Fantastic Views of Boca Ciega Bay


Enjoy the magnificent views while relaxing on the private balcony of our waterfront condo located on Boca Ciega Bay! Viewing dramatic sunsets, watching the dolphins play, or just soaking up the Florida sunshine is the recipe for a relaxing vacation.
The condo, which is located on the 3rd floor (marina side of the complex), is minutes from many restaurants, shopping malls, St. Petersburg and Madeira Beaches, and John’s Pass Village. The Pinellas Bike Trail is located across the street, Tampa is 35 minutes away, and Sarasota is approximately a 1 hour drive. The area also provides a variety of golf courses for the golf enthusiast! Target, Walmart, and a Publix Supermarket are also minutes away.
Our 1 bedroom, 1 bath condominium, is equipped for comfort and style as it has just recently been furnished in September 2018. The bedroom has a king size bed, with a 32-inch mounted flat screen television with HD channels and DVD player.
The living room has a sofa, a chair and a half/loveseat, a 42-inch flat screen TV with premium cable channels, and a Blu-ray player for your entertainment. The living room TV is a smart TV. There is a pub style table, with two bar stools for dining.
The kitchen boasts a granite countertop, a full-size stove and oven, a new refrigerator, cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. There is a dishwasher (purchased in 2025) and a unitized washer and dryer for laundry needs.
The condo has high speed Internet that can also be accessed at the pool. The resort offers an over-sized pool deck, pool, and jacuzzi that overlooks Long Bayou and Boca Ciega Bay. There is elevator access to all floors as well as stairs on either end of the complex. There are trash and recycling dumpsters at either end of the complex.

There is a small fitness center and library located on the first floor that may be used.
Doc Ford's restaurant, opened in December 2022, is next door within walking distance of the complex.

What a view!

We enjoyed our stay here. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We loved watching the dolphins and birds, and the boats coming and going. The condo was clean and comfortable, nicely decorated. The grounds were well kept as well. Beaches and stores were a short drive away.

Superb view!

I enjoyed my stay in this lovely apartment. Fantastic view of the bay. Bed was very comfy and everything was provided. My only slight criticism was the crockery some of which has seen better days. Otherwise, all good. The owner was very responsive to requests.

Magnificent view!!

Wonderful stay! When we opened the sliding doors to the balcony, it was as if we added a room. The unit is on the quiet side of the complex. So relaxing!! We saw dolphins every day. We had a problem with the kitchen faucet and John was on it immediately!! The only negative was that the bedroom carpet could use a thorough cleaning or perhaps replaced! I would definitely return!

Amazing Get-A-Way

I needed a get-a-way for a few days just to recoup. After renting this condo for a few days a am truly revitalized. the view was amazing and the place was very clean. I woke up every morning and had breakfast on the balcony watching the sunrise. The location was excellent and not that far from the beach. I would definitely rent this condo again and recommend to my friends.

Love Boca Ciega Resort

This was our 7th stay at Boca Ciega Resort, our 2nd time staying in condo 318. The views from the balcony and pool are beautiful and very relaxing. It's always fun to sit and watch for dolphins, manatees, and rays to swim past. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Ok

We did enjoy our 2wk stay and the view was great but the unit needs some TLC. The owner John was very nice to deal with and addressed the plumbing problem the best he could while being out of state. We had to stay at the condo for the first 2-3 days so plumbers could be there for the issue, which should have only been one visit if it had been done correctly the first time(plumbing company's fault). Now, for the other issues: AC does not cool the unit well as it only goes down to 68 and runs constantly, the washer leaks and water runs down to the pantry closet and kitchen area. When I made the other owner, which I'm assuming was the wife, aware of this issue, she was dismissive about it. She said the housekeeper didn't mention it. Maybe housekeeping didn't know to look for the leak. We washed 2 loads of clothes and the washer left about a half gallon to a gallon of water in the floor. The dishwasher does not adequately clean, the balcony has a good view but the umbrella fell apart when attempting to use it and we had to purchase one as I cannot be in direct sunlight-there is no shade from sun on this balcony-owner John kindly reimbursed us for it, the folding chairs on top of the outside storage closet are severely rusted and I would not use them, upon arriving there was 1 roll of toilet paper, 1 dishwasher tab, 1 trash bag under the sink for a 14 day stay. So as soon as we got there we had to go back out to the store because we arrived on Christmas Eve. The 1 pan in the oven was old, tattered and should have been thrown away, the 2 frying pans were the same. Also, the bed has this extremely hot latex like foam topper on it and it makes you sweat because it has no breathability. Unit needs to be updated, things need to be stocked, and appliances need replacing. I wish I could have given a better review but I feel its always best to be honest.

Great View

The condo had a great view and we enjoyed watching the wild life and the boat traffic from the balcony. Located very close to the Pinellas Trail we really enjoyed our walks and running on the trail each day of our visit. Condo is very close to some great restaurant’s which we also enjoyed!

A slice of paradise.

All the condo's here are on the smaller side. The unit is well furnished, clean and updated. The view of the intercostal is grand, the sunsets are beautiful. this condo had everything we needed. especially love the tall chairs and table and ceiling fan on the balcony. Plan on a car or uber to get around.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Boca Ciega Resort! This was our 5th stay at this complex. We love sitting on the balcony and looking for marine life. We also love the fact that the pool area is never crowded. This year we brought our bikes and spent tome riding on the Pinellas Trail! We highly recommend Boca Ciega Resort!

We loved staying at this place. The condo was great, clean, in a great location and just a perfect size for our family. Our favorite part was the balcony.
