If you’re looking for a quiet beach community and an island lifestyle than you’re at the right place. The unit is decorated in island style with a king size comfortable bed, flat screen TVs in the living room and bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchen.

Like the outdoors? Lido has parks on the north and south end and the kayak park is two blocks away. The beach is a block away and we provide beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler.

Hungry? It’s a 5 minute walk to famous St. Armand’s Circle with 15+ restaurants and upscale boutique shopping. Our favorite spots are at Tommy Bahamas restaurant watching the crowds go by while sipping a martini or on the patio at the Columbia with a pitcher of cava sangria made table side.

Night on the town? Enjoy beautiful downtown Sarasota’s fine dining, theater, opera, ballet, art galleries, antique shops, and museums or just pass the time while strolling the shops of downtown Sarasota. Longboat key and Siesta Key are minutes away.

Linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler provided – just bring your toothbrush! If you forgot it – ask! We probably have it.

And if you have to work (ugh!) there's free Wifi and a small desk in the unit.

You name it and its nearby - golf, beach, bike, boat, sailing, some of the best fishing, fishing charters, aquariums, museums, shopping, wind surfing, kite boarding, swimming, great walking areas, theaters, opera, and on and on.

•Ringling Museum (John Ringling was an art collector)
•Segway Rentals (fun way to tour the town)
•Selby Botanical Gardens (amazing display of orchids)
•Mote Marine Aquarium (fish lovers place and great for kids)

Nice condo close to beach

This condo is a very short walk to both the beach and St Armand’s circle. It was very clean and comfortable, and Julie is a great hostess. It was also very well outfitted, with most everything you could need for both the beach and for cooking. The only downside was that there’s not much sunlight due to its location in the complex, and the paint could use a little refreshing.

New Year Vacation

We absolutely loved the condo and location. The condo is adorable, clean, as pictured and has everything you need. It’s homey, comfortable and quaint. We enjoyed walking to St Armand’s, Lido Beach is literally one block behind the condo, you can hear the ocean. We also drove to Ana Maria Island, Long Boat Key and Siesta Key! I would definitely stay here again without question…. 10/10. Very responsive host and she checked in mid-week to make sure we were doing ok.
