Beautiful Beachfront Retreat

Nancy Winn, owner, was exceptionally responsive to our needs and wishes. Access to beach towels and beach furniture in the condo was a great plus. I highly recommend this property.

My husband & I have been renters on VRBO for over 25 years with the last 7 being in the Clearwater/St. Petersburg Gulf Beach area. I can honestly say this has been one of the nicest condos we have rented in this area. For us, amenities are important as we tend to be homebodies & this condo has lots! Some that we really appreciated was the beautiful master bathroom with its colorful tiling, large counter top with double sinks, & glass shower that gives you a view of the Gulf while taking a shower - if you leave the bathroom door open. We also appreciated the tropical fans, in condo washer/dryer, private secure internet connection provided by the owners - thanks Nancy & George!, & new large TV in the living room with HDMI connection so we could use Chromecast (we brought this with us) to connect to our home cable service via the internet. And the fantastic Gulf front views from both the living room & master bedroom with their large glass sliding doors & full length deck - which is only available on the 4th floor units! Who was the architect who designed this building with only full decks & views on one floor? Luckily Nancy & George bought this unit on this floor, thus referencing the title of this review.

The covered parking on the Gulf Blvd side under the building is roomy, lighted at night, close to the elevator & protected from the beach wind & sand by a wall that also contains a locked storage closet that is filled with sand & beach equipment & right by the pool entrance on the other side of the wall.

When we did step outside, we really loved the newly replenished & expanded beach front, the swimming pool, club house & grill area, separate wooden patio & manicured grounds.

In the area, we like to frequent the Cafe de Paris Bakery for crepes and baked goods which is just a 10 min drive south on Gulf Boulevard, & Maggie Mae's at the Shoppes on Sand Key just 2 miles north on Gulf Boulevard. My husband loves to frequent the Wagon Wheel flea market in Largo on Saturday mornings so he can get ripe and tasty fruits for the week & find great deals from the flea marketers. Being from the Pennsylvania home area of QVC, I love shopping at it's competitor, the HSN outlet stores for some extremely great bargains. There are several in the 20 min to 1 hour driving area. And being from Pennsylvania, we love that Florida has imported our WaWa's so that we can get our beloved hoagies on Amoroso rolls, Herrs potato chips & access fee free ATM's.

Beautiful direct beach front view on very quiet Sand Key beach. We had a great stay during the month of May. Condo was very well equipped, everything we needed was at our fingertips. Condo was very clean and everything was in great working order. Beds were very comfortable, fast WIFI, new flat screen TVs with ample channels, showers had great water pressure and there were lots of beach chairs and other beach items. Another big perk for this condo is that it is in a low building where it was just a very quick elevator ride (or stair climb) from the 4th floor and you are right on the water. Some other beachfront condos in Sand Key require a much longer walk on the beachfront before you reach the ocean. Owners Nancy and George were great to deal with and very responsive to our questions. We have stayed on Sand Key beach every May for the past 10 years, and this has been one of the top condos to date.

This has been the first time to stay in a rented condo, but it turned to be a great experience. Location is perfect right on the beach facing the Gulf. The unit is clean, well furnished, the kitchen lacked nothing noticeable, the bathrooms are modern and had no lack of towels. We have been well pleased, we think we will repeat our stay in the future in a similar unit.

Thanks to Nancy that made every effort to make us welcome.

We spent the month of March 2018 at this beautiful condo. It is well-equipped, everything top-notch, high quality. Great comfy bed, condo clean as a whistle. Owners were very responsive. Thank you, Nancy & George, we loved it!
