🌴 Dream Island | Walk to Lido Beach, Heated Pool & Spa, Pet Friendly Coastal Home

💖 Why You'll Love This Home
Located on Lido Key, Dream Island offers a spacious coastal retreat just a short walk to both Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle. With an expansive outdoor living area and an eight-bedroom layout, this home is designed for group stays where gathering and downtime are equally easy. The outdoor space centers around a heated pool and spa with a cabana and conversation pit, two separate play areas including a rock climbing feature and a small playground, a sandbox, and a putt-putt course, plenty to keep every age group busy! A covered patio with an outdoor kitchen, dining area, and TV creates a natural extension of the home, while a separate sunken seating area offers an additional place to unwind. Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open layout provide plenty of room for group meals and shared time, with a large kitchen island and seating designed to accommodate everyone comfortably, plus an arcade game in the living room for when the energy moves indoors. The converted garage game room rounds out the entertainment options with even more ways to fill the evening hours.

👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect For
Large families and groups seeking a walkable Lido Key location with ample space, private bedrooms, and a strong indoor-outdoor living setup.

🎞️ Imagine This
Start your morning with a short walk or bike ride to Lido Key Beach, where the day begins with time on the sand and in the water. Grab coffee nearby or head back home to prepare breakfast in the kitchen while the rest of the group eases into the day. In the afternoon, return to the pool area, the kids migrate between the playset and the sandbox while the adults settle into the cabana conversation pit. The outdoor kitchen makes it easy to keep meals and drinks close, whether you're spending the day poolside or squeezing in a round of putt-putt before dinner. As evening sets in, walk over to St. Armands Circle for a meal out, or stay in and let the group take over the game room, challenge each other on the arcade game, or pull out one of the many board games for a late night around the table. End the night in the spa or unwind in one of the private bedroom suites before another day on Lido Key.

Amazing property!

We loved our stay! The pool and hot tub was wonderful, and used daily; and was our saving grace on 2 rainy days!The location was perfect. We had our little oasis at the property with 5 mins walks to the beach, “beach town” shopping, and food! 10-20min drives to restaurants, city center fun, and grocery stores.We also enjoyed our walks/jogs over the bridge and back to see the sunset and beautiful ocean sceneries… we even saw a manatee on one of our walks! (Approx 4 miles round trip)We had minor issues that was resolved super quick via text!Easy check out!

We stayed here recently and would very easily recommend this location to others. We were a large group with adults and children. Trevor the property manager was very helpful and always responded quickly to any questions. The pool and set up of the house was so convenient for large groups and it was only a 5 min walk to the beach. We will definitely be staying here again.

Absolutely stunning property and fantastic location!

We travel to this location with our entire family. Grandma, parents, teenagers, babies. The house is absolutely beautiful, and I love the layout that it is all on one floor. The pool was gorgeous and perfect temperature for the babies to even be swimming in it. One block away from all of the shopping and dining you could ever need, and three blocks from the ocean. Would highly recommend this to anyone!

Family Vacation

Our family of 18 had a fabulous week is St Armands. The house was fabulous and perfect for a large group. The bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy and comfortable. The kitchen table and pool were our favorite features. The table could easily seat 24 people and the pool as the nicest private pool we’ve ever seen. Trevor, the property manager was great. He responded and took care of any questions and issues immediately! We would highly recommend this house!

Perfect for our large group

We had the pleasure of staying here a week in September for our daughter's wedding. We had a large group of family and friends - 11 of us total. The youngest was 23 and the oldest was 79. The house was perfect! Everyone had their own room, own bathroom, and plenty of seating inside and out. Nice touches that went over and above were having 2 dishwashers, 2 sets of washers/dryers, plenty of pool towels, mirrors, tvs and luggage racks in every bedroom and the outdoor kitchen. The location was perfect! Within walking distance to St Armand's with all the shopping and restaurants and also the beach. Also a short 15 minute drive to the airport for pickups and drop offs. The pool was a favorite. We were able to have all the bridesmaids meet at the house the morning of the wedding and some of the bridal party stayed the afternoon of the rehearsal poolside with us. The property management was great! Easy check in and check out instructions and a member reached out to me a couple of times just to see if we needed anything. There were even some "Congratulations" cupcakes for the newlyweds waiting for us when we arrived. What a special touch! Thanks for making it a great trip

Very beautiful home. Quite a walk to the beach. We overpacked beach towels and chairs. House has plenty of these for a large crew. Downfall: living room furniture not enough seating and the outdoor grill smoked up the WHOLE house when used. Management is working on having the stack cleaned.

Best experience

The property was amazing. The pool kept the grandkids entertained 24/7. Our property manager was so helpful, you would have thought he was the owner. He answered emails and texts on weekends and later in the evening. The 2 dishwashers and 2 frigs and 2 washer/dryers were a blessing. There were plenty on towels, glasses, silverware, dishes etc so you did not run out of anything if you were waiting to turn on the dishwasher or laundry. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent manager, house and location, super clean!

Overall experience was awesome. The house is beautiful, so is the location! The manager was so responsive and the whole place was extremely clean! If I had to give any suggestion, I’d say to add additional indoor seating especially in family room so that larger groups (16 people) can sit together in the same room. Also, not sure where there would be room for this, but additional lounge chairs in the sun by the pool would be great. But the place is gorgeous, felt so clean the property manager was awesome! Would go back again for sure! 5 stars!

The house is as beautiful as the pictures.

The house was perfect for a group of HS senior girls and moms. Trevor was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. The pool area is amazing. I was worried would be smaller than it looked in pictures and in fact I would say it was bigger. The location is amazing...very short walk to the beach and literally around the corner from the shops and restaurants of St. Armands. The only downside was that there are many neighbors with signs opposing rental houses and our first full day at 7:40pm we had a call that police had been called about us playing music outside. We didn't feel we could use a speaker by the pool after that.
