Our host was most accommodating. Workers had made it to his condo and it was unavailable when we arrived. He made arrangements with his neighbor to use one of hers. It was great.
This location is just right if you are not looking for the life style of the rich and famous. It is a modest, two bedroom, two bathroom condo with plenty of room. While the view is a little obstructed, you are just steps away from sitting on the beach. The owner provides equipment for spending a day at the beach with chairs, umbrellas, toys, cooler and a wagon to haul it. The location is in a safe and quiet area yet close to Clearwater, St. Pete and Tampa. There are some great restaurants and bars only minutes away.If you are looking for an inexpensive getaway that is somewhat secluded but close to everything, this is your place.
First of all...this place is fantastic! The beach is literally 30 steps away and the access is right out front. And the beach in this area is wonderful--wide with really very modest number of people. The neighbor hood is quiet, safe and relatively little traffic due to few restaurants immediately in that neighborhood. Never had an issue with theft or vagrants wandering around. The restaurants start about 1/4 mile up road so that was perfect. Tom the owner/mgr was always responsive...Great guy. responded right away with anything requested. Had beach gear available to use. Caught fish out on the beach--so fun! Convenient undertuck parkingHad a couple of maintenance issues with a toilet, but fixed and could use a deep cleaning and some slight upgrades/renovation to make it stellar. Kitchen was convenient-could use some newer pots--we like to cook in. Beds could be upgraded.Summary: Fantastic location and beach area with easy access to local towns. if you want a place thats quiet, great beach, great views, no hassle stay with owner close by, and dont care about perfect amenities, this place is perfect for the price paid. i would definitely stay again
My first impression when I walked in was "delightful!". The unit is spacious and bright and literally is just steps from the beach. We were very comfortable there. The deck is very nice, with a view of the Gulf. Biggest weakness is that the unit sits behind the owner's house so the view of the Gulf is partially obscured. Overall, we look forward to staying there again.
What an amazing trip! The condo fit our needs perfectly. We loved that it was just steps from the beach. We took advantage of the storage room w beach chairs, floaties and even a wagon to take it all to the beach.
Plenty of room for the 4 of us.
Canât wait to go back!
This is our second stay at this property, and we enjoyed it very much. It was nice to be so close to the beautiful ocean, which is the main reason we chose it. The balcony has a partial sea view, and we ate most of our meals out there... loved the ocean sounds and sea breezes! There are restaurants and other businesses close by... it's a good location for sure.
Tom's place was a great fit for our short trip to visit FL colleges! We enjoyed the condo and mostly the beautiful vistas and the calming waters of the Gulf coast!! What an amazing place to stay!!!
