Upon arrival, spacious parking leads to a small gated, beautifully landscaped, private yard. We were welcomed with fresh flowers, chilled wine and fine cheese and a clean lovely home for our 5 day stay. This beach cottage is fully equipped with any dining, cleaning or comfort amenities. Linens were of best quality and quaint outdoor shower helps keep sand out of the house. The laundry room stores beach chairs and beach toys made available to us. This was my first visit to the Florida beaches and this "quiet" location topped them all. For swimmers who don't prefer open Gulf swimming, a lovely lap pool is located 2 minutes from the cottage and literally "on" the Lido Key beach. After learning Florida has the most diverse sands in the world, Lido Key white sugar sand was our favorite - just moist and granulated enough to easily brush off. Shopping can be dangerous in St. Armand's Circle, but it offers a great variety of all types of merchandise and dining - a 5 minute walk from the cottage. I look forward to returning to this exact location with my family very soon without even considering another place. Thank you, Jo, for sharing this little paradise. Our stay was more than I ever dreamed.
