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.

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.

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

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.

The property's interior was lovely and comfortable, and the location was perfect for us. We could not use the hot tub because it was being repaired and the bicycles were unavailable.

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!

House is perfect!

Don't be scared off by a few of the mediocre reviews. This house is awesome! You have sunken garden on one side of the street and crescent lake park at the other end. Tons of restaurants that you can walk to. 5 min drive to the heart of downtown and the St. Pete pier. The house is spacious, the beds were so comfy they were hard to get out of in the morning! Like sleeping on a cloud! The ac was nice and cold (super important when visiting in July!) And the jacuzzi hot tub looked great and was in good working order. I was looking forward to using the jacuzzi but the outside heat made it less tempting but we are already planning a trip back with the family. I plan to thoroughly enjoy the jacuzzi then! Scott was a very attentive host. Checked in with us several times and was available if we needed anything, which we did not. The house had everything! Book here, you will not be disappointed!

West Coast Vacation

The property was clean and very comfortable. Even though a tropical storm went through the night before, Scott was able to have the property available for our regular check in. The location made a great base camp for our adventures in the Snt Pete, Sarasota & Tarpon Springs area.
