The host did a very nice job of maximizing the limited space with fun decorating and smaller useful items. The access was easy and the neighborhood was quiet. The host left instructions of local hospitals if there was a need and offered beach towels, sunscreen, and aloe vera. The only reservation we experienced was a slight smokey smell, especially in the bathroom (especially on the towels) but not enough to deter us from potentially staying there again. :)

Affordable, and Convenient

If you are looking for a place large enough for light cooking , comfortable sleep , an ample tv viewing area , and enough green space to take your pets out as needed , this place is a gem . It is within five to ten minutes of shopping , several beaches, tons of restaurants, and great parks. The communication between the owner and lodgers is top notch . She is hospitable and goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best it can be. Highly recommend!

Easy check-in, great quiet neighborhood for walking and yet very near Tyrone mall for shopping.Appreciate the parking spot and private entrance with motion light for visibility at night.Living space was clean and pleasantly laid out.Sink area just outside bathroom is a bit narrow for a larger person but okay for us.Windows have lace curtains but could use a shade for room darkening/ sleeping/privacy.(I clipped up my own Turkish towels to darken the room)Bed is firm with a topper for comfort.AC worked well with additional ceiling fan.Electric Stovetop (no oven access) and microwave helped us prepare simple breakfast meals. Note: coffee mugs in kitchen are NOT microwaveable! Gold on handles will heat up as I found out heating up my coffee! Host was friendly and available if needed but respectful of privacy.Would I return? Absolutely!! Very peaceful property.

Nice place for a quick visit

I was visiting family in the St. Petersburg area. The location of this VBRO was perfect for my needs. The place was small, but just what we needed. The neighborhood was quiet, and my husband was able to walk to a local restaurant to watch sports. I like the tv options, and watched a few shows on Netflix. They could use a new remote control, because some things had to be handled directly on the TV. Everything else was fine.
