Siesta Key Shell Beach Hotels

"Our stayed at the Lido Beach resort was wondeful. It was easy to communicate with the hotel staff through text messages . The pool and beach staff was amazing . From getting chairs, towels, putting up beach umbrella and making sure our drinks and food getting to us fast . We love how easy it’s to get to the beach . The kids love the free ice cream and the heated pool. We would definitely come back . "

"Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are nice & clean. The amenities; free water bottles, bikes, beach towels and chairs make the stay even better. The location is perfect, quick walk into Siesta Village & the beach!"

"Check in was excellent. Owen was very helpful and considerate. Great room and great location "

"This is a cozy place in a great location- just a 7 minute walk from Lido Beach. The complex was quiet and peaceful. There is a free shuttle bus into downtown Sarasota every 15 minutes. And it’s a 15 minute walk to St Armand’s circle, with many good restaurants "

"This was our first time staying at this condo and at Lido Beach - it was a fantastic week. The condo was perfect for the two of us - well-equipped, cozy, full kitchen, great bed, a small outdoor sitting area to soak up sun, and beach chairs to take to gorgeous Lido Beach, only a block away. The beach front itself is occupied by upscale resorts and high-rise apartments, but the beach wasn't crowded - beautiful wide white sand leading to calm gulf waters, with beautiful sunsets. The whole area was peaceful and prosperous - all of Lido Key, St. Armand's Key (where you come onto these Sarasota keys from the mainland), and Longboat Key to the north. Famous St. Armand's Circle is less than 1/2 mile from the condo, with busy shops and top-notch restaurants - an easy walk. We rented bikes there to ride the lovely neighborhood. 3 blocks south from the condo is Ted Sperling Nature Park, an impressive natural area of palm, Sea Grape, and mangrove with its own beach and kayaks for rent to paddle amazing channels through the mangrove and see herons, egrets, pelicans, and jumping fish. While most of the restaurants are in St. Armand's, the Lido Beach Resort (just a block from the condo) had an outstanding restaurant - "Drift" - and a coffee and breakfast bar off the lobby. A block away there's a public pavilion with sandwiches, a bar, a pool (closed in winter) and direct access to the beach. We had a such a great time, we didn't go back to the mainland all week. Recommended. "

"Best VRBO we have stayed in."

"Excellent location. Great host, Jessie, attentive to needs. Property was in need of some extra cleaning and supplies and that was taken care of right away. Would definitely stay again and tried to book for next year, but price had doubled! "

"Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Excellent location, quiet and safe but close to the beach & St Armand circle. "

"Very response host. House was well stocked and comfortable. Exactly as described. "
