This property is directly across the street from the beach. I have stayed in this building for the last 4 years and will continue to do so. The shared balcony is the best place on the beach to enjoy your morning coffee or the evening sunset while socializing with other guests.

Nice place

Actual place was nice, great area. I personally wouldn’t stay again because there is no parking. You park on street and it’s very difficult to find a place. If you are not bringing a car , great place. It’s clean and nice.

Awesome location unit needs some updating.

The unit was perfect for one or two people it was small but mighty. There was a little damage to the property unit that I noticed at check in. The unit was clean. They did not have extra toilet paper or trash bags and with the location of the unit that made it difficult to get more if you don't have a car. I reached out about wifi issues I was having the first day they never replied but I was able to remedy this myself. Overall I would stay again as the location is perfection!!

I loved staying here. The beach access was just across the street. Several restaurants were within walking distance. I loved the common upstairs balcony area with chairs and tables where you can eat and look at the ocean and beach! I would definitely stay here again. This was my first time visiting St. Pete’s Beach.GPS says to go down 8th Ave and the destination is on the left. It was hard to find. Going down 7th street and turning right on Gulf Way made it easier to find. Also, I wasn’t clear where to park. There needs to be more information about where to park.

Our lovely little get away in Pass a grille

We so enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo on the Gulf. Upon arrival it was very fresh and clean . The space allowed room for a walker, which we needed. The upper balcony was our place of choice for much of our stay. We like that there are several nice food and drink choices around without being overwhelmed with commercialism. If ya know what I mean.😊

Lovely room and great location

This place had almost everything I wanted. The location is amazing, right across the street from the best beach I went to in the area. The room had everything I needed. A nice man, who was working on the property when I arrived, found me a bag of ice. So appreciated. I needed to ask the property owner about incorrect WiFi info and was able to reach him immediately. Problem solved. The kitchen had everything I needed, and the bathroom was amazing. The water pressure in the shower was great and water got hot very quickly. Bed was super comfy. Only draw backs were no on-site parking, although I didn't encounter too many problems with finding a parking place near the motel. Also, the grounds of the motel are a mess. Looks like construction going on, although I heard nothing.Very surprised at how nice Unit 2 is compared to what I initially saw when I first walked into the building. I would stay here again and recommend it for your travels.

Great location and view, the room was not good

The bathroom had an open plug 1 ft from toilet. No door to bathroom. Very low water pressure. Room was not ready when we got there at 3:00. Towels and sheets threadbare. When I stripped the sheets off the bed the day we checked there was blood on the mattress pad. The picture is deceiving.

Location is great, unit very disappointing

As with other reviews, Location is great. Otherwise the unit was very disappointing. While ‘technically’ the listing was accurate, it is what they leave out of the listing that is what is important and most disappointing. Towels were provided (only 2 for each person for a week). The ‘jetted soaking tub’ was a monstrosity and, in my opinion, looked to be a germ and bacteria haven. There was hanging space in a closet. But a tall, plastic, shelving unit was also in the closet with items stored all on it, rendering any hanging space useless. In addition, there was no drawer space where you could place clothes, so you basically had to live out of your suitcase which had to be laid out on the floor. (As usual in Florida, there were Florida bugs so keep that in mind with your clothes lying in your suitcase on the floor) Suggestion: a small dresser could be added for a minimal investment from a yard sale. The only seating, other that the bed, were two metal stools at what looked like, a poorly crafted DIY bar. You had to sit or lay on the bed to watch tv. Suggestion: Space and comfort would be better served by tearing out the bar and adding a small table and chair set, that could be purchased, again, for next to nothing at any yard sale. My opinion is that most all these issues have been repeated in other reviews, but the owners have not made any concession to improve the comfort of the renters, even at the small cost of the few items suggested. Would not stay in this unit again or at any property from this host.
