Location was top tier
This property is NOT ocean front as it is advertised. It sits behind two other cottages with no ocean view, which is completely fine, but what makes up for that is the beach chairs and being in extremely convenient walking distance to the beach, Publix & restaurants. The cottage overall is outdated, very old, and hot. The main bedroom we were able to keep cool enough to sleep with the fan and window units, and luckily we didn’t have to sleep in the bathroom that is connected to the bath. The floors in the house are also extremely spongy, making it feel like you’re going to fall through them. Overall, my son and I made some amazing memories and will try to book one of the other cottages that sit in front of this one for our Memorial Day trip next year because we truly did like the location and the extra perks of the property such as the beach chairs. One other suggestion would be to upgrade the beach towels. The oversized thick ones are at CostCo for $9 a piece. Definitely would be worth the investment.

This was pretty good
Unfortunately 2 of the three AC unit stopped working. It’s smaller than I expected but the location is good with relationship to the beach. It was just my son and I and we were on the go, so we didn’t need a lot of time in the place. It was more of a hotel room (without hotel amenities) than a VRBO

awful stay!
Everything was wrong, dirty, no ocean view, big furniture with no place to put our luggage, picnic table broken, had to go through 2nd bedroom to use bathroom, air conditioners didn’t work. No bbq near us, only at the other places. Window almost fell out on me! Just wasn’t a decent place to stay.

Easy beach access
We enjoy having our own Cottage at the beach! It is an older property so it is not in perfect condition but was sufficient for the three of us. It had all the amenities we needed, including beach towels (not provided at many other locations). The main issue we had was that our Cottage (#2) was only a few feet from Gulf Blvd., which made sleeping challenging for those of us who are not used to a LOT traffic noise. The livingroom area's AC was also very loud when it came on. We used a box fan for white noise, which helped, but I would not stay here again unless we had a cottage off the boulevard.

3 stars is generous
I think it would be helpful to be completely honest in reviews. Let me start with the +s: the proximity to public beach access; cable tv (although you can’t hear it over the sound of the window unit); and comfortable bed. However, anyone who give this more than a 3, is not doing anyone any favors. I Would not stay here again. It is in dire need of some attention. Floors are soft and spongy, deadbolt is wiggly. 2 of the 3 window unit A/Cs need replaced (1 doesn’t work at all, the other so incredibly loud). Front door does not seal. Trash looks like it hasn’t been picked up in weeks. Bathroom smells like mildew. Many problems have been painted over. The price you pay after all the fees, you could get a nice hotel room in St. Pete beach.

Clean and cozy
The bungalow was clean, cute and cozy. It had everything that we needed for a short vacation and we even cooked most of our meals. The only thing is - it’s on a beach front lot but it is behind 2 other bungalows which wasn’t really clear in the listing. Other than that, everything was as expected based on the listing.

Very disappointed in this property. Pictures as advertised did not accurately depict the conditions of cottage. Floors soft and spongy in living room and kitchen. When raining, water pours down wall in kitchen. Picture fell from wall in kitchen during storm exposing mold behind. Air conditioner in living room not working. Dirty drain rain snake left on picnic table outside. One star for proximity to beach.

walk to the beach
Was a good time. Just wish we could have seen the Gulf from the house.Had to walk around house 3 . Other than that everything was good. We will stay there again but in one of the other 2 houses.
