Gulf views! 2 Bedroom vintage condo - Third/Top Floor. FN #205

ACT Vacation Rentals presents: Friendly Native #205

A unique third floor 2 bedroom condo with gulf views. You can enjoy the day and relax watching the sunset. (3rd floor unit - no elevator)

***Please READ****: this condo is a bit dated. Window treatment & all furnishings are older, we like to ensure guests know this before booking. Please see the pictures. We have many units in the same building that are fresh and updated, but this is NOT one of them. The price reflects this. It's a good deal for an older unit. If you want modern & updated, we can provide you other links in the same building to check out for a little more money. If you are okay with 'retro beachy cottage style, no frills, staying at grandma's old beach condo that's a bit out dated' then this place will work fine. No frills people that like camping are a fan of this unit. It definitely does the job for a family beach vacation on a budget. *FYI: Balcony is not available for use, roof is under construction.

Retro beachy vibe condo with cable TV and Wi-fi included. Great views, excellent location! A queen bed in one bedroom, 2 twin beds in the second bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living room.

Perfect location, right across from the beach and close to a ton of shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. Very walkable. The pool is right downstairs, nice rooftop deck to enjoy the ocean view and sunset. Not a place you want to cook meals or relax at home in, but a perfect place to have a place to sleep, enjoy the beach, pool, dining out, fishing, exploring the areas beaches and everything else the area has to offer. Was great for us and a 7 year old.

Liked: Location
We couldn’t have asked for a more convenient place with the easiest access to everything St Pete had to offer. We were two minutes from the beach with a gorgeous view of the ocean from our patio. We could walk to restaurants and bars, if we didn’t want to drive! (Rick’s Reef and La Croisette were favorites) Would definitely stay here again and we are looking forward to coming back to St Pete later this year.

Like going home to Mamaw’s house:)

The condo is quite rustic, but very comfortable and clean!! Felt like my Mamaws house with the rustic quality and welcoming feeling!! We had 6 with us and although it was small, we all felt comfortable and never felt like we were on top of each other!! We plan to rent it again for our vacation next summer!!
