Great location!

The location to St Armand Circle was perfect. We walked to the circle every morning for breakfast. Did a little shopping one day, enjoyed the Christmas festival in the evening. A short walk to the beach. Very nice place to stay!

Rebuilding in progress

Nice place, roomy and clean. Pool is beautiful. Disappointed the hot tub was out of service, but no fault of this unit. The first floor is under reconstruction after the hurricanes, but this 2nd floor unit was spared. Could probably use a new coffee pot and hair dryer, the buttons on both are finicky. The shops and restaurants on the circle are on the mend, but many remain closed yet.

Opinion

The place was fine, great location with easy access to dining, shopping and Lido Beach. I would recommend better drapery hardware and kitchen utensils. We would love to come back sometime.

Great location at St Armand Circle

This condo is located in one of the four quadrants of St. Armand Circle, putting it just steps away from shopping and restaurants. Despite the impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton in late 2024, many restaurants and shops have recovered and are open for business, which was a pleasant surprise.The condo itself is very spacious, featuring a bedroom and a large living room. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the AC and heating unit worked perfectly. We especially appreciated the heating during a cold spell during our stay. While the bathroom is quite small, I managed to find room for all my cosmetics without too much trouble.The owners warned us about the small parking space (btw free) but we had a Nissan Kicks and the space was more than appropriate. Additionally, the condo is within a short walking distance of the beach, which is absolutely beautiful and perfect for relaxation. Overall, this condo is a great choice for anyone looking to stay near St. Armand Circle and enjoy the local amenities and the stunning beach. We had a lovely time and would happily recommend it to others!

Happy with Our Apartment

He have had a wonderful month here on Lido Key. We especially enjoyed sitting on our veranda and looking at the flowers and birds in the courtyard. Each afternoon we went down and sat by the beautiful pool before taking a swim. It was also fun to be able to walk to St. Armand's Circle for a coffee--like being in Europe! The folks at Sarasota Beach Vacations have been very helpful. They have always responded promptly to phone calls and e-mails whatever the issue--making the reservations, asking questions before arrival, or requesting service in the apartment. We look forward to returning next year.

Great apartment, unbeatable location

Location doesn't get any better than this! Directly behind St. Armand's Circle, just a five-minute walk to Lido Beach, and a two-mile walk over the causeway into downtown Sarasota, we spent two happy weeks here without a car, using an Uber when we wanted to go further. That said, there is a dedicated parking space as well. As to the apartment itself, although slightly dated (bathroom and kitchen cabinets are possibly original) the apartment was very clean, with new floors and appliances and plenty of storage space. Kitchen well-stocked with all needed to prepare meals, and we enjoyed many hours on the screened balcony. We would definitely stay again.

Pristine by the Sea

This property has been well maintained: fresh paint, new appliances, and well stocked kitchen. The pool and central courtyard are nice and inviting. Kingston Arms is located steps from the beautiful St. Armand's Circle with its many shops and restaurants. The beach is a 5-10 minute walk due west. The rooms are shiny clean as are the linens. Although I am here alone this trip, the apartment has sufficient space to comfortably sleep six. There is also an elevator to facilitate access to the second floor. I highly recommend this property for comfort and convenience.

Amazing Location

The location is steps away from St Armands and a short walk to Lido Beach. The condo was the perfect size for me and my husband. We dined out or ordered in, but the home is equipped had we desired to stay in and cook. Communication was great and check-in was simple.
