About a block and half away from the beach, loved having the pool right outside our back door. Complex and room was well maintained. Thank you for a lovely stay, a great home away from home for a week.

5 Sisters loved their stay here, very spacious unit with private patio and sun deck. Well equipped, lovely pool. Appreciate that owner provides starter supplies for at least 1-2 days. Will rent again!!
We flew in for a concert in Tampa but also wanted to enjoy the beach. Pre-arrival communication was very good. Condo was as described and had beach towels, a couple of chairs and even a canopy. My biggest issue was a musty smell from the air conditioning. No evidence of any mold could be seen in the condo. Parking spot is tight on the neighbor fence.

Everything was great except for Saturday morning when workers came in with leaf blowers at 8am and were loud as **** right outside our windows. Would rather see that in normal working hours during the week

Have been coming to st Pete to stay for many years first time staying in this unit and will definitely be coming back when we travel with family again. Great location to the beach and to restaurants.
The Wave #1 Place was a very spacious and comfortable place to stay for us! The bedrooms and Family area were huge and even better than pictures posted with the advertisement!!! Would definitely recommend and stay again if we were in St. Petersburg again!
Great location. Very open, rooms and bathrooms were good size. Only suggestion would be to have beach chairs available with the close proximity to the beach and the sliders to the deck needs to be improved. Overall, really enjoyed our stay.
I stayed here with 6 adults and two children under the age of 2. It was perfect for us and met all of our needs. We also though the location was very convenient and liked how quiet the property was.
Absolutely great location. Short walk to food and beach. Stay in #1 as you have private patio and pool access. Pool was kept extremely clean. Laundry room was very accessible. Only complaint is the low quality of sheets.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
It was an amazing condo with a nice walk to the beach. We had a lot of fun. The pool was refreshing we liked that we could walk to the beach, a place for breakfest and Shells restaurant for a nice diner. It was a quiet family friendly enviroment with a lot to do in walking distance, highly recommended. We will definitley be back next summer!!
Got to meet up with Army buddy's I hadn't seen in over 20 years. Had a great time

We enjoyed the unit we stayed in and how close the beach is but I was disappointed that smoking is allowed in the pool area.

The space was great and it was close to the beach.
Overall the property was good. The master bedroom needs some work. The bed was very hard and the pillows were not good. Also the master bath had a broken door.

Just a short walk to the beach, this lovely condo was safe, behind 2 locked doors, with a pool and a huge back deck. It was great for our WFH group with plenty of privacy. It was clean and communication with management was quick and easy. Thanks for a great stay
