We stayed in this condo for 1 1/2 month while our house was being renovated. First, let me say the pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this immaculate condo. The view is probably the best in the area. This condo is so well appointed; you will not need anything. All is supplied, from appliances to beach towels. The beds are very comfortable, there are plenty of linens, the laundry room is well equiped and care and concern for the comfort of tenants is visible throughout. One thing that impressed us also is how visibly happy everybody we met were - relaxed, smiling, friendly. Mel and Barbara are the perfect hosts. From this condo you can walk to the beach (1 mile), go for dinner on foot, enjoy brunch at the beautiful club, sun yourself at the pool. 30 minutes from Tampa airport and near major interstates, this quiet oasis is unequaled. We live in this area and can assure you you will not want to leave at the end of your stay. Trust us, come see for yourself what an incredible rental this is. DEFINITELY UPSCALE, well maintained complex. Lots of green spaces. Peaceful water views, dolphins swimming, fish jumping...a therapeutic environment. We definitely would return and do not hesitate to recommend this unit.

Owner response:THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR STAY IN OUR CONDO. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU RETURN SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE

Mel the owner was what I should expect; polite, helpful, pleasant and friendly. Made us feel at home throughout our stay. We would certainly stay again and, even pass the wonderful experience along to other friends...............

A Taste of Paradise Condo

This condo is everything that is advertised and more. This 4th floor condo has a breathtaking view of the bay. The condo is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The landlord has strict rules against smoking and because of it the condo has been kept in great shape. I would rhighly recommend this property and am looking forward to returning next season. La Puerto is quiet. There are plenty activities just across the bridge in St. Pete Beach.

Linda and I have vacationed in this area many times, but none of the places we have stayed comes close to the beauty and location of Mel and Barb's Condo. Stay and enjoy the pool/fantastic Condo or the beaches-shopping-restaurants-fun Parks. All are good choices. ENJOY!!

We HIGHLY reccommend a stay at this lovely condo. It is exquisitely furnished with so many "little extras" provided. The view of the bay shore is magnificent with entertainment provided by the dolphins. The unit is immaculate and extremely comfortable. Mel and Barb are the most accommodating and thoughtful hosts. We will surely return for another visit.

Our recent stay in Mel and Barb's condo was truly a slice of heaven. The area is absolutely beautiful and close to just about any activity desired in a vacation wonderland. The view from the balcony is breath taking and peaceful. The condo is very comfortable and well equipped with all the comforts of home. Can't wait until our next visit.

My Family and I immensely enjoyed our two week stay in a beautiful environment. Barb and Mel are very gracious and accomodating hosts. Easy access to the interstate is a time saver - and watching the Porpoises from the deck each morning was incredible. We hope to stay again next year - and I highly recommend Barb and Mel as hosts.

Wonderful, clean, large condo with a beautiful view, big, clean pool. The location is close to everything but tucked away in peace and quiet. Thanks for sharing a slice of paradise Mel and Barbara!

Our stay at your condo was wonderful. Twice as nice as a hotel, twice as large and less expensive. The condo was beautifully furnished and had every amentity necessary. The views were amazing. It was great to wake up to dolphins swimming by your windows, pelicans diving for fish and ending the day with beautiful sunset. We would stay again at Mel's condo and highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay at a luxury condo.

We spent a month in this unit and plan to return next year. It is beautifully furnished, very well maintained and the view is incredible. Good location, quiet area but close to beaches and numerous good restaurants. Close, easy access to Interstate for travel. Did I mention the view is incredible?

We have stayed at Isla delSol many times. The condo is always spotlessly clean, the view magnificant, and the owners are wonderful people. You can't beat having a golf course on one side and the gulf on the other side. We would highly recommend it.

We have stayed in condos from the Caymans to the Carolinas and rate this unit one of the best by far. The unit itself is very well cared for and in excellent condition. The view is dramatic, directly overlooking the water and the grounds on which the condo is located is extremely well cared for. The pool and hot tub were not only working correctly, but were also well maintained. Finally, the location gives access to many beaches within only minutes. As a result of the above, we will not hesitate to return and would recommend that others not hesitate to rent as well.
