Sarasota condo rental. Perfect
The apartment is completely refurbished to a high standard after last year's hurricanes, with new furniture and appliances. - it was perfect for our needs. The folks at iTrip were very professional and friendly. You couldn't beat the location at St Armand's Circle. The Lido Key area still has a lot of demolition and construction in progress and some shops and restaurants are still closed, but recovery is well advanced

Armand Circle Stay
This property was a great backdrop for “Girls Getaway” being close to the beach, shopping, and excellent restaurants. It was cute and pretty clean but could use a few updates. Rental price was a little high and non-refundable security deposit was disappointing. We had some struggles during the week…lack of hot water for showers first night, broken toaster, security light that wasn’t working near doorway, and new pass key that wouldn’t work properly but, overall, it was a good week.
