Even though there was remodeling and construction going on, and we knew it, the property manager kept in touch with us about any issues that would effect our vacation. 10/10 would visit again!

Great potential/Few quirks
Great place to stay with a few minor issues that were kind of annoying. We had several storms that limited our time outdoors. We had one TV that didn't work at all and another TV we had to stream our phone to get anything live. We also had a ceiling fan light that didnt work. The maintenance guy showed up to fix it but left his ladder in the condo so that was in the way the whole week. There was another light fixture in the living room that didn't work and the bathroom light worked intermittently. Once all these bugs get worked out I would recommend staying here.

Great location the beach is awesome!
It is a great place to stay. The view and location was awesome! It had nice accommodations with a dining table and 2 couches. The outside table was nice too, to watch the sunsets. We weren't able to access the WiFi until Tues. am. and we wish the bath towels were a bit larger - couldn't wrap it around you. Just a normal size towels would have been nice. Some of the hand towels looked new because they had the inspection tags on them. Overall, a great vacation for relaxing and hanging at the beach.

Clean, great location; Please note managed by property company and not VRBO
Zero complaints about the property. Clean, well decorated, great beach location, condo building is well maintained. Only issue for me was when I realized after booking that the property is managed by a realty company. This means payments and communication are managed outside of VRBO, which I was not aware of at the time of booking. I was very worried about security of payments and contacted both the realty company and VRBO about this. VRBO should explicitly advertise that the listing will be managed outside of the platform at the time of booking. I had no idea where and how to make the second payment and had to reach out to the realty company for that info. I didn't receive emails and correspondence as needed from the realty company and placed several calls there asking for needed info about check-in, payment, etc. While at the property, dishwasher was broken. Realty company was very quick and responsive to get this addressed and replaced and it was appreciated. We also happened to be checking out a day early. Understandably they were not willing/able to issue any refund for this day. However, I also specifically called and asked about checking in a day early to compensate instead. I was told the unit was full and we could not check in a day early. The unit was not full as we had family staying in the condo next door and were aware it was empty. Overall, great property but clunky, messy communication with the managing realty company.

First visit to this area. Great Condo. Great Location. Great Vacation
This 3 bedroom condo fit our needs perfectly. The unit has been recently updated. We really enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the balcony and appreciated the short walk to the beach. The right side of the balcony is behind palm trees which provides shade and privacy when wanted. The left end has good views of the ocean and pool. The unit has good internet service and a good selection of cable TV channels. This area is very quiet but only 7 miles south of the center of Clearwater and the Clearwater Aquarium (home of Winter the dolphin :) ). A perfect vacation. We plan on returning.
