About this home
Located directly across from Lido Beach, this fully furnished 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo in the Lido Dorset building offers the perfect beach getaway. THIS COMMUNITY HAD NO FLOODING DURING PREVIOUS STORMS. Just steps from the sand, the condo features an open living area with a kitchen island, coastal-style finishes, and a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed. The unit also includes a sleeper sofa, comfortably accommodating up to four guests, and has two convenient entrances along with an assigned parking spot. Enjoy the community pool and lounge area, complete with umbrellas and chairs, or take a short walk to the Lido Pavilion, which offers a large pool with lifeguards and dining area next to the Gulf of Mexico. Lido Dorset is ideally located just a short walk to St. Armands Circle, home to an array of shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, and nightlife. Sarasota's vibrant downtown is only a quick drive across the Ringling Bridge, or you can take the free Bay Runner Shuttle, which picks up directly across the street at the Lido Pavilion. Lido Beach Resort is conveniently close by, with award winning food and drink services. Weekly rentals are allowed, making this condo an excellent investment opportunity, whether you choose to use it as your vacation home or let the on-site management company handle rentals. With its prime location, stylish finishes, and close proximity to both the beach and local attractions, this unit is perfect for guests to relax, explore Sarasota, and enjoy all that the area has to offer.
