About this property

Large private balcony with Gulf views! 2 Bedroom condo. FN #205

  • ACT Vacation Rentals presents: Friendly Native #205

    A unique third floor 2 bedroom condo with a private sundeck to lay out, enjoy the day and relax watching the sunset. (3rd floor - no elevator)

    ***Please READ****: this condo is a bit dated. Window treatment & all furnishings are older, we like to ensure guests know this before booking. Please see the pictures. This unit has a rare, private roof top balcony - it is the best feature!! We have many units in the same building that are fresh and updated, but this is not one of them. The price reflects this. It's a good deal for an older unit. If you want modern & updated, we can give you other units in the building to check out for a little more money. If you are okay with 'retro beachy cottage style, no frills, staying at grandma's old beach condo that's a bit out dated' then this place will work fine. No frills people that like camping are a fan of this unit. It definitely does the job for a family beach vacation on a budget.

    Retro beachy vibe condo with cable TV and Wi-fi included. Great views, location and large private sundeck. A queen bed in one bedroom, 2 twin beds in the second bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living room. Magnificent Gulf of Mexico views from the living room and private sundeck. All linens & towels are included. The kitchen has dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. The private deck has plenty of room to watch the activities at the pool and the beach.

    Come enjoy your St Pete Beach get-away! Literally just cross the street and you are on majestic St Pete Beach enjoying the sand between your toes!

    A poolside & beachside condo with gulf views - sunsets are included

Birthday Getaway

Property is exactly as described, "grandmas beach cottage". The unit definitely feels a bit dated but it wasnt a problem, TVs in each room, and the AC works well. The balcony (only one on the building) was a great place to relax and watch the sunsets.We'll be back to this one for aure!wil

Great location, apartment needs updating.

The location was great, right by the beach with restaurants nearby. Communication with the host was good, and check-in was easy. The apartment itself is very dated, and while it had everything we needed there was one annoyance: most of the electrical plugs only have the two prongs with no ground socket. That meant that we had to hunt around the apartment to find the few outlets with a ground pin in order to plug in a number of our electronics, such as laptop chargers.

VRBO Customer Service is great!

Do not rent this place. It is a 3rd floor walk up and there has not been any maintenance on the unit ever. There was a very strong mold smell and the place is filthy. VRBO was great at helping us communicate with the host and, we did not stay at this property after seeing the condition. Public beach access is right there and parking was great.

Daughters 21st birthday trip

The condo was just as shown online. It was quaint clean and in an excellent location. Roger was the rental manager I worked with and he was very accessible and easy to work with. I highly recommend this place. Again, the condo is as advertised. Very dated. But it’s clean and there is a lot of room inside which worked great for myself, my 21 yr old daughter and my best friend. Very pleased with our stay. The pool area is very nice also! (No bathroom at pool area And no elevators in the buildings here FYI) second time for me at this condo complex and yes I would stay again.

Great location, gross aparrtment

The “warnings” given when renting the place state that it is dated and bare bones. While it is very dated it isn’t like a clean 1980s apartment. There are stains all over the place including gross stains in the carpets. Grime on the fridge door, trash under the bed: empty coke bottle and empty pill packets. The location is close to the beach and we spent most of our time outside at the great pool or at the beach or in my other family’s rented place in the same building which was much nicer. I would recommend the building in terms of pool and location but this place was not as nice as camping even. Appliances didn’t work and it just had an overall gross feeling.
