Nice condo on the beach

The location of the condo was very good. Corner unit away from elevator. Kitchen was stocked with anything you might need. Only issue was the bathtub in the front bathroom was stopped up and held water during shower. Did not report it because it was not unusable. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful condo

This condo was a great fit for myself, husband, our (almost) 4 year old daughter, and father in law. It was clean, modern, and roomy that we didn’t feel crowded. The view from the balcony was so beautiful. The pool area was nice and clean and not crowded. We appreciated the extra beach toys and chairs. The only thing I wish would have been better was having some menus and a list of nearby grocery stores already at the condo. Our plane delayed a bit and by the time we arrived at the rental property office, it was after 6 on Memorial Day weekend. The restaurant across the street wasn’t taking take-out orders, it was close to our daughter’s bedtime, and we were starving. We ended up not getting to eat anything and not get to the store until afternoon the next day. Although that’s not the condo’s fault, but a menu for a pizza place close by would have been nice lol. The owner of our unit was quick to respond to emails. Overall it was a lovely condo.

Beautiful and Comfortable

We stayed from 9/11-9/18/21. We arrived after hours and check in was easy at the realty office. The condo was beautiful and very clean. The furnishings were tasteful and not over done with beach decor theme. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the design and decor. We were impressed with how nice everything was. There were four of us and we had plenty of room and our own space to relax. The first night there, we ordered from Caddy's restaurant and bar which is right across the street. The food was delicious but a little overpriced (which is to be expected on vacation). The beach view from the balcony is wonderful and the beach was never crowded. I was impressed with the hot tub which was "hot" and not lukewarm like a lot of properties we have stayed in the past. We brought two teens and they enjoyed the hot tub and pool every evening. The location is great for those who like a laidback location. We drove to most places, only walking to Caddy's. One perk I have to mention... The condo provided shopping carts for groceries which was a huge help for all of the groceries we bought for a week long stay. Also, the location was convenient for visiting many places during our stay. We visited every beach in driving distance from Tarpon Springs to Pass a Grille, Tampa and St. Petersburg. We had zero complaints about the condo or our stay. Everything about this trip was easy and relaxing.

Perfect family vacation spot

We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our vacation. Amazing views of the ocean from this corner unit as well as views of the inland waterway. Close to restaurants and shopping. The kitchen was well stocked and the furniture was comfortable. We especially loved sitting on the balcony couch watching a storm roll in over the ocean. We enjoyed riding the sand bikes available at the rental office. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing family getaway

The location was perfect. It was quiet, plenty of beach room, plenty of room at the pool and spa. Location is 20 minutes from Clearwater away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to drive to and not waste your day. Plenty of restaurants just a short drive away. Ice cream within walking distance. View was amazing!

Disappointing balcony!

The condo, though very small for a penthouse, was fine but had a very weird, ugly balcony floor that the furniture kept sticking to and some broken chairs to boot.

Rich and Karen, Thank you for your review. We will take a look at the chairs on the balcony. This is called a PH because it is on the top floor, however, it has the same square footage as the rest of the condos in the building. Please let us know right away if you find something like a broken chair so that we can get it taken care of while you are with us. We hope to welcome you back to a different condo in the future.
