This condo is located close to Madeira Beach as well as downtown St Pete. We love having a view from the balcony and enjoyed peaceful mornings watching the boats and dolphins. The restaurant located across the parking lot (Doc Ford’s) was great and offered daily live music. We will definitely be back to this condo when we return to the area.

Spring fun!

What a fantastic condo! I loved the location, view, decor and the price. I had coffee on the balcony each morning and had pelicans and dolphins waiting to great me! The owner was a great communicator and made everything so simple. Doc Ford’s was right across the parking lot with great outdoor seating and live music! We’d definitely book again!

Paradise at Boca Ciega!

We had an absolutely amazing time at this condo. We needed a place in St. Pete to stay and work while our son attended a summer camp at USF. I could not have asked for more. Mary is an amazing host. She would respond immediately to emails or texts. The condo is very clean and a fantastic location. On the bay, incredible views and sunsets, short drive to the beach, close to several great places to eat (Doc Fords, Wicked Cantina, Slyce), and has the perfect pool and hot tub to relax at the end of the day. It had everything we needed for the week.

Oustanding View

Stayed 4 nights, enjoyed the condo greatly and the view from the large balcony was outstanding. The condo was decorated nicely and had everything that we needed. The traffic trying to get out of the condo was very busy just as everywhere else in the area. Restaurant was next door and several others very close by. Also a Walmart was right over the bridge for convience. Our host was easy to reach and reponded quickly to any questions we had. The favorite part was the balcony and view!

Lived up to the listing

Wanted a short stay, near water, for my wife and our pup. Kind of "over furnished" but sufficient property for our purposes.
