Great location, house has everything needed to cook meals at home, beds are comfortable, perfect sized cottage for a family of four. This is the 4th year we have stayed with this property owner and we have always had an excellent vacation experience.
My husband and I have stayed at this property numerous times. We love the location. The owner is quick to respond to any questions. We really wish we could have stayed longer. All I can say to really reflect everyone is PERFECT!
What a great home. You can tell “ one of the originals”. Kitchen had everything needed. Beds very comfortable and plenty of towels. TV easy to work and great WiFi. Walked to beach- had lunch on covered beach access. Great shopping at St.Armands
Great house in an amazing location. Our family had an amazing beach Thanksgiving. Can’t beat the location, easy walk to the beach and St Armand’s circle! Would definitely stay again!
Excellent locution in close proximity of the beach. Appealing home with a beachy vibe and all amenities provided. Well-maintained and clean. Will definitely be returning!

Perfect location
This was our second stay at this cottage. Terrific location and parking. Walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants and outdoor activities!
We had a wonderful stay in this adorable cottage. The home was very well stocked, anything that we may have needed was there for us. Laveda was so nice and available for any questions we had. Looking forward to our next visit there!
So very close to the beach, bed was comfortable (I only tried one of them). Lots of light and windows and parking right in front. Thank you for this place, I shall return.
We loved our stay at the Blue Ceiling! The location is ideal, a block to the beautiful Lido beach, and an easy 10 minute walk to wonderful shops and restaurants in St. Armand’s Circle. Will definitely be back!
The house was wonderful. Just a short walk to the beach and easy access to shopping and restaurants. Everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided from beach items to bathroom towels to a well stocked kitchen. We came for a wedding, but the stay on Lido Key was the icing on the cake.
Lovely week on Lido Key! Great weather, clean place to stay. Super close walk to beach! Plenty of extras in and at the house to make it very enjoyable! Lots of restaurants close by. We WILL be back 😊
This 2 bed, 2 bath home was very cozy and had everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen, comfy furniture and great location with close access to beach and Lido Key resort for a drink to watch the Sunset. Quick 10 minute walk to St. Armands Circle for dinner. Had a great stay and LaVeda was lovely to work with.
We had a good stay loved the house very comfortable. The only thing missing was a TV in the king size bed room. Definitely going to try to stay there next year as well.
This house was amazing! I've never rented one so well stocked! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets if you get cold! So close to the beach and shopping! I would totally recommend this house.
