Very nice unfortunately I was not able to stay the full time due to finance getting suddenly ill and not being able to fly in to meet me and I let owner know this in hopes I may have some refunded money in view of the fact that the property was barely used and therefore didn’t require much to clean for next renter ???? kind of disappointed in this …!

Spring getaway trip

Great location. Easy walk to the beautiful beach and very short walk to good restaurants and shopping. Lots of activities. We enjoyed the pool and hot tube too! The area was still recovering from the recent hurricanes, so I expect things will even get better. We would stay again.

Great location at St Armand Circle

This condo is located in one of the four quadrants of St. Armand Circle, putting it just steps away from shopping and restaurants. Despite the impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton in late 2024, many restaurants and shops have recovered and are open for business, which was a pleasant surprise.The condo itself is very spacious, featuring a bedroom and a large living room. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the AC and heating unit worked perfectly. We especially appreciated the heating during a cold spell during our stay. While the bathroom is quite small, I managed to find room for all my cosmetics without too much trouble.The owners warned us about the small parking space (btw free) but we had a Nissan Kicks and the space was more than appropriate. Additionally, the condo is within a short walking distance of the beach, which is absolutely beautiful and perfect for relaxation. Overall, this condo is a great choice for anyone looking to stay near St. Armand Circle and enjoy the local amenities and the stunning beach. We had a lovely time and would happily recommend it to others!

The place was fine, great location with easy access to dining, shopping and Lido Beach. I would recommend better drapery hardware and kitchen utensils. We would love to come back sometime.

Great location!

The location to St Armand Circle was perfect. We walked to the circle every morning for breakfast. Did a little shopping one day, enjoyed the Christmas festival in the evening. A short walk to the beach. Very nice place to stay!

Amazing Location

The location is steps away from St Armands and a short walk to Lido Beach. The condo was the perfect size for me and my husband. We dined out or ordered in, but the home is equipped had we desired to stay in and cook. Communication was great and check-in was simple.

Great apartment, unbeatable location

Location doesn't get any better than this! Directly behind St. Armand's Circle, just a five-minute walk to Lido Beach, and a two-mile walk over the causeway into downtown Sarasota, we spent two happy weeks here without a car, using an Uber when we wanted to go further. That said, there is a dedicated parking space as well. As to the apartment itself, although slightly dated (bathroom and kitchen cabinets are possibly original) the apartment was very clean, with new floors and appliances and plenty of storage space. Kitchen well-stocked with all needed to prepare meals, and we enjoyed many hours on the screened balcony. We would definitely stay again.
