The property was recently renovated and everything was brand new and clean. The unit was well-equipped, very comfortable and located a walkable distance to Lido beach and St. Armands Circle. We appreciated that the owners provided beach chairs and towels, a beach umbrella and a coffee maker with plenty of K-Cups. The owners were very responsive when we had a question. We would definitely rent this unit again.

Couldn’t recommend this stay more! Very clean, spacious, and great location. Love that they provide beach chairs, umbrella and towels. You can walk to lido beach and St Armands circle in minutes. St Armand’s circle is full of restaurants and shops. It’s about 2.5 miles from downtown Sarasota (there’s sidewalks all the way from the vrbo to downtown if you want to get a good walk or run in!). There’s also a free trolly called the bay runner that will pick you up at lido beach and bring you downtown and back. Will definitely be looking to stay here whenever I visit the area!

Did not use the pool. Beach at the south end was less busy. More dishwater and wine glasses. Also 9x13 and a casserole. Other than that it was just lovely.

Thank you Lissy for the thoughtful suggestions. We have taken all of these and the ones you made separately into account. Our future guests will now have additional dishware, wine glasses, beach chairs, including high back beach chairs, and facial tissue. We have also increased the variety of coffee and iced coffee we provide. We feel very fortunate to have guests like you who appreciate and value our property enough to make thoughtful suggestions to Improve it for the rest. Best always and we hope to host you again someday, Steve

Review:Talk about a surprise!This condo was great! It’s a cute 1 br with a full kitchen, a spacious living area, and a beautiful bathroom. Since I have never been to Lido Key in Sarasota, Florida, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. The small condo complex is perfect. The moment we opened the door to this newly and completely renovated unit we were nothing but smiles. Everything was thoughtfully designed for guests and the host was extremely responsive and accommodating. I would stay here again. More importantly I would recommend this unit to other travelers. It’s close to everything and you can literally walk anywhere with no problem. Thank you to our hosts for having us.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
I am retired from a career in public service. My family and I live here in lovely Sarasota, and have owned this condo for about three decades. We recently finished a year long remodel in 2026, and listed this gem of as a vacation rental. We live here full time and are family owner operators.

Why they chose this property

Since acquiring this place 30 years ago, we realized the value of its location, with hiking, kayaking, beach life, and St Armand’s circle all steps away. We often used this condo as a weekend getaway for ourselves and family. Although the structure is old, from the 1950s and 1960s, it is updated with modern amenities, safety, and still is unsurpassed for its location.

What makes this property unique

Location is everything. Beach, hiking, kayaking, excellent dining, are all a few steps away. Many guests will park their car and walk everywhere, or use UBER for more distant visits. Bikes and mopeds are also readily available for rent steps from this spot.
