Beach Condo ~ Olympic Sized Pool

Location is on Gulf Blvd which is very busy thus traffic noise all the time. The best feature is the intercoastal waterway at the back which is pretty quiet with just some boat traffic . This unit cannot sleep 4 people, only 2, as the futon is lacking even for 1 person. There was a problem getting the key initially as the cleaning staff hadn't put it in the lockbox and I spent the first day cleaning the unit's kitchen, floors and large patio door window. I had to track down my own cleaning supplies to add to the insult. The A/C did not work and cookware and utensils were insufficient. The beach chairs were old and rusted out so I had to borrow one from friends in another unit. The condo owner did not respond to my complaints or apologize. I would not rent this unit again. There are other rentals in the same complex that are better maintained and equipped for the same or lower cost.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The location was wonderful. The apartment was small, but clean and had everything we needed. All of the neighbors were very welcoming and friendly. Saw plenty of dolphins, manatees, fish, stingrays, and birds every morning while having coffee.

Overall nice place to stay very small. Can fish out back in the canal

We stayed at this condo in July of 2018 and had a wonderful time. The beach is directly across the street and not crowded at all like Clearwater or St. Pete's. The pool is also a plus! We did experience an issue with the A/C the first evening we were there but it was quickly resolved. Pros: has all towels, dishes, bedding, etc. we needed; huge pool and beach right across the street; reasonably priced; owners are easy to contact and helpful. Cons: needs some fixing up (A/C and toilet are finnicky); no Tupperware or plastic baggies to take snacks to-go; no salt, pepper, or oil/spray for cooking so be sure to get these if you purchase groceries. Except for a few, restaurants and shops are not really within walking distance, which can be a pro and a con. This is definitely not a crowded, touristy area so if you're looking for some peace and quiet and less hustle-and-bustle then this is a great choice!

This was the first time we used a VRBO and we had a very positive experience. The condo was a bit small for myself and three kids, but the location by the beach and fishing options out back made it worth it. It was a very busy area with people fishing, smoking, or playing music outside most of the time we were there, but it was nice and quiet inside. That’s just a roll of the dice based on other vacationers. My only complaint would be the oven dial had no numbers (worn off) which made an oven cooked meal not possible. The pool was closed our last day, but we enjoyed it when it was open.

The owners were easy to contact and supplied the condo very nicely. We will certainly look to return to this beautiful area.
