Wonderful condo with great amenities

We stayed in this condo for a week and absolutely loved it. Great location, wonderful amenities and very well appointed. The owners were terrific to deal with and so nice and concerned with insuring they did everything possible to make our stay a positive experience. We will definitely rent this unit again when we come back to the Tampa area. We've stayed at a number of places in the area and this was our favorite so far.

About the host

Hosted by Marie and Don Bienkowski

Host profile image
Don and I (Marie) live 80 miles north in Crystal River. When our children where young we would spend at least one week during the summer in this area. It was always filled with great family memories. We always said SOMEDAY we might be lucky enough to have our own spot on the beach. In 2002, we purchased this unit and it quickly became a labor of love. All children helped with the initial remodel and since then it has been a very special place.

Why they chose this property

The minute we stood on the balcony and saw the view , we knew this was the place for us. We love watching dolphins in the morning, fireworks on the 4th , or just listening to the waves. It is always a happy place with the sounds of children's laughter.

What makes this property unique

We love the view both North and South on the beach. It is very unique because the front also has intercoastal views. I enjoy that it is on a two lane road and not as busy as a 4 lane.We also love being close to so many great restaurants.
