Charming Beach Bungalow with Private Pool and steps away from the Beach!

Newly renovated Blue Whale Beach Bungalow is Back and even Better! This amazing retreat boasts a private pool and wonderful private lanai area for the perfect outdoor space. The entire home has been redone and everything is brand new from appliances to flooring to furniture.

AMAZING LOCATION on the highly sought after Lido Key. You are steps away from the beautiful Lido Key Beach, Ted Sperling Park for Kayaking and the famous St. Armand's Circle with dining and shopping. This private oasis is only a 15 minute drive from the Sarasota Airport and only a couple of miles to downtown Sarasota for additional shopping and dining. There is a free shuttle, the Sarasota Bay Runner, operating 7 days a week from 8 AM - Midnight that connects downtown Sarasota with St. Armand's Circle and Lido Key.

The indoor living space is completely open and leads out to the outdoor living space for wonderful Florida living. The new expansive kitchen is perfect for enjoying family time. The kitchen includes all the amenities you could possibly need. The primary bedroom has a king size bed with ensuite bathroom, walk in closet and full size washer and dryer. The 2nd bedroom on the opposite side of the bungalow boasts a queen bed, nice size closet and ensuite bathroom. Open living room area offers a queen size sofa bed for additional sleeping.

The outdoor lanai which leads out to the pool is completely screened in and offers a large 10 person seated table and large sectional area. Additional lounge chairs and pool floats make this the perfect escape. Kayaks, bikes and BBQ grill are also provided for your complete enjoyment during your stay at one of our favorite places in the world!

Fun family trip

We stayed for a few nights and my husband was able to work from the house while we went out and explored. We loved that we could walk to the beach, as well as to many restaurants and shops. The house was very comfortable and clean - we would love to come back.
