Perfect location between Lido beach and St Armand’s Circle.
Loved the pool and hot tub. Rented a corn hole game and played that by the pool. Cooked breakfasts and a few dinners at the house and there were plenty of pots & pans and utensils. Nice big laundry room. Short walk to the beach which was lovely. St Armand’s Circle was a short walk as well. Lots of cute shops and great restaurants.

Our family visited this locacation the first week of August, unfortunately the week of Debbie's hurricane, the wind and rain brought inside the house munch unwanted rain through the walls, branches all the house and the pool, called Trey, the property manager to see if hen send someone to help with clean-up of the outside and the pool since we couldn't exess the beach due to flod but he chose to ignore and not answer our calls, only the last day before checkingout he called to apologize for not getting back to use sooner because he was sick ,we couldn't use the pool for whole week due to being dirty, debries ,and filth. Please stay away from this property managment , spend your hard earn money somewhere else. dutomanager

My family loved this location. The walk to the beach was a pleasure, as was the unspoiled beach. It was like being back in the Florida of old.
Add the walk the walk to St Armand's circus and the stay was made complete.

Great Location but...
Close to the beach and shops. House is nice size but the furnishings are a bit tired looking. Showers need upgrades. TVs weren't working in the bedrooms when we arrived and we called and left a message but it took 2 days before someone came out to fix. We arrived on Friday and it was Monday before they were fixed. The outside light by the grill doesn't work. Kitchen is nice. Pool area is great.
They really should have a checklist to make sure all is in working order for the next guests.

Perfect location
This home is beautifully maintained and fully equipped with anything you could possibly want. We arrived early and needed to drop off luggage. The caretaker was super friendly and helpful and made things so much easier for us so we could pick up others at the airport. The walking distance to St Armand’s Circle and Bayrunner stop was so quick, we rarely used our car. As a frequent VRBO guest, I appreciated the little things, such as trash bags and laundry detergent. Pool and hot tub both were in perfect condition.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was lovely and well maintained. We had trouble with getting the TVs figured out but once we got them going no problem. The ice maker wasn’t making ice so we froze water bottles for our cooler. Still we had a great time, the beach, walking uptown and the pool! We recommend this home to anyone

Beautiful home within short walking distance to private beach access. Also very convenient to its proximity to St Armand's circle. The owner supplied bikes and beach accessories as well. The home was super clean and just like the listing. Plenty of room for the six of us to "spears out" for a 10 day stay. Trey was super responsive and quick to respond to our needs during our stay. (Missing garage remote) The pool and hot tub were very nice for those warm late afternoon and evening swims. The grill was ready to go and had another tank of gas on standby if needed. Would certainly stay there again!

A short walk to the beach entrance (under a minute), and a decent hike to the beach itself via trail (5 minutes lugging gear)…a short walk (5mins) to the circle. Best of both worlds!

The best location
We loved being so close to the ocean and walking the beach trails. The pool and hot tub were used daily. TVs we’re large and in each room. The kitchen and laundry room were lovely. The house was well supplied for all we needed. The pool area has natural shade throughout the day but really needs an umbrella or two. The upstairs bedroom needs some additional furniture like a dresser for storage. The lower rooms were lovely. Any minor issues were addressed quickly by management. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Location
We really enjoyed the location of this property. The pool was well cared for and very enjoyable. If we had to make a suggestion just to help future guests, maybe have more kitchen items and sharper knives? I struggled to serve dinner without a platter, large salad bowl, no storage containers for leftovers, etc. I'm all about a well stocked kitchen! The Keurig was great though so other positive things made up for what was not there..
