"My partner and I stayed here for her birthday, and it was amazing! It’s only about an 8-minute walk to St. Armands Circle and even less to the beach. The space was clean and comfortable—definitely a 10/10 stay. Some of the appliances could use an upgrade, but we were told that renovations were already underway during our visit, so I can’t wait to see the updates next time. We even tried to extend our stay, but the secret is clearly out about this place—it was fully booked! We’re already looking...

"This is our second year staying at this house. It is spacious and works really well for extended family. Very kid friendly as it comes with a highchair, toys and pack and play. The kitchen is also well stocked including many spices. There is a great outdoor space around the pool where we spent many hours. The host is very responsive to any questions or help you may need. The location is an easy drive to the beach or shopping. Loved the quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend this house. We will be back."

10/10 Excellent
"House seemed to be in progress. Tv in the bedroom didn’t work but overall a nice place close to the beach. Served my needs just fine and would go back "
Vacation delight! Cozy condo just steps from the beach and St. Armands circle.
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful location just a short walk to the public beach and public, heated pool. Also right down the street from the trolley pickup which made it super convenient to visit without a car. The public park one stop south on the trolley was wonderful for watching the sunset or sunrise and for shell searching. The condo was perfectly stocked with essential and having a wagon and beach chairs was amazingly convenient and made our stay even better. The condo is clean and spacious and just all around lovey. I cannot wait to come back in the future - I would pick Lido Key over Siesta Key any day! "
