Charming Beach Cottage on Lido Beach....walk to the beach and St Armand's Circle

Slow down enjoy this Cozy Beach Cottage steps from Lido Beach and St Armand's Circle.

This comfortably decorated home has just been updated with new linens, cookware, 55' Smart Bluetooth TV, BBQ grill and more. The backyard has a fun tiki bar, outdoor dining set, fire ring, hammock and is fenced for dogs.

Beach towels, rolling cooler and chairs are provided for a day at the beach accessed by the adjacent path. Someone said " it takes less time to walk from the house to the sand than it does to walk from the beginning of the sand to the water"
Yep....you are that close!
The beach access is next to the side yard. Walk out....turn left....cross the street and you are on the sand :)
Cruiser bikes are provided for touring around Lido key!!

Both the living room and family room are great for conversation and the dining table comfortably seats 6.

This home is 3 bedrooms / 2 baths
The master bedroom has a luxurious Beauty-Rest Black Series king bed while the second bedroom is a queen. Both share the Jack and Jill bath.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. A laundry room / office space completes the home.

The 3rd bedroom is wonderfully private with bath, queen bed, sitting area including a couch, chair and TV. There is also an office with a work space desk, counter top with coffee station, bar sink and mini fridge. The suite can be accessed either through the main home off the living room or through an exterior door..
It perfect for family, guests or friends that need a little extra space and privacy.
Our family loves the setup!!

The back yard of the suite is under the shade of a large tree and has an outdoor shower, and table & chairs for morning coffee or afternoon wine :)

Parking for up to 3 cars in tandem is available on the left side of the driveway.

The beach access is adjacent to the side yard. Walk out....turn left....cross the street and you are on the sand :)

Pets are allowed with owner approval. Dogs only...unfortunately no cats.

If an entire week is not in your vacation schedule please email me.......I can accommodate nights needed then block the calendar for a total of 7 nights to comply with Lido Beach rules!

There is a completely independent unit upstairs that is also on VRBO #2389948. It would be a perfect addition rented together with the cottage for a larger family that needs 4 bedrooms and a little extra room.

Retro chic home, comfortable, loaded with supplies needed for a pleasant stay. Within short walking distance to beach and St. Armand's Circle. While kitchen appliances were up to date, the kitchen "bones" could use some updating. Owner and her husband were only a phone call away for info.

Thank you for listing your property on VRBO. The house was great - more than expected in terms of amenities, beach gear and location. A great place for short walks, but easy to get in and out of downtown as well. We had a wonderful visit to Lido Beach and the surrounding areas.

We had an amazing time staying at this property! The home was impeccably clean and the host was incredibly thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We’d love to return in the future!

We stayed at Lisa's Beach Cottage for a nice long weekend last weekend and it was great! The house was great and stocked with everything we needed. Lisa is a great communicator....starting with booking, while we were there and on our departure. The location was perfect....we walked to the beach and to dinner each night and love the fenced-in backyard and firepit for evening cocktails. Will definitely return!! Thank you, Lisa!

Comfortable stay on Lido Key

Great location on Lido Key with the public beach access right next to the property. The Charming Cottage was well stocked and comfortable. This is a quiet neighborhood making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We are very happy that we were able to bring our dog because she always travels with us. We would book this cottage again, because Sarasota's Lido Key is a great destination to get away to.

Sun and Fun

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Elise’s cottage on Lido Key. She was really easy to work with and communicated well with us. The house is really fun and had plenty of room to spread out. The back yard living area was really fun as well. The location was an easy walk to the beach and restaurants/shopping. Would definitely recommend.
