About This Home

BEACHFRONT ANNUAL RENTAL — LIDO BEACH, SARASOTA, FLORIDA-- OR NEGOTIATE SEASONAL TURNKEY!!
Step into a life where mornings begin with the sound of waves and evenings end with pastel sunsets over the Gulf. This newly reimagined one-story villa offers a rare chance to live in quiet luxury on one of Sarasota’s most coveted beaches. 1200 square feet of living - under air- or make the Florida room a separated screened in sanctuary. From the moment you arrive, ease takes over—simply pull into your covered, attached parking, walk inside, and feel the calm settle in. The villa has been rebuilt with intention: new plumbing, new electrical, new A/C and water heater, and a chef-inspired kitchen crafted for casual breakfasts or intimate dinner parties. Every finish—every detail—has been chosen to elevate your everyday. Situated with a beautiful resort heated pool, right in front of the private beach access. The open living spaces flow seamlessly, framed by coastal light that reminds you always of the sea just beyond your door. New flooring adds warmth underfoot, while a brand-new laundry and modern systems ensure effortless living. Outside, the beach becomes your backyard. Wander along the shoreline in the morning, recharge beside the water mid-day, or take a sunset stroll before dinner. When you crave energy and elegance, St. Armands Circle awaits only a short walk away—where boutique shopping, dining al fresco, and evening conversation melt into the night. And just beyond, downtown Sarasota offers galleries, theater, and culture at every turn.
This is a home designed for those who desire serenity and every modern convenience and beach side "lavishness"—the rare blend of brand-new luxury and effortless coastal living.
Available NOW. A lifestyle. A feeling. A slice of paradise waiting for you. Fly-through video available upon request.
