This property looks all new and is gorgeous! It is very clean, has everything you need to cook, has the perfect amount of furniture and decoration without being cluttered, and we could not have been happier with our stay! It was a short block to the beach, and very easy to walk right out onto the public beach. Everything in this place can be thoroughly cleaned, so I appreciated that it did not have any carpet or fabric couches, very little that couldn’t be bleached or disinfected between visitors. We have a few weeks of timeshares in the area that were not completely ready from the hurricanes last year, but if the need ever arises again, I would happily book this place. It was quiet and reasonably priced-perfection!

It was OK

Close to beach and Armada cir. The unit was well equipped. The AC was not working and was replaced on our 4th day. The workman were in the unit a full day. No attempt was made to compensate us for the inconvenience.The WI-FI constantly went out. The walls are so thin you can hear a normal conversation. A family with kids moved in at the end of our stay so I was happy to leave.

2nd Time There

This was our second time staying in this duplex and we loved it! This is a large, well maintained property that made us feel right at home. It's an easy walk to the beach and St. Armand's Circle. The management company is great and was very responsive to any questions that we had. We're hoping to return again next year.

Excellent Stay and Wonderful trip

My family and I used itrip sarasota to book our trip to Lido Beach Sarasota and our stay in their duplex was excellent and wonderful all at the same time. It was close to everything family orientated. The hospitality was 2nd to none. We are already thinking about next year’s trip. Thank you again itrip sarasota for helping my family make memories.
