Wonderful condo on the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The balcony was positioned so we had a view of the ocean. The traffic noise is pretty loud from Gulf Boulevard, but easy to overlook with the views being so awesome. The unit was very clean and they had all of the little extra supplies you need when you first arrive such as laundry detergent, dish soap, sponges, etc. The whole condo complex is very clean and well kept - they even clean the grills every day. We didn’t use the pool. It’s a bit small and the beach was so wonderful so that that’s where we spent most of our days. Check-in was super easy and so was checkout. We would book here again!

The view was nice for the ocean. Had everything we needed to cook many meals and lots of fun beach toys for the kids. Grocery stores not far away and a Walgreens just a block away. The pool is heated and really nice. The hot tub was super hot. The unit is old, but still nice. Maybe a good deep clean needed. We saw dolphins while in the water and also from the balcony.

Liked: Check-in, location
The beach view was beautiful! The place was nicely located. The patio furniture was totally rusted, each chair had one leg not even touching as did the table. The maintenance or cleaning crew were kind enough to fold stiff paper under it. One bathroom had a leaking toilet and we were unable to use it until Thursday as walking caused water to come up thru flooring. I would stay in this condo again if the patio furniture was usable and I am sure the floor completely dried out.Once again the beach is beautiful! I saw some beautiful sunsets there.

Beautiful view, easy walk to several restaurants, super clean. It’s a bit dated but it was perfect for 2 people. We liked the quick walk to the beach, the elevator, and the fact that it’s next to the public beach so we could rent cabanas and lounge chairs.

Gulf Strand/itrip Review

Stayed at the Gulf Strand for 5 nights in April 2026. Booking through itrip was very easy and seamless. The room itself was great.. albeit could use updating of the balcony furniture but still did its job. The balcony overlooks the public parking lot as well as the beach. So it’s beautiful and never boring! And not loud as you might think. We did have to buy a few things such as extra toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. But they tell you that in the booking that these things aren’t replenished. Everything is in walking distance so not a big deal. Love St Pete and love the Gulf Strand!

Great location and value for money

We had a great time and the location is ideal for a beach holiday. The condo had everything we needed and felt very much like a home. We extended our stay by one day as we had such a good time. We would stay here again if visiting St Pete’s in future.
