We had a wonderful stay at your beautiful Lido Key home so much so it will be our number one choice when we return to Florida. The remodel is superb, thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Incredible location and perfect house for beach vacation
My family had a wonderful time in this home that’s perfectly situated close to St Armands and the beach. The kayaks, paddle board, bikes, and beach chairs were a perfect addition. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed.

Thank you so much for your review! we're glad you enjoyed your stay, come back anytime :)
This wonderful house provided ample of comfortable space for 5 adults and a 10-year old for an extended family visit in town. The location could not be better - wonderful water and wildlife (we saw both dolphins and manatees!) views from both inside and outside the house, easy walk to the beach for swimming and sunsets, and easy walk to St. Armand’s Circle for shopping and restaurants. We will definitely rent again for our next gathering.
We booked this home to celebrate my daughter‘s engagement so we had several members of our family staying there. It turned out to be the perfect home and really made our celebration a vacation to remember. The location is perfect , super close to the beach, the house was fully equipped with everything that we needed and the rooms and pool teally made for some memorable experiences. I would highly recommend this home!

We really enjoyed our stay and all the amenities the property had to offer. Fully equipped with all your needs from the pool, bikes and kayaks for the bay in your back yard . A lost a very short 5 minute walk to the beach. One suggestion might be to have a beach cart at the house for wheeling stuff to the beach. Will definitely come back there in the future.

Thank you Paul for your kind review! we'll ask the owners to add a beach cart. Take care, see you soon!
Great location for a family vacation! With the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen.
Thank you for our stay. We really loved Lido Key, and it was nice to be a block away from our families. This house is a gem, and the well-stocked kitchen and pantry made this stay one of our favorites as everything we needed was there. After staying in this rental, I have now decided to stock my personal rentals like this too! It makes it so easy to keep the home clean and tidy when owners the basic household essentials.

Dear Brenda, Thank you for submitting such a lovely review. We are so delighted that you enjoyed the property. The homeowners did a great job at making their guests feel welcome and at home. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This property did not disappoint! Location was perfect within walking distance of Armand’s Circle and the beach. Enjoyed the kayaks that were available along with the bikes. The hostess was easily accessible when we had questions that needed to be answered. Highly recommend this property! We are already talking about a return visit.

Very nice property in a very expensive neighborhood right on the waterway. Wonderful pool. Well supplied kitchen. Easy walk to town or to the beach. Enjoyed using the provided Kayaks. Bikes were available. The property manager was accessible and responsive. The owners are generous to rent such a nice house. We'd definitely consider staying here again!!

Thank you John to your lovely review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime :)
The house was perfectly located within easy walking distance to the beach and, with a little more effort, to St Armands Circle for dining and shopping.. We elected to cook in for most of the nights and the kitchen was as well stocked as any VRBO property that I've visited. We had a few minor issues, like us having to change our rental dates due to a medical situation, and then while we were there some roofing repair work, but the management company was great to work with to make sure we enjoyed our stay to the max. We drove over to Longboat Key and also Siesta Key, and came back convinced that we had made the best decision to stay in Lido Key, and in particular at this property. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone considering a visit to this area.

Thank you Doug for such a lovely review. Come back anytime! :)
This house was perfect for our family of six. Easy walk to St. Armand’s and the beach. The beach can be accessed at Lido Beach Resort public access, only a couple of blocks from the house. The kayaks were ideal as there is a nature preserve beyond the canal. The dock was perfect for our Tampa friends who visited for a short time with their boat. The only negative we found all week is we could not stream any of our accounts. We would have loved to be able to watch evening movies. Great house, great location, and beautiful houses surrounding! Thank you!

The Robinson family of 5 from East Texas stayed here for a week during our 13 yoa granddaughters spring break. Oh what a fun vacation we experienced! Thank you to the owners for sharing your home that’s located on Lido Key, Florida and in our eyes complete paradise. We enjoyed the provided kayaks and kayaked through the mangroves near the home. Our granddaughter reported at the end of our trip this was her favorite part of our vacation. Our very first morning we saw dolphins while drinking coffee on the dock. Day 3-5 we rented a boat enjoying boating and fishing in Sarasota Bay. The water was so beautiful, blue and clear. We were so surprised when a manatee swam by our boat. We enjoyed shopping at St Armand’s Circle which is just down from this home. Our beach days were spent on Lido Beach after a short bicycling trip there from this home. Our granddaughter found beautiful shells on the beach to add to her collection. This home was located in a very affluent and safe area of Florida, was so well appointed, and thoroughly met our needs. It was so sad to drive away at the end of our vacation. Until next year……
Loved the house, property, hosts and area. Unlike other rentals, this one provided nearly everything. Advance comms great, highly responsive throughout stay. As a sign of accommodative hosts, all spices available, many unopened, stocked Keurig and other rare niceties. Kayaks clean and in great shape, and easy access to mangrove preserves from dock in back. Bikes, locks, beach chairs and more provided for use. Flatscreens throughout. All appliances in good working order and accommodations thoroughly clean and modern. Internet speed and reliability also great. Couple minor nits: TV was limited to basic channels. Any apps or even free on demand needed an owners pin. We didn’t really need, but would have been good to be able to sign in to My Netflix or other accounts. And pool alarm was too sensitive so we needed to keep resetting on windy days. But property was awesome, and we walked to beach and restaurants easily. Lido also great for running and biking. We will definitely be back!

Thank you Thomas for your review and feedback, we appreciate it. We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
We had a wonderful family vacation to Lido Key. The house was ideal for our family of five -- fully stocked kitchen, kayaks/bikes/beach gear, etc. We also enjoyed the pool and fishing from the dock. It was a perfect location as it's less than a five minute walk to the beach and slightly longer to the dining and shopping at St Armand's circle. Very short drive into Sarasota for even more dining, grocery store, farmer's market, etc. Would happily stay here again!

Dear Kurt, we are so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful stay and found the property location so convenient for your activities. Thank you for being such amazing guests. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
We really had a great time at the house. The location was perfect for us as it was the end of October so we preferred being as close to St. Armands Circle as we did from the beach, this house is just about right in the middle. It is located right on the canal which we all really enjoyed, we saw dolphins a couple times right behind the house. The kayaks and bikes that are made available we're great and we used them often which really added to the trip. You can kayak from the house directly to the mangrove tunnels. The interior is a bit dated but that didn't bother us and the photos are representative of this. The floors weren't tremendously clean, we did have a quick sweep to do just as we arrived but again, not a big deal. The manager said the last group was a bit rambunctious and the only areas were under the bar stools and around the edge of the couch. The only real issue that had any impact is that we ran out of hot water twice. It was later in the day both times but we all showered that morning and were gone most of the day so it was odd. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. The price point is competitive and the neighborhood is great, and the kayaks and bikes!

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed the house!
Our plumber stopped by the house and it turns out a pilot light had been switched. It's all good now and we look forward to seeing you again :)
This property was Beautiful! I was impressed because we didn't have to buy anything! Toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, even laundry soap and pods for dishwasher! We have stayed at many places and that was NEVER the case! Well worth the money!! Thanks again!!
