Vacation Rentals by Owner

GREAT TIME FOR FAMILY FUN!

Date of Stay: 03/10/12 Review Submitted: 03/26/12

Our son and his family joined us for a week at this unit, and we had a great vacation. the granddaughters loved the pool and of course more sand than they could use in a week's stay. The owner (Carol) was very helpful and quick to respond to all questions before booking and she met us personally at the unit the first day. Two bedrooms and two full baths make this ideal for many situations. We would recommend this rental.

Owner response:Thanks, Sue. It was our pleasure to have you and your family as guests and loved that the girls referred to their room as the "princess" room. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Had a wonderful time at this beautiful condo on the beach! Great location, within walking distance from several great restaurants (We loved Spinners! Great prices and view!) The place was clean, well kept, and had all the amenities of home. The owners were wonderful to work with and had great communication throughout the whole process. Highly recommended. Hopefully we'll be back soon.

Owner response:We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. We love knowing that our guests enjoy the condo and this great area we are lucky enough to now call home. We look forward to your group's return!

I absolutely loved staying at this fantastic two-bedroom condo right on the beach! The condo itself was great: comfortable beds, a kitchen supplied with all of our needs, beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, even toys,) multiple televisions, wireless internet, quiet, and lots of space. (Enough for us to do aerobics in the living room!) The beach and the area are beautiful and there are great places to eat nearby. The owners really went out of their way to make sure that our stay was enjoyable and we had everything we needed. I've been telling everyone I know about this rental and I know we plan on going back!

Owner response:Can't thank you enough for your kind words and hope to see you all back soon! It is a great place for a quick girls getaway.

This was our 3rd time at Vistas and can't wait to go back next year. It is our little treasure. This unit is very clean, and has everything you need to feel at home. It also has a great view of the water and sunset. Our hosts, Carol and Dave, are extremely accommodating. Our thanks to them for sharing their home with us.

Owner response:We LOVE our repeat guests! It was good to have you back again this year and hope to see you again next May. We hope you enjoyed the changes we made to the place since your last visit.

Great place, great weather. View of the pool and Gulf was beautiful. Great balcony to sit out and relax. Beds were comfortable, and 3 TV's didn't hurt! Little things like beach chairs and toys made the stay all the more easy. All pots and pans needed were included. Walk right out to nice pool and the Gulf. Owners were easy to deal with and friendly. On-site property manager was very helpful as well. We will be back!

Owner response:Glad you enjoyed your stay, Jay. We do our best to make all of our guests happy and hope to see them come back. We welcome your return.

We stayed in this beautiful condo for four weeks, from January 29th till February 25th, 2011. The condo has an ideal location. It is within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, grocery and drug stores. Public transportation is very convenient. We found the building to be well managed and very quiet. The owners, Carol and David live locally and manage the condo. This is definately an advantage as they are available for any help or information that might be needed. It is clear that they have given the condo special attention and care. Hopefully all their guests will appreciate this as much as we did. The condo is very clean. It has had recent extra attention that involved new carpeting in the bedroom, new drapes in the windows, and a through cleaning of all the tile in the condo. The kitchen is convenient and well equipted. The couch in the living room is very comfortable and is located in front of a new thin screen television. The bedrooms also have televisions making them all that more comfortable. A visitors guide is available that cites good resturants and activities in St. Pete Beach. The condo is most convenient to a very good elevator. We recommend the condo with great enthusiasm. We feel certain your stay in St. Pete Beach will be more rewarding if you have this location as your residence.

Owner response:Thanks, Don, for your wonderful review. You and Jan were dream guests & took such good care of our lovely condo. We look forward to seeing youu both back down here on our beautiful beach. All the best ~ Carol

Winter Get Away

Date of Stay: 01/12/11 Review Submitted: 01/19/11

My husband and I came down with my brother and his wife for a winter get away. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The weather did not cooperate with us for beech time but there was so much to do in the area we kept busy the whole time. Pool and hot tub are heated and we could use them even when the temperature dipped down to the 30's. It was a wonderful week away. Thank you very much, Joe and Jody

Watched the sky explode with fireworks

Guest: Robin
Date of Stay: 12/26/09 Review Submitted: 02/27/10

Tonight we watched the sky explode with fireworks and enjoyed a bonfire a few doors down. The weather has been chilly but we did have a few good beach days! We took a day trip to the Lowry Zoo in Tampa and were able to use our MN zoo pass to get in for free. We had a great pizza from Buona Pizza for delivery and enjoyed GiGi's and PJ's seafood. The pool was like bathwater and our three little girls were like mermaids swimming for hours each day. We did some great shopping and really enjoyed spending our Christmas Break here. Thank You! Dave, Robin & girls Elk River, Minnesota

We were thankful for such a nice place to meet and celebrate our holiday. Weather was changable but the pool was always warm! Dinner at Feetishes is exceptional for special meal. Don't miss lunch at Spinners Revolving Restaurant (near by) atop Grand Plaza Hotel - GREAT view - once around does lunch!

Had a great two weeks. Loved the accommodations. Love St. Pete Beach - the best in the USA. For other guests; Publix for key lime pie and almost anything, Land and Sea Market for meat, seafood. Snappers for a great dinner & Beachcomber (2 doors south) for happy hours and great hamburger! Super stay for two weeks. Golf at Mangrove Bay quite acceptable for a municipal course. Hope to return again to enjoy the beach & the sunsets. Ian and Donna
