Good for a 2 person getaway
The unit was the perfect size for us, and it had a short walk to a public access point for the beach. There were beach chairs and an umbrella for us to use which I wasn’t expecting but appreciated! There was a lot of rain and flooding during our trip but no water came into the unit. A downside is outdated appliances (the oven was our main issue) cooking felt like it took longer than it should’ve. There are windows on every wall so the wall AC unit had to work hard to keep the room comfortable. When we arrived the unit was over 80 degrees and it took a solid day to get the temperature down. Luckily they had a box fan for us to use.

Bed had not been changed over . Was full of sand and lint. Wife had numerous bites. We left after two nights and stayed elsewhere. Returned on last morning at 9:30 to make sure we had packed everything in our hast to get out and the cleaning person had already been inside and was finishing up even though check out time is 10:00.

Lido Key
My best friend and I did a girls trip here the 1st week of July. All went well and the property was affordable and pretty much as described. It could definitely use some updating but I didn’t travel from Ohio to sit in the room! With exception of our food we did not have to purchase anything else, but we had brought our own beach gear. A couple things I want to make clear that I did not realize till we got ther. 1. Laundry is available but it is coin operated outside the home. The dryer was very hot and would not shut off but I alerted the management when I left. 2. The shower is VERY slippery, be VERY cautious 3. The deck is in need of repair, several exposed nails and pieces of fallen railing, be super cautious if you have little ones. I did also alert management for this issue. 4. There is some water damage to the ceiling fairly close to the bed. I assume the roof leak was fixed, but I made sure not to put anything under it. 5. Most importantly to ME!, lol..if you like to beach AND pool, be aware this property does NOT have a pool. There is a Sarasota community pool a block and a half away. It is only open on Fri, Sat, Sun, You have to register and then pay each day to use it. There is another community pool about 5 miles away for during the week. All that being said, we had a great time, went St Armand’s circle to eat and shop, and agin for the money, I would rent this property again.

We stayed in this small, but comfortable unit, at the rear of the house that is pictured. It was perfect for us for the price – not fancy but clean and functional. A short walk from the beach and from St. Armand's Circle as well. This was the second year that we have spent the holidays there and it suits us very well. Host is pleasant and accommodating.

I’m a picky person, I didn’t find it real clean. Lights were without correct bulbs wobbly. The bed had downy fabric softener stains, bleached out. Wonder how the furniture gets cleaned and sanitized? I wasn’t real pleased.
