Great location and value

Great location. Very open, rooms and bathrooms were good size. Only suggestion would be to have beach chairs available with the close proximity to the beach and the sliders to the deck needs to be improved. Overall, really enjoyed our stay.

Great Location

Absolutely great location. Short walk to food and beach. Stay in #1 as you have private patio and pool access. Pool was kept extremely clean. Laundry room was very accessible. Only complaint is the low quality of sheets.

It was an amazing condo with a nice walk to the beach. We had a lot of fun. The pool was refreshing we liked that we could walk to the beach, a place for breakfest and Shells restaurant for a nice diner. It was a quiet family friendly enviroment with a lot to do in walking distance, highly recommended. We will definitley be back next summer!!

The space was great and it was close to the beach.

Overall the property was good. The master bedroom needs some work. The bed was very hard and the pillows were not good. Also the master bath had a broken door.

Rescheduled Vacay

We schoose St Petes Beach after having to reschedule a vacation to Belize due to a passport issue. We found this condo to check all of our vacation boxes.. walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Having a pool onsite was key. The condo was clean and large, amd the complex was well kept. Wish there had been in-unit laundry cause the complex wash room was out of service, but that didn't keep us from enjoying our stay. We'll surely be back to explore the beach town more.

Loved the space and location

Our stay at Waves 1 was excellent! The condo is huge and having the private patio that leads to the pool was so nice for morning coffee. The condo is well equipped. I was very thankful for a beach cart to haul everything to the beach. Some reviews stated there was not beach equipment, but after speaking to the management company, they explained it is not provided, but if another guests leaves beach equipment it is there for you to use. The beach is an easy 2 block walk and the pool was very warm and clean. I would stay at Waves 1 again!

Nice condo

We flew in for a concert in Tampa but also wanted to enjoy the beach. Pre-arrival communication was very good. Condo was as described and had beach towels, a couple of chairs and even a canopy. My biggest issue was a musty smell from the air conditioning. No evidence of any mold could be seen in the condo. Parking spot is tight on the neighbor fence.

Great location, short walk to beach, pool is very nice.

Overall, we had a good experience. I did have concerns about some of the cleanliness. There was mouse droppings in the cupboards, which were not very clean. My daughters bed had sand in it the first night, and we could tell that the bedding had not been thoroughly and the entire Place needs a deep cleaning. We were there from Saturday through Sunday morning and there was only enough dishwasher soap and toilet paper to last two or three days. It would be nice if it was a little more stocked.
