Birthday celebration
I had an amazing birthday stay at this one-bedroom, one-bath unit across from St. Pete Beach. The location was unbeatable, with the beautiful beach just a stone's throw away. The convenience of having shopping and dining options nearby made our stay even more enjoyable. Celebrating with friends and family was a breeze, as we had ample space to gather and create lasting memories. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained the unit was – it's always a relief to walk into a space that feels so fresh and inviting. The yard was an absolute delight, beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed. There were plenty of seating areas outside, making it the perfect spot to lounge around and enjoy the surroundings. It added a wonderful touch to our birthday celebration, providing both comfort and aesthetics. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday getaway!

Work from home turned into work from the beach!
Book this place!
I was here solo for the month of May 2021. I had the most amazing time in St Pete Beach and this rental made it so! Being here the whole month gives you a chance to experience the pristine beach consistently on weekdays and weeknights when it’s not super packed. It was literally a 5 min walk to the beach, 5 min to the local gym (Beach Bods which was awesome!) and an easy walk to restaurants/groceries. Weekends I’d rent a car from Enterprise (10 min walk) and use it to sight see in the surrounding areas (though if you want to stay local you don’t need a car! Bus/trolley stop is around the corner and can get you to Downtown St Pete, Clearwater, and other areas to far to walk).
I’d 100% stay here again by myself or with a friend. It’s a roomy 1br, not too much not too little. Just right. If you’re looking to feel at home at the beach, don’t look any further!

Poorly maintained unprofessional property manager
As an owner of short term rentals and investment properties I can say this property is poorly managed and maintained. This is my first poor review in at least 5 years after staying in over 100 short term rentals. There was a poorly repaired hole in bedroom wall, the towel bar in the bathroom was painted white instead of being replaced(paint was peeling) and lots of other sloppily "repaired" details in the house. There were two larger fails during our stay. The air conditioners stopped working during our stay. The HVAC repair said they were shot and needed to be replaced. The repairman had been out to fill the freon a few months ago but couldn't figure out where the leak was from in the unit. Our bed was so uncomfortable we asked them to take a look. A repair man came out without a mask on. He told us that the other units had the same problem the bed frames were poorly made he rebuilt them with 2x4s. The repairman tried a simple fix that didn't work and had to return to rebuild it with 2x4s. The repairman was unprofessional at best the 2nd time because we asked that he wear a mask. We have a newborn and we'd like to keep her safe. Kelly the property manager was less than professional on her calls with my wife. So much so we called VRBO to document the issue. We tried to let it go and enjoy our trip. We were suprised that after we left Kelly notified us they were charging a large some of money for the following Extra Cleaning Costs, Replace Area Rug, Replace 3 Throw Pillow, Steam Clean Sofa (pets were allowed directly on sofa and bed sheets/comforter. Pet blanket was provided)
All of this was untrue. Luckily I took photos and videos of the place before we left. We have never been accused of damaging a property. I assume Kelly is trying to recoup her money spent on the HVAC tech and Maintenance man. Hopefully the property is managed by a professional in the future and the property is properly maintained.

Great place to ride out a pandemic
This is our second time staying at a property Kelly manages. This year was a little different because of COVID-19, but still enjoyable. The property was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. Kelly and Allysa were very attentive to our needs and were easily reachable. Although many things in town were closed we still managed to have a great time. We will be returning next year and we recommend this property for two people who love to bring their furry friends on vacation with them.

Amazing vacation rental!
I had the pleasure of staying in this triplex and it is a wonderful vacation rental. The house was adorable, cozy, and very clean. I loved that there was a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for my dogs to run around! It is also walking distance to the beach and a ton of restaurants. There was a complimentary bottle of wine there, which was perfect after traveling all day. If you are looking for a comfy place to stay that is walking distance to St. Pete Beach, this is the perfect spot!

Another great stay
This was our second time staying at Kelly's place. Once again, it was awesome. Location - it's less than a five minute walk to St. Pete Beach and all the restaurants/beach bars located there. A five minute walk to Corey Avenue and the Sunday morning market.
The cottage itself is perfect. One bedroom with a pull out couch (our son visited for a few days and said it was extremely comfortable). Everything you need if you want to prepare your own meals is available. Washer and dryer on site as well as a bbq. Back yard is an oasis - a couple of days we decided to spend the afternoon there instead of the beach.
Kelly was very responsive and available if anything was needed (nothing was!). Bottle of wine was a very nice touch. We are already booking it for a future visit.

Perfect little quiet get away
Had a great time. Property as described, listing agent very quick to respond and very nice. Small place, but perfect because it's so close to everything right in St Pete Beach we were always out and about. Walked to beach a few days, walked to the local pubs and restaurants, and enjoyed the area. Would recommend to anyone.
