Happy with our stay

The property is in a nice quiet locaction close to groceries, shopping, and good food. The pool and hot tub were nice and warm. It was so much more comfortable than a week in a hotel room trying not to disturb each other. Sometimes we were able to drive right over to the beaches, other days it took a very long time to get there and back so plan accordingly. Would have liked more than 1 garbage bag, ended up using our grocery bags instead of running back to the store. They supplied enough soap for 4 dishwasher loads and 4 loads of Laundry. We were there 7 days and did do 1 or 2 more clothing loads than that with suppqlies we brought so we didn't have a bunch to do when we got home. After taxes and fees it did average to much more per night so just take a peak at that and make sure that is what you want, we enjoyed our stay and the space.

Winter Break

Villa was nice but a few things could have been better: initial estimate on vrbo was much below total price once fees were included, no coffee pods for the keurig machine and few supplies for TP, paper towels and garbage bags, hand soap and detergent were almost gone. dishes and pots were fine. No problem with parking and publix and restaurants close by on Cortez. Be careful with congestion on 41 N if you go to Palmetto or St. petersburg.

Nice area

Enjoy Shorewalk amenities, great location. This is not our first time staying at at this unit, we have stayed here before and met the owner. Unit could use some new blinds (could not open or close without them falling down)and detail cleaning on sofa pillows, floors, and area rugs. Enjoyed our stay and will return.

Lovely week long stay

The property had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of beach items, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, noodles, cool box etc. The pools were lovely and warm and had plenty of available seating. Location is fantastic, the beach being just a short 15min drive, and Ellenton Premium Outlets only a 25min drive. Would definitely stay here again.

Hidden Gem is the right word for this place

The check-in was easy. The pictures on the site were accurate. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment very neat snd clean with all the beach supplies you would need for a day at the beach. All appliances were updated and I’m working order. Loved the 2 pools and hot tubs in the complex. Lots of stores, restaurants and shops in the area. Had an issue with one of the blinds falling down. Called the Manager the next day and she came right over snd fixed it Very nice place. I would stay here again in the future.

Conveniently located condo. The clean unit was in great shape and the kitchen was well stocked with essential cooking supplies. We were not able to use the condo complex’s amenities because we were traveling from NY and needed to quarantine for 2 weeks first even though we only stayed in Florida for a week.

Nice location, close to many things

The neighborhood is comfortable, quiet and safe. There is a walking path around the development that we enjoy. This is a 1st floor condo, end unit. There is a club house with heated swimming pools, hot tub, and tennis court. Overall it is a nice facility. Shopping & restaurants are close by. Some are in a walking distance. The condo is basic, nothing fancy, but comfortable. We had a good stay.
