A European style beach, Lido Key Beach sees visitors from around the world every year. If you need a hotel while you are visiting Sarasota to view property, we recommend the Holiday Inn, Lido Beach Resort and Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel on Lido Key.

Spend some time on Lido Key early in the morning and enjoy visiting with your neighbors. The shells are best finds at this time of the day too.

Green Flash - A Lido Key Sunset Beach Drink

2009-07-09T07:24:00.005-04:00

At the Ritz Carlton Beach Club on Lido Key Beach, not too long ago, we noticed several couples sipping on what we later found to be a Green Flash. I’m sure you’ve heard of the green flash of light at sunset. You can’t always see it, but, when you do, the flash is an extraordinary quick glimmer of light right before the sun disappears in the horizon.

The Ritz Carlton is known for its fabulous Chocolate Martinis so once we noticed the Green Flash, we were ready to try this alluring new drink. We were told the Ritz’s own Peter Whitely, bartender and mixologist invented the mesmerizing concoction. If you are at the Members Only Beach Club on Lido Beach, you might even be present for the nightly sunset ceremony where the Green Flash is sipped by couples searching the Sarasota sunset for that quick green flash.

If you can’t be on Lido Beach for sunset or to test a green flash, here’s the recipe:

Tall glass of ice
1.5 oz gold tequila
2 oz. pineapple juice
2 oz. sour mix
(fresh-squeezed lemon juice and sugar)
Top with Midori melon liqueur. Watch as the Midori trickles down through the colored juices.

Garnish with a cherry fastened to an orange wedge on edge of the glass.

Enjoy your Sarasota sunset and dream of the green flash. Contact Annette Smith for Sarasota real estate information. Annette shows properties for sale at the Ritz Carlton Beach Residences on Lido Beach as well as all Lido Key real estate and will return your emails and calls promptly.

In January, we showed customers from Delaware some Lido Key condos as well as Longboat Key. These units were priced at under $800,000 for a minimum of two bedrooms and two baths, all with Gulf views.

The winter selling season is over, and we thought an update of Lido Key condos under $800,000 was in order.

In the last six months, 8 Lido Key condominiums have sold. From data in the Sarasota MLS, the lowest priced condo to sell in this time period was a unit at Lido Presidential. The condo was listed at $199,000 and the selling price was $196,322. This was a short sale.

Lido Presidential was built in 1974, and residents are not allowed to have pets in this complex.

If your budget allows more than $1 million, wonderful views await you at condos on Lido Key at Ritz Beach Residences and Orchid Beach Club. These are the two newest buildings on the Key offering outstanding amenities as well as luxurious surroundings.

Lido Key has a European flavor, residents enjoy luxury condo life, long beach walks, relaxing on their balconies overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, and of course, all the amenities of St. Armands Circle! Experiencing a sensational Lido Key sunset is an everyday event.

Our showing schedules remain brisk for Lido Key condos, but we also have seen an uptick in Sarasota golf course homes, country club communities as well as estate homes on Casey Key.
