This was our first time staying at this condo and at Lido Beach - it was a fantastic week. The condo was perfect for the two of us - well-equipped, cozy, full kitchen, great bed, a small outdoor sitting area to soak up sun, and beach chairs to take to gorgeous Lido Beach, only a block away. The beach front itself is occupied by upscale resorts and high-rise apartments, but the beach wasn't crowded - beautiful wide white sand leading to calm gulf waters, with beautiful sunsets. The whole area was peaceful and prosperous - all of Lido Key, St. Armand's Key (where you come onto these Sarasota keys from the mainland), and Longboat Key to the north. Famous St. Armand's Circle is less than 1/2 mile from the condo, with busy shops and top-notch restaurants - an easy walk. We rented bikes there to ride the lovely neighborhood. 3 blocks south from the condo is Ted Sperling Nature Park, an impressive natural area of palm, Sea Grape, and mangrove with its own beach and kayaks for rent to paddle amazing channels through the mangrove and see herons, egrets, pelicans, and jumping fish. While most of the restaurants are in St. Armand's, the Lido Beach Resort (just a block from the condo) had an outstanding restaurant - "Drift" - and a coffee and breakfast bar off the lobby. A block away there's a public pavilion with sandwiches, a bar, a pool (closed in winter) and direct access to the beach. We had a such a great time, we didn't go back to the mainland all week. Recommended.

Wonderful location just a short walk to the public beach and public, heated pool. Also right down the street from the trolley pickup which made it super convenient to visit without a car. The public park one stop south on the trolley was wonderful for watching the sunset or sunrise and for shell searching. The condo was perfectly stocked with essential and having a wagon and beach chairs was amazingly convenient and made our stay even better. The condo is clean and spacious and just all around lovey. I cannot wait to come back in the future - I would pick Lido Key over Siesta Key any day!

Enjoyed walking to Sarasota in the morning across the two bridges. Good dinning in downtown Sarasota.The home was clean and had needed items. Would stay again.

Chasing Sunshine was absolutely, without a doubt, a wonderful stay. I highly recommend Sue as a host. Check-in was easy. She provided helpful information about the property ahead of time. The parking lot could be a little tricky if you're in a larger car, but luckily you're a short walk from the beach and St. Armands circle, plus you're on vacation so who really needs to drive?? Wi-fi was good enough for sone online honework, streaming shows on those hot hot days, and some streamed gaming.Decorationswere cute and beachy. Plenty of cookware and updated appliances to make easy or fancy meals. 10/10 would stay again. Can't wait to go back.

Weekend visit to Sarasota

I booked this condo for my husband because he was visiting our daughter for the weekend. Perfect location to enjoy a morning swim, fine dining and sunset beach walks. Easy access to downtown Sarasota. He raved about the cleanliness, decor and layout of the condo. I know this is a place we will return for future visits!! He enjoyed exploring Lido and Longboat Key! Sue was very responsive to questions and instructions were clear and timely. J. Ellis
