Walk to Lido Beach & St Armands | Bonus Rec Suite!

  • Summary:

    Welcome to your Lido Key Coastal Retreat!



    The Space:

    Discover the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience in the heart of Lido Key. This bright, elevated 2-bedroom duplex offers the ultimate Florida location: just a 6-minute stroll (0.3 mi) to the sand and sunsets of Lido Beach and a 7-minute walk (0.4 mi) to the world-class dining and shopping of St. Armand’s Circle.





    LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS



    - Beach & Pool: Steps from Lido Beach and the Lido Pool Pavilion, featuring a heated public lap pool and beachside concessions.



    - St. Armand’s Circle: Walk to over 130 boutiques, galleries, and award-winning restaurants.



    - Sarasota Culture: A short drive to the Ringling Museum, Opera House, and downtown arts district.





    THE LOWER-LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE



    Our brand-new ground-floor lounge is a versatile bonus living space shared with only the neighboring unit. Whether you’re a family looking for a "fun zone" or an adult group seeking extra room to spread out, this suite offers:



    - Dual 65" Smart TVs: Perfect for watching the news while the kids stream a movie, or for "game day" viewing.



    - Social Play: A Ping-Pong table and Cornhole / Bean Bag Toss for lighthearted competition.



    - Relaxed Atmosphere: Comfortable seating and a bar cart - ideal for card games or an evening cocktail after a day at the Circle.





    PRIVATE GARDEN SIDE-YARD



    - Escape to your own private, lushly landscaped side yard. This tropical sanctuary is exclusive to your unit and features a BBQ grill and dining area, offering a more residential feel than a standard condo balcony.

2nd Time There

This was our second time staying in this duplex and we loved it! This is a large, well maintained property that made us feel right at home. It's an easy walk to the beach and St. Armand's Circle. The management company is great and was very responsive to any questions that we had. We're hoping to return again next year.

Happy wife, happy life

This is the third time my wife and I have reserved the same condo near Armand's Circle, near Lido Beach. Everything has always gone well and we are very happy with iTrip Vacations Siesta Key and the facilities they manage. My wife loves the cleanliness of the condo and it's location close to Armand's Circle and the beach. The condo is well equipped.

It was OK

Close to beach and Armada cir. The unit was well equipped. The AC was not working and was replaced on our 4th day. The workman were in the unit a full day. No attempt was made to compensate us for the inconvenience.The WI-FI constantly went out. The walls are so thin you can hear a normal conversation. A family with kids moved in at the end of our stay so I was happy to leave.

Great Vacation Spot

What a great place to stay. This was our third time and we're still lovin' it! It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to St. Armands Circle. Very spacious and well maintained. And did I say that the property management team is top notch? Very responsive and courteous. The date range makes it look like we were only there a short time. Quite the contrary - we were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to extend it by a few days. We'll be back next year, of course.
