About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Beach is Calling!

The Friendly Native condos truly are St Pete’s best kept secret! Nestled on Sunset Way, you are far enough off Gulf Blvd to escape the bustle yet still within close walking distance to absolutely everything. Merely a parking lot separates you and world-renowned Upham Beach with its sugar sands. From shops, restaurants, and beach volleyball to sunset beachfront walks and quaint beach bars, you will love this Jimmy Buffet-style neighborhood. The condo itself is a larger, corner studio which is full-equipped and boasts lovely Gulf of Mexico views out front windows and pool views off balcony. A comfortable, queen-sized, Murphy-bed makes for restful nights while offering additional living space during the day. You'll appreciate the lovely and functional kitchenette which flows seamlessly onto a private balcony. Rest assured, we always maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and excellence. Light and bright decor featuring photography by local artists sets the tone perfectly for your best beach vacation yet! There are two charcoal grills with utensils located by the beautiful pool for all to use.

Beach Living:
It’s time to live the beach life! Your beach condo is located just steps from renowned St. Pete Beach's strand on the Gulf of Mexico. Recently selected as the country’s top beach destination and heralded for its jaw-dropping sunsets, St Pete Beach makes for an ideal vacation getaway. Only blocks away are boat rentals, para-sailing, stand up paddle boards, fishing, dolphin watch cruises, jet skis, kayaks and almost any water-sport imaginable.

Dining:
Recommended local dining includes Jimmy B’s Beach Bar and Bistro which features free sunset shooters and live music - every night. Also try Woody's Waterfont, Snapper's, 1200 Chop House, Shrimpy's, and Chill. All are accessible on foot or by bike.

Entertainment:
Stroll to historic Corey Ave where you will find specialty shops, dog groomers, dining all day and into the evening as well as a fresh market on Sundays. Or take a Trolley into downtown St. Petersburg, peruse the Salvador Dali Museum of Fine Arts, and take in a Broadway play at the Mahaffey Theater of Performing Arts. Explore Beach Drive where you can dine at one of several five star restaurants or enjoy shopping and gelato. For kids and adults alike, Tampa Bay’s Busch Gardens or Adventure Island provide a full day of thrills.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Everything was as advertised. Room was nice and bright and clean. A small starter bar of soap for the shower would have been helpful, as i didn't want to run out to the store right away after a day of travel,but overall stay was great.

This is the first time visiting Clearwater/St Pete area. We were very pleased with the unit. It’s was very clean and the location can not be beat if you are looking for beach access!Grocery stores, restaurants/bars are all very close, again its location is superb. If traveling alone or as a couple, I recommend staying here. The only complaint I can share is being charged an extra 100 for having an “excessively dirty room”, which is not right. Ultimately, this is a wonderfully located clean efficiency apartment with convenient parking included.

A rental, super clean, and location!

The location of this condo is on point if being close to the beach is important to you. Literally, just across the parking area is the beach entrance. I would more likely call this accommodation a studio apartment as it is one room and the bathroom. A comfortable queen memory foam bed, plenty of room for clothes, a small kitchenette, refrigerator, and closet. The kitchenette is equipped with absolutely everything you may need including a dishwasher and coffee maker.This accommodation was super clean! One of the cleanest we've ever stayed in and we've stayed in a lot!You do walk thru a small portion of the pool area to enter the building which was fine. The people we met that are "regulars" there were very nice. Great area and we felt safe the whole time. The only thing my husband would have liked was a roomier balcony. It is on the small side but it worked for us.Within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and bars. Paradise Grill is across the lot on beach. Drinks and food was convenient and good. One of our favs was Branzini's and another was the The Reef. Both just 2 blocks away. Coconut Charlies and Rum Runners are accessable by beach as well as road. Both were also good and great places to grab a drink and watch the sunset. We did the Starlite dinner cruise. On the pricey side but very good food and nice experience.Easy communication with host. Had no issues at all. It is on the smaller side but perfect for single or couple. Was perfect for us!

Location is Great...

My daughter and I stayed here for one week. The room itself was what we expected and good for us, although the balcony was worthless. The door did not work and I was afraid one day I was not going to get it closed. The location is perfect for the beach and walkable or short drive to everything. The weather was perfect so no complaints there overall. My issue and why I will not stay again is the lack of privacy. You have to walk through the pool area to get to your room and we felt we were watched from the moment we arrived which made the non-use of the balcony okay. Occasionally someone would smile back, but we didn't even use the pool it was so uncomfortable. Maintenance came 23 hours early and thought we were supposed to be gone (he knocked). Then a lady, assuming she came to clean? walked into our room without knocking an hour before checkout with my daughter getting dressed. I don't feel this was the fault of VRBO/property manager. We were very respectful, clean and quiet. My daughter lives FL and we were having a beach week and we just didn't feel welcomed as guests. Another thing to note for reference - the beach is public and you have to pay for cabanas/umbrellas/chairs. If you are watching your budget and this is important to you, look for another condo that may provide these or plan for it. I did love this beach. Every night is a sunset spectacle and very peaceful, so not this particular complex next time...

If like looking at people with tattoos…

We love walking the beach and this location was perfect for that. Never had visited St Pete’s Beach until this stay. Made sure each day that we were walking the beach before 9 am to avoid the tattoo crowd. St Pete’s Beach is pretty tickey tack and commercial but the beach is beautiful in the morning. Access to the beach from this condo was easy. Go to Ft DeSoto Park for more pristine nature.
