Beautiful location. Beautiful views of the ocean and pool. Almost all amenities and spices were included. Even had a crock pot which we used to make Italian beef. Very very clean. Felt very safe and Maria responded quickly with any questions or concerns of which there was only one. The oven needed to be serviced and she had someone there very quickly. But there was also a toaster oven so no big deal. She has thought of everything you need for a beach vacation. Definitely recommend this condo and will be back. Thanks Maria for sharing for beautiful oasis with us.

Excellent location for families to relax and catch phenomenal sunsets. If you’re looking for more commercialized space both Maderia Beach and Clearwater beach are in short proximities.

Maria made everything so easy, I would definitely book her condo again. Everything about the condo was great and the location was excellent. It was close enough to places but was quiet. We loved our stay. The only downside, the pool was cloudy and the filter system didn't seem to work properly.

Thank you Shane for your nice review. Found out a few days ago they closed the pool to work on the problem. The guests could use the pool next door. 2

Place is a hidden gem. Great location, very clean, everything you need included, awesome communication, excellent price, grounds were immaculate. I may have missed it but a lot there that I wasn't aware of from the listing. Beach has a company renting elevated wood chairs and umbrellas that they come mid day and adjust as the sun moves. A couple of gas grills are available on the grounds. The complex has an a number of staff or contractors who meticulously take care of the pool/grounds/grills so they look perfect every morning. The condo had internet that worked flawlessly. I think there is even a game room with a pool table I heard people talking about. They were renovating one of the two elevators the week we were there so occasionally you might wait 1-2 minutes to catch a ride but even with only one elevator things moved along just fine. A few points I'd share in case it helps. The codes to the pool and beach have been updated from the notes in the house, I'm sure Maria will update those even before I press send, if you need them they are the same for all guests and you should be able to ask someone in front of you. Also, near the elevator there is a map of the parking lot. The space allocated to the condo is the same number as the condo number. On the piece of paper is a map of where the numbered spaces are located that makes finding it easier than looking for your number across all the spaces. If you can get this place you will not be diapointed.

Thank you so much for your great Review and all the important information. I did send you the new code for the gates on my personal email I send, before the condo letter. But as you mentioned, there is always someone there to ask.

Awesome condo, perfect location

We wanted to be away from the chaos of Clearwater Beach, and the location of this condo was perfect for that. Great restaurants nearby and a gorgeous beach right out back. Would definitely stay again.

I was not so happy about your responds. You had to canceled 1 year ago because of corona, I would liked to give you the money back, but you decided to come back a year later. In the mean time the price went up, plus cleaning fee $160.00 which I never charged you. This time you told me your son is not well, he needs special food that has to be send before your arrival. I had to figure out where you could send it to, I thought of my cleaning lady and she was nice enough to agree on it. Accepted at least a comment that I was helpful and tried my best to please you in any way.

The condo met our needs perfectly. There were 5 of us, 4 being women & we all were able to work in the kitchen at 1 time with plenty of room. When not on the beach, we spent most of the time on the balcony enjoying the view. We would totally recommend this location !
