Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to review our property. It means a lot to us and we appreciate it very much. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in Lido Beach! We enjoyed having you and look forward to your return someday.
Super getaway, great hosts, clean home, great pillows!
I pretty much rate every short-term rental with the above criteria, and these folks hit it out of the park. The house is very well cared for, the hosts were helpful yet gave us privacy. We loved the house, it was super clean and well appointed and very nicely decorated. We had a great vacation. Five Stars All Around!
We truly enjoyed this home. We were able to park our car and just walk everywhere we wanted. That was super helpful because it was the holidays and busy on St. Armands. We walked to the beach and St. Armands but truly loved just sitting by this pool! It is very private and peaceful. A wonderful getaway with memories for a lifetime!
The property is very clean and well-appointed. Communication was good before and during the stay, and the manager was very accommodating with our timeline. LOCATION is what makes this a really great stay ... the beach is a 5 minute walk to the left, and the downtown circle is 10 minutes to the right ... all very walk-able. The pool is a great size, and the outdoor spaces are very nice. Would stay again.
Loved this little slice of paradise just a short walk to the beach and the property offers a unique privacy environment around the home and the lovely pool due to the lush vegetation surrounding it. Makes you feel like you have no neighbors. Every convenience is a short distance whether walking or driving. The separate one bed area is an added bonus for additional privacy when staying with family and or friends. Will definitely stay here again!
We were just looking for a short vacation getaway and this place was perfect! It was so cozy and homey. So many amenities to make truly relaxing for us.
We especially loved the privacy of the pool! We found ourselves spending so much time out there. Having the beach so.close to the house also was so great!
This house had everything we needed to be relaxed and just enjoy ourselves. The perfect getaway home. Lori was the sweetest host making sure that it was easy for us to access the house.
We look forward to coming back to Sarasota again and will definitely stay here again.
This is the third time I have rented a house with VRBO. This house was the best! The beach is right down the street and its a short walk to St. Armands Circle. The house was beautiful and so clean! We felt like we were on a deserted island with the beautiful pool and mature landscaping. Check the pictures, just like it shows. You will not be disappointed!!
An extremely comfortable home with great beds! A fantastic location (we walked to the beach and St Armand’s). Really private pool and heater was a plus! Outdoor fire pit was good for one night that was chilly. The managers made sure we had everything we needed but also left us alone. The house is stocked with every kitchen gadget you need. It was a very quiet neighborhood. We’ve already booked for next year.
Outside of house is beautiful. Vicki and Lori were very easy to communicate with. We did feel, however, that the kitchen and bathrooms in the house are tired and need updated. Both bathrooms are quite small! Kitchen cabinets are tired however it is nicely stocked. The cooktop was cracked. Nice walking distance to St. Armands or the beach.

There’s one thing we appreciate in our business, our guests! While I wish we could have discussed your concerns while you visited so we could rectify them, I do appreciate the time you took to give your review. As you can imagine, we are on the tail end of Covid and it’s hard to get appliances timely. We had a guest put that small break in the oven cooktop (all four burners still work fine) but we are awaiting our new oven and will be installed very soon. We have updated the photos in our listing to show the current condition of our cabinets and bathrooms so hopefully future guests can see their condition as they stand today, June 2021. It’s extremely hard to satisfy everyone but our continued success shows that we love what we do, we appreciate our guests, and we are honored to present our property for you to create lasting memories with your family. We do hope you consider returning, our doors are always open.
Had a really great time here! Thoroughly enjoyed our trip! Everything all around was wonderful. From the comfy, well-kept house to the amazing location... walking into town with so many lovely restaurants, bars & shops. And of course, just a few minutes walk to the beautiful beach. Very convenient. Don't miss the sunsets! We felt totally at home at the house. The owner did a fabulous job making sure we had everything we needed & taking such great care of the house. And she was always just a text/call away when we had questions. Loved the pool. And the fire pit. We did alot of walking around & exploring in town and at the beach, did some fun kayaking. I highly recommend the house and visiting Lido/St Armands!

