About this property

Newly Updated 2 Bedroom, BEACHY SPEAKEASY, by LIDO BEACH, in ST ARMAND'S CIRLCE

Step into a slice of Sarasota paradise nestled in the heart of St Armand's Circle! This isn't just any rental, it's an experience waiting to unfold. Picture this: a vibrant rooftop deck, just a skip away from the pristine Lido Beach, and surrounded by the charm of boutiques, shops, and eateries within walking distance.

Now, about this place! Forget the conventional—this condo's got a secret. Tucked behind an unassuming blue door lies a vibrant world, drawing inspiration from speakeasy culture blended with a laid-back beach vibe. Your adventure starts the moment you step in, greeted by a hidden washer and dryer, a concrete-floor corridor leading to a quirky 2 small flight stairway (no elevators here!), and a code-locked doorknob entrance to your abode on the second floor for extra security and privacy..

Inside, discover a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath haven with a fully equipped kitchen. The fusion of beachy elements and speakeasy accents is evident in every nook and cranny.

Parking? Fear not! While dedicated parking isn't available, fret not, as the Beachy Speakeasy is a haven for pedestrians and Uber aficionados. Want to bike around? Use our provided bikes (or rent electric scooter sand bikes), beach gear, and even a trusty beach wagon for a hassle-free time at the shore without the parking fuss.

Ah, transportation! Explore the area with ease—the a free trolley whisks you from St Armand's Circle to Downtown Sarasota and beyond. And if wheels are your preference, plenty of nearby free and paid parking spots await.

Back at your cozy retreat, lounge in the main living area with a comfortable blue velvet sofa futon, 2 blue velvet chairs, and coastal-themed accents. Head out to the rooftop deck for morning coffee and breakfast, lunch or dinner & evening drinks on our new patio dining table with 4 chairs under the twinkle lights. You can also enjoy sun-soaked relaxation, rooftop yoga (mats provided!), or even a small workout with free weights. We have an Astroturf area with 2 lounge chairs an umbrella and a side table/ice chest for soaking up the sun and another sitting area with Astro-turf flooring, a small wicker loveseat, 2 chairs and a small center table.

Ready for a restful slumber? The primary bedroom boasts a luxurious memory foam queen bed, hotel style sheets, beachy comforters, 4 pillows, 2 extra seating areas, a smart streaming tv, smart speaker, wireless chargers and usb ports for corded charging of your electronic devices, alarm clocks, luggage racks, and rolling clothing racks with robes available for your use. If you like them you can buy them through Amazon. The second bedroom offers equal comfort without a window, perfect for those serene lie-ins. It does feature a mirrored wall, smart tv, smart speaker, luggage rack, and clothing rack with robes as well, but it does not have extra seating areas.

Hungry or in need of a caffeine fix? The well-equipped kitchen has you covered with a drip coffee pot, Vertuo Nespresso machine (with frother), and all the essentials to whip up a meal or a delightful brew.

Need to catch up on work? A dedicated workspace equipped with a chair, laptop desk and a printer/scanner is at your service.

The bathroom? Small, but very adequate, with a walk-in shower and single spacious vanity! Stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and soap, hairdryer, flatiron, and more because we've got your back, even if you forget the essentials!

So come, dive into the Beachy Speakeasy experience—it's not just a rental, it's a lifestyle waiting to be embraced!

*We have added and updated some areas so current photos and video may not be 100% accurate - we constantly try to keep things fresh and updated by adding items for your comfort and enjoyment. We will be uploading new photos, 360 tour and a new video soon to show the new bedframe for primary bedroom, a new blue velvet wing-back chair in the living room, a new patio dining table with 4 chairs, and more.*

*Inquire with me via message about 30 day+ stays or even longer like 3 months. I can offer a better discount for longer stays during certain times of the year. I will have a direct booking website available soon!

**Regarding Location & Entry** : It's true, our blue door resides in an unexpected locale between dumpsters and trash cans from neighboring retail stores and restaurants. Our entrance is located on the rear side of the building. We're drawing inspiration from hidden speakeasies, bringing a touch of adventure to your stay. Rest assured, you are in a safe and in a nice neighborhood that's a well lit area. We strive for transparency so you know exactly what to expect before stepping foot in this vibrant retreat!

**No central heat available but we have space heaters to use if you need them during the cold evenings (We've only had them used by a few guests when temps at night/early morning was below 50 degrees F)

**There is no pool on the property but there is an outdoor pool located on Lido Beach for a small daily fee.

Fantastic stay
Our family of four had an amazing stay over March break(Parents and a 6 & 8 year old). The location is perfect, 5 mins from the beach and 1 min from St Armand’s circle. The location could not be any more ideal for a family, we dined out at local family restaurants, used the kitchen to cook meals when it was convenient and visited the beach each morning to search for shells. We picked the location randomly and really hit the jack pot. Our host was very responsive and accommodating, particularly with an early check in and had some food supplies to tide us over until we got to a supermarket. Very clean, spacious apartment, comfortable beds, with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. Parking was easy(and free) once you follow the directions provided. 10 out of 10 stay.

Spring Break
Chad is very quick to communicate and had the house stocked with essentials for the kitchen, bath and the beach. The record player, yoga maps, weights and boxing gloves are a nice touch. The location is excellent - next to all the restaurants/shopping and a short walk to the beach. The place only has one bathroom, but we made it work without a problem.

Great location, wonderfully appointed!
We had a wonderful experience at the Beachy Speakeasy. Chad has created a wonderful space in which you can relax, enjoy the shopping nearby and unwind from travel. Thoughtful details abound in the unique space above St. Armand's Circle. The outdoor space is phenomenal. Lido Beach is just a short walk, and all of the tools to enjoy it are right there in the unit: chairs, wagon, umbrella. Sarasota's new trolley service made getting back and forth to downtown a breeze. Chad's communication was clear and we knew exactly what to expect throughout our stay. Would definitely stay there again!

About the host

Host profile image
Having relocated to Sarasota from Maui, I love everything Sarasota has to offer. From the Arts and Culture and restaurants to our amazing beaches and the epic sunsets.

I am a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Florida Realty and I have a couple of other small businesses.

In my free time I enjoy all that Florida has to offer. From scuba diving in the Florida Keys, paddle boarding the mangrove tunnels on Lido Key, playing golf at an amazing country club in Lakewood Ranch, getting some sun on Siesta Key, Lido, or Longboat Key beaches. Also, going out to all the restaurants in St Armand's and Downtown Sarasota and enjoying the entertainment venues our great city of Sarasota has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This is a unique one-of-a-kind property. I love spending time here. I can just walk and Uber everywhere - no matter where I am going. I love having coffee on the deck in the morning. Its now a home away from home for me. I also use it for clients, friends and family as a corporate rental.

What makes this property unique

The rooftop deck is an amazing space. Hanging with friends, Coffee in the mornings, suntanning, glass of wine at night. Love the ambience. The kitchen is a great size and has everything you need. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Bathroom is small but adequate. Overall, all the benefits are unique.
