Christine was very easy to work with. Location and description of room and nearby activities were spot-on.If looking for something remote and semi secluded but close to many bigger cities this is a great place. If want your own beachfront/pier/pool you will not go wrong with this place.

We enjoyed this peaceful retreat while in town for Pittsburgh Pirates spring training. It’s a couple miles off of the main road so very little traffic, no noise and tons of amenities in the community.

Beautiful resort!

This resort has everything you need! Beach, 2 pools, 2 restaurants, and we saw dolphins every day and manatees! It was the easiest check in process and Ginny (server) at the sunset grill made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!

The property was everything it advertised. Location was good.Furnishings were also good. The fishing pier was an exceptional addition. The only negative we have is the lighting is insufficient. The condo is on the dark side of the building so some additional lighting, maybe strip lights in the ceiling would be very helpful.

This property is in a Beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to fishing pier, pool, and 2 restaurant. The only thing I didn't like was the cleanliness of the rental. There was trash left in the kitchen and bathroom, there was also a coffee pod left in the coffee machine. The bathroom was very dirty I stepped on the rug and it was full of dirt the shower curtain is full of soap scum and mold. The tiles of the shower still had hair and black stuff stuck to it and the soap dispensers had brown stuff caked on where the soap is supposed to come out of. I will say that I did tell the host about the trash and she was very apologetic I honestly don't think the host knows that the cleaners are just not doing a good job. My family and I enjoyed our stay even with the extra mess.

Overall property was clean and maintained well.All furnishings were dark Wood which made the whole unit very dark even with drapes open. Information (menus, etc)Needs to be updated. We were only supplied with 1 roll if toilet paper. I think this was an oversight. Overall host takes care of property and us very responsive. Good host

A multi-week stay in Christine's condo was the perfect way to begin 2026, and escape northern cold! But months before my arrival, I was sure I had made a great selection - Christine's responses to my questions via VRBO messages were made very quickly. She clearly communicated all the information I needed, from payments to parking.Once on-site, it was obvious there was ample parking spaces. Once inside the condo, by entering with a keypad code, it was clear I had plenty of room to relax, do some office-type work, and enjoy the view. The balcony for the second-floor unit was one of my favourite spots. A couple of hundred yards to the right was Tampa Bay. Straight ahead were those daily gorgeous sunsets.The location was of the unit/building was great. It was literally across a small pathway from the Hooks restaurant, and a very short walk over to the Sunset Bar & Grill. I also spent a lot of afternoon time at the outdoor pool, also barely a two-minute stroll from my unit.I don't cook gourmet meals, and I was travelling solo. Perhaps with kids in tow, and if I wanted to spend a lot of time cooking, the smallish kitchen area would have been a challenge. But for my needs, it was fine.The bathroom was a good size, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the entire unit was very clean. And, so quiet. I've never before stayed in a condo and resort area that was this quiet and peaceful. Overall the condo contributed to a very memorable January!
