Pictures really don't do this place justice! Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beach condo. We tried both on-site restaurants and can recommend, though we preferred the beach-side one with live music. We spent a whole day on the small, private beach and loved wading chest deep into the warm, quiet water. The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms. Just a little over a 30 minute drive into downtown Tampa was perfect for our concert plans. The local area has several grocery stores within 5-15 minutes. I think the only thing not in the immediate area is actual shopping! Both big box and boutique stores are more than 20 minutes from there which wasn't a big deal for us, as we weren't there to shop, but could be an issue for someone who, say, forgot their bathing suit or even wanted to buy a souvenir. My favourite balcony was off the primary bedroom -- it had a similar view to the one off the living room downstairs but higher and more dramatic. Still, we spent many evenings sitting on the living room balcony and even caught some dolphin and manatee sightings! Individuals with limited mobility will want to strongly consider the number of stairs to both access the condo itself as well as to get from the main to upper level. We found that the interior staircase was also quite steep. Again, not an issue if not for someone with mobility concerns. Highly recommend this well-kept space!
