Comfortable property with nice views.

Spent 2 weeks here with 4 adults part of the time. Comfortable accommodations. Nice fine white sand beach. Weather was variable in early Feb. but the St. Petersburg area has attractions other than the beach. We enjoyed the time there.

Vacation

Property was exactly as advertised. Check-in process was simple, the property was clean and extremely convenient for beach and travel around the area. The views from the balcony were just as described in the profile. The beach chairs and umbrellas could use a little upgrading, but they were sufficient. Thanks for hosting!

Perfect & Absolutely Awesome Place For A Vacation!

Condo was much nicer than photos show. Everything we needed was there which made for a very enjoyable stay. We spent a lot of time on the balconies when we weren't on the beach. Almost every morning we were able to see dolphins which was cool. Definitely would return as we weren't ready to leave. Frank & Paula are great and even sent us a certificate to use at the Candy Kitchen where we had the best homemade ice cream ever.

Best ever! Great views, well furnished and has everything.

Having stayed in many different condos in the last several years in the Indian Shores/Indian Rocks area, this was the best ever. Views from the three balconies are great - the pool area, beach and Gulf, and the inter-coastal waterway. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and entire condo has everything you need. Frank was very helpful and responded immediately any time we had any questions either on the phone or by email. We love the condo and the area and are looking forward to coming back again.

Just As Advertised

Having stayed in this unit in 2012, we had a good idea of what to expect. The delightful part was that it is just as clean and nice as it was then. Kudos to Frank and Paula for that! This condo is very comfortable, roomy and convenient to everything you may want to do, whether it be great restaurants, craft breweries, live music and of course any water activity you can imagine. Thanks Frank and Paula for allowing us to stay here.

Our stay in Indian Shores

Place was well furnished and comfortable. However, the floor was very dirty & needs a good scrubbing. Also, book with info needs to be updated. Conflicted with instructions on fridge. Not sure which to follow so did the best we could. Codes were a pain since we weren’t used to dealing with them in the past, but we understood why they are necessary. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

Beach was amazing however we will find another condo for our next stay

this was a difficult property to find in regards to which unit and which parking garage. the unit had some prior damage from another guest and had some mold issues in the bathrooms. the elevator was out during part of our stay and we were locked out of the stairwell until another guest came down the stairs(unclear that we would need keys in addition to the codes) the hot and cold water faucets were in reverse in the guest bathroom the hot tub was out of order the overall cleanliness and ventilation of the main entrance and elevator were lacking.

Pool paradise!

I don't usually stay on high levels, but this 5th floor condo had amazing views and balconies. The unit was immaculate and the king tempurpedic bed was the best sleep I have had in a long time. Other vacationers told me their units were outdated and had a smell from the bird sanctuary so I am glad I chose this unit. The best part is the massive patio and pool...it is simply a nice layout. The owners are very easy to work with and are available for any issues. Parking is right next to the elevators which are right next to the condo entrance. There are so many things to do from this building but it is also quiet. I would highly recommend to stay here. Again, it is completely brand new and updated...and the walk-in tile shower is beautiful. Added bonus is that from a kitchen perspective it has every device and/or utensil you will need to cook and a Keurig; plus a large balcony off the kitchen.

The MOST HONEST REVIEW YOU'LL EVER READ

Okay so this is going to be the most honest review. The condo isn’t the most clean. The rugs were dirty (all of them)! The air returns could use more cleaning, the grout in the bathrooms were black and needs to be replaced. The furnishings in the living room and dining room needs to be replaced. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen utensils need to be replaced! I made my kids wear socks the whole time. Not to let their feet walk on the dirty floors. The balcony door doesn’t lock (dangerous). The rims of the toilets were filthy and black. Apparently the cleaners forgot to clean them. The bath tub in the guest bedroom was meh, the master bathroom shower was meh as well. The shower piece kept falling off. Ick! When we traveling we expect the place to look like the pictures. Nope! If you want a nice clean place to stay, this isn’t it. You need to keep looking. If you’re just needing a place to stay for a few days, then it won’t matter. The owners need to realize when renting condos, there’s normal wear and tear and then there’s a need to replace the old and worn out. This is one of those times. Stop renting to people if you can’t afford to keep the place in good working, and clean conditions for renters. It’s nasty and it gives greedy vibes.
