This place was very adequate for us. AC was adequate for moving air at night..used heat during day…chilly during our time there. We did not use the pool. Cottage is very close to places to eat, beach and shopping. Also in a central location to easily drive to Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

Nice, Clean and Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops!
Our trip started with excellent communication with ITrip. Our little cottage was perfect for 2 of us. It would be cozy for 4 but you could do it. Very clean and easy to get in and out of without having to worry about a key. The pool was very nice to cool down and relax. My favorite part was the porch with the quality Adirondack chairs to sit and relax. I would recommend!

Sandy Shores
Cottage condo was clean and exactly as remodeled advertised. Perfect size for the week vacation. Close access to the beach yet very quiet neighborhood. Parking, grounds, pool and laundry room tidy and met my needs. Management was quick to reply to questions. Only concern was low water pressure in shower and VERY spotty wi-fi. Would not recommend if you need reliable wi-fi. Otherwise, I fully intend to return and would recommend.

Arrived an hour early and cleaning lady informed there was no AC. It was 85 outside and 95 inside. The manager said he could get it fixed so we waited 3 hours. It couldn’t be fixed and by that time we couldn’t go anywhere else. We left the following day and stayed at airport hotel and flew home incurring 550 additional in airfare. The manager is rude and arrogant. Works for ITRIP check out their reviews on Trust Pilot and you’ll be shocked that vrbo lets them list their properties

We apologize for the AC trouble. The entire system was replaced the next day, but we do understand how frustrating this can be to Guests during a vacation. Unfortunately, we were not able to keep this reservation, but we can assure future guests that everything is working great and this will not be a problem going forward.

It's wonderful to know that you found it to be family-friendly as well. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future.
Clean, updated cottage was in a quiet friendly neighborhood. Walking distance to beach access and restaurants and shopping.
Got to meet all our friendly neighbors.
It’s proximity to Beach access is alone worth the booking. The cottage is clean and has the necessary items you’ll need during your stay. I like the scent of the soaps they left in the bathroom. The little porch is perfect resting on after sending all day at the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
This location will definitely go on my favorites list. Stayed for a short time for a graduation over the weekend and was sad to leave. Will need to come back for a longer stay as we only took advantage of a few amenities (ticket to Dalí Museum). Property manager was quick to respond and plenty to see and do within walking distance.
The property was just as advertised. All we needed was there. The beach less than five minute walk. One recommendation would be to include more towels for and a dish drying rack.
We had a great time here-weather was sunny, beaches are beautiful and the location was close to the water,shopping, and restaurants. A few things could be added-dish drainer and extra kitchen towels due to no dishwasher and a laundry basket. The hot water was very hit or miss as well! Overall-great stay!
4-5 min walk to the beach, clean and very nice cottage. They could have left better instructions on accessing TV channels. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend staying here!
Very clean little cottage. Close to beaches and restaurants. We had low water pressure in the shower but called and let them know, they were there in 20 minutes to fix it.
Would have been nice to have a dishrack to dry the dishes on and more room to hang wet towels. But, overall great place.

Our stay
Dust bunnies under bed. Some repairs needed - screen door in back; front door does not close only after a hard tug; cushion on couch needs mending. Overall a good location but overpriced.
This cottage was exactly as listed. Perfect location for us in a very friendly area in walking distance to the breach and boardwalk. The living areas are nice, kitchen well stocked with cooking and serving utensils. Furniture and bed were very comfortable. I texted the number given a few times with questions and they answered almost immediately. Only cons I can think of (which to me is kind of nit picking) are the patio furniture was dirty and we washed them down to be able to sit without fussing with a towel and if you are staying for more than 2 days bring towels or quarters for laundry because there were only 2 towels. Overall it was a very nice, quiet, peaceful stay and recommend it to anyone.

Perfect!!!
It’s was perfect ! It was clean ! The A.C. Worked ! It was kept cool the whole time ! It has everything you need to cook with and everything you need for the beach. I wish the bicycles they had were in working order but it was not that big of deal because we didn’t have time to use them because we loved using the kayaks. I know if we would have called and asked them about the bikes they would have sent someone right to pump the tires up and fix the chain on one of them.
This little place was great for my husband and I. There were adequate kitchen utensils but note that it's essentials only (which was perfectly fine for us!). The property management company was SUPER responsive to any questions we had; they were wonderful to work with!! This is a short walk to the beach--literally, like 2 blocks and there was everything you could possibly think to need for a day at the beach--chairs, coolers, bikes, even a few umbrellas and beach carts!
The bathroom is tiny with very little counter space, so ladies, be prepared to get creative with where to put your hair dryer/iron, beauty products, make-up etc. while you're getting ready for the day. (just a heads up for those who appreciate a little bathroom counter space) The bed was very comfortable! Plenty of sitting space in living room area as well. The only inconveniences (if you can really call it that) is the lack of drying rack or anything for drying dishes after you've washed them. Not a biggie, but would be an added convenience for future guests. Also, the ventilation in the kitchen doesn't help to pull out smoke from cooking (i.e. bacon!) so if there was a way to ventilate better, that would help. That, and better instructions on how to work the cable; we aren't Hulu-savvy, so it took us a bit to figure out which app was for regular cable TV...As you can see, all very minor suggestions that don't really take away from the overall satisfaction of the place. We would definitely stay here again!!
Check in was super easy! The cottage is neat, clean and super cute. The guidebook was super helpful and the location was optimal for walking to the beach and boardwalk. Would definitely stay here again!!
