Our condo comfortably sleeps up to seven people, has two four piece bathrooms, and a beautiful unobstructed direct beachfront view from the balcony, living room and the master bedroom.
The two other bedrooms overlook the Inter-coastal waterway with a great view of the sunrise in the East.
We are located in the popular and family-friendly Sandcastle 1 facility exactly halfway between Clearwater and St.Petersburg.
There is a king-size bed in the master bedroom, with its own four-piece ensuite, two double beds in the second bedroom, and a single bed in the third bedroom. The condo is freshly painted and recently updated, tastefully decorated, fully furnished, and comes equipped with a brand new dedicated air conditioning unit, and an in-suite washer, dryer, fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, coffee maker, blender, toaster, electric kettle, kitchen wares, oversized portable fan, and a vacuum cleaner.

The Sandcastle I complex has a large beachside pool and hot tub, together with a games room with ping pong, a book lending library, and free Wireless Internet service in the games room as well.
The beachfront area also has a lush tropical garden and barbeque area with picnic tables overlooking the ocean. Each condo has designated reserved parking and dedicated guest parking on site.
The area has beautiful wide white sand beaches, and is close to dozens of restaurants appealing to all tastes and price-points. There are also several malls and golf courses in the immediate area. Our condo is also a short drive to the sports facilities which host the NFL Buccaneers, the NHL Lightning, and the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team of the American League. Disney World is approximately eighty minutes away by car. Busch Gardens is about a thirty minute drive.
Our condo has seen more than $12,000 worth of upgrades being done in the last 3 months including the installation of laminate hardwood being installed in the master and second bedroom, with the third bedroom having large ceramic tiles which continue throughout the kitchen, living room and bathroom areas of the condo. A fresh coat of paint has been applied throughout the entire condo and a new dishwasher has been installed in the kitchen along with new lighting in the kitchen, bathrooms and hallway, too. New faucets were installed in the kitchen and both bathrooms, as well as new mirrors, towel bars, hooks and toilet paper holders were installed in both bathrooms. New bedding and towels have added to the fresh new look of the whole condo, too!
The unforgettable sunsets off the balcony continue to amaze and delight! Don't miss the chance to enjoy our spectacular 'second home' in Florida!

We really enjoyed our stay in this very nicely decorated and clean condo. Everything we needed was there. The view from the 9th floor is a plus. This is a return visit to this condo complex in 2012. The grounds and pool area are beautiful. Family environment and wonderful people we meet at the pool on vacation as well. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles in either direction. Great restaurant across the street, just sit back on their patio along the intercoastal waterway. The owners of this condo were great to work with. I would highly rcommend this condo and condo property. Recommend driving to downtown St. Petersburg. Great restaurants and beautiful old Florida look. This is the third property we have found and rented through VRBO with great success and wonderful owners. For this property, thanks Trish!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+.

My friends and I absolutely loved the condo, the view, the beach and all of the surroundings. The temperature in the condo stayed pleasantly cool and we loved the spaciousness of the room. But most of all, we loved the pure view of the ocean with absolutely no obstructions. There is nothing quite like eating breakfast or having coffee on the balcony of this unit. It was great therapy for some very busy moms, professionals, and stressed out girls!!! The ONLY downside is not getting to stay forever.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for visiting our Florida home! Glad to hear that you had such a great time. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Everything written in the details of this Condo were right on the mark!!!! Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the nice sunshine and great beach! We really enjoyed our stay and would definately go back again in the future. The condo was clean and well looked after. A nice feature was a binder with everything you need to know about everything in the condo. From appliances to where to eat - all included in a nice binder! Free internet and long distance calling to Canada was a bonus and very much appreciated. Check in and check out was very easy and the staff were friendly. The grounds/pool/hot tub are beautiful and well kept! Can't say enough about this condo and it's location.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+.
Owner response: We're so glad that our condo and it's location delivered everything you were looking for in a holiday home. We hope you can come back soon!
