Nice location with easy check in!

Great location and view. You can see the Gulf from the kitchen, patio and bedroom windows. Although the condo is a little dated, it is stocked with everything you need. Very accommodating. King mattress needs to be replaced, but everything else was very nice. Very clean and tidy. Also furnished well. The pool and hot tub were great and all codes and instructions were perfect and easily accessible. The location offers tons of places to go and things to do. Great restaurant recommendations too.....absolutely loved Salt Rock Grille. Thank you for the great getaway.

Beautiful view, easy walk to several restaurants, super clean. It’s a bit dated but it was perfect for 2 people. We liked the quick walk to the beach, the elevator, and the fact that it’s next to the public beach so we could rent cabanas and lounge chairs.

Great location and value for money

We had a great time and the location is ideal for a beach holiday. The condo had everything we needed and felt very much like a home. We extended our stay by one day as we had such a good time. We would stay here again if visiting St Pete’s in future.

Great location and property with beautiful beach!

We loved the location due to beach proximity and in an area dominated by super tall buildings yet close to everything. All the condos face the beach, which was nice. The property was as described and comfortable.

Condo Review

Check in was easy and communication good. There were long hairs in the bathroom and bed room and the couch was uncomfortable and very dated. The table on the balcony wobbles and had to put a sandal underneath a leg to be able to set drinks on it and not worry about spilling them.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
The first impression is that the unit is in serious need of an update! There was not 1 piece of furniture that was comfortable or very clean. (we covered the couch with towels because it had an odor) The bedding looked like it had just been pulled out of the hamper, unwashed and there were stains on the sheets. (photos attached) The kitchen was sparsely stocked with mismatched items that seemed like garage sale leftovers. The shower door was off the track, so I had to fix that. The screen doors out to the balcony don't move (not a difficult fix with the necessary parts, but I wasn't about to be working on my vacation) all in all we had a good time at St. Pete Beach, the worst part was coming back to this place every night. Had we seen it in person before booking, we would have DEFINETLY went elsewhere, and no, we won't be back.
The bed when we arrived.
Looks like a dog has been sleeping on this for the past 10 years
If you can't do proper laundry, then buy a new set of sheets! EWW!

Terrific Location

The location is near everything along St. Pete Beach. My wife and I easily walked the length of the beach during our stay. The condo was clean and tidy. Had an issue with the washing machine which was attended to almost immediately.
