Wonderful

We had an amazing stay again this year. We stayed for two weeks this time and the time just flew by everything in the house was beautiful. Everything we needed was there couldn’t ask for a better place to stay really close to the beach just one block away and also had a swimming pool next to the Lido Beach Pavilion, that was accessible Communication with the owners was fantastic. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

Amazing place!!

The house was wonderful. Just a short walk to the beach and easy access to shopping and restaurants. Everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided from beach items to bathroom towels to a well stocked kitchen. We came for a wedding, but the stay on Lido Key was the icing on the cake.
