Our stay was wonderful. The condo was better than the pictures. We had everything we needed for a relaxing 5 night stay. The complex was very safe and well taken care of. The beach access was so nice and our view of the beach/ocean was gorgeous. The master bedroom was spacious and comfortable. We would stay here again.

A rare property that exceeded our expectations. Beautiful home, great location, steps to the beach, wonderful balcony, beach stuff included, etc. Only downsides were the king bed was softer than we’d like and the location of the pool made it chilly this time of year (mid April). We would absolutely come back for a future stay and would recommend this to our friends visiting the Clearwater/st Pete area.

Nice clean condo with beautiful ocean view, just steps from ocean / Walking distance to shops, eateries, and putt putt / Joyce was quick to respond to any questions / all the basics needed in condo for cooking / pool was nice and warm for March weather / 30 minutes from PIE airport / if I had any recommendations it would be for black out curtains for bedroom windows in bedrooms/attached to hall way lights and all cotton sheets but I would most definitely stay again in her beautiful, convenient and safe condo

This was a wonderful place. Communication with Joyce, the owner and also host, was great. The location was great. Loved the private parking garage, elevator was great, all gates and doors had codes which worked. The owner had thoughtfully put things in the condo that aren't usually put there for us, and that was appreciated. The pool was nice and the beach was wonderfully sparsely populated in October. Great place!
