Wonderful

We had an amazing stay again this year. We stayed for two weeks this time and the time just flew by everything in the house was beautiful. Everything we needed was there couldn’t ask for a better place to stay really close to the beach just one block away and also had a swimming pool next to the Lido Beach Pavilion, that was accessible Communication with the owners was fantastic. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

A First Class Experience

LaVeda was the perfect host, could not have asked for anything more. The house was clean, well-stocked and perfectly located within walking distance of the beach and St Armands Circle. I will definitely be back for future visits and will rent this house again and you should too! You will not be disappointed.

What a wonderful retreat

The home that our family got to share was wonderful. It was exactly as described on the VRBO page. The homeowner was always gracious and very quick to respond to my questions. It was the best vacation that we have ever had and cannot wait to go back again next year. The location was terrific, and it became our home away from home. Having coffee early in the morning on the front deck was especially memorable. Thank you so very much for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful

The entire house was spotless and very well stocked with anything we needed. Beautifully decorated and beds were dreamy. Short walk to beach or we could drive and park at the pool area and enjoy both beach and pool along with snack bar 😀 Can’t wait to return depending on moms health. She wants to stay longer next visit.

Perfect Everything!

We were in Sarasota for a Sprint Canoe competition at Nathan Benderson Park but wanted to be close to the beach. This was the perfect location. We had every amenity at our fingertips along with the comfort of a spacious beach house to accommodate my teen son and I. The hosts are amazingly wonderful and responsive. I hope to visit again soon!

Perfect Beach Getaway

Our family greatly enjoyed our week stay at this cozy property! The location can’t be beat!! Easy walk to the beach and the property had all amenities of beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys etc. St. Armand’s Circle was close by with restaurants, shopping, live music and my teenager loved hanging out at the Arcade! Home was very clean & well stocked with everything you need. LaVeda was excellent to communicate with me. Thank You for a great stay and we can’t wait to come back!

Lido Beach Stay

My family thoroughly enjoyed this home as it’s location was perfect. The beach was a very short walk and our teenagers enjoyed the morning walks to the circle for their coffee drinks. The home had ample living space and the front porch was perfect to relax on. The beds were comfortable and the blinds darkened the rooms at night. The home was well stocked, including beach supplies.
