Excellent Family Stay

Unit was perfect for our family of 4. Had so many essentials in the patio storage area for the beach that we didn’t need to purchase ( chairs, umbrella, coolers, toys). Would definitely recommend this place.

This condo was exactly what we wanted for our vacation. On the beach, close to local merchants, a pool on property for evening swims, and a well-stocked kitchen for quick meals in. It over-delivered on decor…the pics are outdated…the decor has been updated with new grey wall paint, a farm-house, white dining table that seats 6, bar seating for 4, and a wooden feature wall with an in-wall fireplace below the TV - BEAUTIFUL! We also appreciated the 5 beach chairs and coolers in the balcony closet. We added an 8.5’ beach umbrella to the collection, which saved us nearly 50 a day on renting beach loungers & umbrellas from the local vendor. This was the perfect spot for our family to make memories!

Great vacation

Property was just as listed. Condo was well stocked, including beach towels and a cooler. Great ocean view from balcony and just a few steps to the beach. Our only issue was with the elevators. There was only 2 and 1 was out of service the entire week. The remaining elevator was also broken for 2 days leaving steps as the only option.

The pictures need to be updated on VRBO site. The photos do not accurately depict the suite. I had looked forward to the bright, yellow family room and beach vibes. Instead we got basic gray walls and a wooden backsplash behind the tv that makes you dizzy when looking at the screen. It looked so different than the picture, that I wondered if we had been given the wrong condo. WiFi was not working the first 3 days and the drier took hours and hours and hours to dry a small load of clothes and yes lint trap was checked and cleaned with each load. Also there was an issue with the toilet in the master suite and it wouldn’t stop running. Despite all of these annoyances…the view from the balcony was worth every minor issue…the gorgeous ocean, the beautiful lower patio & pool.That view sells the place, hands down!!! Overall the suite was clean and well maintained, just not what I had expected.

Sandy Days at Sand Castle

We loved the location along Gulf Blvd. and the proximity to the ocean and several restaurants. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay(spent a great deal of time on the balcony too). I'm always trying to find lodging that has hot tubs and this one did have one along with a nice heated pool.

Great place to stay.

The condo had great access to the beach. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the waves when not on the beach. It is a quiet area near Clearwater. Caddy's was a easy walk across the street to grab an appetizers, dinner and/or drinks.

This updated and well-stocked condo was just the right size for our family and had a large deck overlooking the ocean. The room was just steps away from the beach and pool. Everyone we met was super friendly. We loved this property and are considering returning again.

Very nice stay!

The condo was nicely decorated and the view was perfect! There were plenty of items stocked in the kitchen so very little was needed since we knew we are not doing a lot of cooking. They had beach chairs and towels and toy for the younger ones. Overall it was a great week and we would definitely return!

Beautiful place!

This condo is lovely- just as shown in the photos. The view of the beach/ocean can't be topped. The kitchen had everything you'd ever need and the "beach stuff" closet was totally stocked. The only suggestion we'd have is to get the beach umbrella replaced but that's just one very small suggestion. We loved our stay.
