The perfect home away from home. Such a welcoming home. Spotless. Beautiful backyard with lush green landscaping. Hot tub was a bonus. Nice residential area, but very walkable to beaches, dining, nightlife, shopping and so much more. Easy drive to St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa and Sarasota. They thought of everything. The only issue we encountered was immediately addressed and remedied by the property manager. Highly recommended.

Great location, walking distance to the beach, bars, restaurants & parks. The backyard is a beautiful getaway within itself!
6 / 10Average·Feb 2018
We had a pleasant 6 week stay at this home. The location was excellent, close to beaches, shopping, great restaurants & a community center. The front yard was really nice, the back room lovely and bright and it was nice having the garage for extra storage. We should have studied the listing more closely, as it had no dishwasher and we cook a lot at home We also felt the kitchen was not stocked well. Also, felt the linens & towels were old, and fact that there were no mattress pads was creepy. We ended up buying towels, a mattress topper and mattress pad. The place appeared clean, but the air filters & vents were dirty, the stove dirty and the rugs & couch pillows questionable. An attempted bath resulted in flakes of white in the water. Showering, luckily was OK. The refrigerator light went out while we were there. The manager sent a handyman out, but he couldn’t fix it. She said that it would cost $100 (we weren’t clear whether that was our or her cost) so it wasn’t fixed. Although the manager/owner Kelly was relatively responsive she was not eager to please. Given the cost of this home we expected more, so we will not stay here again.
