Nice little place to stay.

It worked out great for our vacation. Due to the small stove we decided to eat out and not cook for the week. There are some upgrades. Would be nice to have a broom in the condo to sweep the floor periodically.

Short walk

The location can’t be beat, short walk to the beach and to several restaurants/ shops. Easy on/ off the main drag to get into St. Petersburg itself (in town for a swim meet, but wanted easy beach access). Condo itself was more than adequate, starting show its age in places, but it was clean, well stocked and roomy enough for our family of 4. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location

We really loved being so close to the beach! Our kids (6&8yearsold) loved the pool. We didn’t really use the kitchen but it was nice to have the option to make a pizza or have a bowl of cereal instead of going out. Ricks Reef was probably our favorite spot for dinner. The only thing I would mention is that the updated shower was a little annoying as the glass door isn’t ideal, the water from the shower sprays onto the floor , can’t change the aim of the shower head. The place is beautiful and plenty of room. Thank you

St. Pete’s Beach vacation

This property was in a great location. Close to beach, restaurants, bars, etc. Property Manager was very quick to respond to questions. Pool area was nice too. Nothing was ever too crowded unlike our day trip to Clearwater beach. Was glad we chose St. Pete’s Beach area. Condo was tidy but in need of a deep clean and a bit of updating would go a long way. Overall was happy with stay.

Just As Advertised

I knew the location of this condo would be perfect as I scouted the location last year on a previous trip. It is SO convenient - walking distance to the beach and plenty of restaurants! The the newly refurbished condo was just as the photos advertised. It actually seemed a little more spacious than it looked in the pictures. It was great to relax and recharge between outings. The only setback was that the room wasn’t ready at 4 PM. Roger compensated us for our trouble and got it cleaned within a few hours. All of our questions were answered quickly. We would highly recommend it to everyone!

Last minute emergency

We had a last minute problem. One person in our party hurt her knee and we needed a ground floor unit. Roger was great in his response and was able to help us out. The location was perfect and we really enjoyed the pool. Our unit wasn't the cleanest but the space was nice and we enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again.

Dated property, great location

The friendly native is a great location. We have stayed in another unit in the complex in the past and really enjoyed ourselves there. In this unit the beds and other furniture are old and uncomfortable. The shower has poor water pressure and there is no dishwasher. The unit overall is in need of updates and renovation. The ownership team was very responsive to requests (unit needed dishwashing detergent and it was f delivered within 30 minutes) and the parking coordinator was helpful when we needed to swap out our car and register a different plate.

PROS- Pool and pool area great, access to nice beach, parking. Beds, A/C, furniture and TVs good too. New fridge. Nice size master bedroom and bed. I liked the bbq area. There is no porch to chill and have coffee in morning but that’s ok there is a nice sitting area outside by shuffleboard court. CONS- floors need a good mopping. Were vacuumed but dirty. Carpets could use a steam cleaning. Shades were dusty.

The place was filthy

We called Roger property manager to tell him how dirty the place was as soon as we arrived! Dust bunnies in corners and layered on vents, bathroom scum on walls of not being cleaned, blow dryer from 1980’s non operating, bathtub has worn marks down to iron, kitchen sink has burn marks on either side, and bed is so old and worn it sinks in middle!!! Our backs and necks are absolutely ruined!!! My sister had 2 asthma attacks after visiting and one that sent her to the hospital overnight on a breathing treatment because the place is so moldy and musty!! And no rerun calls! Pathetic!!!!!

Great Location, not quite what I expected

Pros: the location was PERFECT. So close and easy to access the beach, the king bed was comfortable, the water pressure was great, the unit was very clean, parking was easy with the parking pass. Cable in both the living room and master bedroom with nice tv's. The owner gave very detailed instructions on checking in and parking which was so helpful! Cons: the building itself is very old, it's been well maintained, but you can tell it's old and the hallway walls are thin. This unit was fine on the second floor, but I wouldn't want to stay on the first floor - it's hard to walk quietly on the hardwood floors. The kitchen utensils, cups and plates did not seem properly cleaned - we washed everything before using it. I think it's up to the previous renter to wash their dishes, so if they didn't do a good job, it's on them not the owner. There are no throw blankets, so if you're a blanket person like me, bring one.

