Beautiful view, easy walk to several restaurants, super clean. It’s a bit dated but it was perfect for 2 people. We liked the quick walk to the beach, the elevator, and the fact that it’s next to the public beach so we could rent cabanas and lounge chairs.

Condo Review

Check in was easy and communication good. There were long hairs in the bathroom and bed room and the couch was uncomfortable and very dated. The table on the balcony wobbles and had to put a sandal underneath a leg to be able to set drinks on it and not worry about spilling them.

Great stay at the Gulf Strand

We had a wonderful visit to St Pete Beach. The beachfront Gulf Strand location was amazing. It took us 2 minutes to get from our condo to the beach! The condo was quite comfortable and clean, it really was almost exactly like the pictures. We had a lovely partial view of the beach (and gorgeous sunsets) though the balcony furniture was pretty outdated and the feet of the table were rusted away, rendering it useless. Though we didn’t get to enjoy the balcony, it was helpful for air drying wet swimsuits and towels.There were a couple aspects that could use some freshening up and attention. The king size bed has an older mattress. The couch wasn’t particularly comfortable and the table lamp almost fell apart when we went to adjust it! The washer/dryer wasn’t working during our stay, but we were able to use one across the hall at no charge. The kitchen was stocked with cookery, dinnerware, glassware etc. but a few more basic cooking essentials (oil, spices, coffee) would make a big difference.While we noticed these things, they certainly didn’t detract from our comfort and visit. A few finishing touches would make this place perfect! We loved the extra beach toys in the closet and used the cooler that was provided too.

We had a great time and the location is ideal for a beach holiday. The condo had everything we needed and felt very much like a home. We extended our stay by one day as we had such a good time. We would stay here again if visiting St Pete’s in future.

Great Location / Condo needs updating

Location is great - able to walk to many restaurants, grocery store, beach and pool. Condo is very dated - cabinets / vanities are coming apart and do not close properly; kitchen supplies are not consistent - lids do not fit pots; limited cookware; coffee mugs chipped; useable knives was challenging. Master bathroom shower was not very clean (black soap scum on door track); balcony table was off balance (appears 1 leg may have rusted). Washer and dryer were very old - noisy, off balance, dryer lint basket did not fit properly. Supplies in closer (Chairs, umbrella, etc) were old and in need of replacing. Glad we brought our own!

St Pete Trip

We had planned to go to St Pete’s Beach before heading to Naples. We were very unsure what to expect due to the two hurricanes that hit the area. This was the only property that provided an update about the area. We decided at that last minute to book and were pleasantly surprised as we were able to enjoy the beach and golf. Great view and the unit had everything we needed. Will definitely stay there again

Beach retreat

The property is decorated very beachy an it was clean . Because of the hurricanes the pool was out of commission. Our parking space was between a pile of debris and a dumpster. Was given a different space by property management but a day later there was a notice on windshield that we could not park there. Other than that it was fine,

anniversary trip

We came for a week for our anniversary, the condo was nice and clean, can use some fresh updated paint. Two nice coolers a umbrella if you need one, the beach chairs are the chairs that are small, my husband rented a lounge chair on the beach everyday. The mattress is pretty firm not comfortable and the pillows are awful need replacing. No extras in the kitchen as in salt pepper etc, there is a dollar tree kiddy corner and publix which came in handy. great area for restaurants and bars for drinks, not much cold water in the bathroom sinks , brushing teeth with warm water, it was a good week and nice view, would probably check out a different condo
