Management was very responsive to our needs. The toaster was not working and they replaced it the same day! Booking of our stay and refund of our deposit was very smooth. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you! ##### Margarita P.

The house itself could really do with some updates, the master bedroom in particular which is a dreary brown throughout with some old worn out furniture, the en-suite bathroom also very dated. The upstairs bedrooms are fine and the rest of the house ok. We had a few minor problems and the agent was excellent at replying promptly and fixing any issues we had. I’m sure there are more modern properties for the money in the area but if you are happy in a simple house with comfy beds this is absolutely fine. We had a great holiday. ##### Richard F. Stayed 15 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steve R. 15 Mar 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Island in the sun Isla del Sol is a great place to stay in the winter. Lots of space to walk or ride bikes. The seafood in the area is some of the best. This property however needs work. Mostly small items where the management company is tardy, ice maker, ceiling fan and lights in living room, outlets not working and a/c vents needing cleaning. The local pool is close by , but the water view pictures are misleading. For a couple this unit is fine but a family would be crowded. There are many other rental units in the area, hopefully better cared for . ##### Steve R.

There was lots to be happy about here. My only issues were the grill was not cleaned so I had to clean it. Then, there was no propane (it was near empty). When I responded to a property management email to mention the grill was not cleaned, I was told not to communicate by email but to use the portal - even though they had JUST used email to communicate with me. Then, I was told it was not their job to ensure the grill was cleaned. Really, that was the only blemish on an otherwise great stay. ##### scott c. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle M. 29 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Graduation Getaway We enjoyed our stay very much. The townhouse was big enough for our family that came in for our daughters college graduation. The beds were comfortable. The master bedroom was huge with a large walk-in closet. The twin beds were a little small for my 25 year 6 foot son, but would be perfect for small kids. The kitchen was well stocked and even had coffee filters!!! The kitchen table only sat 4, but that wasn’t an issue for us. The location was perfect! 10 minutes to St. Pete beach! There is a $1 Toll when you get off of 275 that’s manned, and then another one coming back from the beach that’s unmanned. The surrounding property was beautiful with a golf course as you enter the complex. The pool area was very nice and clean. We had a couple of minor issues, including the cable going out, but the management company took care of everything immediately! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Michelle M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy P. 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for graduation Our family of 3 young adults and 2 parents got together for their brother’s college graduation. This property was perfect for our group. Location close to beach and just 15-20 minutes from St Petersburg was ideal. House is just as advertised. Clean, well-stocked. Smart tvs, laundry, coffee maker all new and work well. Neighborhood is a pretty typical golf course set up with some walking paths but not a lot of shade, if that’s your thing. Communication with property manager Bonnie was first rate. When we arrived, the umbrella for the outdoor space had been damaged in a storm. She had a new umbrella within an hour, and she answered a couple of other questions with just as easily. Our one suggestion: 10am checkout is pretty challenging for a 3 bed/3 bath property where people are likely to stay with family. It’s the earliest checkout we’ve ever had at any VRBO house (our previous St Pete rental was noon) so it’s a good thing to be aware of when you book. ##### Tracy P. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce C., Glen Williams 23 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location, close to pool, private and quiet, beautiful commmunity This rental is a stand alone villa in a beautiful community within walking distance of St. Pete's beach and biking distance to Fort Desoto beach. The community is beautifully kept and there are lots of places to walk. You are sourrounded by water on Isla Del Sol so any way you leave you see water - just amazing views from the causeways. There are lots of renters as well as owners - all very friendly. The pool/hottub was fantastic (werm and hot) and within 100 feet of the property. The villa itself was worn but clean. The onwers could spend some money on blinds, newer furniture and appliances. To be clear none of these items were broken just well used and could use some updates. The kitchen is sparesly equipped so if you have a max group there of 6 you may need ot run the dishwasher after each meal. We had a small leak in the garberator and a maintenance person was there within a couple of hours to fix it. We kayaked nearby and there is an endless supply of great seafood places within 5 mins of the place. We had an incredible time and would not hesitate to stay again! ##### Bruce C. Stayed 42 nights in Jan 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jacob F. 16 Dec 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Booking company Messed up. Upon arriving at the town home that i rented from Nov 30-Dec 8th 2019, along with my wife, and two young daughters, and after a long day of traveling, I come to find that our home was already occupied by another family. I immediately contacted NextHome, and after reviewing their records, it turns out that we have been double booked, due to a booking error by one of their associates. Now, i understand that things happen, however our rental was a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath for a reason. After asking for a comparable unit, they said they could only offer me a 2 bedroom unit. I said that would not suffice and that they would have to provide a like unit. Long story short, it fell on me to find a new rental, for same day check in with out any of their help. As you can imagine, finding a 3 bedroom for same day check in was doable, but also more expensive for obvious reasons. after booking the new unit, I immediately contacted NextHome, provided them with a copy of the new invoice, and asked them to pay the difference. They acknowledged they received the email, and assured me that the owner would contact me by Friday, Dec 6th to resolve the issue. It is now Monday, Dec 16th, and i have yet to hear from the owner. I am posting this to assure that you triple confirm any of your reservations with these folks, and be aware that there is a potential to be double booked when you arrive at your vacation. ##### Jacob F.

Reviewer Comments: We would like to recognize the professional team at NextHome Beach Time Realty for the outstanding job in making our vacation a memorable experience. We arrived in St. Petersburg and was amazed at the beautiful neighborhood and the inviting home that we would be staying in for our vacation. The location of the home was perfect for accessing all the activities that we had planned in the surrounding communities and at the different beaches. Annie, Bonnie, and Heather were amazing to work with in setting up the reservation and in making sure we were comfortable. Everything was so perfect, we did not hesitate to plan another vacation in 2025. We highly recommend scheduling your vacation with the wonderful people at NextHome Beach Time Realty. ##### Henry R.
