space is perfect for couple and kids but 4 adults is kinda small space- great location- bathroom off the kitchen has barn doors that make privacy harder and going to bathroom #2 could compromise the kitchen area - very nice for a few day trip- pool was clean

Parking was easy and right out front. It is street parking, but not on a busy/main road. Easy access to and from St Armand’s Circle. An easy walk when it’s not full summer sun. The condo was nice and had the very basics. I would bring an eye mask as it’s pretty bright even with the blinds. The beach is a few blocks away and the 2 beach chairs and an umbrella were great. Bring a cart or drop the kids off as needed. BeautifulBeach!

We’ve stayed in a number of different accommodations in Sarasota and this was the best. We particularly liked that the property was in a quiet location off the beaten path. The pool was exceptionally clean and inviting. The kitchen, unlike many that we have experienced in the past, was extremely well stocked With every amenity necessary for meal preparation. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that I would say needed improvement is there were some very bright lights on the exterior and it was at times too light in the bedrooms even with the shades drawn. It might be a good idea to have some kind of blackout shade in the bedroom or figure out a way to turn off those exterior lights. Overall I highly recommend this place. We would stay there again

Most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a long time!

What an amazing vaca! The villa was just perfect for me! I was able to have my parents visit for a few days and the following week my girlfriend flew in to make some of my time there a girl’s trip. Loved the location and that the back door is right beside the community pool. Uber works well in the Sarasota area. Or if you have a car, you have nice parking right out the front door. Very comfortable and relaxing and Lido Beach is a 10 minute walk. The Tiki Bar on the beach was really fun too! Very good piña coladas! Definitely will be back!!!!

The apartment was charming, very clean, and accurately represented in the listing. We were in Lido Beach for business, however, and unfortunately there was no Wi-Fi in the unit for the entire four-night stay. We contacted the host daily, and although maintenance was sent each time, the issue was never resolved. As a result, we were unable to use our laptops for work, and we also couldn’t watch TV during our stay. Additionally, there was a constant drip in one of the showers, which added to the overall inconvenience.For guests traveling purely for leisure, this property would likely be a great fit. I requested a partial refund due to the inconvenience and received 50 back from the more than 1,200 we paid.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the apartment clean, charming, and accurately represented. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced during your stay, especially while traveling for work. Our team responded promptly and, during multiple visits, confirmed that the Wi-Fi and TV were functioning properly at those times. While we weren’t able to identify an ongoing issue, we did offer partial compensation as a courtesy. The shower drip you mentioned has also since been resolved. We appreciate your stay and your comments as we continue to improve the guest experience. Best Regards, iTrip Sarasota and Venice
