Great house for beach trip!
House was lovely, love how the inside was remodeled to be open floor plan. Kitchen & living area was very open and cozy. The landscaping is beautiful and was great spending time exploring all the different plants. House had everything you need for a beach stay and was minutes from the beach and easy drive to get to other areas like downtown st Pete and central avenue for some exploring. Neighborhood was quiet and very pretty and safe. Overall was a pleasure to stay there! Apologies again for mixing up our booking/check out with our return flights, was not intended (apologies again). Troy made the process smooth with questions we had about the gym access, and was prompt and professional with alerting us of issues with check out.

Very Comfortable Property in a Quiet Neighboorhood
The home was very comfortable with various sitting areas and additional cooling fans throughout. The TV in the lanai was an added plus. The outdoor area was very nice. The beds were very comfortable. The surrounding neighborhood was nice to walk around and was very quiet.

Exactly what you are looking for
Whatever it is you are looking for around the area this is the gem of a house. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my stay. From the amazing kitchen island and open floor hang out space, to the creative and thoughtful decor. Everything about this stay was excellent, I was lucky to stay a week. Had relatives in town and perfect for the overflow. Loved every day. Streamline check-in, owner is amazingly responsive. Updated everything throughout, large smart TVs, chargers, outlets. Comfy bed and sofa. Would definitely recommend this VRBO property

Cozy, quiet getaway a short driving distance from beautiful white sandy beaches
If you want a home away from home feel this property has it all. Located in a quiet neighborhood just miles away from great beaches. They thought of it all here and it had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the little notes and instructions in every room. Troy even called shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was OK. We would definitely recommend if you're looking for a getaway for two or if you're looking for a place to stay with the family. We loved it.

The Perfect Getaway
My boyfriend and I needed a weekend getaway after having a crazy few weeks and this home was everything we could have wished for and more! The home is the perfect mix of modern and cozy and as a realtor I really appreciate all of the upgrades in the home. The backyard was a literal dream and has even inspired us to create a garden in our own backyard! It’s a 6min drive to the beach and we saw the most beautiful sunsets every night. The beds were super comfy and the home had everything we needed! Such a perfect home for a romantic getaway or relaxing weekend! Can’t wait to book again in the near future!!
