This home was very special. The property manager/Host , Trevor,was super nice, and very helpful. Even before our arrival he was helping us make decisions on where to get groceries and renting a golf cart via text and phone calls. We also used his expertise a few times during our trip as well. He grew up locally so he had a lot of knowledge on the area. He met us at our property on arrival and showed us around the house and how to use the thermostat, garage, gave us codes for the bike locks etc. The "extras" were great and there were many. The home came with two beach cruisers, a nice beach wagon, 4 comfy beach chairs, ample beach towels ( I think 12), a beach cooler/icechest an extra full sized fridge for beverages in the garage and a deep freezer to store our extra bags of ice for the beach. Linen service was included and was of good quality.
The location could not have been better. The proximity to the beach was a brief walk after filling the wagon with our cooler and beach items conveniently in the garage. The shops in St Armand's circle were close enough to walk but we chose to drive because the shopping was amazing and we needed to store our treasures in our rental car. I could see strolling home after a dinner at one of the many wonderful restaurants. We had two favorite restaurants: Le Collone and Shore, but all were good. There was everything from a New York style deli and pizza shops to fine dining.
The home itself had a very comfortable living space. Very clean, seemed new or freshly remodeled. The bedrooms were all nicely furnished and all 4 beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were very nice and the master bath was large and open with a spa-like vibe. There was enough room in there to share space with my two teen daughters as we helped each other get ready for our fun evenings out.
My husband and I really appreciated the screened in porch to keep the bugs away while we sipped on our evening beverages and that tree in the back yard was visible form the main living areas at all times, so that lent a peaceful atmosphere to the home.
Overall, I recommend this home. It lacked nothing and was everything that my family had hoped for. I will definitely look for and rent from Lido Key Vacation Rental again when we go back to the area and ask for Trevor.
