Short get away
The location is great. 3 minute walk to beach, 7 minute walk to the circle. It's a great place for 2 people. Only cons were that there was no dish towel in the kitchen to dry dishes, no bath mat and the outside light coming into the apartment at night made it difficult to sleep.

The property was decent but there were several things that took our rating down. I communicated by email asking if we could get in an any earlier that 4pm. I didn't expect I could, but they did not have the courtesy to reply. More importantly: *There was no way to block out any light in the morning from any of the windows or the skylight. When the sun was up, so were we. *Several of the shades were broken and so no control of the light at all. *The floor was not clean, and we found a large floating piece of hair / dust combo near the bed. *The wall air conditional nearest the bed was noisy and had to turn it off. *Lastly there were no instructions on how to use the TV with multiple remotes. We finally gave up. Sorry for such a sour review but felt for the money spent, these problems should not have existed.

Lucky in Lido
While looking for hotel rooms, a VRBO sidebar popped up showing a cute little beach cottage in Lido Key. On a whim, I clicked on it, and it was just right! An efficiency cottage that was just perfect for the two of us and in a perfect location a short walk from St. Armands Circle! Beautiful beach, great location, good restaurants and a comfy bed. It all added up to a great week away from snow! We're looking forward to visiting again!

The house was clean and there were scooters nearby which was super convenient, it should definitely be listed as a perk to the property. The walk to st Armand’s isn’t long but when it’s hot it’s not so great and the accessibility to the trolley and scooters was perfect! Property was right across the street from the beach and that’s exactly what we wanted! The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to get DoorDash late which was another perk because st Armand’s closes at about 10 pm. Communication with owner was great and they were very pleasant and helpful! Overall we loved every minute! Will come again for sure!

Nice for Short stay. Would stay here again.
Really liked this place!!! It was perfect for what my husband and I wanted for our anniversary extended weekend. It was a great location. A short walk to the beach and a very short drive to Saint Armand’s circle. Made for a very nice relaxing weekend. It was great to have chairs and an umbrella for us too! Made for a great stay. Would stay here again for sure. Here are a few suggestions to make the place even better: a cooler to take to the beach and a place to put our things like drawers or a luggage rack so our suit case didn’t have to go on the floor.

Perfect for two!
This property is perfect for two. Only drawback is that there isn't really a good place for clothes/suitcases but if you're a light packer, it's no problem. Perfect location...a block from the most beautiful beach and walking distance to St. Armands for shopping and restaurants. Neighborhood is nice and clean. We felt perfectly safe walking home after dark. Loved Lido Beach! We'll be back!

Perfect Location
My GF and I had a great time staying here. Located on a very quiet street, it’s a 2-minute walk to Lido Beach, and a 12 minute walk to St Armand’s Circle with all of their top notch restaurants and bars. Beach chairs and umbrella are included, we really enjoyed packing some snacks and sitting on the beautiful beach each day. The kitchen, while fully stocked, is appropriate for making breakfast and lunch; dinner is best enjoyed eating out. I’ve seen some reviews questioning the size of the bed… It’s definitely a queen size bed, but the mattress is probably a little old and tends to sag in the middle, so at night time we tended to roll toward each other a little bit. I also saw some reviews stating hairdryers and lights weren’t working…I can attest everything works, and the place is VERY well lit at night. On top of everything else, there’s even a common area in the back with washer/dryer, a grill, outdoor showers, etc. All in all a very cool place, we loved it, our only suggestions would be to upgrade the mattress, and add some seasonings and other basic staples to the kitchen such as salt, pepper, and sugar… That would make a nice welcome to incoming guess. Please book this place with confidence!
