Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The reservation process was seamless, the information shared by the management company was good, the notebook with information about the unit was very helpful although we never did see the wifi information if that was included. The beds, pillows and towels were comfortable and the location was very close to restaurants and other amenities. I highly recommend Sunset Grill - great food and service and a view of the water! The view from the room balcony was nothing special, the other furniture was uncomfortable, and the game room on the premises was a joke. We didn't get to use the outdoor amenities because it rained so I can't comment on them. My biggest complaints are the bathroom fan that sounds like the space shuttle taking off when the light is turned on and the lack of "basic supplies." The one bar of soap was about the size of a half dollar so we had to go out and buy our own and the shampoo supplied was only enough for one hair wash.

This is a little gem of an experience. The property is located on a point jutting into Tampa Bay, with a great skyline view of Tampa, especially at night. The property offers all sorts of activities, has a great pool that is clean and well maintained, two restaurants within walking distance, park for kids across the street. All is very clean and maintained. Its secluded location makes for a quiet stay, with so many friendly people staying on the property. The room is not large, but is an efficiency that afford basic needs for cooking and living. There is a front porch with two chairs. Carmen, our contact, was outstanding in communicating with us concerning the rental, directions to the property, and helping us when we had difficulty with entering the room when we arrived. This is a great spot to unwind and chill out, however a short distance to the Tampa area will afford any thrills and nightlife a traveler would wish.

Perfect for 2 nights

Carmen was wonderful communicating with us prior to & during our stay. The condo was clean.Two fridges are present in the room. Pack beach chairs, there are none at the condo. The beach is very small but clean. We ate at both restaurants for a late lunch early dinner & they were good. We drove to a diner for breakfast as either restaurant didn’t offer breakfast.Got to see Dolphin’s & a manatee in the wild.

Old & Moldy smell

Beautiful area but this unit was very dated & had a terrible moldy smell. The bathroom had a very strong smell of urine. I called the host, and she proceeds to tell us that the smell must be coming from another unit which was ludicrous. She offered to give us two nights of our money back. After already paying a host fee, as well as a cleaning fee, we decided to stay because of a very busy schedule with my mother’s 90th birthday over the weekend. We went , we decided to stay because of a very busy schedule with my mothers 90th birthday over the weekend. We went out and spent $25 on Febreze air fresheners to make it tolerable. I would not recommend this place to anyone and the host was very rude.
