I very much enjoyed my stay. Definitely a 5 Star Resort for Singles and Couples. It had one of the best views of any Resort I have been at. I loved my Balcony and saw Dolphins every day. Enjoyed the pool and having Doc Fords next door was a big plus! I will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

This was our first time being a snowbird. We stayed at Boca Ciega Condominium Resort for over three weeks. It was very pleasant and relaxing. The management company is very responsive and friendly. From the booking to the final checkout, everything went seamlessly.The view of from the condo balcony is breathtaking. During a few cold days, we were just sitting inside watching the water view for hours. The pool and hot tub are well maintained and comfortable. I enjoyed a few swims. The location is convenient. It is just 15 minutes away from beautiful white sand beaches and about 25 minutes to downtown St Petersburg to explore arts, culture and cuisines. It is not far from Tampa either. We highly recommend this place.
