Walk to the beautiful sands of Lido Beach!! Walk to the wonderful shops and restaurants of St Armands! Walk to beach is approx 3 minute walk, 0.2 miles. Walk to St. Armands is approx 8 minutes, 0.4 mi.

This charming home has incredible internet, with 457 mbps download and 28 mbps upload; hardwood flooring, crown moldings, and ceiling fans. The fully equipped kitchen has been outfitted with cherry cabinets, stainless appliances and granite countertops, microwave which is also a convection oven. All living room furniture has been recently purchased including the 60” flat screen plasma television.
Cable TV/HBO and wireless internet are available for your enjoyment. The outside temperature is usually perfect but just in case, the home is outfitted with Central A/C & Heat. Two bedrooms; one with a new king bed, the second with a queen sized bed. All have comfortable mattresses and quality pillows that will afford you a peaceful night sleep, leaving you refreshed and ready for a great day. A 32” wall mounted LCD TV’s are in both bedrooms.

House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, Sleeps 4 - This 2-bedroom unit has private access to the private pool.

There is a smaller cottage unit available at this property also but the cottage does not have access to your unit, your yard or your private pool. The smaller cottage unit has its own private exterior entrance, and although connected to the main house, there is no access between the two units and no shared walls, so your privacy is assured. Not to mention your privacy is assured due to the 7-foot privacy fence between the units.

The 2-bedroom home you are viewing now is completely private with private access to pool and home. This unit has its own private exterior entrance.

Lido Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches, not only in Florida, but in the United States. The world famous sunsets off the shores of Lido Beach draw not only our visitors but local residents as well. All there to soak in one of nature’s most spectacular performances.

The view is so surreal that it is not uncommon to see people clap their hands in the joy they receive from this experience. All of this is just a shorti stroll from this quaint, Lido home. Walk to beach is approx 3 minute walk, 0.2 miles. Walk to St. Armands is approx 8 minutes, 0.4 mi.

We take standards for hygiene & cleanliness very seriously. We are taking additional steps to ensure the safety of our guests & associates!

Loved everything about it!

Fantastic time, beach within walking distance and St Armands (a little sad that quite a few businesses have not yet reopened following the hurricanes). Property equipped with everything one could need and more! Truly home from home. Next time we’re back in Sarasota we will definitely hope to rebook.

My husband and I spent a week here and it was best experience we could have asked for. The property manager was so attentive and always making sure we had what we needed. The pool was amazing and we spent most of our days out there. This house had everything you could imagine needing down to makeup removing towels. I was so impressed and cannot wait to return!

A charming little property, that is absolutely perfect for a couple. Spotlessly clean, very well maintained and with everything you need. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The garden and pool area is a superb retreat, providing plenty of sun and shade throughout the whole day.

Awesome Property and Owner

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO's and sometimes I get the feeling that the owner cleaned out all their old stuff out of their home and put it in their VRBO. Not the case here, nicely decorated and stocked for your time here (kitchen is nicely equipped as well). Location is just a five minute walk to the beach and seven minutes to St. Armands Circle. Pool was nice and the owner keeps it heated without charging you extra! Overall the property is well taken care of, nicely decorated, well stocked and well located along with a good owner!

Excellent Lido Key / Sarasota Property

My wife and I took our two boys (9) and (4) for a week's vacation. This property was perfect for our family, and Sandy (property manager) was excellent to work with and a proactive communicator. The house was in the perfect location for walking/biking to both the beach and St. Armand's Circle. We had bikes delivered to the house and made use of them to bike to Lido Key Beach, St. Armands Circle, South Lido Key Beach, and Mote Marine Aquarium, to name a few. We also took multiple drives to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key. Did I say the location is fantastic. As for the property itself the pool was and landscaping was a wonderful oasis to take a break from the heat, and enjoy some privacy. Very spacious and well maintained. Inside, the entire house was updated and had all of the creature comforts one would expect at home. For a family of four this place was excellent.

Perfect Getaway!

This property is very nice with the description and photos of the property spot on. Overall cleanliness upon arrival was exceptional. Pool area very private with lots of palm trees and tropical plants surrounding that provide the perfect mix of sun and shade the entire day. Kitchen was well equipped for anything you'd need. Even has a good set of knives! Overall location of the property is amazing. Just a blocks walk to the beach (the property provides everything you need - chairs, buggy and umbrella) and St. Armands Circle which has everything from shopping, dining and live entertainment. Whatever you do, don't miss the sunsets, they're amazing!

