Great location near the beach, restaurants and bars.The place itself was neat, well organized and had everything we needed. The bed was comfy, plenty of storage space. Pool area was very nice and relaxing. Quiet at night as well. We appreciated the availability of beach chairs, umbrella, towels and a cooler! Also loved the bicycles available downstairs.The only 2 items that would help: 1- hot water took a number of minutes to arrive at the shower. 2- the dehumidifier filled up and shut off, so instructions on emptying it would have been useful. We figured it out eventually.Thanks for letting us stay there!

Peaceful, convenient, charming, nice view.

It’s nice and convenient to stay in the heart of this small beach town. Shops and restaurants are close, as is the beach and the inter coastal waterway. This recently renovated old building is charming with modern conveniences. We loved it.

Great Stay on our MiniMoon

Me and my newly wed wife spend some time at Pass-A-Grille every year. This is first time at Theis location. It was a great stay. The complex is secure and pass codes on every door. Parking is great. Walking distance to everything you would want to walk to at Pass-A-Grille. Will be back

On historic 8th Ave

The property is on historic 8th Ave with shops across the street and many restaurants within walking distance. The Seahorse is one of favorites and is very close. We stayed in Suite 3 and had a fabulous view out the windows. Just a short walk down the street to the beach. Not a lot of refrigerator space if you plan to do a lot of cooking but plenty of room for drinks and snacks. We plan to go back to La Tortuga again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The outside property was nice and up to date. The inside was comfortable and clean. There was a musty smell upon entering the building and in the room. It was a bothersome to smell. There was a dehumidifier that filled up twice during our stay. The shower also had a stain but again everything was very clean. Bed was comfy too.

Attractive Romantic Beach Nest

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Host was excellent at communication and customer service. Room is a bit small, but priced well for the size. Location and parking are outstanding. The walls are thin, and one can sometimes easily hear the next door neighbor. Keep this in mind when listening to music or staying up late. There are several units. I highly recommend speaking with the host about which unit is most suitable for the needs of your stay. Definitely worth checking out.

8th Avenue Gem

This was our first experience staying on the Bayside of PassA-Grille and we were not disappointed. The sunrise over the bay along with the night time glow of lights over the water were stunning. The unit was bright, roomy and very well equipped for our extended stay. You will enjoy the beautiful green space along with off street parking. A full sized outdoor grill and 2 outdoor living areas with a tv were provided as were free use of washer and dryer. After coming to this area for 20 years we are glad we tried something new. I would recommend this one for sure .