Clean inside but very old

Hands down, a great location. Loved the area so much! The unit is soooo old. It was clean in the sense the cleaners did all they could do. However, expect big rust spots in the shower and sink, all drawers on dresser were broken, things like that. For the price, I’m not complaining, it just is what it is. The two biggest negatives- the bed and the common hallway. The beds were awful, no other word to describe it. The hallway entering the building was the worst smell I could imagine. A mix of wet carpet with all dried fish. We would count down before walking out the condo door and race to get outside while holding our breath. Would I stay in this unit again? No. Was I mad about it given the price point? No. I had realistic expectations. The manager was super responsive, he is not responsible for the negatives, it is obvious they are Doing the best they can with the unit.

Nice place for the price

We had some bad luck during our stay. The public beach area was closed due to work being done for our first two days. It was a long walk to the open beach with all of our stuff. Two kids, chairs, a cooler, towels and a canopy was a big haul but we wanted to stay out there for many hours without having to run back and forth to the room. Obviously the work being done on the beach wasn’t anyone’s fault, but it would have been nice to get a head’s up so we would know what to expect. As far as I know, the work is almost finished. By the time we left more than half of the beach had opened up. We also had a power outage for 8 hours on one of our days, again, no one’s fault, but there was no communication about it. I called the manager and he said it was being worked on. I called the power company myself and they gave me a time to expect the power back on. With that time as a guide we made plans to go out to eat instead of cooking. Agave Mexican restaurant is within walking distance and was amazing. The rooms and bathroom were clean. There were unexpected supplies in the hall closet like coolers, a floatie and umbrella but we had our own. The kitchen was clean and stocked with everything you need to cook, but there were some sugar ants. The pool was larger than it looks in the photo and my kids had a great time making friends with other vacationers there. It was clean and there were always plenty of chairs, even during busy times. We were in unit 604 which is not on the street facing the beach or the pool, but it’s not a terribly long walk to either. It’s on the second floor, which is a bonus for noise. It was quiet and nice with mostly families.

Great Location but condo needs a deep cleaning.

We arrived a day early due to the winter storms. Roger was great to work with to book an extra night last minute. We stayed there for 8 days over Xmas. The condo itself is very worn out. This is ok but the condo also wasn’t clean. The kitchen had lots of build up around the base moldings and walls. It looks like months and months of cleaning neglect. The windows in the condo had white film on them as they haven’t been cleaned in a long time. The window ledges were dusty and dirty. There was lots of grime and mold around the bathroom faucets and on the window in the bathroom. We had to buy a new shower head bc the one there was loaded with grime and had no pressure. Mold around the vents still not cleaned in bathroom which was mentioned in an older review. The door to furnace room had a big vent built into the door that was loaded with dust. The top of the fridge had a ton of dirt and dust on it too. Upon arriving our blankets were thin and super crunchy and the pillows were super flat. Someone did drop of new blankets and pillows which was nice. Not sure what detergent they are use for sheets but they had a strong bleach smell. We had to wash all the sheets ourselves at the laundry mat with a less strong detergent as we had broken out in rashes. The location couldn’t be better! It’s super close to the beach and tons of restaurants, bars and shopping. The paradise grille which is steps away was amazing! We had a toilet issue one day and Roger was very responsive to send out a plumber. It was an easy fix that I was able to do myself but he did respond which was nice. I understand the condo being worn and old but no excuse in this day n age for it not to be clean. If he can guarantee that he holds the cleaning company accountable to cleaning properly and spending money to deep clean this condo it would be a great place to stay. The pool area was amazing! Lots of seats and pool was nice and warm. The condo was stocked with ample cooking stuff but we never cooked. There was a couple of chairs in the closet for the beach. They also had some toys, boogey board and other beach stuff left back by other renters. So not sure if he checks on the condo or who holds cleaning company accountable but this place would be 5 stars all day for location if it was clean. It was a middle unit. Some noise but I expect that. View from window had a palm tree outside and nice landscaping.

Our family of 4 stayed at this well appointed condo while visiting college with our son. The location of the condo was wonderful (about a 30 second walk to the beach), and the pool was clean and uncrowded. Parking was never a problem, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!
