Great location and value for money

We had a great time and the location is ideal for a beach holiday. The condo had everything we needed and felt very much like a home. We extended our stay by one day as we had such a good time. We would stay here again if visiting St Pete’s in future.

Great location and property with beautiful beach!

We loved the location due to beach proximity and in an area dominated by super tall buildings yet close to everything. All the condos face the beach, which was nice. The property was as described and comfortable.

Thank you for an wonder accommodations

My first visit to St.Pete and could not have asked for a better accommodation. Great location, right off the beach. Accessible to food, fun, white sandy beach, clear water and a wonderful view to sun rise and sun set. Will be back for my next trip.

Condo Review

Check in was easy and communication good. There were long hairs in the bathroom and bed room and the couch was uncomfortable and very dated. The table on the balcony wobbles and had to put a sandal underneath a leg to be able to set drinks on it and not worry about spilling them.

A great Spring Break vacation

What a wonderful place to stay. It has everything you need (towels, kitchen items and shampoo and soap to get started) It is in a great location with restaurants, grocery store and mini golf in walking distance. They were very quick to respond to our questions. Loved our vacation!

Terrific Location

The location is near everything along St. Pete Beach. My wife and I easily walked the length of the beach during our stay. The condo was clean and tidy. Had an issue with the washing machine which was attended to almost immediately.

The first impression is that the unit is in serious need of an update! There was not 1 piece of furniture that was comfortable or very clean. (we covered the couch with towels because it had an odor) The bedding looked like it had just been pulled out of the hamper, unwashed and there were stains on the sheets. (photos attached) The kitchen was sparsely stocked with mismatched items that seemed like garage sale leftovers. The shower door was off the track, so I had to fix that. The screen doors out to the balcony don't move (not a difficult fix with the necessary parts, but I wasn't about to be working on my vacation) all in all we had a good time at St. Pete Beach, the worst part was coming back to this place every night. Had we seen it in person before booking, we would have DEFINETLY went elsewhere, and no, we won't be back.
The bed when we arrived.
Looks like a dog has been sleeping on this for the past 10 years
If you can't do proper laundry, then buy a new set of sheets! EWW!

Great little place on the beach!

I loved staying at this little condo for a few days. It was clean and contained every amenity you might need while staying. The only thing I wish was that it had something more than a pull out couch for a guest as well as parking. Otherwise I have no complaints and look forward to coming back!

Great VRBO!! We have already stated we will stay there again and we just left this morning.

My husband and I have never stayed at a VRBO before. This was so easy! The place has everything!! Even provided a bouncy chair if you have little ones! I will highly recommend this location to anyone going to St. Pete!

St Pete Trip

We had planned to go to St Pete’s Beach before heading to Naples. We were very unsure what to expect due to the two hurricanes that hit the area. This was the only property that provided an update about the area. We decided at that last minute to book and were pleasantly surprised as we were able to enjoy the beach and golf. Great view and the unit had everything we needed. Will definitely stay there again

St Pete beach condo

Absolutely great location! Not too far from pass a grille, not too far from John’s pass, and definitely driving distance to downtown Saint Petersburg, and also into Tampa. Having two bathrooms for the two of us was wonderful because sometimes you cannot wait to take a shower after the beach. The itrip people were wonderful. They were responsive, supportive, and even before we got there had sent us lots of information on things to see and do not to mention discounts.
