We loved our stay at the Joyful Vista. The layout of the house was perfect for 4 adults with two kids. The house was very clean and beds were quite comfortable. It was convenient to all St. Pete attractions and it was fun to have family with a boat to be able to pick us up at the dock. Our only real complaint was with Mother Nature as we had a chilly week. It didn't stop us from enjoying the pool or getting out on the kayaks. Would definitely recommend Joyful Vista.

Memorial Day Vacay

This property is beautiful inside and out. Beautifully landscaped yard, pool and deck; and beautifully decorated interior. It is the cleanest property I have stayed. Every detail was thoughtful and many extras to make our stay stress free and relaxing. My husband enjoyed the “coffee room” each morning overlooking the bay, while my daughter and I enjoyed sitting under the covered pool area enjoying our coffee (which was supplied with Kuerig coffee.) I highly recommend this property if you are considering a stay in St. Petersburg, Florida!
