Perfect area if you want to explore St Pete and surrounding

The condo was so clean. The bed was very comfy. Easy check in. We didn't try them, but the heated pool and hot tub seemed to be a big hit.

Cozy Christmas Getaway

Cozy place with a water view from the balcony. A lot of traffic on the bridge near by. But we could not hear it inside with the sliders closed. Loved that it has a stacked washer and dryer. Great getaway for couples.

Perfect family trip

Condo looks exactly like listing. Stayed with my hubsand and 2 small kids. Perfect for a small family, condo has everything you need. The complex is immaculate and quite beautiful. Quiet and perfect for families. Pool is heated and nice hot tub as well Close to many restaurants, as well as the beach. Perfect getaway. We enjoyed being on the outskirts of the touristy strip! definitely plan to rent again.

Nice place if you vacation quietly

We spent a month. The property itself is pleasant. But it's next to a highway with a constant stream of fast-moving traffic that only lets up between midnight and 5 am. It's nearly impossible to make a left turn from the driveway to go to the beaches or reach the Pinellas Trail. If you prefer quiet vacations limited to your balcony and the pool, it's fine. If you like to bike, hike or just take quiet walks away from noisy traffic without making mad dashes across 5-6 lanes, keep looking.

Nice place to stay

This property was in a great location. As for the condo itself, it could use a few upgrades, like getting rid of the carpet in the bedroom. If you looked closely you could see the dog hair inbedded in it, Also a a little more detail to the Cleaning. Fans had a lot of dust on them. Overall this would not deter me from staying there again, I also would have preferred a small table to sit at to eat, but I knew ahead of time that the only table was outside on deck. The pool was great, people very friendly. We definitely enjoyed ourselves there.

Dolphin view

We stayed at this lovely condo for 9 nights in March. It is a compact 1 bedroom unit that was very clean and tastefully decorated. Lots of towels and bedding . Included soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies. The balcony was large and we saw dolphins almost every day in the bay. Also enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the balcony. The only negative was it’s close proximity to a busy road, which was quite loud when on the balcony. The building had a lovely warm pool - you could not hear the road noise when at the pool. It was close to grocery stores, restaurants , a large mall and the beach was a short 10 minute drive . All in all it was a great place to enjoy a vacation!

Great location and people

The unit supplied everything that was needed. The location is great a close to everything. The pull out mattress is a terrible excuse for a mattress. My 7 year old could sleep in it because of the poor quality of mattress and the springs. I can imagine an adult being comfortable on it. The carpet in the bedroom is disgusting. You can see the black areas and siled markes all over it. That was gross. The balcony seemed like no one has swept or cleaned the edges or corners as there was a bunch of crud there. Plus there was a nasty piece of carpet that must have been a left over that was cut and place on the balcony. It was gross. The rest of the tiles floors were clean and nice.

Too much traffic

Had some problems at the beginning of our stay that were resolved by owner which we appreciated. The furniture had some large stains on it and we notified the owner about them. He said he planned to take care of that in the summer when it’s slower. We thought that was odd because it seems that you’d want your renters to have a good impression of where they stayed for 3 weeks. It’s an end unit next to a busy highway and bridge so the noise was terrible , too noisy to use the deck. Nice pool area and could see some dolphins. There happened to be red tide during our stay so lots of dead fish in the water in front of the condos, got quite smelly if the wind blew the air in our direction. One of the guests asked the maintenance man if anyone cleaned them up and he said it wasn’t his job and he didn’t know if anyone else would. We had our small dog along so we explored many beautiful parks in the area.

NEVER AGAIN,,,

The absolute worst place I have ever checked into! Filthy from the front door, throughout! Dirty bed linens left on beds, damp towels mildewy in dryer,,,, I did 5 loads of laundry on check in day which was Saturday, owner came Tuesday with some new towels, sheets, ect. Top of stove burnt to a crisp! PICTURES, I got 'em! I scrubbed it clean! Would have been less work for me to stay home! I paid as much here as what I normally pay @ beachfront locations, so am not real happy about that. This is the first time my family was glad to get home! It is not a really friendly place either! No one speaks to you,,, Horrible!

Nice but noisy

The condo offers a lovely view of Boca Ciega Bay, and VA Memorial Park across from it -- but it's best enjoyed from inside the sliding glass doors, especially during rush hour on Bay Pines Boulevard. In the bedroom road noise was muted enough to watch TV and fall asleep. I walked to and along the Pinellas Trail easily by first crossing under the Boulevard bridge (I stooped due to the ~5' clearance; not an approved walking path) -- so walking to the nearby Target and adjacent shopping appears straight-forward if you don't care to drive much. If you do drive, it's an easy hop to Tyrone Square Mall and 66th street shopping and restaurants. Everything was clean, the instruction sheet comprehensive. We purchased a bathtub mat to avoid slipping, and the sliding glass door was not easily latched, so I usually rigged a "security bar" in the tracks at night to be sure.
