2086500 - Sunshine on Lido (New Listing)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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.

Apartment is well appointed and nicely located near the beach and St Armand’s. Had everything we needed. My only suggestion would be to update the beach equipment. Was grateful it was there but it’s getting a little tired.

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.

We absolutely loved the condo and location. The condo is adorable, clean, as pictured and has everything you need. It’s homey, comfortable and quaint. We enjoyed walking to St Armand’s, Lido Beach is literally one block behind the condo, you can hear the ocean. We also drove to Ana Maria Island, Long Boat Key and Siesta Key! I would definitely stay here again without question…. 10/10. Very responsive host and she checked in mid-week to make sure we were doing ok.

Absolutely wonderful loved every moment spending time in this lovely condo. Everything you need is here. Lido Key Beach 3 min walk absolutely gorgeous. Saint Armands circle 5 min walk plenty of shopping and FOOD ! And there’s far too much to explore in the area. We need to come back! During our stay Janice looked after us as if we were a family member. Huge thank you and loads of love. We would love to return to this fabulous holiday home.

My wife and I enjoyed staying at Jan's place. The apartment is very cozy, spacious and extremely clean. The attention to detail is spectacular. The location is perfect from the beach and St. Armands shops and restaurants. The covered parking is a plus and it is a very quiet complex.
