The villa is 584 square feet with a newly updated stainless/granite kitchen with stocked cabinets, basic appliances (no d/w in the kitchen) for making homemade meals a breeze....or go out and explore the numerous great restaurants on Lido Key, St Armand's Circle, Longboat Key or Downtown Sarasota that are just minutes away.

Simple Simon, no fuss no muss.
Perfect little spot for the 5 of us. We don’t mind sleeping as a family together as it reminds us of the old days. Stayed for 5 nights and we enjoyed it very much. Simple and easy walk to town and the beach. Would stay here again.

Excellent experience!
I highly recommend this adorable and comfortable unit in Lido Key! The accommodations are perfect for up to five people (if one is willing to sleep on the pullout) and the open, airy layout of the unit make it feel much bigger than it is. It could not be better situated on the key, as it's walking distance to everything and anything you would need - including the best beach at Lido and the popular Armand Circle. We had a fantastic experience at this property and will be staying there again in the future.

Everything you need at Lido Key
My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at this property. Good sized living room separated from the bedroom so an early riser won’t disturb a sleeping partner. Two bathrooms were a great convenience when returning from the beach. Perfect location for walking to restaurants, beach and kayaking! We had bikes delivered to do some daily riding around the neighborhood. We plan to book this condo again.

Lovely Stay Shy The Mattresses
It was a lovely place at Lido, but mattresses really matter to us and they were way too hard/firm and we didn’t sleep well. The coffee maker was the other negative, we had to make 2 pots per day. A 12 cup black and decker coffeemaker would be a great $25 investment.

Disappointed
This “ condo”is proof that pictures do lie. Let me start by saying that the location of this property is excellent. You can walk everywhere. The beds were pretty comfortable. However, It’s downhill from there. There is not one comfortable chair in this place and the tired sofa and chairs were filthy. We had to cover them with towels before sitting on them. Spent our brief time indoors sitting on bar stools. We eventually brought the dirty porch chairs inside. The kitchen cabinets were actually greasy. Our white socks quickly became black on the bottoms from the dirty floors. There is very little closet space, like next to nothing. The closet is filled with a vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies and the air conditioner. No room to hang more than a handful of items.There is no way 6 people could stay here comfortably. It would be impossibly crowded. I woke to a giant cockroach in the bathtub. The washing machine was broken for our entire stay. Called the management four times and ,although they answered promptly, they did not do anything to remedy the problem, or return our money. We finally had to drive 20 minutes to a sketchy laundromat. The pool furniture was broken, dirty and sparse. We spent as little time as possible indoors, which was hard to do with the red tide. For the money, this place was a HUGE disappointment. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Lido key
Great location. Easy check in and out. Pictures are very deceiving as far as the size. Sleeping 6 is really tight. If it’s only 2-4 people it’s perfect. Pool was nice. If you like lido key and you have a small party. You really can’t beat the price. We would go again. Just a smaller group. Place was clean and updated nicely. Shower needs some shelves for soup and shampoos so your not picking them up off the floor.

Dirty and much smaller and outdated than appears in photos
This unit is advertised as sleeping six, however it doesn’t mean it should. It is very very very small and was tight for half that amount of people - 3 adults. Upon entering the unit, it smelled very moldy and stagnant. Bathrooms were not clean with hair around the shower drains and dirty faucet handles. No privacy in bathroom off living room as the barn style door doesn’t close completely and leaves a large gap for anyone to see through. Poorly thought out design. Toilet seat in the bathroom in the bedroom is the wrong size (too small) so you’re constantly slipping around. No bath towels provided, just some beach towels and one dirty/stained hand towel. Beds were uncomfortable and pillows were cheap and flat. Location is run down and a bit sketchy. I was very nervous about leaving valuables in the unit while out. Walk to the beach takes much longer than 7 minutes, especially when carry beach chairs, cooler, etc. Overall, poor design, dirty and unaccommodating. It’s obvious that the bear minimum is being done to maintain this unit. I felt ripped off as it’s very overpriced for subpar quality. Couldn’t wait to leave. I wouldn’t stay here again.
