Fantastic return visit

We stayed here last year and returned as we enjoyed it so much. Whilst the area is still recovering, the apartment is still as good. Ideal location with everything you would need in the apartment. Jim was fantastic and let us know exactly the situation after the hurricane and made our stay great. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Location

Very close to the beach, bars and restaurants. Everything you could need is there with the added bonus of washing machine and dryer in the apartment. The owner kindly contacted us before we arrived telling us about possible work that might happen in the complex and we could cancel if we wished. In the end the work never happened, but we really appreciated the offer. Will hopefully be back.

Stay at St. Pete Beach

Enjoyed our stay at Waves with a nice pool and just a short walk to the lovely beach at Upham. It is a quiet complex and a comfortable unit. The area was hit by the hurricanes but is making a comeback and welcoming visitors.

Great condo for a couple

My wife and I stayed here for the Thanksgiving week to visit family. This condo is in a great location to get to everything you want in St Pete Beach. The kitchen, while small, has everything you need to make great meals. The complex was quiet, although there appeared that only a handful of units were occupied. Easy walk to the beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

Immaculate

This condo was a vacation dream. Everything was close by; the beach and a wide variety of restaurants. The pool right outside our door was an added benefit. We met lots of people and had a fabulous vacation. It was very hot. One day it appeared the air conditioning had gone out. The caretaker had someone out within hours to fix it. We also were departing the day after the software update disaster that affected many airlines. We were allowed to stay past check out time to be sure our flight was not cancelled. Very accommodating!

Close to the beach

We liked that we could walk to the beach and didn’t have to drive and pay to park. The pool was a great temperature! We cooked in the condo quite a bit, and they had pretty much everything we needed for that.

Modern condo in a great location

This modern condo was a short walk to the beach and close to many fun bars and great restaurants. It was also well stocked including a cooler, beach umbrella and beach chairs. The reason we gave four stars for cleanliness is because we were unable to use the pool. It was green. We were told something needed to be repaired. Other than that we would definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect stay

We stayed in this condo in July 2023 for three nights. The condo is located close to beach, restaurants and all the excitement of St Pete's Beach. The condo was bigger in real than it looked on the photos. Very clean and everything what you need was available. Also the pool was nice and sunny whole day long. Would like to thank Jim & Nora for having this property on the rental market! Best regards Dennis from The Netherlands

Visit in St. Pete, Florida

The property well met our expectations. We wanted a place close to the beach; it was a short walk. Additionally, we wanted laundry and kitchen facilities; the unit was updated, nicely. A bonus was the pool, surrounded by beautiful palm trees and bushes. Furthermore, the kitchen and bathroom cabinets/closets were well stocked with a variety of extras, including daily essentials ranging from towels and beach chairs to soaps and spices.
