It was OK

Close to beach and Armada cir. The unit was well equipped. The AC was not working and was replaced on our 4th day. The workman were in the unit a full day. No attempt was made to compensate us for the inconvenience.The WI-FI constantly went out. The walls are so thin you can hear a normal conversation. A family with kids moved in at the end of our stay so I was happy to leave.

Happy wife, happy life

This is the third time my wife and I have reserved the same condo near Armand's Circle, near Lido Beach. Everything has always gone well and we are very happy with iTrip Vacations Siesta Key and the facilities they manage. My wife loves the cleanliness of the condo and it's location close to Armand's Circle and the beach. The condo is well equipped.

Excellent Stay and Wonderful trip

My family and I used itrip sarasota to book our trip to Lido Beach Sarasota and our stay in their duplex was excellent and wonderful all at the same time. It was close to everything family orientated. The hospitality was 2nd to none. We are already thinking about next year’s trip. Thank you again itrip sarasota for helping my family make memories.

2nd Time There

This was our second time staying in this duplex and we loved it! This is a large, well maintained property that made us feel right at home. It's an easy walk to the beach and St. Armand's Circle. The management company is great and was very responsive to any questions that we had. We're hoping to return again next year.

Not the 5 stars I read about

I spent two weeks so feel I can give an accurate review. When I arrived there were ants in the kitchen and they brought Terro ant bait. Then at night the cockroaches came out in the kitchen. One should bring their own pillows very uncomfortable as well as hard beds. Rooms are sparse. Nothing to put luggage on. A bed and two night tables in each room. No mirrors except for in bathroom. I knew it was a duplex but did not realize (given all the 5 star reviews about how quiet it was) how noisy it would be for two weeks :-( No insulation and a shared door you can hear everything when someone stays in other side. When housekeepers come to clean they are really loud and blare music while cleaning. Management said they would address, but they did not. A new house was being built from ground up right next door so I woke up to buzz saws and hammering every morning and all day :-( Only relief was on weekend. Outside the window of king room is a dilapidated house and back yard. I asked that light be fixed outside door (it gets dark and hard to see going upstairs at night) never was fixed and I fell the last night I was there and pulled a muscle. Was dark and I missed a step. Garage was nice but opener was missing. Bikes and toys in garage were a plus. Location is fantastic! However when the morning traffic starts seems to be a steady stream of cars starting around 6AM and work trucks zooming past every few minutes. Windows are not at all insulated. Well they cut you so can't finish!

Vacations were great

The property is as you can see in the announcement, just like the pictures. The check in process is super simple. The neighborhood is gorgeous and calm. We had some issues with the wifi and we received immediate response and solution. Everything lovely. 100% recommended. We will definitely repeat

Location, location, location

My family and I had a really nice time staying at the property. The townhouse is located 1 block from the beach and less than 10 minutes walk to all the shops and restaurants. The place was spacious, updated and most important clean. We had one plumbing issue, but the management was very responsive and was actively working on the resolution. We appreciated having beach towels, beach chairs and toys. We will definitely stay again. Also, I would like to mention, the property manager was wonderful. We left something behind when we left, and she drove 30 minutes one way, out of her way , to bring us the lost item.
