You couldn’t ask for a much better location to experience St Pete beach and the gulf. Walking distance to the beach, good dining, and Jimmy B’s for live music and drinks. Highly recommend!
Property was clean, comfortable and nice. My family and I enjoyed our stay there. I would recommend this place to others. There was no beach view and the pool on-site was very hot. I felt like a lobster boiling in a pot. Can't blame the individual property owner, but pool is not in a shady place. Also, the property was getting a new roof, so the roofers were quite noisy while relaxing in the pool. We had a concern about the hot water in our shower and the owner came over that next day to check on it. There was no issue with the hot water as we figured it out. Overall very nice place to stay and check in and check out was very easy. Would highly recommend.
We booked very short notice for our trip. The location was nice right off the beach across a parking lot. The pool was heated and enjoyable. Within walking distance to many restaurants and shops, and we also took a freebie ride one evening that takes you where you need.

Beach close byTV and AC did not work despite calls to management
We have stayed in many different condos at The Friendly Native and Gulf Winds over the years. This one was by far the nicest. It is updated with adequate outlets to charge our phones and devices. The kitchen was perfect for cooking family meals. Lots of games in the closet to play. Great location with just a two minute walk to the beach.
Great location to the beach. The property was very clean and very comfortable other than water pressure in the shower as it was not strong enough to wash soap off of your body or shampoo out of your hair. This would be the only issue that would deter me from re booking this property as others complained of the same issue in other locations of the property.

Thanks for the heads up Eric. We shared your review with the owner: they replaced the luxury rainfall shower head with a more traditional shower head that guests might be more used to. Hopefully it helps!
Overall great! Very Easy to get to beach.Parking is easy. It’s near a public beach access. The apartment buildings are old and out dated.the interior of the apartment is clean , modern, and comfortable. The unit is on the third floor with no elevator so not good for limited physical ability. The stairway is narrow and smells musty.
2 minute walk to beach. Can walk to anything you need, 20 restaurants/bars in both directions walking within a mile. Beach restaurants/bars right there. Dont need to Uber around, we rented a car and didn't move it once we got there. Beach had chairs and umbrella rental. It was more than we expected. Beach was nice and clean, police patrol a loy. We had no issues and enjoyed our stay.
Our visit was absolutely perfect! The location of the condo was great! The beach is just a short stroll. Many great restaurants within walking distance. We’d highly recommend Sola and Snappers to the south and Buoy to the North. We are both walkers so walking about a mile to the Publix was an easy walk. There is still several places that are not open due to hurricane Helene but that just gives us another reason to come back! We had an issue with the AC but it was fixed the next morning. Anytime I’d reach out, I received a timely response. The pool was a great place to relax after the beach. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed. We did not do any cooking so I’m not sure if it will have what you need! We’d definitely stay here again!
Newly renovated, close to the beach, great location
The condo has been newly renovated, so all new appliances, flooring, bedding, etc. Kitchen was fully stocked with new cookware and dishes, along with all of the 'extras' you may need such as cooking spray, ziploc, storage containers, etc. We found 3 beach chairs in the closet also which were very useful. The walk to the beach is extremely short, in that you can even walk back to the condo to refill your cooler or use the restroom. Also, the walk to dinner and shopping is easy as well. We loved this place, and would go back if given the opportunity. We originally couldn't find the front entrance so came in the back entrance by mistake which lead to a small stairway. The front entrance is very nicely landscaped, so be sure to go that route when you arrive. Back door is perfect to head to the beach later. Parking was always available and close to the condo.
Overall stay was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Nice beach, clean unit but no plans to stay there again!
The unit was updated and clean. The building was old with no elevator and narrow stairs. No laundry available. We paid a hefty cleaning fee and it was noted in a few places in the unit that we had to load and unload dishwasher and put away or would be fined additional $25. Had to take the trash out and be out of unit on time not a minute later or hefty fines. We did all of above but felt this was a little rude! Also there was an envelope to tip the cleaning people after paying for their service and doing above whereas in most rentals these are not expected!
We had to request fresh sheets and comforter because they didn’t smell clean, the master bed had a weird smell coming from the top left corner the whole week. As well as dirty socks and shorts in one of the drawers, nightstands were super dusty and seem to not have been cleaned in a while. The only extra blanket in a drawer had crusty liquid all over it that was disgusting. We had to wait for new linens to arrive the first night. The rest of the condo was pretty good, kitchen was really nice. The beach chairs could be replaced. Two were camping chairs, one beach chair was broken and the 4th chair was covered in rust. Great pool as well.
