four bikes to explore the area. We spent a lovely afternoon at St. Armand’s Circle. It can best be described as an outdoor mall with unique and high end retail. The restaurant choices were plentiful. All in all, I wouldn’t think twice about staying at Stone’s Throw. If I could give this vacation home/getaway ten stars I would. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Wow, thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear the home exceeded your expectations—from the beautiful décor and well-stocked kitchen to the relaxing pool and spa. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the quiet yet convenient location, the short walk to the beach, and all the thoughtful extras like beach gear and bikes. We’re so glad you had the chance to explore St. Armand’s Circle and make the most of your stay. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another five-star (or ten-star!) experience!
We had the absolute best time at this gem of a beach house while visiting St. Armand’s. Anything that you could possibly want to do in the area was right at your fingertips and a short stroll away! The pool, spa and ping-pong table were so nice to come back to after the beach or dinner out on the circle! It was great for our small family of four spring break trip! Highly recommend!

Thank you for your positive review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the convenient location, the pool, the layout, and the well-equipped kitchen during your stay. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
The kitchen was equipped with equipment (crock pot, lol) but nothing needed to cook. Not even salt or oil!There were no plastic/kid dishes and no Tupperware so no ability to store food.Know that the mgmt providers 2 rolls of TP per bathroom, 2 laundry pods and 2 dishwasher pods, only for your entire stay. Which was annoying for trying to just relax and need to go buy basic kitchen items and TP. The WiFi did not work at all the entire trip. The mgmt provided a hot spot they had to “add data” to every day or two or else everything went dark. They also delivered the hot spot but left it to us to connect it to each of the four smart TVs. The house and location are amazing, it was a good set up for us layout, pool, proximity to beach wise but basic essentials (include 1-2 toys even- not even for the pool) were lacking for our family with younger kids. If you plan to eat out all your meals and have zero down time at home (no need for tv, games etc) 10/10 would recommend

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the home’s layout, pool, and beachside location, and we appreciate you noting both the highlights and areas for improvement.
Our homes are stocked with a starter supply of essential household items, as outlined in the pre-arrival information provided before check-in. While pantry items are not routinely supplied, we do provide basic cookware and are always happy to assist if something appears to be missing. During your stay, we were not made aware of any kitchen supply concerns, but our local team would have gladly helped if notified.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the WiFi interruption. Once identified, our team promptly delivered a hotspot to restore connectivity for the remainder of your stay.
Thank you again for your feedback. Your comments have been shared internally as we continue to improve the guest experience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
I loved my stay at Stone's Throw. The cottage is absolutely cute and cozy. Loved the pool, regardless of the mosquitos. Super close to the beach and gorgeous neighborhood.

We loved our stay at this property! The pool and hot tub were wonderful, my family got so much use out of it! The location is perfect, just a couple blocks away from shopping, dining and beaches. The house was great for our family of five to have plenty of room for the week and was well stocked. Thank you so much!

The house was excellent in almost all respects. It was clean, comfortable, well decorated, well equipped and very well located. Our only issue was that the dishwasher didn't get the dishes as clean as we would have liked.

You can’t find a better location than this! The decor is very cute and the the pool/hot tub are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. My only complaint is that there isn’t a comfortable outdoor space. On a pretty day, I would find myself often reading on the living room couch rather than poolside where I’d rather be if not for the hard lounge chairs.

Dear Carlene,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. The owners of the home have since bought 2 new cushioned armchairs with the side table for the patio space that we hope are much more comfortable to relax and read a book in when you come back and stay with us again!
Sincerely,
Lido Key Vacations
very nice and cozy house. In reality, everything is as in the photo in the ad. Near the ocean. it was convenient to go with children, and there were 6 of them from 12 years to 9 months. The only thing that needs to be worked on is that the bed in the master bedroom does not creak, and the dryer only works on one program. Everything else is great!

Aleksandr, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the location. We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to pass everything along to our team and owners. Thank you.
The home was wonderful for our group. Master suite was lovely. Other bedrooms were great for the adult children and grandchild. Construction noise next door was a little loud at times but not in control of home owners. I understand the door alarm is required, but that was annoying after the granddaughter was in bed. Very loud. In a previous stay in Florida, the alarm was a chime and did not escalate as the door remained open. But perhaps city ordinance requires a loud annoying alarm. Location was fabulous. Close to beach and St. Armand's Circle. The wagon, beach chairs, beach towels, and sand toys were essential for the beach visits. Fabulous stay. Thank you.
