My husband and I stayed in this wonderful home last weekend. The posting here doesn’t capture how awesome it really is. It truly felt like a home away from home. Very well decorated and has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the outside seating area after spending time on the beach. Private beach access is definitely a bonus. When you stay here be sure to catch a sunset. We’ll definitely be back

The host was amazing! The property was in immaculate condition, recently remodeled, right off the beach and in my opinion the best location on the Boulevard. It is central to St. Petes and Clearwater. We rented eBikes and experienced the entire coast between these two beach towns. We also caught a fishing charter very near our VRBO. And walked to get meal, fishing and beach necessities, and rent the ebikes. We will be back!!!

The place was immaculate and cozy, filled with the comforts of home. The beach was our back yard where we enjoyed beautiful sunsets. The host was extremely accommodating and always accessible to answer questions. I hope I’m lucky enough to return but until then I will definitely recommend this gem !

This was an ideal spot for a quick getaway. The kids loved being steps away from the beach. The host was communicative and warm in all interactions. It was clean, affordable, and just an overall lovely home. Thank you for letting my family stay here.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful home! This beach house had everything we were looking for for our family vacation. Literally steps to the beach! The beach was relatively private and quiet, which was awesome. Got to see the most gorgeous sunsets and even some dolphins. The property and house were super clean. Convenient outdoor shower to rinse off after being on the sand. Nice kitchen and washer and dryer. And omg the shower!! Was so cool and like a room on its own. Everything was super clean and comfortable. Communicating with the hosts was easy, and they were so friendly and accommodating. Overall, best vacation I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back sometime!

Everything was great! The house was perfect for a beach getaway. The house had a private beach entrance only steps away! The host Caron was awesome! Super quick responses to the few questions we did have...she truly is a Superhost! She even offered to stock up the kitchen with a few food essentials since we arriving on Christmas Day. We didn't need to...but the offer was greatly appreciated. We'll be staying here again in the future.

Great spot for beach getaway

This house was the perfect place for our family's beach getaway. As advertised, it was spacious and clean and comfortable. The fridge went down the day we checked in, which was frustrating however Caron was very quick and responsive to get it repaired and resolved. I would love to bring my family back here again. Highly recommend this place!
