Overall the property is in an excellent spot if you want to be close to the beach . Plenty of options to eat and enjoy some great music. The only thing I noticed is that my husband was in Tampa prior for business and the place stated there was laundry facilities and that was one of the reasons I chose this place. There is no laundry facilities in the condo but there was plenty of places to drive to . I feel this was a misleading statement. All in all I would definitely recommend this condo to stay at if you want to be close to the beach.

Clean condo

This unit is very clean - even the floors are clean! Bed is comfortable and adjustable. It has a wardrobe for hanging clothing (these units lack a closet in the bedroom). The downside - the unit feels more like a studio instead of a one bedroom due to a wall being replaced with glass doors (you can close the doors, and there are curtains). No dishwasher, or filtered water or ice maker in the fridge (a brita water pitcher would be a nice addition). Take trash bags as the kitchen trash can is too small and it will be full in less than a day. I wish they had onsite laundry like gulf winds did. Pool is so nice, but they allow all types of floating rafts etc, so it can be annoying if there are a lot of them in the pool. There are things I would change, but because it was so clean, I would stay again. Can’t beat the price or proximity to the beach.

Perfect for us

This property is just perfect for a couple getting away for a beach vacation. This was our 2nd year staying in this property and hopefully we will be back next year! The location is perfect- steps away from the beach, restaurants and activities. Additional items that make your trip comfortable are included- we had access to an additional cooler, towels and a beach buggy that was fantastic. The pool is nice… I just cannot say enough about how much we love it.

Cute, Quiet, and Steps to the beach!

My husband and I spent 2 weeks at this adorable condo. It was just a parking lot away from the beach entrance and the pool was heated nicely. We enjoyed the white powdery beaches and being able to walk and ride our bikes to several restaurants and shops. We are already booked for next year!

1st time at St. Pete Beach

After a couple of days to unwind we were able to appreciate many things about our stay. The building is very old and in need of some maintenance including landscaping. Upon arrival we were concerned. Our interior unit was just as depicted on the app and charming. A few too many nick knack items in such a small space but overall very clean and enjoyable. The pool area which is where we had to enter and exit could also use some TLC and atmosphere.

Perfect little beachside getaway!

Everything about this cozy little space worked perfectly for my solo getaway! The unit had everything that I needed and more. It would have been perfect for a couple, too. Nothing was overlooked. It was clean, corner unit right beside the Gulf and I could see the water from my windows. The check-in process was very smooth, no issues whatsoever, and the property manager was always available for any questions with very quick response times. (I even met her personally and looked at units for sale in the area as she is a realtor.) The property itself is definitely for travelers as the units were always changing over to new people, but there was no problem with noise or anything. I felt quite safe and right at home in this unit. I would definitely stay there again - the location is just perfect.
