Nice stay on Lido Key
Clean and comfortable stay. Very nice big kitchen with everything you need. Nice roomy bathrooms. Bed in master bedroom was quite firm. Had an issue with Wifi that iTrip was quick to address. Short walk to both the beach and St. Armands circle.
Great location- short walk to beach with everything we needed to enjoy the beach. Spotless! Great communication and contact with host. Had some issues with hot water in shower. We each got cold showers a couple of times Also wouldve love more paper products

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.
Positives:
Close to the beach
Comfortable
Updated
Small outdoor space
Garage access
5 min from the circle
Quiet neighborhood
Negatives:
No advance communication with property manager who apparently went into our side of the property
The bikes did not work because they were rusted and had flat tires

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.
The property is as you can see in the announcement, just like the pictures. The check in process is super simple.
The neighborhood is gorgeous and calm.
We had some issues with the wifi and we received immediate response and solution.
Everything lovely. 100% recommended. We will definitely repeat
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.
Property was perfect for our family. Pictures were accurate yet somehow the condo seemed nicer when we checked in! Communication was great with the host. We will definitely book again
Amazing layout for our 3 person family. We were able to host family and friends for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners. Great neighborhood and super convenient walk to Lido Beach.

Great vacation rental.
Great place close to the beach and St. Armand’s. Nice rooms and will come back again.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Rooms are big and comfortable and just a 5 minute walk to the beach and to St. Armands Circle. Looking forward to future stays.

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.
