Central vacation home away from home

The property is cose to everything you need. Within walking distance of groceries, plenty of delivery options and close to the bus route. Everything was clean. Check-in and check-out process was easy. The host was very responsive to communication. The only negative was the hair dryers did not work, but we bought one and left it at the property and infirmed the host. Overall a great place to stay!Theoonly negative was

My family and I (7 in total) used this home recently. We were in town to see my daughter sing with St Petersburg Opera. We found the home easily but upon arriving found it was on a very busy main thoroughfare. The driveway was a half circle which was good, but pulling out onto the street was a bit precarious. The only other issue was the A/C, which worked fine and kept us all cool but was very loud inside, with a constant loud drip whenever it was running. Otherwise we were very happy with this home. We enjoyed the screened lanai and the easy proximity to all we chose to do. I would recommend this home.

Great place for a family Christmas

We were in town to celebrate Christmas with two brothers who live in Gulfport. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults and 1 infant who were staying there, as well as the brothers who live there to hang out and spend time together. The table was even big enough for all of us to eat together! Plenty of supplies - dishes, silverware, cooking needs, towels, toilet paper, shampoo, and soap, etc. The house is on a busy road, but it was easy to get into and out of due to the stoplight just up the road. Hanging out in the backyard, you don’t even notice any street noise. Diana was very responsive to answer any questions we had. Over all, we really enjoyed our stay!

Great for families

Owner was very responsive and accommodating. Great property for families - stocked with kid friendly items (including high chair and kid’s dining ware etc). Convenient location. Close to St Pete beach. House is directly on the main road, but it didn’t bother us.

Good Beach House

We enjoyed our stay, the host was very responsive and helped with whatever we needed. The only downside was the lock on the door, dishwasher and coffee maker were hard to operate. House had some wear and tear but standard for a beach house. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was very well stocked. Would recommend!

Nice and comfortable

Nice place with plenty of room. Everything seemed new. Beds were comfy and it had plenty of fun things to do. Could benefit from a welcome book explaining everything and allowing guests to access the thermostat. Was very cold inside. Locate off a very busy road.

Too hot to enjoy the outside toys. I should have paid more attention to the busy street. Plenty of room and pleasant inside. Bit of a soap shortage in the laundry/cleaning supplies.

Amazing family vacation!

At the last minute, a group of us decided to visit St Pete for the first time, and even before booking, Laura was extremely responsive and polite. We had zero issues checking in, and even when we forgot an item she assured me she'd check with the cleaning staff. The kitchen is large and was truly the center of the home and was fully stocked. The house itself is on a busy road but that wasn't really a problem for us since it was near all of the stores and a quick 5 min drive to the beach. Overall this house had everything we needed for a great stay. Thanks again!

Cute house

I would have liked to have known the master bedroom was upstairs, and that the house was on a main road, which was noisy. My elderly parents were unable to join us last minute, but they would not have been able to handle the stairs and would not have been comfortable sharing a bathroom with us. Other than that, the house was very clean and well stocked.

Surved it’s purpose

Disappointed that the rooms that weren’t on central air, weren’t cooled down. That should be done by the host, not the renter!! The 3rd bathroom has no air 😤😤 So you sweat to go to bathroom!!

Would 100% stay here again!

This may be one of my top 3 favorite vacation rentals I've ever stayed in. I typically book through another property rental app, but went vrbo this time around and am so happy that I did! This home was everything that the listing says and more. We had a little trouble getting into the house, but Diana was quick to help remedy that. Most rentals only offer the barebones necessities but anything I needed (and more), was readily available - shampoo, soap, HAND soap (I never see normal hand soap at rentals; I had even brought our own thinking we wouldn't have anything there), garbage bags, dish soap, etc. All our friends couldn't get over how amazing this place was. The backyard was great! We didn't have a chance to use any of the games because we brought our own, so I can't speak to that. But we brought firewood for the pit in the backyard and sat around for a few hours which was probably a highlight of my 2 nights there. The amount of beds/space for sleeping arrangements was also something you don't see much of at most rentals. Definitely a great place for big groups! Love love the location - we were 10 minutes from one of the main St. Pete Beach access points and 15 minutes from DTSP (downtown St. Pete). I really think I'll be back here again soon.

Beach wedding weekend

The house was as stated and my family and I had an enjoyable weekend at this house. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us and it is close to everything we wanted to see or go too. I have to say that the owner was extremely quick to respond to any and all inquiries that I had. I definitively will consider renting this same house the next time I plan a few days on Treasure Island or any of the island communities.

Nice Family Stay!

Our family of 8 adults was together for 4 nights. We did a lot of meal prep and appreciates the well-stocked kitchen and large dining table. We also used the grill and fire pit on the patio. The location was convenient, but the road is very busy and a bit loud. Our host, Diana, was very responsive to an needs and even allowed us to check in an hour early! Thank you.

This is a great place to have a large group. Very clean, inviting place, each room had a tv with smart/streaming device. Two fridges and very well laid out. Games on the patio and one of the more stocked/provided vrbo’s we’ve been too. We will definitely be back. Super close to stores and quiet even though you’re on the main road.

A relaxing vacation

This property was very clean, bright and airy, and fit the needs of a family vacation consisting of grandparents, son and his spouse, and three children ranging in age from 6 to 23. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook a meal, which was very handy. The beds were good. There were adequate towels. The screen porch was very nice, and the foosball and pool table was enjoyed by all. Having games available was also great.
