Blue Palm is a very comfortable, centrally-located ranch-style home just 2 blocks away from the dining and shopping on St Armands Key, and just 3-4 blocks from the powdery white sand of Lido Key Beach. The open floor plan is a delight, with the kitchen flowing into the dining and living areas, and a large-screen TV within easy viewing. There are 3 bedrooms on one end of the home and a separate bedroom and bath on the other end, which also includes the laundry room and garage. The back yard includes a nice screened-in porch, a large pool and generous sunbathing area with lots of lounge chairs and 2 large umbrellas The service from Lido Key Vacations was impeccable: for example, when we had issues with the ice maker, their maintenance staff promptly brought over 2 large bags of ice to tide us over. We consequently recommend Blue Palms enthusiastically, however renters should be aware of two things. First, this is a pet-friendly home, and one of our guests ended up having trouble with allergies (a self-inflicted wound since we actually rented this home to accommodate a hypoallergenic dog!). Second, the St Armands neighborhood is actually quite noisy because of the constant drone of leaf blowers, lawn mowers and construction, 7 days a week -- so don't expect a tranquil tropical idyl! This is of course not our host's fault but needs to be noted, and perhaps the St Armands neighbors should band together to implement a reasonable noise ordinance.
