Hello,Scott was great, he met us at the house because the sprinkler was blocking access to the house without getting wet. I wish the house was equally as great! Lots of room in the house but a DEEP CLEANING is desperately needed. Very thick dust on furniture, the shower curtain in the bathroom needs a washing with some bleach and the floors can use the same. The sheets and the towels were clean and fresh. The kitchen was pretty good. IT JUST NEEDS A DEEP CLEANING and than regular upkeep!

Mediocre

By no means was unpleasant but felt but surface level clean. One of the bathroom doors was broken so we got stuck in there multiple times. There wasn’t rly a great selection of mirrors which made it a little difficult to get ready but overall wasn’t bad. The hot tub also wasn’t working which was a bummer. Would be good for a group of friends but not necessarily for a family especially since it was located on a busy road next to a motel.

St. Pete Visit

We were there for my mother’s funeral. It was a very nice house and conveniently located on a quiet street adjacent to a lovely park. We will definitely stay there again when we return to visit family.

Would stay there again

The bungalow is located in the older part of St Petersburg. We liked the location with its proximity to the old town and many restaurants, but on a quiet neighborhood street. The house is well appointed for vacationers. It was well-maintained and comfortable. We would happily stay there again.

Cute house as long as you don’t have any questions for the Host. Thankfully customer support was able to help us out. Water pressure is not great and the hot water kept going out. The place is surface clean, just don’t look too closely. The house is located right next to crescent lake park, a wonderful lake to walk around when there isn’t an arctic blast. Nearest coffee shop is 15 minute walk.

Very comfy!

Can’t wait to go back to this rental! I was so happy and it felt like home beautiful lake with walking path at end of street the main road was close and I had everything I needed close proximity to downtown St Pete. The owner scott was so kind to let me know that a nearby park was having the Christmas tree light up! I was happy also that he was close by if I had any issues that may come up which there wasn’t

Cozy & comfortable home

Thank you Scott. Your home was perfect for our thanksgiving trip. Its close proximity to a beautiful park, many restaurants and the sunken gardens made this trip so much more special. It was so nice to start our mornings with bagels and coffee that you provided and a walk around the park. The bakery across the street is also really yummy! Your home was equipped with more than I needed, lots of towels, throws, pillows. Your beds are heavenly, very comfortable sleep. The house is roomy and the sofa fits everyone comfortably for family movie night. Beach Dr. and the new trendy Art District was a short 5 min drive away. I will definitely stay here again. I'm already missing your place! Thanks again for your hospitality!

Do not stay here

We chose this house because of the location, great reviews and amenities. Scott had no clue we were coming so the house wasn't available when we arrived. Even though we already paid in full. Leaving us in complete shock we had to rent a hotel in downtown Saint Petersburg. Scott had someone come clean the property and we were able to stay the remainder of our trip. The house was really not that clean. It was extremely dusty and the floors were sticky we wore our shoes the whole time. The yard was overgrown, the hot tub was not in service and the laundry room door was stuck so we didn't have access to that either. We were extremely unhappy with our stay which I made known. The last night in the house there was a knock on the back door. We were completely startled since it was 10 PM and a complete stranger. It was someone related to the owner, he handed us flea and bed bug foggers and asked if we would put them out before we left the following morning. He said the cleaning lady found a ton of fleas . We were completely disgusted and packed our belongings and left. If Scott knew there were a ton of fleas he should of never had people staying there as well as bed bugs , seriously. Do not make the same mistake we did

It has Potential

The home was great, but obvious signs of past pets in the home, if you have allergies (which we do, its tough). New fridge, great space, actually had cookware and it was in good condition. Just a little dark and dusty: lights, windowsills, and hot water in the second bathroom was not working. But communication with host was excellent, location was excellent.

Beautiful Property & Great Host

I booked this property 24 hours before the stay for myself, my partner, and my parents. My apartment in the area lost power for over two weeks and my family had a trip booked to visit me. Despite giving such a short notice, the host stayed up late to clean the property for us and everything was excellent! He had the hot tub repaired for us to use and checked on us to make sure everything was going okay. The location was amazing- It is a short distance to the down town attractions including the pier, is across the street from The Sunken Gardens, and a short drive from the local beaches. The host always answers any questions or calls immediately and provided an incredible stay!
