Excellent stay, notes below.
1. Interior - great finishes, furniture, and design. Comfortable beds, great bathrooms and showers, large and functional kitchen and great room, bonus game room and space downstairs.
2. Exterior - Stairs at driveway lead to a nice front door balcony on the main floor, additionally a rear balcony on the main floor overlooks the backyard. Bonus patio space at ground level. Nice chairs, tables, and furniture all around.
3. Effective A/C and heat. Independent thermostats on the main level and upstairs level. Both A/C and heat worked well.
4. Proximity to the beach. The walk to the beach is literally 3 minutes or less. The crosswalk on Gulf Blvd has activated lights and all cars stopped, never felt dangerous. Easy to carry chairs, toys, and everything for the day. Beach was never crowded, excellent compared to Clearwater or St Pete. Best item, no fight or paying for beach parking.
5. Host communication was excellent.
6. Very minor issues. No toaster in the kitchen. No soap/shampoos in the showers (hand soaps were provided at sinks). Carrying luggage from the driveway up the stairs could be a downside for some, it wasn’t an issue for our family.
I recommend this property, would absolutely stay again in the future.
