Great place to stay with the family on Lido Key. Great communication with host. Walkable to the beach, multiple restaurants and kayaking. We only used the car once for a day at Busch Gardens. Would highly recommend. I would check with the hosts for a firm count on bikes, beach chairs, beach carts and coolers. We came prepared, and with the items provided, we had plenty of everything but if you were flying in, it’s a good idea to verify. The pool was beautiful, beds comfortable, refrigerator huge with ice maker and everything was very clean. We’ve stayed on Anna Maria Island many times and the Lido Key traffic seems to be much less. This is a fantastic property and I’m glad we chose it.

We’re so glad Beach Side Babe was such a great fit for your family, Mark. It really is a special spot from easy walks to the beach, dining, and even a little adventure on the water makes for those effortless island days. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the pool, comfortable beds, and all that space to relax. And we appreciate you sharing that helpful tip about confirming beach gear — we’re always happy to provide those details ahead of arrival to keep things smooth, especially for guests flying in. We love that you noticed the more laid-back pace of Lido Key too, it’s part of what makes it such a peaceful retreat. Thanks again for choosing us and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Spacious home with a lovely poolside area to lounge. Loved how easy it was to walk to the beach, into St Armands Circle and South Lido Key Beach Park! The free trolley into downtown Sarasota was a big plus too. Comfy couches & full kitchen, beautiful master shower & plenty of linens in the house. Very responsive & helpful host.
Pam - Posted: 2/10/2026
Thank you for such a thoughtful review of Beach Side Babe, Pam! We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout and that poolside lounge area—it’s one of our favorite spots to unwind. Being able to stroll to the beach, explore St. Armands, and hop on the trolley into downtown Sarasota really does make it effortless. We’re thrilled the comforts of home and our Siesta Key Luxury Rental Properties team’s responsiveness added to your stay. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxed, private pool escape on the island!

So glad you enjoyed the easy beach access and the pool, Jane. Those are two of our favorite things about Beach Side Babe by Lido Key Vacations. Being tucked away near St. Armands while still feeling calm and unrushed makes it a special little retreat. We’d love to welcome you back for another peaceful stay by the shore.

All of my comments are about LKV. One of the best rental companies I have dealt with and this includes 3 short term rentals I have owned. The house was great, convenient and exactly as described. They could not have been more helpful. Would definitely use them again. They even brought us a Roku stick so we could find all our shows just like at home. Highly recommended.

We’re thrilled to hear the home met your expectations and that our staff was able to help make your stay feel comfortable and easy, including getting you set up with your shows. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another stay anytime!!

Nearly the perfect place to stay in lido leys. Very quiet and peaceful location. The house had everything you would possibly need. The pool was amazing. Made an extremely short drive over to the beach once and loved it however, the family preferred to remain at the house and swim in the pool all day long. The living room and separate den was perfect for us adults to enjoy movies while the children watched their shows. The door alarm leading to the pool was a bit annoying especially when the sensor would randomly unstick from the door frame at 3am and one had to go out and stick it back up but did appreciate the extra feature to keep the kids safe from sneaking into the pool area. Highly recommend and will most definitely return in the future.

Charming home close to everything
We had a great visit to the Sarasota beaches and stayed at this beautiful home for 10 days. We are a family of 4. The house was perfect size for us and we enjoyed having the extra space and a kitchen, comfortable laundry room. The pool is nice size and very quiet. The favorite spot was the deck in the front of the house. The house needs some upgrades and is a little outdated, the kitchen will benefit from the addition to food disposal to make it easy to wash dishes and the window shades should be fixed or replaced. The rooms are nice and quiet and the air conditioner worked very well during the month of August. We walk to the restaurants nearby and visited all beaches. We also enjoy downtown, just 20 minutes away. The agency was very good responding to our questions and issues, most people we spoke to were pleasant and friendly.

We appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the need for some updates and improvements.

We enjoyed this property. Great location and very clean. Because it’s been added on to over time, there are a few quirks: Window unit ac in one bedroom ( doesn’t cool really well) and a shower in a deep claw foot tub which isn’t easy to access. Kitchen is well equipped and the pool was great.

This home was everything we wanted for our family getaway with adult kids.
Very cute, renovated ranch. The beach decode is welcoming and nice.
Beds are comfortable and bathrooms large and nicely finished.
The kitchen has everything you may need for cooking, drink making and entertaining.
We loved having a private, heated pool just outside the side door. Very well kept. The pool guy came out a couple of times to make sure the heater was working properly.
This house is just a couple of blocks from the beach and the public pool as well as St. Armand’s Circle. We very rarely drive our car since we were able to walk to the beach, to coffee shops and restaurants.
Wonderful!
