Please read our reviews. We are owner operators and live nearby. It’s our goal to make your time at Living the Dream on Lido memorable. We meet all of our guests on arrival to make sure everything is perfect – we appreciate your business

If you’re looking for a quiet beach community and an island lifestyle than you’re at the right place. The unit is decorated in island style with a king size comfortable bed, flat screen TVs in the living room and bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. What’s really nice is at Lido you can park your car and walk (or bike) as everything you need is nearby. It’s not uncommon for our guests to Uber in for the week.

Like the outdoors? Lido has parks on the north and south end and the kayak park is two blocks away. The beach is a block away and we provide beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler.

Hungry? It’s a 5 minute walk to famous St. Armand’s Circle with 15+ restaurants and upscale boutique shopping. Our favorite spots are at Tommy Bahamas restaurant watching the crowds go by while sipping a martini or on the patio at the Columbia with a pitcher of cava sangria made table side.

Night on the town? Enjoy beautiful downtown Sarasota’s fine dining, theater, opera, ballet, art galleries, antique shops, and museums or just pass the time while strolling the shops of downtown Sarasota. Longboat key and Siesta Key are minutes away.

Linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler provided – just bring your toothbrush! If you forgot it – ask! We probably have it.

And if you have to work (ugh!) there's free Wifi and a small desk in the unit.

You name it and its nearby - golf, beach, bike, boat, sailing, some of the best fishing, fishing charters, aquariums, museums, shopping, wind surfing, kite boarding, swimming, great walking areas, theaters, opera, and on and on.

Here is a sampling of what's nearby!

•Ringling Museum (John Ringling was an art collector)
•Segway Rentals (fun way to tour the town)
•Selby Botanical Gardens (amazing display of orchids)
•Mote Marine Aquarium (fish lovers place and great for kids)
•Van Wezel Performing Arts Center
•Marina Jacks (downtown on the water restaurant with a nice outdoor bar)
•Ca’ d’Zan Mansion (John & Mable Ringling house)
•Myakka State Park (gators and airboats)
•Busch Gardens (hour north)
•Sarasota Opera (located in the theatre district)
•Kennedy Space Center (nice day trip)

Two hours to Orlando attractions. Minutes to Sarasota airport and 1 hour to Tampa and St. Petersburg airports, parks, museums, sporting events.

Winter paradise

This is one of the best condos we have ever stayed in! Great location. Loved the beach relaxing decor. Spent several afternoons, relaxing on the back patio under the palms. We enjoyed walking to the beach, St Armands and the neighborhood. Jan and Chris, our hosts, were delightful and offered helpful recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Would definitely stay here again.

Post hurricaine tranquility

Other than the ice cream parlor closing, my adult sons and I enjoyed our holiday stay at Lido beach very much! The condo is clean and comfortable and well appointed w a great shower. The location cannot be beat - a short walk to the beach, Lido Resort outdoor dining, and Armand Circle. Don’t miss the beachfront park and free circulator bus to downtown! Our innkeeper could not have been nicer or more helpful. Two thumbs up!

Nice condo close to beach

This condo is a very short walk to both the beach and St Armand’s circle. It was very clean and comfortable, and Julie is a great hostess. It was also very well outfitted, with most everything you could need for both the beach and for cooking. The only downside was that there’s not much sunlight due to its location in the complex, and the paint could use a little refreshing.
