    Our family enjoyed our time and location staying at the Gulfview Lido Key Gem. The location was wonderful and many amenities were available. The owner and property manager were in touch ensuring all was well. We will be back when we visit Florida again.

    The location of this place was perfect. It was also easy to check in and we were able to check in a couple hours early. Getting a hold of the host was a little difficult. There were a couple times I sent an email and wouldn't get a response after days of waiting, so then I would have to send a text and one time I had to send the text again after over 24 hours of no response. I was a little shocked when we arrived to see that this house is actually 3 units and that the laundry is shared between all. My in-laws said the main bed was great. My husband and I slept in the second room with the two twins and those beds were AWFUL. I can be a little high maintenance with my bed, I understand that and generally don't comment on places mattresses because of that, however, my husband can sleep anywhere and on anything, and even he said the mattresses were awful. So, we didn't sleep well during our stay. But, at least we had the beach across the street to go take naps on! The house was equipped with everything we could need while in the kitchen. We only got one bath towel for each person, which when there's multiple females in the house, more than one towel would be ideal. The wine, chips, and salsa were a thoughtful touch!

    Great location. Great balcony to sit in morning and evening. We were there for a wedding at Longboat Key Club and very close by. Safe friendly neighborhood. Walking distance to lots of stuff. Spent a Sunday at the Lido Beach Resort Tiki bar.....do not miss this place (short walk), so much fun, great bartenders, and no problem putting our football team on TVs! Perfect spot for only 3 nights!

    Overall the property was very nice and perfect for our needs is September. We liked the location and could walk everywhere.The only problem was the front door deadbolt that was so difficult to turn with the key that we could never lock the door because we were afraid we would not be able to open the bolt. The unit needs a new deadbolt. We contacted management - Evolve - and they were very slow in getting back to us and they issue was never resolved. I don't think we will use Evolve again

    Fantastic property, very clean, cool, and had everything we needed. The short walk to the beach (literally just across the street) and brief stroll to shops and restaurants was a dream. Excellent communication throughout the stay. Would def come back again!

    Great place and wonderful location. Walking distance to everything. The key to the house was hard to open the door and we had to get help a handful of times. Bed was comfortable and was a great layout. I would definitely book again.

    My family and I loved the Gulfview Lido Key Gem. The condo was clean, quiet, charming, and had all the amenities of home. The location is perfect. There is a one minute walk to the beach and about a 10 minute walk to St. Armand’s Square. The beach was lovely and we took many walks along the shore. I can’t say enough about this place and highly recommend it. We are already planning our next trip there.

    The location of this property is amazing. Unbeatable. An easy walk across the street for beach access. An easy walk into the town for restaurants.The condo itself is good. The second bedroom is lacking. The mattress quality in this space is lacking.

    The condo was great! It was very convenient to go back and forth to the beach. Location to St. Armand Circle was perfect, just a short walk to great restaurants and shopping. It was clean and well furnished with everything we needed. We did buy beach chairs the first day, not realizing that there was everything you would need for the beach (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, coolers) in the laundry room. So now there are 3 more chairs. Relaxing on the balcony with a view of the Gulf was a bonus. Additionally we went to the Ringling Museum & Ca'd Zan. It was a very cool tour, and parts are free on Mondays! We will definitely be back!
