Location is perfect

Wow did we pick the right place to stay on St Pete Beach. The condo is very nice with 2 outside areas to relax. The unit is on the 5th floor of a 6 story building with nice views of the gulf and bay. The condo kitchen, bedroom and 2 bathrooms have everything you need. Patty is a phenomenal host and always there to answer questions or make recommendations. We are an active couple in our 60’s who enjoy walking to explore the area. The building is on the beach with many restaurant/bars nearby and just a short walk to a supermarket shopping center. There is a pool, hot tub and 2 gas grills to use. A huge bonus is there is an assigned parking spot for the unit since parking near the beach can be a challenge. We found 2 restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk that were very good, Snappers Sea Grill and GiGi’s Italian. A short walk on the beach and you can book a parasail trip or rent a jet ski. We stayed 5 nights and will definitely be back. A very nice place to stay and the location is perfect. Thank you, Patty

Honeymoon

Place was beautiful. Easy beach access, clean room, friendly staff. They had chairs and umbrella and small coolers to use for the beach which was outstanding. You would normally have to buy those things when you get to your beach destination but they had it in the room available for use. Huge thought in that. Its the small thinga that really stand out. We loved our stay here.

Extended stay

We stayed at The Gulf beach Resort this past January. The location of the property is excellent. There are many restaurants and bars close by, and a Publix a short distance away as well as many other shopping opportunities. Kathy the property manager was helpful and friendly and always available for any questions, problems or a quick chat. The specific condo unit we stayed in was very nice. We especially enjoyed the resident cat. “Beach Kitty”was always open to to a few pets or to just hang by the pool with you.

My Old Stomping Grounds

We travel tons and have stayed at many VRBO's all over the country...this unit was nice. We wished they had some coffee creamers so we could enjoy a cup of Jo in the morning. The vents in the bathroom needed to be cleaned. As I brought it to their attention, they said they take care of it. The check in lady seemed a bit stressed and gave us a key that was a master key that opened all the different unit doors which concerned us. After notify her, she gave us the right key. All things considered, it was okay..We've had worse and better experiences

I will definitely be staying here again

This was my first time staying at St Pete Beach . I usually stay every year at Fort myers beach . I’m in love with St Pete Beach . The apartment was clean, beautiful and close to everything I heeded . I did a lot of shelling and I am a wildlife photographer so enjoying the dolphins at St Pete was a bonus . Every question I had for dining , shopping or entertainment, Patty was quick with answering our weekly questions. Kathy in rental office was just great too , I enjoyed talking to her when I ran in to her . Thank you for a wonderful vacation, bday and our anniversary. It was perfect . Amy

Cannot say enough about how wonderful this condo is. Beautifully decorated. Everything appears brand new and very clean! The views of the Gulf and Tampa Bay are fantastic.

Perfect beach vacation

We couldn’t of had a more perfect stay! The accommodations were well thought out. Extremely cleanly and perfect location. Steps to the beach. Close to many stores and restaurants. One of our favorite places was crabby bills because it was right next door and everything we had from there was delicious. We also had other places like ricks reef, oyster shuckers, and skidders (great breakfast). Couldn’t get enough beach time, already can’t wait to book in the future!

We loved the small size of this property with only 19 condos. It is in a great location, the condo is extremely clean & well equipped. The pool area is spotless & the manager runs a tight ship...which we appreciated. The best part for us is the beach & restaurants/bars that are all in close proximity. We loved hanging with sweet "Beach Kitty" by the pool!

Hidden Gem in a Great Location

Our stay here was nothing short of spectacular (it also helped the weather was perfect during our entire stay). This is a resort in itself amongst the big resorts nearby. The condo was exceptionally clean and spacious for a 1 bedroom, also had pretty much everything you would need as well as security. The location was perfect...walking distance to restaurants, beach shops, and tiki bars. We were especially appreciative of the use of the available beach chairs and umbrellas enabling us to sit close to the water. The pool area was very quiet, and we enjoyed seeing "pool kitty" at various times of the day. The best part, which you can't say for many hotels, is that the bed was super comfortable! Thank you for the hospitality, we are so glad we chose this diamond, and look forward to our next visit there!

Beach Stay

My husband and I took a quick getaway and this was the perfect place. You are right on the beach- and it is a beautiful beach. The bed is super comfy, and the unit had everything we needed. It was quiet at the resort, and everyone we met there was so kind. The area is fantastic- you can just walk the beach and find plenty to do. We were even able to see dolphins!

About the host

Hosted by Patty, owner

A retired nurse and business owner. Found this diamond on the beach and wants to share it with all the beach lovers.

Why they chose this property

We searched St. Pete Beach for a property and couldn't find one with the quiet charm of this resort. It's truly a Diamond on the Beach.

What makes this property unique

The resort has 19 condos, making it nice to get away and relax on the beach. Steps away from the pool and the beach, with the breeze that makes it beautiful all year long.
