Lido/St. Armands, Sarasota-Walk to Beach & St. Armands, Private cottage w/grill!

Important Notice: Sarasota was recently affected by two hurricanes. While many areas are recovering rapidly, some aspects may not be as expected. Rest assured, numerous shops and restaurants are open and welcoming guests. ———
Lido Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches, not only in Florida, but in the United States. The beach has soft, silky white sand. The world famous sunsets off the shores of Lido Beach draw not only our visitors but local residents as well ... all there to soak in one of nature's most spectacular performances!! The view is so surreal that it’s not uncommon to see people clap their hands in the joy they receive from this experience. All of this is just a short stroll from the cottage which has incredible internet, with 457 mbps download and 28 mbps upload. There is also a brand five burner gas grill with cooktop outside!

This beautifully renovated beach cottage, nestled on a little piece of paradise, is just a stones throw from Lido Beach. A fresh & friendly place to relax, unwind and enjoy your private, lush surroundings.

Public beach or public pool access to the left and down Grant Street, one block away – the pool price is $2/seniors/youth; $4 for everyone else. Walk just a few steps from the pool to swim in the ocean if you are so inclined. There's a snack bar, a small store with ice cream, and picnic tables, outdoor showers, bathrooms and live music at times!

This charming cottage has new, professionally installed hardwood flooring, crown moldings, and ceiling fans. The cooking area has been outfitted with brand cherry cabinets and topped with an exotic piece of granite.
A GE convection microwave and induction cooktop allow you to prepare meals. Your own huge grill with an extra cooktop for boiling corn, etc. In addition to the coffee maker (Keurig and full-pot brew) and toaster and toaster oven, there is also an outside propane barbecue for your use. All living room furniture has been recently purchased including the flat screen LCD Smart television. Cable TV/ HBO and wireless internet are available for your enjoyment at no charge.

The Queen sized bed, with its comfortable mattress and quality pillows will afford you a peaceful nights sleep, leaving you refreshed and ready for a great day. The bathroom, with decorator porcelain tiles throughout has been outfitted with Kohler fixtures, a vessel sink and Tommy Bahama style cabinets. A forceful shower with seemingly endless supplies of hot water will support one shower after another. Bath towels and bed linens are provided for your use.

Your front deck, fully fenced and private, is a great place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee with a newspaper or an evening beverage with good company and personal conversation. Our home is smoke free, please refrain from smoking inside the unit.

The Studio accommodates 2 guests and features a comfortable queen bed, private bath, large, flat screen TV & internet access, and small kitchenette (does not have oven/stove/freezer). The studio has its own private exterior entrance.

It was all we hoped for
Everything was exactly as described. Very comfortable for two people. St. Armand’s Circle was delightful. Went to the Saturday morning Farmers Market in downtown via the trolley. Of course, being so close to the beach just sealed the deal. A great place to stay for 2 people.

Beach cottage
The beach cottage is very nice but the pictures on the web site show a pool, but when you receive your information email it said the pool is for the house. There is no mention of house with the cottage with grill, so why is there a picture of it. the rest of the pictures are correct. Easy to get to St, Armands circle.

Highly recommend this cottage,
Amazing experience! Perfect for two people! The mattress was incredibly comfortable, with pillows that were just right, making for great nights of sleep. The entire place was impeccably clean and inviting, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The hosts were exceptional—super nice and always responsive. Whenever we needed local advice, they were quick to help and provided lots of useful information ahead of our stay. Their hospitality truly enhanced our trip. We had an issue with losing power for a couple hours, that was the only reason for our four-star review. Hosts responded quickly. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended this cottage!

Love Lido Key
The property itself is extremely nice! Very small, exactly as described. Outdoor space was exceptional with privacy, lounge chairs, a grill and everything you need for a day at the beach. However, nothing beats a great night of sleep and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Lumpy with a bar in the center to where you actually are going to roll off, uncomfortable for one person, never mind 2. All pillows need to be replaced, bed pillows and couch pillows. There was also a huge stain on the couch and no mugs for coffee, luckily we brought our own.

A Perfect Vacation Property
My wife and I absolutely loved this property. Perfect location a block from the beach, easy walk to St. Armand's Circle, clean and quiet, made the best use of its space. Host also provided some beach accessories, which was very much appreciated. Communication with host and check-in process were perfect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely Getaway
We were so pleased with this great little bungalow. We walked to the beach and St. Armands with ease. The weather was not cooperative while we were there but we made the best of it. We were in the bungalow more than we anticipated due to weather and other unforseen circumstances and found it extremely comfortable. This is a great for a couple. The outdoor area was great for the short time we could enjoy it due to the weather. We would have spent more time there if we could. Thanks for a providing a great getaway!

If you are looking for a nice relaxing couples vacation this is the place for you. We spent our 50 wedding anniversary here. Upon arrival there was a bottle of wine waiting for us. Everything you need is within walking distance, from restaurants to shopping and the beach! Loved it! Would definitely stay again!

Everything said about this place is on point :-)
Fantastic place to stay, walk to beach and St.Armandes Circle are short walks. The bed and pillows are awesome, we slept great!! We did have problems getting hot water the first day, it was fixed right away. The shower facet needs to be replaced or fixed, difficult to get adjusted. Very private area! Yes I would recommend!

My wife and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary during our stay here. We had a wonderful experience! The cottage has everything a couple would need and the location is not even a block from the beach. We really appreciated how quiet the area was as we got some much needed rest during this time off. We wish we could have stayed longer but for next time my wife and I know where to stay. Thank you Sandy!
