Past renters are already asking when they can come back—and that says a lot about this Lido Key residence. The seller has intentionally kept Unit #201 off the rental market while offering it for sale, giving the next owner the opportunity to decide how they want to enjoy it: as a beach retreat, full-time residence or property with established rental appeal. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath corner residence offers approximately 1,293 square feet plus a generous wraparound balcony that extends the living space outdoors. The updated kitchen, completed in 2023, creates a fresh, inviting heart of the home, while the corner location brings in additional natural light and provides plenty of room for owners and guests to settle in comfortably. Lido Towers offers the flexibility many Lido Key buyers are looking for. Monthly rentals are permitted, pets are welcome within association guidelines, and residents enjoy deeded beach access just across the street. The monthly association fee includes cable TV, internet, water, exterior and grounds maintenance, pest control, pool maintenance, community pool, management, reserves and other common expenses. The building also offers shared laundry and additional storage. The location completes the package. Enjoy easy access to Lido Beach, nearby St. Armands Circle and everything that makes the Lido Key lifestyle so appealing. With repeat renters who have enjoyed returning to this particular residence and future rentals currently left open for the new owner, #201 offers something increasingly valuable: a Lido Key home with flexibility, a track record of rental interest and the freedom to make the next chapter your own.
