About this home
Annual rental - 12 month lease furnished. 9th floor Lido Beach condo offers outstanding south west facing views of the Gulf of Mexico, Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle. Your private beach get-away! A private 40 ft. balcony takes you outdoors along the length of the unit. The primary bedroom with a King sized bed offers direct gulf front views to the west and north. The guest bedroom has twin full size beds. The living room sofa converts to a queen sleeper bed. The dining and living room are equipped with slider doors to the expansive balcony providing lots of natural light. The kitchen has new appliances and tile flooring throughout. There is no laundry system in the unit, but it is just down the hallway to 2 shared washer/dryers. One covered carport comes with the rental. This treasured building is a landmark on Lido Key, across from Lido Beach, and one block from St Armands Circle where you can take part in shopping and dining. Come to Lido Beach to stroll the sugary white sands, bike or kayak among the mangroves in South Lido Park.
