Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

This is a great little place for a getaway to the beach. Right within walking distance to both the beach and Armaund Circle. We had a blast. 2 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. Went kayaking at Coastal Kayak Adventures that is also within walking distance. enjoyed the sunsets! We'll be back.

Our March Florida Vacation

This place was perfect, very clean and fully stocked in case you didn’t bring something. We had a home away from home. My husband, dog and a few friends popped in. Great backyard for our dog, location to the beach and had everything you need in your rental. Looking forward to next year

Sincerely Satisfied

Jackie and Davidson: You were excellent host. This place was immaculately clean. It had everything you could possibly need from beach towels, beach chairs, first aid kits and all of the kitchen amenities necessary. It was an intimate place for the purpose of hitting a few spots in Sarasota and enjoying the beach with close friends, Thanks folks for your welcoming communication. Sincerely Satisfied, Daisy and John

Welcoming, clean and wonderfully stocked!

Absolutely loved the huge screened in porch (a bit warm for July but would be even better if a little cooler weather)! Definitely one of the cleanest if not THE cleanest VRBO we’ve stayed in. Kitchen stocked with any dish, utensil or item you could ever need. A bonus that there was enough toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, plus other items for our stay. One note to mention - the communal pool is at the public beach and not part of this complex. Check in was easy and check out duties minimal and quick. Highly recommend this property!

Clean, close to beach, nice touches

This property is one block from the beautiful Lido Beach and the lovely sunsets. House is small, but also cozy, very well-maintained and comes with nice extra touches (soap and shampoo provided, bottle of wine, beach towels and beach coolers/gear available for use). Comfy beds--even the sofabed was reasonably comfortable. The large screened-in patio was pleasant. Only negative I can think of is the long driveway and tight spaces for turning the car about.

Lido Beach Bungalow

The location of the property was ideal, 1 1/2 blocks to beach, 6 blocks or so to St. Armand's Circle. All our provisions were provided for. In fact, when we asked the owner, Davidson, if there was a wagon to take our things to the beach, he said no, but I'll get you one. Which he did several hours later. We had a great experience.

Lido beach cottage

Cute & well maintained cottage within easy walk to the beach. I originally booked for 5 related adults, yet 2 ended up not making the trip, so the space was super for 3 adults & may have been a little too cozy for 5. Perfect for a family with kids though! We loved using the provided wagon to haul things to & from the beach and also appreciated the provided beach chairs & towels. Parking at the house a little tight, so if renting a car, get a smaller one, yet we really appreciated the off street parking. We loved that we walked everywhere unless we went over to Sarasota mainland. We would go back to this cottage if we ever are back in the area! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Lido Key Beach Cottage

Our family of 5 enjoyed a wonderful 5 day vacation in the beach cottage house. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. The covered back patio was wonderful after a long day at the beach to relax with lots of privacy. The property came with 6 Tommy Bahama beach chairs and two brand new umbrellas. Coolers were also provided. Even had a cart to bring everything to the beach, which was about 2-3 blocks away. Nice quiet neighborhood. Was hot during our visit so we opted to drive to St. Armands Circle for dinner versus the 15-20 minute walk each direction. Beach is about an 8 minute walk. We had a rental car but there was room for at least one more car. Very quiet and private. The washer and dryer were nice to have as we did several loads of laundry to help us get organized for our trip home. Would definitely rent the unit again.

Family vacation

Very nice house. We enjoyed St. Armands circle for shops and dinner. We were close to many beaches. All we really needed was a beach wagon. But overall a great spot😎

Lovely home and very convenient!

Great home on Lido Key. Very convenient to St. Armand's, downtown and Longboat Key. Beautiful neighborhood! We thoroughly enjoyed our walks around the wonderful homes, parks and beaches. Everything was spotless and the home was stoked with most anything you could need. Great place to stay. Thanks!

We had a great stay. Everything was clean and just as described. Had family staying at another place right on the beach so we used their beach. Thanks for a great weekend.

Perfect Everything

Davidson's place was perfectly suited for our stay in the Sarasota area. It was a family getaway for us (my daughter and her daughters) to visit my mom (their grandmother and great grandmother). The space was really clean and nicely furnished with more TV's than we could ever use! The cabinets were filled with all the dishware and cookware we needed along with lots of products for laundry, dishwasher, etc. The beds were all extremely comfortable and plenty of storage for our clothes. The screened patio was the highlight... breakfast and dinners were always out there because it was so spacious and had a backdrop of huge golden bamboo and other tropical plants that made it really enjoyable to hang out. Proximity to the beach and St. Armands Circle was great. We also did a kayak tour where the "put in" was literally a block away. Our granddaughters loved their first time in a kayak. So all in all, I don't think we could have done any better. Oh and I forgot to mention the array of puzzles and games along with sand/water toys and some bikes (that we didn't use). Loved our time and hope it will be available for our next time visiting Grandma!

Great cottage on Lido Key

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is terrific for walking to dining/shopping at St. Armand's Circle and walking or driving to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and it was great to have beach chairs and umbrellas at the ready. (Sadly, only two the bicycles were functional and we got no response from the owner to a question about the bike lock.) We highly recommend this cottage!

Charming Beach Cottage

This cottage was perfect! It was across the street from the beach, the bicycles were ready to go & worked well. So close to St Armand’s & traffic was easily avoidable. It was clean & big, fully stocked & everything was in great condition. We really enjoyed it & had friends come join us!

Great place, close to beach and St. Armands Circle

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was close to the beach (I recommend walking to the public beach with the parking lot) and St. Armands Circle (~12 minutes walk). There were plenty of towels, linens and toiletries too. There were also a good amount of chairs and umbrellas for the beach. This house is unit 5 at the end of a narrow alleyway but we could comfortably park our vehicle. It is narrow so if you're bringing a larger vehicle be prepared to make a K turn to get in and out. It was not an issue after the first time and we had a Honda Pilot. Patio was a great place to sit at night with a beer and family.
