The Pinallas county trail is right outside the porch door for walking or biking. Brand new AC so keep cool in the summer. Swimming pool just updated. condo professionally decorated.

The guest room has two twin beds and a full bathroom in the hallway. The guest room also has blackout blinds. I love to cook and eat healthy, so the kitchen is well stocked. with ample dishes, glasses, pans, pots, cookie sheets, everything. The kitchen also has paper products, coffee, sugar, flour, oil and spices. The living area is large with very comfortable couch, love seat and a 2 comfortable modern chairs. The screen porch is my favorite place to have coffee, or watch the sunset in the evening. Both bedrooms have TV's, ceiling fans and blackout shades. I also use green cleaning products in the home and NO AIR FRESHENERS or strong scented laundry items. We don't have to coverup anything and prefer not to be exposed to toxic chemicals. The condo is located close to downtown, the Pier, Central Avenue, the beach, The Don Cesear, Pass-a-grille, and Fort DeSoto State park. The Broadwater neighborhood it's a beautiful area to walk or bike through. The pool area has lounge chairs and a gas grill there is also a community room.

This property was perfect for what we needed… We needed to be close to my daughter who lives less than a mile from here. There is a great little tiki bar. We enjoyed thoroughly within walking distance, along with other shops and Starbucks and Publix, etc., that you could walk to from here. This place is so clean you feel like you could eat off of the floor. This is absolutely a perfect place for what we needed.

Very comfortable
The king bed was comfortable and there was plenty of seating for all. There were extras not found in other rentals such as snacks, coffee, shampoo/cond, and bodywash all of which were a nice step above the usual rental. We had a very short visit and were unable to enjoy the surrounding are at all which I think is unfortunate.

Just right
Location was excellent for us to spend time with our daughter who lives in St. Pete. The condo had everything we needed - I always look for a dining table to gather around. We cooked a Thanksgiving dinner together and enjoyed the Florida weather. Condo was comfortable, we felt like we borrowed a friend's place for a few days. Nice to be able to walk on the trail that ran out front. Other walkers/bikers were friendly too which doesn't always happen.

We stayed for ten minutes. Didn’t feel safe staying there. Ended up staying at my friends in Tarpon Springs. Thank goodness for them! Cockroach in tub. My friend said there are safety zones and ours happened to be in a red zone. I guess our intuition was right.

Perfect Location!
Business Trip. Week after Helene Storm. Condo area was spared. 10 min form downtown St. Pete. (work) less to beach. Closed beaches led to Disney for a Day. That was only 75 Minutes. Arriving at this temporary home away from home was fantastic. Exceptionally clean. Kitchen had everything. Publix 2 minutes away. Neighborhood was super. Bonus* Front porch on condo with chairs and table for morning coffee.
Most important, My wife loved the colors, layout and decorating. She is VERY picky. I chose this place and greatly enjoyed the "good job!" I received form her.
Host was perfect.

Wonderful stay
The condo was everything my family of 4 needed for a 6 night stay. It was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The parking spot is right in front of the door so there is no long walk.
The unit comes equipped with everything you need. We brought some things with us but it was already there (such as hair dryer, flat iron, beach items, etc.). The kitchen is equipped with everything you need as well which was a plus because we were able to cook breakfast almost every morning and dinner one night.
The neighborhood is really nice and quiet. The neighbors that we met were friendly and helpful. The unit doesn't have a washer and dryer but there is a coined laundry on site which is easy to use. The pool was great! It was nice and clean. It is really close to a lot of stores and restaurants. It was also a short drive to downtown and the beach. We enjoyed our stay.
