Cozy 2Bd+2 Ba beach cottage; screened Florida rm, sleep porch; VR22-00059

Perfect, private retreat! Time slips into Beach time, where nature guides your days and evenings. Fully renovated post 2024 hurricanes. Ready to welcome you!

Sparkling Florida Beach Cottage combines top amenities with traditional charm. Located one driveway to the secluded beach path on the quiet north end of Lido Key. Relish your quiet beach, collect shells and sand dollars, watch pelicans and sea hawks dive for their meals...Away from the high rises, condos and cars - slip into wave-time. And when you're hungry or want to shop - walk to St Armand's Circle - only 5 minutes away!

We make it easy for you to bring only your swimsuit, flip flops and a coverup - you'll have all the amenities (chairs, umbrellas, wagon, beach towels) on the property waiting for you! Spend the evening watching the sunset on the beach and come back to your cottage and sit in comfy chairs in your private back yard to count the stars! Or grill out with our propane grill or cook just the right meal in our completely outfitted kitchen. Or hang out on the NEW Screened Florida Room out front and say hi to the neighbors.

We offer a King bedroom with an ensuite bath/shower, a Queen bedroom that shares the hall bath with the cottage and a separate sunroom that has a full-sized bed that can sleep 2.

We use high thread count linens, extra pillows for your comfort selection, Turkish Towels, Fully Stocked Kitchen with all New Bosch and GE Profile Appliances. We even have a private, high end washer/dryer (no key cards!)

Flamingo Cottage takes you back in time with charm and modern day comforts galore. The screened Florida Room welcomes you home with over 500 square feet of comfy, dry, bugless outdoor space! The main living area has comfy leather furniture and desk, a 65" smart TV (with DVD player), which is open to dining room and kitchen, plus a "smart" 42" TV in the King bedroom. The back patio is complete with 2 modern chaise lounges with side tables, a large table and chairs for 6, solar lighted large umbrella and a Weber BBQ grill (propane provided). After dinner, slip out the back door into the velvet night. Sit in the comfy chairs and sofas and tell a story or two while you find your favorite constellations.

You'll fall in love with this comfortable and playful private cottage! Doesn't get any better than this location. The Ultimate retreat to stay and return year after year!
