Our second time staying there and we’ll definitely be back! Condo was perfect and the beach is amazing 😊

First off, the condo was clean and tidy. The beach was great because of the lack of people and the view was top notch from the room. They were doing construction on the building, which we knew prior, but really couldn't tell once inside. Was a bit cramped for four people (2 adults. 2 children) because the lack of storage space for the luggage and bags. Would be better suited just for two people. The lack of parking at the condo was a bit frustrating, especially when loading/unloading, but the lot across the street was easy enough. We made due and was only a minor inconvenience. Also seemed that most public parking on the island was "paid" parking and that got annoying as well. We just planned our shopping/eating trips around free parking. All in all, it was still a good location and a good trip.

This condo is in a beachside inn so it is on the smaller side but has plenty of space for 2 people. The oceanfront balcony was great and perfect to catch some beautiful sunsets. The beach itself was very quiet and peaceful in front of the inn. Publix was about a 15 minute walk down the road, which was super convenient.
The restaurants in the area were ok, good for quick bites and simple food and drinks. The sea dog brewing company was about a 10 minute walk away, and more restaurants in town about a 15-20 minute walk. We really enjoyed restaurants in Tampa and St. Petersburg, both cities within 35+ minute driving distance away.
Overall enjoyed our stay here, the owners stock it up nicely with all you need for the beach, and even a large DVD collection. There’s a tiki bar by the pool to get some great drinks and you can take them to the beach. I also never had to contact the owner/ rental company for anything. Will definitely consider staying again.

I would recommend replacing the mattress as it was extremely uncomfortable. Other than that the pictures were pretty accurate and the location is great.

This area is a hidden treasure. We enjoyed our stay and the time at the beach! This area still has the salty dog feel of an old fashion beach town. The pool is cold and the best around. It was a great anniversary getaway!

Amazing View
This was a great place! It had everything we needed, was very clean and it was close to things. The view from the room was the best. There were just a couple of things that could have been better. The king bed needs better sheets (They did not stay on the bed) and the beach towels were not very good. We would stay here again.

LOVED OUR STAY
The condo was just as cute in person as it was in the pictures. The location was fabulous, you had a cute little shell shop right across the street to walk to for souvenirs, the bar at the pool was great, we spent most of our time either at the beach or in the pool. Close enough to check out the Dolphin Racer, the St. Petersburg Pier, John's Pass, and Clearwater. It was not busy like other tourist spots, so we left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and calm. It honestly made us want to look into living there permanently. I would def recommend this place to a young couple or small family. It was just perfect!

Perfect for what we needed
This place was perfect for a couple who wants to get away from it all for a few days! The place was extremely clean upon our arrival. The biggest difference between this place and the other VRBO properties is the thought behind the "little things" being provided. NICE beach chairs (with a cooler on the back), sand bucket, extra blanket, beach umbrella, boogie board, innertube, beach towels, laundry soap, dish soap, and the list goes on.
The only slightly negative thing I could say is that the bed has a freakishly large pillow top which moves around and isn't the most comfortable-- and that's being picky.

The unit was nice. The people at the front desk were rude and check in at 4 is late considering they were not done cleaning our room until after 4.

Perfect in Every Way
Simply put, this is the best spot on the Island, and this has got to be one of the very best properties that we have stayed in. Clean, comfortable, and well furnished. The special touches were clearly evident everywhere you look, and we felt very at home. This was a very special trip for us, and we can honestly say we enjoyed every moment. Thank you!

Booked this place for 3 days for wife's 40th birthday and our15th year anniversary. Only stayed 1!! WORST rental experience we have ever had!!! Arrived late on first evening noticed floors were quite dirty so we attempted to clean them. Really only slept there that night. Second day noticed more VERY dirty areas, wish I could post pics. GROSS!!! Started looking deeper. Under and behind everything was absolutely DISGUSTING!!! Dirt piles, hair, stains, sand, mildew, soap scum and BUGS!!! Pulled sheets off to wash. Mattress pad was filthy and urine stain. Looking through cabinets in kitchenette noticed a bug, then another, and then 10+ more. LIVE ROACHES!!!! all over the kitchen area. Mostly in the silverware drawers. You could tell this is an on going issue because of the amount of roach FECES in/on the drawers as well as on the already dirty silverware. There were also live and dead roaches in cabinets, in/on, and around the pots and pans. (I have pictures) They attempted to hide the roach traps where no one would notice, under and behind silverware trays (in back of the drawers), under microwave, and in the far corners of cabinets.
This was the final straw. Called property mgr. who offered to come "vacuum up bugs with his dust-buster". But it was now after hours so he wasn't much help. We couldn't stay there with a LIVE bug problem and that amount of FILTH.
We packed-up our things and checked out. Had to find another place to stay last minute for the rest of the trip. We called the next morning to discuss further with them. He said "Well, I thought we had that taken care of". So they KNOWINGLY rented location with active roach problem and obviously haven't been by the location to check on it for some time. We spent hours trying to work this out with them. We asked for a refund but they would only offer to refund a little over half of our money and gave ZERO concern that we had to pay for another place to stay and ZERO concern about how this affected our trip.
This place was DISGUSTING. It was FILTHY. Even the front door was covered in black grime. (which you had to slam to get it to close). It looks nice in the pictures and location is great but DO NOT be fooled and DO NOT rent this place.
Also, I don't know who is leaving the "5-star" reviews but it is almost like they are somehow leaving their own reviews. Its ironic that the last "5-star" review was left on the exact day we found all of the roaches and checked out.
