We have been traveling to the Florida gulf for over 20 years and have stayed in dozens of properties over the years. This was the best of all those experiences. The owners were professional and accommodating, and the house was even better than described. The house was newly renovated, sparkling clean, and there was not a detail that was overlooked. They have maximized the use of the property to include a lovely picket-fenced garden with a swing, a private side patio with a grill, and a restful, large screened in porch with an overhead fan.
It was the perfect location — on the more peaceful and residential side of the island, but within walking distance to the Don Cesar restaurants, and a 5 minute drive to the grocery store, pharmacy, and other shops. We rented a golf cart to drive around the island, and made the 1 or 2 minute walk to the quiet white sand beach with our three kids, ages 4, 16, and 20. We made the 20 minute drive twice to St. Petersburg to visit the Dali Museum and the new St. Pete Pier.
All in all, we couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you for a lovely stay and family memory.
