Minutes from the beach! Small, family-sized condo with a full kitchen

WELCOME TO THE PALMETTO

Slow mornings. Easy beach days. Dinner on foot.

The Palmetto at Four Palms Lido is a private two-bedroom, two-bath retreat made for couples, friends and small families who want to actually live on Lido Key for a few days.

Wake up without an agenda. Make coffee. Walk to the beach. Come home and reset. Wander over to St. Armands for dinner, then head back toward the Gulf because the sunset looks too good to miss.

Everything about staying here is designed to make the vacation feel easier.

Beach. Dinner. Sunset. Repeat.

LIDO BEACH, FIVE MINUTES AWAY

The best amenity at The Palmetto isn't inside the apartment. It's Lido Beach.

The beach is approximately a five-minute walk away, which means going to the Gulf doesn't require packing the car, finding parking or turning a beach trip into an all-day production.

We've also taken care of the bulky stuff. You'll have beach chairs, a beach umbrella and beach towels.

Grab what you need and walk over. Stay all day, or stay for an hour and come back later.

That's the advantage of being this close.

TWO PRIVATE SUITES

One of The Palmetto's best features is easy to underestimate until you're traveling with other people: both bedrooms have their own full bathroom.

The apartment sleeps up to four guests across two queen suites.

Bedroom 1
Queen bed
Private ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower

Bedroom 2
Queen bed
Private ensuite bathroom with tub

It's especially comfortable for two couples, friends traveling together or a small family because everyone gets their own space to get ready and unwind.

No bathroom schedule required.

THE LIDO KEY RHYTHM

The Palmetto isn't about packing every minute of your trip with activities. It's about making the good parts easier.

Morning coffee. A walk to the beach. Lunch somewhere nearby. An afternoon reset. Dinner at St. Armands. A walk back toward the water for sunset. Then home.

When so much is close by, you can stop planning everything and start deciding what sounds good right now.

WALK TO ST. ARMANDS

St. Armands Circle is approximately 0.7 miles away.

Walk over for breakfast or coffee, lunch, dinner, cocktails, ice cream, shopping, galleries or simply an evening stroll.

Then walk home.

Not having to think about parking every time you want dinner becomes one of those little vacation luxuries you appreciate more every day.

YOUR HOME BASE

Inside, The Palmetto gives you a comfortable place to recharge between everything Lido Key has to offer.

You'll have a fully equipped kitchen, coffee maker, dishwasher, fast Wi-Fi, Smart TV, dedicated workspace, air conditioning, starter kitchen essentials and starter bathroom toiletries.

Make breakfast before the beach. Bring lunch home. Stay in for dinner.

Or don't cook once.

You're on vacation.

BEACH READY

You shouldn't have to fill half your suitcase with beach equipment.

The Palmetto includes beach chairs, a beach umbrella and beach towels.

Lido Beach is right there when you're ready.

No rental shop. No loading the car. No complicated beach-day logistics.

SUNSET ISN'T AN EXCURSION HERE

One of the best parts of staying close to the Gulf is that sunset doesn't need to become a scheduled event.

If the sky starts looking good, walk over. Put your feet in the sand. Stay for ten minutes. Stay for an hour. Come back tomorrow.

When you're this close to Lido Beach, sunset simply becomes part of the day.

WHY THE PALMETTO

You don't need another vacation that requires a spreadsheet.
