Nicely updated beach condo. It was a short walk to shops, restaurants, and beautiful Lido beach. We had easy check in & out. Our family had a great vacation staying here.
Nice, comfortable and cute condo that we rented for a week. Great location with restaurants, shops and the beach within walking distance. Quiet neighborhood. All the comforts of home.
Property very clean. The unit is nicely decorated and updated. The location is conveniently located within a short walking distance to the beach and just a few steps from St Armand’s Circle for dining, shopping and entertainment.
The apartment is completely refurbished to a high standard after last year's hurricanes, with new furniture and appliances. - it was perfect for our needs. The folks at iTrip were very professional and friendly. You couldn't beat the location at St Armand's Circle. The Lido Key area still has a lot of demolition and construction in progress and some shops and restaurants are still closed, but recovery is well advanced

Armand Circle Stay
This property was a great backdrop for “Girls Getaway” being close to the beach, shopping, and excellent restaurants. It was cute and pretty clean but could use a few updates. Rental price was a little high and non-refundable security deposit was disappointing. We had some struggles during the week…lack of hot water for showers first night, broken toaster, security light that wasn’t working near doorway, and new pass key that wouldn’t work properly but, overall, it was a good week.
As advertised-great location, 5 minute walk to beach, seconds from Armand's Circle and well appropiated but there is no desk.

Awesome stay
We were scheduled to stay at a time share but due to not being open yet, we had to find something at the last minute. I found Kingston Arms at the last minute. It was wonderful. Location is exactly what we were looking for. The unit itself was beautiful. We could not have asked for anything more perfect. The staff was so great to work with. As we had to extend our stay twice. we will definitly be staying here again!
