We have stayed at a few different rental properties on Lido Key and this had by far the best outdoor space. A large covered area with comfortable armchairs and a dining table, another dining table out in the sun and plenty of loungers next to the pool. I appreciated the pool being heated to 86F.
The kayaks were a great feature and it’s only a few minutes walk to the kayak launch (where you can also rent kayaks). I enjoyed exploring the mangroves and saw some dolphins in deeper water.
It’s a pleasant 15 minute walk to the restaurants and shops at St Armands Circle.
The house itself was comfortable.

House is located right on corner with parking in front and side. Only house in that row with covered pool and lanai. Outside area was large and had plenty of furniture, chaise lounge chairs, pool floats, and TV. Inside was very comfortable and had a well-stocked kitchen with dishes, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, pots and pans. I have stayed at rental homes that didn't have nearly all the items that this house had.

We enjoyed our stay on Lido Key. The house was within walking distance of parks and the quaint shopping and restaurant district. We were there to attend a wedding on Longboat Key, and it was an easy drive to the wedding venue. The lanai and pool were delightful!

Best location! Easy walk to beach, parks, St Armand’s Circle and an easy drive anywhere else. Surrounding homes are gorgeous also. House had nice pool and lanai for relaxing.
Some minor things could use updates such as the beach chairs. Weather & wear have made them a bit rough. But overall, a super stay and very responsive host!!

In town for wedding with friends. My daughter lives there and was invited as well. They ended up having to stay with us as there was a fatality on tingling bridge and it was shut down at 10pm police didn’t k ow when it would reopen. We all had to walk back to Vrbo from welcome drinks at O’Learys . It took us two hours. Thank goodness the Vrbo had extra rollaway‘s and a pull out sofa as that’s where everyone had to crash. quite an ordeal, but it all turned out great the outdoor area at the VRBO. It’s amazing big lanai, TV and pool. 2 blocks to beach!

This property is amazing! An adorable, well kept, modern bungalow a block from the beach! It has a privacy wall around it, so you really feel like you are in your own little oasis. The pool is beautiful and warm! 😁
The whole lanai area has a large covered patio area next to the pool, where you can hang out all day! The home is very well stocked, you are 15 min from a grocery store, and the owners are wonderful at communicating! I highly recommend staying here!

We very much enjoyed our stay — it had everything we needed and was very relaxing. Loved being able to get to everything so close by using the bikes. We took the kayaks out to the mangroves and loved having them to use as well. Lots of great beach toys and the pool was perfect to come back to! Highly recommend.

Cute cottage and loved the location, as it was an easy walk to everything in which we were interested—beach, restaurants and shops. The pool was wonderful for relaxing. Really pleased with our stay.

We had a great time - property was exactly what we needed - block to the beach - great cozy pool to relax in and also still stay engaged with my folks that visited us during the daytime - as they could relax on the lanai and still be a part of the fun. Well appointed kitchen, home, and overall a great place

We LOVED our stay here! Location to the beach and St. Armand’s circle is perfect. Screened in pool and deck are amazing. Julie was a fantastic host and responded almost immediately throughout the entire process! Would definitely book again and we are bummed it’s already booked for next year. Everything is provided! All you need is a suitcase of clothes……everything else is taken care of!

We had a wonderful week at this property! The hosts were helpful and easy to communicate with. The property was so clean and well stocked! The outdoor space was amazing. We spent many hours relaxing on the covered/screened patio. The location is excellent- within walking distance to the beach access and many shops and restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic property with all amenities! Beach in the morning and pool in the afternoon. Bikes and kayaks were in great shape. You don’t need to bring a thing other than your clothes and swimwear.

Great property. Some notes for repairs. Mstr bath left sink is very slow draining. Main bath stool is running in tank. One blue beach chair was broke, I left it out for you. One beach chair strap was broke, I jerry rigged it for usage. Couldn't get patio tv to work. I am a landlord so I thought you would want to know about these items. Property was great and we were sad to hear that it is already rented for next year. Thanks, David Rapanos

Our family of 4 (boys- 5 & 7) stayed at this wonderful property. All you need to pack is your swimsuit;)! This house is stocked with all your kitchen needs, beach needs, bikes, kayaks, books & games! Julie was very responsive & accommodating. We ended up extending our stay we loved it so much. Easy walk to the beach, kayak landing, St. Armand’s…just as described. It was such a cute & comfy home. We hope to be back!!

Property was incredibly well equipped for a rental, we were continually finding new things they had throughout the stay: bikes, kayaks, pool floats, beach toys, etc. Very clean, 2 blocks to beach, and outdoor TV by the pool was excellent.

Rolayne and Gary’s home is amazing with all the amenities that you could imagine. We loved having a pool at the house but also the short walk to the beach. In addition, St. Armand’s is only a short 15 minute walk from the house. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return to Lido Key!!!

This was the perfect place for my family. The home was perfectly located with only a short walk to the beach and to food and shops. We didn’t need to bring anything besides ourselves and clothes. The home was stocked with everything we needed for the beach or for a lazy day beside the pool. The owners were quick to answer any questions and made the whole process effortless. We can’t wait to come back and visit again.

I’ve been coming to this area for 35 years and must say this was one of my favorites. Love all the amenities and so close to the beach. Lido beach on the 4th of July holiday is so fun, with the boat races, and being able to just walk there was a plus. Would definitely stay again.
