The location is excellent, but the rooms were adequate, at best. The unit was dark, supplies were sparse and the bath towels so worn that you were lucky to get dry after a shower. Frying pans were very worn out, there is no dishwasher and cleaning supplies were inadequate. Since there were no rugs, it was very noisy when chairs... More

If you are looking for a front desk or management, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a cozy room within walking distance to the beach and downtown Lido Key, you've found a great spot. I stayed in a small room by myself. I was a little skeptical when arriving but you can't beat the location... More

My wife and I stayed for three (3) nights at 4B room with the suite. The Kitchen's stove oven is not working for the bake before we already bought the grocery. The Kitchen's pans are dirty. Complained to call Dan (owner) about not working the WiFi (internet). He said he will come, right now but never. Next day, He said... More

Thank you for sharing you observations and comments. During your stay, it appears that we had some communication problems since you were using a voice relay system. Regarding the oven, you informed the property manager the last night of your 3 day stay. We sent someone to look at the stove, once we saw that the burner could not be... More

First of all, I cannot imagine what people want from a beach rental if they gave this place a poor review. Its a beach rental, not a hotel with a front desk. Contact the owners with an e-mail or phone call before you go. We just stayed there this past weekend for 3 nights and were extremely satisfied. We had... More

The rooms are exactly as photo'd, the location and price get be beat, but don't expect much from the management. They've proven themselves to unprofessional. I did not like that it took 3 days for Daniel to get back with us about a simple request of getting the WiFi code. They place it on the sheet of paper they ask... More

I cant compain about the room, it was tastefully decorated and clean for the most part. (the floor looked like it had not ben moped in a while since I had white socks on and after walking from the room to the kitchen a few times noticed they were no longer white.) We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with... More

We stayed in a guest room upstairs (4A). The location is great. The area is very nice. The room is tiny, but cute. However, two people litterally run into each other. The bed is comfortable, but makes loud noises, either the mattress or box spring need to be replaced. There is a mention of a pool, but it wasn't mentioned... More

It wasn't easy to find budget hotels in Sarasota region, especially not near the beach. This is one of them though. The location is suberb in an upscale residential area with walking distance to the beach and the shopping and restaurant area St Armand's Circle. The property itself is a little old, but charming. I stayed in the smallest and... More

You may have noticed a common theme in the negative reviews about this place. Everyone who tries to cancel their reservation or is unhappy with their accommodations is charged for the full amount of their stay. The same thing happened to my wife and I when we arrived, found the accommodations completely unacceptable and decided to seek accommodations elsewhere. We're... More
