Amazing layout for our 3 person family. We were able to host family and friends for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners. Great neighborhood and super convenient walk to Lido Beach.

Great Vacation Spot
What a great place to stay. This was our third time and we're still lovin' it! It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to St. Armands Circle. Very spacious and well maintained. And did I say that the property management team is top notch? Very responsive and courteous.
The date range makes it look like we were only there a short time. Quite the contrary - we were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to extend it by a few days.
We'll be back next year, of course.

You are always a pleasure to host! We can't ask for better guests! You are always welcome back anytime!
This property looks all new and is gorgeous! It is very clean, has everything you need to cook, has the perfect amount of furniture and decoration without being cluttered, and we could not have been happier with our stay! It was a short block to the beach, and very easy to walk right out onto the public beach. Everything in this place can be thoroughly cleaned, so I appreciated that it did not have any carpet or fabric couches, very little that couldn’t be bleached or disinfected between visitors. We have a few weeks of timeshares in the area that were not completely ready from the hurricanes last year, but if the need ever arises again, I would happily book this place. It was quiet and reasonably priced-perfection!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the home, its cleanliness, and the easy beach access. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Rooms are big and comfortable and just a 5 minute walk to the beach and to St. Armands Circle. Looking forward to future stays.

Superb Sarasota Stay
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Lido Duplex. The home was very clean and tons of space. Easy check in with code. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfy, A/C was quite cool. The wifi worked well. We had fun playing ping pong and cornhole too. It’s a short 5 min walk to the beach. The chairs and umbrella looked new and the cart to pull them was helpful. Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay, zero complaints and we would come back, highly recommended!
Great location- short walk to beach with everything we needed to enjoy the beach. Spotless! Great communication and contact with host. Had some issues with hot water in shower. We each got cold showers a couple of times Also wouldve love more paper products
This duplex appartment was exactly as advertised. Comfortable, clean, modern design and furnishings.
Perfect location for beach access or a short walk to St. Armands!

2nd Time There
This was our second time staying in this duplex and we loved it!
This is a large, well maintained property that made us feel right at home. It's an easy walk to the beach and St. Armand's Circle.
The management company is great and was very responsive to any questions that we had.
We're hoping to return again next year.
