Stay at St. Pete Beach

Enjoyed our stay at Waves with a nice pool and just a short walk to the lovely beach at Upham. It is a quiet complex and a comfortable unit. The area was hit by the hurricanes but is making a comeback and welcoming visitors.

Fantastic return visit

We stayed here last year and returned as we enjoyed it so much. Whilst the area is still recovering, the apartment is still as good. Ideal location with everything you would need in the apartment. Jim was fantastic and let us know exactly the situation after the hurricane and made our stay great. Would highly recommend.

Great condo for a couple

My wife and I stayed here for the Thanksgiving week to visit family. This condo is in a great location to get to everything you want in St Pete Beach. The kitchen, while small, has everything you need to make great meals. The complex was quiet, although there appeared that only a handful of units were occupied. Easy walk to the beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

Close to the beach

We liked that we could walk to the beach and didn’t have to drive and pay to park. The pool was a great temperature! We cooked in the condo quite a bit, and they had pretty much everything we needed for that.

Updated unit, Great pool

There is a lot great about this unit: updated, comfortable furniture and bed, well stocked kitchen and beach items. (we really appreciated the beach umbrella!) It truly is a few minutes walk from the beach.Nice clean pool! The laundry facility with washer and dryer in the unit is incredible (spacious with hanging racks and amazingly items dry over night) A/C unit works very wellThe reason 4 star for location is the surrounding area is urban with lots of buildings but unit still manages to have a quaint feeling.

Fantastic beach condo

My daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was perfect for us. The condo is clean and comfortable. The location can’t be beat. The owners are very responsive and their cousin lives close by if any assistance is needed. The condo has many extras you might need like seasoning, baggies, soaps, etc. We will definitely book with Jim and Norah next time we visit the area. Highly recommend!

Cozy Oasis in St. Pete

The property is well maintained, the pool is wonderful, and within walking distance of a great beach. The Upham Beach neighborhood has a laid back vibe with a couple of beach bars, a few restaurants, and shops on Corey and Gulf—-great, central location= kayaking, golf, downtown.The unit is 5 star. It is updated (kitchen and bathroom) with beach decor and has a absolutely everything you need from beach chairs to spices!

Lovely St. Petes Condo

Loved this small condo complex. It was private and peaceful and close to the beach. Came with everything you would need in the kitchen and for the beach. New shower was nice. Clean complex and condo. Nice heated pool protected from the outside. This was a 1 bedroom…perfect for 2 people. Close to restaurants and shops.

We are Irish Canadians who rented this unit for 5 years prior to purchasing last year. In Oct/Nov. we completely renovated adding a new kitchen with granite counters and all new furniture throughout. Our home away from home is a lovely comfortable place to stay.
