Our stay on Lido Key

The house is fabulous. Clean, Comfortably accommodates 18 people. Lots to do nearby. Armold Cirxle is a short walk. Lots of restaurants and shops. Convemient to the airport. Beach is a little crowded but beautiful. The only thing the house lacked that we would have enjoyed would be some board games.

Beautiful home close to beach

The property description and photos are accurate. This is a lovely home. Stairs were a problem with toddlers but the home has a baby gate that we kept in place. I would suggest providing a gate for each set of stairs.

Location is everything

The house was so close to the beach and walking distance to the circle for food and shopping. We loved that every bedroom had their own bathroom.Upon arrival we were told we didn’t have WiFi for the week but we were provided with hot spots. Over the week the property managers were fantastic about responding to questions we had about the house. We spent a lot of time in the pool and hot tub and personally enjoyed the fact that is is pretty shaded back there, especially after coming off the hot beach. Overall it was a great house and we would recommend it.

Family Trip

I booked this trip for my family. My wife and I loved the primary bedroom and primary bathroom. The location was perfect. A five minute walk to the beach. The downtown district of St. Armand was just about a mile from the house. The house was spacious and clean. My brothers family stayed with us for a night because of all the space with the bedrooms. This property was a great value and we will stay there again.