House was amazing, location was amazing, pool was exceptional! A++ Service!
House was amazing, location was amazing, pool was exceptional. Walked beach every day, except for one rainy day! Heavenly. Our week was amazing and exceeded our expectations!
The service from Lori and Vicki is above and beyond. Lori was great responding to questions prior to our trip; and once we arrived Vicki is fast to respond with any issues that may arise, or simple house questions. Both deserve a A++ rating for making our trip a truly relaxing vacation.
We rented both the 2 bedroom/1 bath house and the 1 bed/1 bath studio cabana next door. It was perfect for the four of us and the description and photos are right on, but even more beautiful. The location is a short walk to the public beach across the street (sunsets are beyond expressing) and a short distance to St. Armand’s Circle for wonderful restaurants and shopping. Lido Beach Park is also a quick drive or bike ride and we highly suggest you go there and check it out for a possible dolphin sighting. We spent mornings walking the beaches and afternoons in the pool at the house. It’s hard to leave the house because it is a gorgeous tropical oasis with lush mature landscaping.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home, we brought great memories home with us. We hope to come back and enjoy another week!

Karen!
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. It's so hard to convince people prior to their stay that they've made a really great decision and they'll be happy with their vacation, but once they get there they're thrilled. I'm so glad you loved it!! We are always here and would love for you to consider that tropical paradise in your future vacation plans! Thanks so much for your review!
The house was just as listed online and just a 5 min walk to beach and pool was just perfect. We really enjoyed dinner and breakfast on St Armand’s circle and fantastic shopping. Hope to stay again!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home.
All we needed to do was unpack! Everything we needed was there for us. I read a previous review about things needing updating, but we found the property beautiful and in great condition at the time of our stay. The kitchen is VERY clean and a brand new oven (not that I cook on vacation). The bathroom was spotless. The jack and jill sink in the hall cove and outdoor private shower made it easy for us to get ready for walkable dinners to St. Armands circle. I recommend the Cubano coffee at Columbia. The slat water pool was so refreshing and relaxing. Walking distance to everything you need (white sand beaches, restaurants, shops, kayaking the mangroves!). We loved our stay, have already booked for 2022. Thank you Lori and Vicki
Tranquil, beautiful and serene. I could have stayed forever!
My friends and I were looking for something close beach but close enough to visit Sarasota. Our stay at this beautiful home checked off every box on our stay. We never wanted to leave.
This is a beautiful property for a great price just walking distance to the beach (0.2 miles) and also walking distance to St. Armand's Circle (0.5 miles). We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean with a beautiful pool and a shed full of beach gear (chairs, umbrella, cart, etc.) and was maintained beautifully. In addition, the kitchen had lots of top notch cooking and serving ware to make dinner. We did not want to leave! Thanks to Vicki for being such a great host; she was communicative and answered all questions quickly and was a great help to us during our stay.
It was wonderful to get away with our family for a few days during this coronavirus period. Lido Key was a great place to chill out. The house was beautiful and was very well equipped . The pool was lushly landscaped and we thought we were in paradise. Everything was provided for the beach (towels, beach chairs and umbrellas) which was great and the beach was about 5 minutes walk from the house. We also were also within walking distance from all shops and restaurants. Vicky and Lori couldn’t have been better hosts. I would recommend it without hesitation to my friends and we will certainly return. The only thing that it could use is a handrail at the pool for the old folks.
An amazing trip, great hosts. House was just as expected and more! Pictures accurately describe the property but didn’t get the true appreciation for this place til we stayed. Great location, walk to beach. See you soon!
A great trip! Great hosts! The privacy at this place is incredible. The peace just being at home, even during interesting times was so great. The beach was closed and the shops and restaurants were only open for dining outside and limited capacity. But, we still had an amazing trip. We will be back.
We were celebrating our anniversary and this spot couldn't have been any more perfect. We were so glad to have found Lori and Vicky. They were responsive and really do care about their guests, far beyond customers. We felt so welcomed and our expectations were surely met. What a Wonderful Home!
Thank you, Vicki, for all you did for us. We had such a nice stay at your house. We are going to try your other 3 bedroom listing next stay because it's one full house. Though we enjoyed our stay here greatly, we would have liked the house to be one full unit instead of split into two. But, we must say again, we had a great time. Beautiful place, well taken care of. Beds comfortable, short walk to everything.

Luxury Outdoor Shower: Perfect for rinsing off right after a sun-soaked afternoon at Lido Beach or a swim in the pool, keeping the indoor spaces clean, dry, and sand-free.
Why waste your hard-earned vacation time waiting in line for a bathroom when you could be relaxing poolside or walking down to the Gulf Coast surf?
