Sink into pure serenity as palm shadows dance across the patio and the crystal-clear water. Your own secluded oasis awaits—sun-warmed, serene, and steps from the heart of Lido.
Just five minutes from the sand, this aerial shows how close you are to the Gulf's edge—and even closer to St. Armands Circle's vibrant energy.
Tucked within tropical greenery, this private escape offers complete seclusion, just steps from everything. A perfect blend of access and retreat.
Grab your book, pour a cocktail, and sink into sun-drenched lounge chairs while the palm leaves sway overhead.
As evening falls, gather here for warm cocktails, shared stories, and a sky ablaze with stars. This is where memories are made.

Beautiful

The house was perfect for our girls trip! Everything in the house was beautiful and clean, well furnished. Great location with a five minute walk to the beach and right around the corner from shopping and restaurants. Easy check-in with quick response to any of our questions. Highly recommend this property.

Gorgeous house - very close to the circle

This house is conveniently located on St. Armands circle and walkable to the beach. The inside of the house is absolutely beautiful. Great furnishings, comfortable beds, nice linens. The living room space is small considering the number of bedrooms is has. However, that wasnt important to us because we weren't there for sitting around and watching TV. My only complaint is that as of right now (Feb 2025) there is a constant loud generator running right outside the property. We suspect this has something to do with the hurricane. When the doors and windows are closed you cannot hear the sounds - but it prevented us from having the windows open at night and prevented us from using the outdoor social areas. I am sure this will not be a forever thing, and is beyond the control of the rental company. Nevertheless, it did take away a small amount of enjoyment as the pool, fire pit area and the hammock were much less enjoyable.
