This rental is right off the circle. It is easy to get around, many shops, cafes and restaurants just steps away. The beach is a short walk with easy access to all the beach amenities at the Lido Beach public facilities. The space is clean and comfortable and provided all we needed for our party of four.

Ocean and ice cream!

This is the second year renting this quiet beautifully decorated unit. The complex is friendly with lush ground and a heated pool. The beach is a 6 minute walk. The circle is around the corner with our favorite restaurants and Olaf's homemade ice cream! What's not to love?

Another great stay at this property

Our little family has been coming to lido Beach Sarasota area for years. It's a quieter beach but that's our preference but still pristine white sands. Beautiful water. Very clean. Parking and beach access is much easier than siesta Key. I was delighted to see that the property had some updates when I arrived at the condo. Furniture changes, paint color changes. Very nice additions and much needed changes. It's a great quiet place to stay this time of year. The property is always very clean. You can't beat the access to Saint armands. Very helpful. Staff will stay again

Everything was listed properly. This clean, quiet, condo has a very clean pool area. The condo is 465 feet from St. Armand's Circle. We were walking distance to Lido Key Beach. You do not need a car to get around. Everything is within walking distance. We will definitely stay in this condo again.

Great location but this visit lacked attention

We have visited this property many times over the years as always we love the location proximity to St Armands and Lido Beach which is important to us. Unfortunately this most recent visit presented missteps. 1. 1st day - AC was not working although quickly rectified it is managed remotely therefore the occupants cannot adjust the AC on their own so we froze at night and were moderately comfortable during the day. Occupants need to be able.to adjust the a/c according to their needs. 2. Majority of the beach equipment in the equipment closet is worn and broken; one working umbrella and two nice chairs the rest of the equipment should be discarded. 3. It is customary for vacation rentals to offer full size toiletries for their guest - NOT tiny starter kits 4. Lighting in the condo should be updated: several lamps didn't have bulbs. 5. Better pillows must be offered; ours were flat and tired. 6. This visit the spa and pool were dirty during majority of our visit. Pool cleaning service should be more frequent when more guests/residents are present.

The location was fantastic! One can walk to everything .

The price was very reasonable, the furnishings were lovely and comfortable. Everything that we needed was available. The swimming pool and grounds were well maintained. Booking, paying and receiving information regarding check were easy. We had a couple of minor issues and when we contacted the number provided, we received immediate helpful responses. We couldn't have asked for more.

Close to everything, but quiet!

We (family with 2 kids aged 7 and 8) much appreciated our stay in Loretta’s apartment. It was quiet despite being one minute walk from busy St Armands Circle with a lot of restaurants. The kitchen is very well equipped and our children enjoyed the pool toys that were available. We would recommend this place for families.

Nice convenient condo!

Great location and the apartment is very nice. Laundry is in the complex but a bit of a walk to get to. Kitchen has lots of little extras you don't always find in Airbnb - lots of glasses, plates, bowls and pots. Appliances are new. Pool and hot tub are nearby and very nice. Very convenient.
