About this condo rental

Situated in Saint Armands Key, this lovely condo for $189 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Step into a slice of Sarasota paradise nestled in the heart of St Armand's Circle! This isn't just any rental, it's an experience waiting to unfold. Picture this: a vibrant rooftop deck, just a skip away from the pristine Lido Beach, and surrounded by the charm of boutiques, shops, and eateries within walking distance. Now, about this place! Forget the conventional—this condo's got a secret. Tucked behind an unassuming blue door lies a vibrant world, drawing inspiration from speakeasy culture blended with a laid-back beach vibe. Your adventure starts the moment you step in, greeted by a hidden washer and dryer, a concrete-floor corridor leading to a quirky 2 small flight stairway (no elevators here!), and a code-locked doorknob entrance to your abode on the second floor for extra security and privacy.. Inside, discover a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath haven with a fully equipped kitchen. The fusion of beachy elements and speakeasy accents is evident in every nook and cranny. Parking? Fear not! While dedicated parking isn't available, fret not, as the Beachy Speakeasy is a haven for pedestrians and Uber aficionados. Want to bike around? Use our provided bikes (or rent electric scooter sand bikes), beach gear, and even a trusty beach wagon for a hassle-free time at the shore without the parking fuss. Ah, transportation! Explore the area with ease—the a free trolley whisks you from St Armand's Circle to Downtown Sarasota and beyond. And if wheels are your preference, plenty of nearby free and paid parking spots await. Back at your cozy retreat, lounge in the main living area with a comfortable blue velvet sofa futon, 2 blue velvet chairs, and coastal-themed accents. Head out to the rooftop deck for morning coffee and breakfast, lunch or dinner & evening drinks on our new patio dining table with 4 chairs under the twinkle lights. You can also enjoy sun-soaked relaxation, rooftop yoga (mats provided!), or even a small workout with free weights. We have an Astroturf area with 2 lounge chairs an umbrella and a side table/ice chest for soaking up the sun and another sitting area with Astro-turf flooring, a small wicker loveseat, 2 chairs and a small center table.

If you like them you can buy them through Amazon. The second bedroom offers equal comfort without a window, perfect for those serene lie-ins. It does feature a mirrored wall, smart tv, smart speaker, luggage rack, and clothing rack with robes as well, but it does not have extra seating areas. Hungry or in need of a caffeine fix?

I look forward to my next stay at the beachy speakeasy. I felt very much at home in this cute two bedroom condo with fully stocked kitchen. The host has truly thought of everything, and the details were duly noted! I was especially impressed with the variety of condiments available for my Nespresso latte (e.g raw local honey etc.) I bought a few groceries and was able to cook and eat most of my meals at home because the host has a fully stocked kitchen with pots and pans and a variety of appliances like a crock pot, a toaster, a blender, espresso machine, coffee maker, coffee bean grinder and water filter pitcher just to name a few. I felt very at home with these details that I didn't even realize made such a difference until I was away from home!! The bed was really comfortable and it was very quiet which is important to me! Great strong wi-fi and the entire condo is set up with music receivers so that you can listen to music throughout the house and there are phone chargers available in every room. They even have a record player with some old school records if you're feeling nostalgic! I was able to do some yoga out on the rooftop which was really nice on a beautiful day. The host was very helpful when I had a few questions prior to check in, but they also provided ample information, instructions in the "condo manual" so that I could enjoy my privacy during my vacation and didn't need to reach the host again. I would highly recommend staying here. ~M. Donnelly

The location was great for shopping and dining within St. Armand Circle. The bedrooms were very nice and beds very comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was large and well equipped. A lot of little extras that make a difference like: bathroom amenities including mouthwash, toothbrush and soaps. Anything you would need for the beach including sunscreen. There were plenty of sodas and even beer in the fridge when we arrived as well as a Nespresso machine with pods. There were a few minor things that needed repair like the toilet paper holder and a missing towel holder in the bathroom. The entrance to the apartment is odd in that it’s in the back of an alley by the garbage dumpster with a bit of a rough entrance that includes 2 flights of cement stairs to reach the actual apartment and there is no designated parking. Parking was a bit of an issue as you could park on one street 8pm-8am free of charge and then hourly parking during the day, so it was a bit of a hassle moving the car every 12 hours. It was a fun time and nice stay but next time I would choose convenience and closer proximity to the beach.

The place was spacious and cute with everything we needed (like coffee and plenty of towels!) Loved that we could walk to breakfast and dinner and beach was short walk or drive. Owner instructions and tips were incredibly thorough and helpful. Had an awesome time!

My wife & I were here in mid February. This place is smack in the middle Armands Circle in St. Armands Key. As you enter St. Armands Key and enter Armands Circle, you can't help and feel how wonderful this place is. So many shops and restaurants. People milling about and music played from different areas within the circle. This continues thru the evening. The 2 bedroom apartment is above Salt Life clothing shop. The apartment is entered thru the rear of the building and go upstairs to enter the apartment. This apartment was very clean and different from many VRBO apartments. This apartment also had a rooftop deck sitting area.. This apartment was filled with everything you can think of. Kitchen closet had all sorts of snacks & beverage. The bathroom had plenty of towels, hair dryer. curling iron and toiletries.The apartment had a large cart with beach chairs, umbrella, bikes, roller blades and helmet. The beach is within walking distance 1/4 mile but for older adults a 3 minute car drive.. Don't want to forget the washer & dryer. It had everything along with that different feel that makes it unique. The host Chad was most helpful, especially in guiding us to get .to the door. Now the following mentions in no way changes how my wife & I ,feel about this place. Because of the steep steps to get to the apartment, older couples 70 or over will have some trouble going up the steps while carrying their suitcase and keeping their balance. The second is a suggestion to Chad. When first walking into the first door, the floor is all painted grey. It may be worthwhile to paint a 3"yellow border on the edge of the stepdown. I would highly recommend this apartment when visiting St. Armands Key.
