Your own private Beachfront Home On the Sands of the Gulf. Can't get any closer

Beachfront Home 3 bedroom 2 bath Views overlooking the beach ! Some recent renovations completed. Nothing fancy about this beachfront home......BUT it is located on the most beautiful spot of the tropical barrier islands between Clearwater beach and St Pete Beach. Amazing beach views! Old Timers call this part of the island "The Narrows" where the sand is just wide enough for a single row of homes.

Ideal for a family vacation or for a Romantic getaway for 2. Step down from the back deck and stroll the sugar white sand beach. Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms 2 full baths, large living area and 2 decks overlooking the beach. Watch the sun melt into the Gulf of Mexico as the day ends. Relax and Enjoy our little slice of beach paradise.

Perfect location

Truly right on the beach. Could not be more perfect. The house is in need of updating but clean. The driveway was a bit stressful being very narrow, almost got stuck in sand and could only back out onto busy road. The town center is so cute and very close. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location!

It's close to many great restaurants and you have a dedicated spot on the beach that is nearly all to yourself. We saw dolphins and lots of other wildlife from the deck. The house was about what we expected based on other reviews, it does need some updating but it sounds like that will happen soon. It was clean and the appliances were relatively new. Overall it was a great beach getaway!

Heavenly Location

Location, location, location! Watching sunrise on the intercoastal and sunsets on the ocean everyday are all you need. The house was great, very spacious for our family of 5. The only suggestion I have is to switch the TV from bedroom to living room for smart TV apps in the living room. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!

Gorgeous property!!!

Everything was amazing! All the amenities included, pots and pans coffee maker etc. perfect location! The beach is right there and it’s a quiet part too! It’s close to everything. The beds were super comfortable! The check in process was so easy and the owners were great with communicating with us! The only negative thing was that we couldn’t get the cable to work but we also suck with technology. You’ve got the beach so why do you even need tv? We will be back!

Beautiful location that needs some work

Overall, this house is in a beautiful location on the beach. The view is spectacular. However, the house itself needs some work. The driveway to park in is just sand, which two out of our three cars got stuck in and we had no heads up that the driveway was like that and the only reason the third didn’t get stuck in the sand was because it had four-wheel-drive. The railing at the top of the entryway staircase is very unstable, and even has caution tape around it. The deck on the upper floor also appears to be quite unstable. Again, beautiful home and we did enjoy our stay, The house and driveway itself just needs some work In order to be safe/accessible.

Location was great. Pictures on website are very old. Wood flooring in dining room had holes in it. Holes in walls,filthy dining room chairs, toilet was broke,cockcroch found. It could be a wonderful place. Needs ALOT of TLC. I paid too much for what all was wrong. Beautiful view and sunsets.

Good house

Stayed for 3 nights. Its a good house in a great location. Location is very peaceful. Having you own private beach is amazing. Dont have to worry about a crowd. Chairs for the beach are provided, along with some odds and ends. The house had everything needed, however the house did feel outdated and needs some TLC and some parts of the house need more elbow grease when it comes to cleaning, especially the inside of the cabinets. The drveway is slightly tight and really have to watch the wall in the driveway at the neighboring house. It is not straight so it gets tighter as you are getting closer to the road. Overall a good house.

When we first got to our property our first impressions were mixed. The driveway is extremely narrow, and you can easily see where others have scraped against either one of the walls. Outside, the view is nice. Inside was not something we expected. The photos on the listing are not up to date and misleading. There’s cracks in the floors and ceiling. An unsealed front door that leaks when it rains and allows for plenty of ants to come in. The upstairs bathroom does not lock, and also has a glass door you can see through. The shower leaks into the kitchen from a hole. And last but not least roaches, plenty of them. We found the first one after our first night and were very alarmed. We contacted the host and they assured us it was just a palmetto bug and that they recently sprayed. I wasn’t too worried after that, until we found even more during our stay. 7 total, and no not all of them were dead. Overall, this place has a lot of potential. But unfortunately it does not look like this place has been well kept. I would not recommend this place to anyone, even if you’re just staying one night.

Great location , need some keep up.

The location is beautiful. It is a older house that needs some updates. The main dissatisfaction was missing any light outside, not safe to take stairs case at night. The cable is just hanging there. The toilet in the Master bathroom doesn't refill on his own. The towels are old and stained . We could not find a garbage so we had to collect the bags in the house for our stay. Few of the chairs are brocken inside at the dinner table as well as outside. I wish just some safety issues could be addressed.

Not what it is portrayed to be

The location was beautiful. Great access to the beach but the house was not what it was portrayed to be at all. The pictures are definitely out dated and misleading. The property has been neglected and not properly maintained. Multiple safety violations. Mouse poop in cabinets and dishes. Main Exterior door screwed shut. Couldn’t lock the house up. Floor warped and trip hazard. No hot water in master. Stained bedding. Bathroom door is see through. Decks are falling apart and are fall hazards. Shower leaks into kitchen. Flea looking bugs all over house. Hard to get into driveway. Very narrow. Missing blinds for privacy. No knobs on any cabinet. Table cloth stained. Bath towels stained. Shower curtain stained. Upstairs shower too dark to see. Kitchen table chairs stained. Dried fluids on floor. Hair on steps. Outdoor furniture rusted. Chunks of rust everywhere. Kitchen stove was dirty. This place was honestly disgusting. We washed everything before using it and refused to let our kids in certain places of the house. We were concerned for multiple safety reasons. If we could’ve found another place to stay and afford it, we would have left the day we showed up
