Staying at the Lido Islander Inn was a genuine treat. I felt like I had my own studio apartment in this swanky neighborhood beachside community. The self check in at night was quick and easy. The bed was comfy, the room very clean, quiet and well appointed. Only 2 little things that I would have enjoyed having– some sturdy, even plastic hangers and a hot pot for boiling tea water. It was an easy, safe and very pleasant walk to shops and restaurants at St. Armand’s Circle and the lovely white sand beach. It always is a major perk to leave the car in its parking spot after a day of travel. The very thorough notebook of dining, shopping and sightseeing ideas provided by the hosts was very appreciated. May I suggest that the cleaning person knock on the door with an intro before trying to unlock the door. All in all, such a great alternative to a hotel stay or a B and B. This will be a good fit for you, if you are independent and don’t expect resort amenities or B and B intimacy and coddling.
