Vistas on the Gulf is a 38 unit condo built on St. Pete Beach in 2003. If you've never been here, the beach is a great place for families, quiet and relaxing. We are the original owners of unit 301 and spend as much time as possible there, it has become our oasis! The gulf front view is just incredible, not only during the day, but look at our pictures to see some of the spectacular sunsets and rainbows we've seen!
The unique thing about our unit is that we have two balconies--a large balcony directly facing west to the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Another balcony is off the second bedroom and faces south. This view gives you a great pool view and a beautiful gulf view. One of the nice features of our condo, is that you can walk right out to the beach and can enjoy several beach restaurants/bars and never even have to put on your shoes!
Each unit is individually owned and we have added many personal touches. Master bedroom has a queen bed with a new premium mattress purchased in July '09 and other bedroom has a bunk bed with ladder twin mattress top full mattress bottom purchased Dec '11. The living room also has a double sized sofa-sleeper. As nice as the unit is, you'll most likely be enjoying the beautiful beach and weather outside! New power leather recliner and carpets purchased Septemebr 2011. New air conditioning system installed March 2011.
We clean, upgrade and replace items during each of our 4 visits each year. We take great pride in our condo and believe in putting money back into it to keep it fresh, updated and desireable. We love repeat guests.

2BR/2BA Vistas 301 True Gulf Front 100% Beach & Gulf View
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose St. Pete Beach
We love St. Pete Beach! My wife's grand parents and parents have been visiting since the 40's. SPB is totally laid back.
Tee shirts, shorts and flip flops is the dress code there. I always say SPB is more like Key West then Palm Beach. Relax and leave your tux and evening wear at home. Our kids are always safe. We never have an issue with them walking on the beach day or night. Not to worry Mom and Dad, no wet tee shirt contests going on here. This is a great family place.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
St Pete Beach has beautiful white sand beaches. It has a relaxing laid back feeling to it.
Enjoy a leasure walk along the beach or pick up the pace and run while enjoying the surf, sun and realxing atmosphere.
Don't forget to smile and say hello to the other walkers and runners as they greet you.
Enjoy the many beach side and casual restaurants near my condo. We keep a magnetic listing of our favorites on our refrigerator.
Publix Super Market is 1/4 mile north of us on Gulf Blvd, easy to walk to. There is a trolley (bus) stop in front of our building for easy traveling up and down Gulf Blvd.
You'll love my unit as everyone does as you'll see in the guest comment book we keep in our living room. You won't be disappointed.

Even though there was construction going on next door, we still totally enjoyed our stay in the condo. The view is spectacular. We found great restaurants close by. The property is well-maintained and so is the condo. The owner called to make sure everything was ok. I am sure the construction has been completed next door. So, if you get the chance stay in this wonderful, relaxing Gulf front unit.
Owner response:Thanks so much for your review! Our guests are important to us. Just wanted to comment that as of the end of December, 2007, the construction is about over, and what little they have left to do seems to be "inside" work. Thanks again for your comments!

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful condo! We loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the beach activity, and.every morning we took a long walk on the beach. It is very close to some excellent restaurants, several have become our favorites. The condo is very attractive and clean, and we couldn't have been more comfortable. The owner called to make sure we were happy with the condo and we appreciated his concern. We definitely want to come back.. We have been coming down to St. Pete's Beach for 35 years and it is one of the nicer places that we have stayed.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Our stay was on Feb 27, 2011 thru Mar 5, 2011. We had a wonderful time. The condo was very clean, and contained all you would need for your stay. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. He even called to ask if everything was OK with the condo. The view was GREAT ! We enjoyed watching the dolphins play in the gulf from the balcony several times over the course of our stay. I would stay there again. Highly recommended!

Spent a "girls weekend" at this gorgeous condo...and would recommend it to anyone looking for awesome accommodations in this fun, fun town. Easily accessible to the airport...and once you're there...within walking distance to shopping...restaurants...and the liquor store!! Everyone enjoyed the amazing sunsets from the balcony, along with the pool, hot tub...and shelling each morning on the beach. Would go back in a flash!!! Highly recommended!
