The property is newly renovated and spacious, and the split floor plan with en-suite baths provided privacy.for both bedrooms. Location is excellent and the unit was spotless.

Lido stay
Had a great stay on Lido key in January and February. The location of our residence was fantastic, near the circle, and everything was in walking distance, including the beach. The staff at the management company was extremely helpful and was immediately responsive to any questions or issues that we had.
This property is as advertised: clean, comfortable, great location. The house is very well equipped and affords easy access to the beach and St. Armand's Circle. Beach amenities (chairs, towels, wagon, etc.) are excellent. We would stay there again,

Ideal
Very well presented and appointed accommodation. Full range of appliances & extremely comfortable beds. A 4 minute walk to very tempting shops, bars, and restaurants. Ideal location.
Great easy access to Saint Armands Circle. Perfect workability To the circle and Lido Beach. Clean, updated with new furnishings. Large kitchen to cook in and entertain.
Easy easy communication with the owner. Will definitely be on our return list when visiting our local families in the Sarasota area
This home is in a excellent location if you want to park your car and leave it sit. The beach is beautiful and a five minute walk away. St. Armands Circle has everything you need and is an 8-10 minute walk. This home is exceptionally clean and has everything you need. 5 Stars.......

Lido key
We had an excellent stay on Lido Key. The property managers are immediately responsive to any questions and extremely helpful and cooperative. The property is well maintained and is stocked with everything you might need. The location is as advertised— a two block walk to the beach and a short walk to the circle. I highly recommend this property.
We loved this place! We vacation a lot and this has been one of The cleanest we’ve stayed at. My wife usually has to clean when we arrive but we had to do nothing to this place. If I had one critique, I’d say the couches need cleaned or replaced. But really still not bad. Will definitely stay again!!
We stayed over the 4th of July week, very nice place to stay, open floor plan, plenty of space for 4 people. Short walk to Beach & St. Armand's Circle. Bikes, Cooler, Towels for Beach, couldn't ask for much more. Spacious backyard with plenty of chairs and a Grill. Had a question, owners responded back immedately. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much! Loved your place!

Nice duplex within 2 blocks of a very nice beach. Short walk to cute small town with restaurants and shops. Low amount of traffic. They had a wagon to take your (included) beach chairs, toys, umbrella, etc.). They had two bikes. All you need for a great week on the gulf in Florida. And if you need a big town, Sarasota is just a few minutes away by car.

Actually stayed 2 weeks.. this week and previous week. Part of the stay with family who loved short walk to beach and Saint Armand’s. Stayed on my own and loved the above as well as tree lined walk across the street and access to Nature Trails. Very safe and quiet area. Definitely will return. Also all service, Property Manager, iTrip and Explorie were exemplary.
Plenty of room, well stocked with nice linens. Great kitchen. The listing never mentioned it was upstairs ( difficult for one of us). Fans need balancing, they were pretty loud. Couches looked fine but sat very low. When you sit down it goes down further. Had a maintenance issue and they fixed it right away.

As always, we enjoed our stay at this house. We love the location,as it is within walking distance to the beach and St Arman's Circle. Our only disappointment this visit was that the dryer did not work. This is one of the reasons we chose this house again. We did receive a credit the very same day of reaching out to the property manager for the inconvience of not having the dryer. The only other thing we would like to see next time is a few more rolls of paper towels, dish soap and dishwasher detergant.

Great location
Location great walk to beach and St Armands. Clean inside. Both beds were VERY uncomfortable. The unit is very sparsely furnished and decorated. No dresser/TV in second bedroom. outdoor space was not connected to the Unit. No vacumn and sweeping up sand with broom was difficult on grout. Outside of building needs attention: very dirty windows and black mold on overhangs, doors. Grill temp gauge not working. Beach towels are old but plenty of them. Very few bath towels and pillows and not enough pillowcases provided for each pillow so we wrapped in extra sheet.

Dear Lynn,
We are surprised to get such a low rating. As you can see from our other reviews, we haven't gotten any complaint about the mattresses. This seems to be case of preference but we will look into it. We don't advertise the bedrooms as having dressers but there is plenty of storage space in the closet. The outdoor space is attached to the building. You can enter it from the driveway. The windows and exterior of the building is exposed to the elements and salt air and won't be spotless all the time. There isn't black mold in the unit or building. We checked the grill and it was working fine. We leave enough towels for our guests, at least 6 sets. There is a washer and dryer in the unit if you wish to launder them. We pride ourselves in customer service. Other than an empty propane tank, we were not advised of your complaints. We think that a 2 star review is not a fair assessment of the property and we wish we were made aware of any issues so we could take action. Thank you for staying with us.

We loved staying at this very clean and perfectly located home. Being walking distance to the beach and St. Armand’s circle was terrific. We had two teens with us and everyone had plenty of space in the rental. I used one of the bikes everyday, but the other had flat tires. We used the boogie board and the beach chairs. It’s nice to have amenities like those handy.
