Walk to Lido Beach Tiki Bar, 2 Queen Suites

WELCOME TO THE DRIFT

The Drift at Four Palms Lido puts you in the sweet spot between two of Lido Key's biggest reasons to visit: the beach and St. Armands Circle. Walk about five minutes to Lido Beach in the morning. Come home when you've had enough sun. Head to St. Armands for dinner. The Drift is a private two-bedroom, two-bath retreat for up to four guests who want their Sarasota vacation to feel like actually living on the island.

Park. Beach. Wander. Eat. Sunset. Repeat.

THE BEACH IS RIGHT THERE

Lido Beach is about a five-minute walk from The Drift. That's close enough to change the way you use it. You don't have to commit to a full beach day. Go for a morning walk. Come back for lunch. Head over again for a swim. Return once more because the sunset looks incredible. We've also got the basics waiting for you: beach chairs, a beach umbrella and beach towels. Grab them and go.

PARK THE CAR

Yes, The Drift includes one dedicated on-site parking space.But the bigger benefit is what happens after you arrive. Beach access is walkable. St. Armands is walkable. Restaurants are walkable. Coffee is walkable. Dessert is walkable. Sunset is walkable. For a few days, the car can become something you own instead of something you constantly need.

TWO BEDROOMS. TWO BATHROOMS.

The Drift sleeps up to four guests with two queen bedrooms and two full bathrooms.

Bedroom 1 - Queen bed, Ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower
Bedroom 2 - Queen bed, Ensuite bathroom with tub

That setup makes the apartment particularly easy for couples traveling together, friends or small families. Everyone gets privacy. Everyone can get ready at once. And nobody has to claim the good bathroom on arrival.

WALK TO ST. ARMANDS

St. Armands Circle is approximately 0.7 miles away. Head over when you're ready for restaurants, coffee, cocktails, ice cream, boutiques, galleries or an evening stroll. Have another drink. Stay for dessert. Nobody has to volunteer to drive home.

THE DRIFT KIND OF DAY

Wake up. Make coffee. Walk to the beach. Swim. Come home. Take your time getting ready. Walk to St. Armands. Eat something great. See what the sky is doing. Walk back to the Gulf. Watch sunset. Head home. That's a pretty good day. And tomorrow can look completely different or exactly the same.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED BETWEEN ADVENTURES

The Drift gives you a comfortable home base when you're not exploring Lido. Inside you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, coffee maker, dishwasher, fast Wi-Fi, Smart TV, dedicated workspace, air conditioning, starter kitchen essentials and starter bathroom toiletries. It's enough to make the apartment feel like home without distracting from the reason you're here. Lido Key is outside.

BEACH GEAR INCLUDED

Beach vacations usually involve traveling with an absurd amount of stuff. We can eliminate some of it. Your stay includes beach chairs and beach towels. With the beach only a short walk away, getting onto the sand can be one of the easiest decisions of the day.
