Great location and hosts
Came down for a few days with my son to fish the local area. Lori was a fantastic host and made sure we had an easy checkin and checkout process, also appreciated the restaurant recommendation's. Location was perfect for us to base out of for multiple fishing trips. Condo was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Will definitely be coming back next year. Joe from Alabama

Can't wait to come back!
Beautiful location in Tierra Verde. The condo is exactly as described and the host, Lori, responds very quickly to questions. We were very close to beaches and great restaurants, but a relaxing retreat once we returned to the condo. I hope to come back here soon.

Great place and location
The condo was very nice! We loved the great location, close to the beach and Tropicana field. The host was very helpful and accommodating. We loved that cool pool. It was great to get in a Florida pool that was still cool and not warmed up by the sun.

In an area that’s understandably busy, this property was a peaceful sanctuary with a beautiful view. It’s well-landscaped and offers a well-maintained pool, overlooking the water. The condo couldn’t have been cleaner. Get ready to enjoy yourself, here!

Great Tierra Verde stay!
The property was just as described. Very clean, easy to get to, great parking and fully stocked for your stay. We were close to all of the local attractions, but being a walk or bike ride from beautiful Fort Desoto Park was amazing. Even though it was very cool for Florida, it was a great stay, and the pool and hot tub were a wonderful way to relax after a day out enjoying the beautiful Florida beaches. We would absolutely stay here again!

The apartment is a little old but just as described and typical for the area. It was spotless and with everything where it was supposed to be. We loved to buy one just like that and make it our summer apartment. We highly recommended it.

Favorite "go-to" vacation destination
The condo is extremely clean and comfortable. Everything you need. The grounds/landscaping exceptional. We always find room by the pool. Never over crowded. There's a beautiful view of the water and you can see Sunshine Skyway. We particularly love this place because of the neighborhood. It's beautiful, peaceful, no traffic. Couple of good local restaurants... Fort DeSoto Park is a few minutes down the road. Pass A Grille is a beautiful beach town pretty much right around the corner. St. Pete Beach minutes away. The owner is there for you. Replies to messages and makes sure you know what you need to know and have what you need to have. I don't normally write reviews but my husband and I have been so very pleased and comfortable here. We are already planning our next trip.

About the host

Hosted by Lori & Rich McDermott

Host profile image
We love to travel and meeting new people. We enjoy fine wine, trying new food and diverse cultures. We strive to provide a great experience for an affordable vacation. We are blessed with 3 grown daughters, 4 grandchildren, 3 amazing son-in-laws and a few, fun vacation spots that we love to offer guests at a valuable price. As a host for the past 26 years in our own home and now with short-term rentals for the past 11, this may be one of the most noble things we can do. In a world where there is division, hostility, and cynicism; being able to welcome people into an environment we’ve created for them and doing so without prejudice, judgment, and hopefully learning from and sharing with others —is an incredible phenomenon. If only more host stories could be told to counterbalance the more cynical view that we take on in this world, we’d be better off. That’s what I come away with in this whole journey and even more now since I've been operating short-term rentals. My children have been given an opportunity to learn and exchange culture at a very young age; even extended family and school community participated as some of our guests taught in the school. We believe this helped guide our children and community to a better understanding to life and multicultural differences yet we all learned, grew, and benefited from the relationships formed. It wasn’t my intent to better myself, but I really do feel like we have brnefited more than we give.
