Great location and value for money

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!

Family vacation at St. Pete Beach

We had a lovely family vacation at St. Pete Beach. Two adults and two children fit comfortably in this condo. It is an excellent location, right on the beach with a beautiful view. When we arrived, the condo was very dirty- our feet were black after walking around for just a few minutes. The owners were great at communicating and sent a cleaner out immediately. Even after they cleaned again, it still felt dirty (and our feet were still black) but the owners offered free tickets to our family to the Clearwater Aquarium to make up for the inconvenience. Overall, it was a wonderful trip, just could have been cleaner.

Great Location/Easy Beach Access

This unit is located in a great part of the western coast of Florida. A really nice beach (which you can see from the unit) is right outside the back gate. Lots of restaurants and shopping are nearby. The complex that the unit is located in is very nicely maintained. The check in process was very simple and smooth. Great communication from the hosts. If you combine the property description with the review comments you get a good idea of what the unit is like. The setup is nice. The balcony is a pleasant bonus (though a bit noisy because of the street noise). The unit is stocked with beach chairs, toys, coolers, beach towels, etc., which was really appreciated. The cleanliness was on the moderate side. Things are a bit tired and need of a refresh (screeching closet door, bottom of side chair blown out, faded curtains, etc.). I would stay here again . . . and I would recommend it to friends but would mention a few caveats.
