Great find just a few streets away from the waterfront district. Close to everything in St Pete. Clean. Well stocked. Had been recently renovated. Excellent property owners. Great communication.

The home is exactly as described! If you have big kids or small kids this home will work for your needs. This home has enough space so that the family can have some separation. My family and I recommend this home!

Everything was perfect. The manager was very nice and friendly and helped with everything I needed. House was clean and anything I needed was there. I just wish the yard was a little more lighted at night for my small dogs. Price was great also. I couldn't be happier.
