Our host was most accommodating. Workers had made it to his condo and it was unavailable when we arrived. He made arrangements with his neighbor to use one of hers. It was great.

This location is just right if you are not looking for the life style of the rich and famous. It is a modest, two bedroom, two bathroom condo with plenty of room. While the view is a little obstructed, you are just steps away from sitting on the beach. The owner provides equipment for spending a day at the beach with chairs, umbrellas, toys, cooler and a wagon to haul it. The location is in a safe and quiet area yet close to Clearwater, St. Pete and Tampa. There are some great restaurants and bars only minutes away.If you are looking for an inexpensive getaway that is somewhat secluded but close to everything, this is your place.

3-Week stay in Feburary

My first impression when I walked in was "delightful!". The unit is spacious and bright and literally is just steps from the beach. We were very comfortable there. The deck is very nice, with a view of the Gulf. Biggest weakness is that the unit sits behind the owner's house so the view of the Gulf is partially obscured. Overall, we look forward to staying there again.

Great location at the beach

This is our second stay at this property, and we enjoyed it very much. It was nice to be so close to the beautiful ocean, which is the main reason we chose it. The balcony has a partial sea view, and we ate most of our meals out there... loved the ocean sounds and sea breezes! There are restaurants and other businesses close by... it's a good location for sure.

What an amazing trip! The condo fit our needs perfectly. We loved that it was just steps from the beach. We took advantage of the storage room w beach chairs, floaties and even a wagon to take it all to the beach. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Can’t wait to go back!
