A multi-week stay in Christine's condo was the perfect way to begin 2026, and escape northern cold! But months before my arrival, I was sure I had made a great selection - Christine's responses to my questions via VRBO messages were made very quickly. She clearly communicated all the information I needed, from payments to parking.Once on-site, it was obvious there was ample parking spaces. Once inside the condo, by entering with a keypad code, it was clear I had plenty of room to relax, do some office-type work, and enjoy the view. The balcony for the second-floor unit was one of my favourite spots. A couple of hundred yards to the right was Tampa Bay. Straight ahead were those daily gorgeous sunsets.The location was of the unit/building was great. It was literally across a small pathway from the Hooks restaurant, and a very short walk over to the Sunset Bar & Grill. I also spent a lot of afternoon time at the outdoor pool, also barely a two-minute stroll from my unit.I don't cook gourmet meals, and I was travelling solo. Perhaps with kids in tow, and if I wanted to spend a lot of time cooking, the smallish kitchen area would have been a challenge. But for my needs, it was fine.The bathroom was a good size, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the entire unit was very clean. And, so quiet. I've never before stayed in a condo and resort area that was this quiet and peaceful. Overall the condo contributed to a very memorable January!

This property is in a Beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to fishing pier, pool, and 2 restaurant. The only thing I didn't like was the cleanliness of the rental. There was trash left in the kitchen and bathroom, there was also a coffee pod left in the coffee machine. The bathroom was very dirty I stepped on the rug and it was full of dirt the shower curtain is full of soap scum and mold. The tiles of the shower still had hair and black stuff stuck to it and the soap dispensers had brown stuff caked on where the soap is supposed to come out of. I will say that I did tell the host about the trash and she was very apologetic I honestly don't think the host knows that the cleaners are just not doing a good job. My family and I enjoyed our stay even with the extra mess.
