Isla Del Sol - meaning Island of the Sun, is an island community on a tropical barrier island surrounded by Boca Ciega Bay and nestled between the southernmost tip of St Petersburg and St Pete Beach, Florida. This island community has many different condo neighborhoods, each with beautiful tropical landscaping, heated pools, spas, and clubhouses, and some with private beaches and water views everywhere you look. Biking and walking trails will take you from your condo to the Shopper’s Village and around the golf course of the private Isla Del Sol Yacht and Country Club.
`The Island is just minutes from the warm, turquoise waters and the many beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, Fort DeSoto Park, and Fort DeSoto`s North Beach, which is voted one of America`s top beaches. Tons of shops, restaurants, and many exciting things to do are just a short drive across the Bayway Bridge to Gulf Blvd. Explore historic Pass-a-Grille Beach and the bustling St Pete Beach, or drive up the coast following Gulf Blvd through Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach, Belleair Shores all the way to Clearwater Beach to see what adventures you may find! It’s also just a quick drive to I-275 to experience all that Downtown St Petersburg offers.
St. Pete Beach, the most southern link in a chain of barrier islands that make up the Tampa Bay Sun Coast, offers residents and visitors miles of pristine white sandy beaches that border the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. St. Pete Beach, formerly known as St. Petersburg Beach, has a wide variety of accommodations ranging from large-scale resorts to classic Florida mom-and-pop vintage motels that bring back memories of old Florida. The city was incorporated in 1957 with the consolidation of the Towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar, Belle Vista, St. Petersburg Beach, and unincorporated Pinellas County to become the “City of St. Petersburg Beach.”
In 1994, the citizens voted to shorten the name to “St. Pete Beach” to lessen the confusion with the City of St. Petersburg, located on the mainland to the east. The City of St. Pete Beach is located just off the Pinellas County mainland of Saint Petersburg, just south of Treasure Island, 20 miles from Clearwater Beach, and within 30 miles of both St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International Airport. With year-round sunshine, abundant recreational activities, restaurants, and shopping, St. Pete Beach is one of the most enjoyable places to live and vacation in the world.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, as well as the pool and beach. We’re glad you had a great stay and would love to welcome you back again in the future!
The property is very nice. The view is beautiful and we enjoyed the pool and beach area. One beach chair is broken and the others are very cheap and uncomfortable. Upgrade on that would be good.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful view, as well as the pool and beach area. We truly appreciate you letting us know about the beach chairs—this is helpful feedback, and we’ll be addressing the broken chair and looking into upgrading them to make future stays more comfortable. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and all the thoughtful touches throughout the property. Watching dolphins and sunsets from the balcony sounds like the perfect way to unwind—we're glad you got to experience that! We’d love to welcome you back anytime and truly appreciate your recommendation.
Very comfortable and spacious corner unit with beautiful view of the bay and skyline. Kitchen was very well-equipped; plenty of dishes, cookware, and utensils. Appliances were very nice as well. Living room and balcony were very relaxing, beds & pillows very comfortable (bed sheets were scratchy, and the replacement sheets that the staff brought over were no better). Excellent stock of towels in both bathrooms. Very enjoyable 10-day stay! Highly recommend, and would definitely visit again. Thank you!!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Be warned
Got in late only to find that elevator was out. Apparently it was.noted.somewhere in the fine print details of the listing, but one would expect that a major issue such as elevator being out would be a highlighted item. To their credit they did get us another room on a lower level quickly. However, not as nice as original and poorer furnishings. Next found out neither pool heated nor hot tub heated. So much for relaxing.
Overall disappointing stay.

Thank you for your feedback. The details of the elevator is in the first few sentences of the listing right on the page. It is not in any fine print. 2 stars is a bit low considering this was fully disclosed and we moved you very promptly. We do apologize about the pool heat because that happened during your stay and was due to a part catching fire on the heater/pump.In the future I would encourage reading the listing so you are aware.
