The owners were very helpful with our stay. The condo was well appointed. It was also nice to have the windows open and listen to the surf at night.

Lovely Condo with excellent Location

We spent the month of Dec., 2010, at this lovely, tastefully decorated condo. All was there that one might need. Each day we spent relaxing on the beach, as well as taking in some of the many activities available in the area, always making it back to the condo in time to enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the condo's balcony each evening. Our daughter + her family were able to visit us over the Christmas holidays + our grandchildren enjoyed collecting a wide variety of sea shells on the beach, finding an occasional sharks's tooth, as well as day trips to Kennedy Space Center + Disney World. They also enjoyed seeing a lighted boat parade, visiting the Florida aquarium, which included a "touch tank" of stingrays + baby sharks, touring the U.S. Navy American Victory Ship, souvenir shopping + dolphin watching at John's Pass Village, + seeing the pelicans at St. Petersburg Pier and manatees at Apollo Beach. There are also numerous museums in the area of art, science, history, and the Chihuly + Dali Museum exhibits. Several state parks are within a short driving distance with beaches named in Dr. Beach's list of top beaches in the United States. Many excellent restaurants are closeby, serving the "fresh catch" of the day. One can see there is plenty to keep one busy, if one desires. The Munsons were very pleasant + most helpful, since this was our first experience with renting from a VRBO owner. We highly recommend this condo for its pristine condition, situated on a beautiful beach, its central location to the areas of Clearwater, St. Pete + Tampa and its convenient proximity to a wide variety of enjoyable indoor + outdoor activities available nearby + in the surrounding area.

Owner response:We are happy to know that you found our beach-front home so delightful. We understand what you mean about enjoying the beautiful sunsets from our balcony - they really are amazing! We're glad you had such a positive experience renting from us and that you appreciated the pristine condition. As you now know, it isn't just a place we rent; it is our home and we want everything to be great for us and for our renters. Thank you for the recommendation and thank you for taking good care of our home. I hope you will return to enjoy it again!

We had a wonderful month here... It was as described, actually even better, because no new pictures were available since the re-modeling, The owner was very accomodating, and answered all of our questions. It was quiet, and at times we had the pool all to ourselves. The same for the beach, we were there the month of July, and even the week of the fourth, except for that weekend, the beach was usually not very crowded at all, we would "set up" right behind the condo. Now for my favorite part, the fishing.. There is a small private pier that belongs to the condo next door. Of course it is for their use, but you can still fish from the beach right under and around it.. It provides cover, and attraction for a wide variety of fish. I caught an 8 pound Snook the second day we were there, also during our stay I caught Redfish, Spainish Mackerel, rays, and catfish..I only got to stay the first 8-9 days of the month and the last 10, but my wife was there the whole month, with each of our 3 grown children, dropping in for a week or so stay at staggerred times. It is nicely decorated, and if we get to stay another month in the future, I will definately contact Randall first. Randall had a contact that is a permanent resident on the same floor to assist us if we needed anything, which was re-assuring. It was a great time and I would highly reccomend it. Its an easy drive from the St.Pete/Clearwater airport, and the Beach shuttle bus runs by at least every 30 minutes, you could get by nicely even withoug a car.

Owner response:We are glad you were delighted with your stay at our home on the beach! I'm pleased to hear that your fishing on our beach was so successful. On the beach and on our balcony we often watch dolphins and people fishing. It's always fun to see them pull in big fish and watch all the water birds gather around for the excitement (and the hope for a free meal.) You are right that around the pier is a great spot to fish. We've made more improvements to our home. You should see it now! I hope you will be return to enjoy it again.

Nous avons grandement apprécié notre séjour dans ce condo .L'emplacement est idéal et pittoresque. Le condo était très accueillant,propre et agréablement meublé.Nous nous sentions chez-nous. Les personnes dans l'établissement étaient très accueillantes et discrètes. Nous avons trouvé que le propriétaire était intéressé à notre comfort et était disponible en cas d'urgence. Nous n'hésitons pas à recommander ce condo à ceux qui aiment marcher le long de la plage, admirer le soleil couchant et entendre le bruit des vagues. Highly recommended without any hesitation.

Owner response:For those who don't read French, here is an English translation: "Enchanting We greatly enjoyed our stay in this condo. The location is ideal and picturesque. The condo was very friendly, clean and nicely furnished. We felt at home. People in the building were very friendly and not at all bothersome. We found that the owner was interested in our comfort and was available in an emergency. We do not hesitate to recommend this condo for those who enjoy walking along the beach, admiring the sunset and hearing the sound of the waves. Highly recommended without any hesitation." We often hear people say we have the most beautiful sunsets in the world. We never tire of watching the beauty of the sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico - sometimes seeing dolphins play. We are always attentive to make sure everything is clean and especially well furnished so we are delighted that you liked it. My wife and I hope that you will be one of those who return again and again to enjoy our home on the beach.

I have had the pleasure of staying at this condo a few times. It is located on a beautiful part of the white sandy Gulf beaches and is just minutes away from fantastic food, fun and shopping. There's a lot to do in the Tampa Bay area, and this condo is just about in the perfect spot to get to all of it with very little hassle, not to mention Orlando being less than 2 hours away. The owners recently updated most of the interior of the condo and it is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to go back!

Owner response:We're glad you enjoyed staying in our beach home! . W're also glad to hear you think the interior is "absolutely gorgeous". We poured a lot into remodeling so we're pleased when others like what we've done to make it a special place. Come again!
