Good stay. Only drawback was the pool which was supposed to be heated was not and it was not working. Felt bad for the kids staying there, since the Gulf water was way too cold and so was the pool.

Super location! We came to relax, and this apartment on the beach was everything we needed. Everything was clean, and check-in was a breeze. The pool temperature was perfect. Refrigerator door dispenses ice, the A/C worked great, sitting on the balcony is covered in case of rain. It was great taking chairs to the beach to relax by the shore and collect shells. The location is handy to restaurants. Just 17 minutes to John's Pass Boardwalk. 40 minutes to TPA airport. Highly recommend!

what a view!

This place had an extraordinary view and location. The beach here is practically deserted relative to other nearby areas. And its beautiful - what a sunset! The place was great - sure, its a bit outdated but not at all the way some mildly negative reviewers described it. We can NOT wait to visit again next Spring. Roomy and everything we needed for a perfect holiday!

Great location

We stayed in the smaller unit. It was just enough room for two couples who barely stayed in the condo. The location is awesome, right on the water with an amazing view, a pool right below, and biking distance to great bars and restaurants. We're already planning our trip back.

Property location on beach and proximity to town was great. Pool was clean, heated and great. Access and security was good. Tile and grout in the showers needs replaced. Knives need to be sharpened
