Definitely a party spot. Loud music all the time, young people resort. room walls are paper thin. Lobby smells awful. Old furniture. Nice outdoor area. Nice warm pool. However, resort is definitely not what I expected.

If like looking at people with tattoos…

We love walking the beach and this location was perfect for that. Never had visited St Pete’s Beach until this stay. Made sure each day that we were walking the beach before 9 am to avoid the tattoo crowd. St Pete’s Beach is pretty tickey tack and commercial but the beach is beautiful in the morning. Access to the beach from this condo was easy. Go to Ft DeSoto Park for more pristine nature.

So close to everything

Perfect for what we were looking for, close to the beach, walking distance to other restaurants and bars with a more casual feel. Overall love the laid back vibes of this location and beach in general, we’ll definitely be coming back.

Loved it!

My husband and I stayed the week for my 50th birthday! The place was very clean and so close to the beach, just walk across parking lot and you’re there! Didn’t even rent a car. Everything is walking distance. Had breakfast at Ricks Reef almost every morning. Super good! We will definitely be back!
