Wonderfully located between the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay, Lido Regency claims a prime piece of beachfront on south Lido Key where coastal living is on island time. The beach is your backyard. The mangrove tunnels at Ted Sperling Park are out your front door. It’s just one mile to the shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle, and only four miles over the Ringling Bridge to downtown Sarasota for more shops and restaurants, plus art galleries, farmers market and performing arts. Free Bay Runner trolley from south Lido to St. Armands and downtown. Your best beach life starts right here. You can literally roll out of bed and step out onto the powdery white sands of Lido Beach. “Life is a Beach” is the real deal when you live in this coastal condo on Lido Key in Sarasota, Florida.
