Gulf Winds Resort holiday lettings

The starting point is the location. Directly across the street from the beach and a small beach cafe/restaurant which is the beach's main access point and therefore has all the amenities you might need food/drink/sunloungers and gazebo type structures. The beach is a wonderful clean public beach and the water shallow enough for toddlers and warm enough to spend as long as you want without feeling cold. All this right on your doorstep. The accommodation itself is quite small - the two bedrooms were quite tight for space - there were seven of us - four adults, an infant, a six and a sixteen year old, but is was more than adequate for us (and absolutely in line with the description) if sometimes the use of a single bathroom did require a queuing system! There is a large fridge freezer, microwave, cooker and kettle - and handy communal laundry facilities which are operated by credit card (and possibly cash). The accommodation looks on to the pool and is a 10 step walk away. There is a single car parking space with the booking, but we were able to negotiate a second one once we arrived, although I think we were lucky here. There is public parking right next to the accommodation which whilst expensive could be used if necessary for a second vehicle. The owner was extremely responsive to queries and both she and the on site manager could not have been nicer or more accommodating. This is a five star property due to its location and the people who rent and run it. Thank you.

A very clean, tidy and well maintained property. Looks to have been recently completely decorated. Some lovely wall art. We have now stayed in 3 different Gulf Winds apartments and this was by far the best. Could not get closer to the beach than this. Well equipped having everything we needed for our stay. Only slight downside was that the refrigerator was noisy when switching on in the night but we got used to it after a couple of days or so and then did not notice it. Excellent for a couple wanting to chill whilst being ideally situated for visiting local sites. Buses run from nearby both up and down the coast as well as to St Petersburg and are great value. Also close to other places we like to visit (Fort DeSoto, Anna Maria, Gulfport and various State parks). Plenty of choice of places to eat nearby. Hopefully we will be able to come back again in a couple of years. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary the day before departure and it will remain in our memories forever. Thanks to the hosts for allowing us to stay

Nice apartment next to beach. Clean and comfortable place. Only slight negitive is wifi strength which was pretty poor. Property manager responded quickly to any message i sent. Would certainly return!
