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.

Lovely Spot

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!

The Lanai was a godsend

The temps were scorching so we did not get to lay on the beach as planned. We had the pool and pool toys to play with and keep cool.It was so relaxing. We would love to come back and visit again.

Great stay on Lido Key!

We had a great stay at Julie's property on Lido Key. Leading up to our visit, Julie was very responsive and helpful with any questions. Everything on the property was as-advertised and we especially loved the pool! Perfect location with a very short walk to public beach access and St. Armand's. The house itself was very clean, our only (small) complaint was that the outdoor furniture on the lanai was very dirty and really needed to be wiped down to sit on it. Otherwise we had a great trip and would stay here again!

A little Oasis!!

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!

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!!

We loved it!

What a beautiful home! Our 7 and 3 years old loved the private pool. They swam in it every single day until 9pm at night. We used the 2 kayaks that were available as well and that was a lot of fun and easy to walk to the nature park. Absolutely beautiful! We also used the bikes. Such a perfect place! It has everything that you need: beach chair, umbrella, wagons! Beach toys, tons of floaties! Host Julie was also very quick in responding. We loved our stay!

Great outdoor space

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.

Surprisingly Nice Little House

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.

Great find

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!
