Great condo on the beach
We loved staying here. Pool out the front door and the ocean out the back door - literally 50 steps from the beach We loved that the pool was a salt water pool . Condo was clean and comfortable with the feel of a beach cottage. The area is more residential so it was quiet and very relaxing. We especially loved the screened in lanai. my husband is handicapped and couldn't get to the beach but he really enjoyed sitting there and listening to the waves. We spent most of our condo time in the lanai. This place met all of our expectations and we hope to be able to come again soon.

This was our second time staying at this property. You just can't beat the beach or the back patio. We have already booked another visit for next year. Thanks Lynda!

Old time beach vacation
We loved the condo and the screened in patio was such a plus. My 81 year old mother spent most of her days out here. The pool was right out our front door. The gulf was in the back. My husband spent every day walking the beach or taking the chair out to sit. My mom and I could not get out to the beach as there are high dunes in front of it which is not stable for someone that walks w/ a walker or cane but kids and younger people should be ok. There is a charcoal grill and we used that to grill burgers and watch the sunset one evening. It’s definitely a quiet area compared to Clearwater and Indian Rocks which is exactly what we wanted. But if you’re looking for a big time party this place is not for you. All in all I would not mind staying here again

Excellent Beach Location, Nice Pool
Property was clean and kitchen was well equipped. Warning not to turn A/C below 72 did not affect our stay in December, but might trouble me in August. There are, however, ceiling fans throughout. Screened-in porch was beautiful place to relax.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jan 2024
haha. No A/c in Dec. for sure. You'd be surprised how cool it stays at 70 to 72 degrees. Otherwise, with doors opening all the time, it can get condensation inside and no one wants that. We;ve never had the a/c freeze up, even when the cleaners have come after the guests departed and they left it set at 59 degrees!

This was a great beach rental for our party of 5. We have two small children ages 5 and 8 and it was steps from the beach. So convenient to be able to drive a few minutes to a restaurant or grocery store. And the sunset views from the back porch were breathtaking. There were plenty of linens and kitchen was fully stocked.

The condo was great, but the owner is odd.
I loved the condo. It was exactly as listed and the beach was beautiful. However, as you can see from some of the previous responses, the owner is a bit off. Make sure to let her know upon arrival if there is anything wrong in the condo, even the smallest of issues such as splilled milk, or she will message you accusationally about it while you are at the airport waiting on your flight home. I was very disappointed in her communication and her lack of knowledge of the level of cleanliness offered upon arrival versus our departure. Despite that, we had a beautiful time and i would recommend this condo, just beware of the owner.

Great location, needs maintenance done
Pros: Perfect location, comfortable beds, nicely decorated , covered porch area Cons: floor had severe water damage that had been that way for over 2 weeks but owner waited until the day before we checked in to let us know (so we did not have time to find a different rental) Floors are swelled up & causes trip hazard. Kitchen was extremely outdated & in disrepair. In order to access the unit you have to walk through the pool area (& 2 child safety gates, which is awkward when trying to get luggage to & from the unit). There is really only 1 parking spot, which is extremely tight. 2 spots if you park one in front of another, not fun trying to do a car shuffle). This is a lower level unit so expect to hear everything from your upstairs neighbor. I brought my concerns to the landlord upon checkin but they did not seem interested in making things right.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jun 2022
Stacy: Yes, you did request money back when you found out the floor was damaged before you arrived. You also said your daughter cut her leg but no picture was produced. You said the fridge wasn't cold enough when you'd only been there 90 minutes. Every time, you asked for money. There is no way you could have found a beachfront property two weeks before your arrival, so we didn't cancel on you to fix the problem, but ordered new rugs. They came the day after you checked in, but after your numerous texts, i thought it best for you to check out before we came over and disturbed you. I did ask you to reach out to me after you'd had a good night's sleep to make sure the fridge was working and heard nothing. The current guest never even noticed and floor problem even after i asked them. WE have no control over the county's mandate on pool fencing. If there was a problem with noise, you never mentioned it or anything else after your intial check in. i could have contacted the upstairs owner and asked the tenant to try to be quieter. Sorry you were disappointed.

Cozy family of 4 getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at the property. We have 2 sons (ages 9 & 10) and the unit was perfect for the 4 of us. The kitchen was well equipped, the location was perfect, and the 2 twin beds worked out great for the kids. It was pet friendly for our small dog as well which was wonderful. There is a nice grassy area just outside the sliders to enjoy the beach without getting sandy as well. The walk to the beach is a hop, skip, and a jump which makes it easy to run back to the condo to use the bathroom or gather supplies. We would definitely stay there again.