A mini oasis

We are picky…this home was a pleasure. Nicely updated, perfect furnishings, perfect sized pool. Nice deck area, the walk to the beach is easy stroll w the kids, owner supplied chairs, beach buggy etc. An absolute pleasure to deal w the manager and owner. Loved it had a great time, I almost don’t want to write a good review bc I told want to tell anybody else. Tons of hooks for towels-full kitchen-new laundry machines-AC was almost too cold. The location is awesome walking everywhere beach and Armand’s circle. Beach has a restaurant good food, drinks music on the weekends. Really enjoyed our stay. One bathroom is a challenge but outside shower is heated offsets the one bath, which was done very nicely and high end. It was like a large suite at a fountain-bleu or the Borgata and a private pool, only downside is my daughter was pissed she did not see a manatee during our stay. Also Sarasota is close to a ton of stuff for the kids as well, Big Cat Habitat, Ringling Museum, etc. surrounded by mansions lol the walk in the neighborhood is amazing in itself

Birthday stay

House was perfect for us. The only problem we had was weather. Came down to be warm for my birthday. Couldn't use the pool. It couldn't heat up because of temperature. Couldn't use fire pit because of wind. Better then home temperatures. Will try again next year.

Fabulous home!

Everything was perfect. The house is exactly as the photos show, and really spacious inside. A dream of a kitchen, fabulous TV, really comfy beds with great pillows! The outdoor space is lovely, and the location an absolute dream. Walking to the beach and into St Armands was a real blessing, as parking can be tricky in the area in busy periods. Vicky (the property manager) is so helpful and a lovely person to have on hand. I can't recommend this property more!

About the host

Hosted by Lori G

Host profile image
Lori has been a long-time visitor to Florida for getaways from the Washington DC cold. She's spent most of her time in the Sarasota area and just fell in love with Lido Beach and it’s eclectic shopping and fantastic restaurants in St. Armand’s Circle. Enjoying the type of vacation where you don’t need to always find parking, Lori found this home nestled amongst rich, private vegetation, with the ability to walk to both the beach and St. Armand’s Circle. She also loves traveling and getting to know the people from all over the world.
Claudia who is your Chief Hospitality Manager, is a local to Sarasota. She is an incredible property manager and a powerhouse of information for local cuisine and things to do in the area. Her number one priority is you! You will be pleased with her care and concern for your comfort.
Clearly we both love this part of Florida! We especially love hosting families and friends who enjoy such a hip, urban neighborhood like Lido. We enjoy the local restaurants and we love that we can walk just about anywhere we need to go. We absolutely love the house. It's often referred to as a "private little Garden of Eden" by our guests and we agree. We love hosting people in our guesthouse, and look forward to meeting travelers & helping them feel as comfortable and at home as possible while in Florida.

Why they chose this property

Because driving once you're on vacation is such a waste of our most important commodity !!! Quality Time! Why this property? Because it's a quiet and private tropical paradise! Why this property? Because your comfort and pleasure are our #1 concern!

Beautiful St. Armands Circle, with its collection of restaurants & pubs, daiquiri decks, ice cream parlors, boutiques and specialty shops is a short 5 minute walk from the home.
The Lido Pavilion, located on the beach is 50 yards from the front door. Grant Drive is one of the quietest streets on Lido Key allowing you to bask in the simple pleasures of island life. At both ends of Lido Key there are Parks that you can bike or walk through, enjoying special 'look-outs' to the beautiful Mangroves surrounding that portion of Lido Key. Kayak rentals are available to get up close and personal with the natural shore lines surrounding Sarasota bay.
Mote Marine, a beautiful Aquarium where you can explore the many beautiful sea animals that live in the Gulf of Mexico is located just off the north end of the key.
Over the Ringling Bridge to mainland Sarasota you can take advantage of many wonderful experiences and a rich cultural community. From the Ringling Museum, to the ballet, opera or concerts at the Van Wezel, to gorgeous downtown Sarasota with its picturesque bay-front. With street names like Lemon, Orange, Pineapple, and Coconut it is a very tropical setting. Downtown Sarasota also boasts a beautiful movie theater, library, plenty of shopping, and wonderful restaurants.

What makes this property unique

The POOL! Private and relaxing! Pool heater! This home is wonderfully private, lots of lush surroundings provide privacy and a fantastic tropical paradise. There is an extra indoor bathroom sink with mirror for the ease of two people getting ready at the same time which always seems to be a problem when you're on vacation. Why waste time waiting for a sink when you can be on the beach or relaxing by the pool! There is also an extra outdoor shower!!
