This is great place to stay to visit downtown. It is a 13 min walk to the first Looper stop and the first bar. The Looper stop is located near the entrance to the Vinoy. The area is great for getting around on your bike. You can ride right along the water and many parks. The area around the VRBO is safe and well lite. Recommend couples only.

This is not a two bedroom property. The sofa bed had dirty sheets and there were no spare ones. I recommended that the owner purchase new linens across the board— towels included. The place could definitely benefit from a a makeover. Only positive was the location.

This was a great location for a swim meet my son and I attended. It was within walking distance and is a very safe area and a great park nearby. The bathroom needs some TLC and the shower curtain liner was very dirty. Otherwise, the accomodations met what we needed.

this is the perfect VRBO. It is in the wonderful old Northeast Neighbourhood of St Pete. Quiet safe and beautiful neighborhood. The apartment is comfortable and spacious and bright. There are windows on three sides!It’s easy to walk to restaurants and there is a beautiful park just 1/2 block awayI almost don’t want to praise it too highly because I wanna come back every time. I’m here in St Pete.I had a few small questions and the owner replied to my messages each time within one hour!

Lots of Activities Near By

We came to attend the ISCA swim meet at North Aquatic Shore Pool. It was the perfect location for the swim meet. We also loved the distance to the pier and other great restaurants in the area. The parking was also very easy & convenient.

Vacation

The unit was very nice and super convenient to Downtown Saint Pete. There was a small beach 5/6 walking distance from where we stayed. The first night there were a few issues but management resolved them the following day. We made the best of the trip and I would definitely come back, actually I will be returning soon

Superior location, small tweaks would make it great.

First, the positives. As other reviews have said, the location is excellent. Two blocks from a public beach and park and walking distance to the restaurants and Fine Arts museum on Beach Drive. As well, the apartment was clean upon arrival. Entry was easy via lockbox and communication with the property’s manager was fine. That said, while furnishings were sufficient, the property is tired and sorely in need of some painting, care and repairs. Repairing a broken towel rack, providing a dresser (admittedly missing in lots of rentals), and installing a door on the bedroom closet are indicative of the sort of details that, while not affecting habitability, detracted from the property’s quality. Once details of this sort are addressed, and the condition of the property more accurately reflects the photos, we would be happy to recommend the property.

Worst VRBO experience ever -- do not stay here!

This unit is absolutely horrendous. Do not stay here. (I would avoid all other units in this very decrepit looking building as well). It was around 55 degrees when I arrived -- and the unit was absolutely bitter cold. While the manager claimed there was a working heat system, there simply wasn't. The manager, William, stated there was an additional space heater in the closet. The space heater was smaller than a coffee pot -- totally inadequate for a 1 bedroom apartment! I ran it for 2 hours and it did not make a difference. The manager also informed me that there was a hairdryer in the unit, which there wasn't. There were no bath towels or washcloths and the bathroom was filthy. (There were three tiny thread beach towels in the bedroom in a basket, which the manager said were "bath" towels). The entire place reeks of mold. I messaged the manager after two hours that I wanted to check out as the unit was absolutely inadequate - and he messaged that I could check out. (I did not understand that I needed to check out on the VRBO app, I thought informing him was enough). So, after I clearly messaged that I had checked out, the manager will now not provide me with any refund. Ultimately, I had to find a last minute hotel for 3 nights -- and pay for this horrendous unit as well. The manager is not truthful. Don't believe any response he may make to this review. I have stayed in many VRBO's and this unit, as well as the managers blatant lies, are shocking.

Thank you for your feedback. We take all guest concerns seriously, and we’d like to address the points you raised regarding your stay. First, we want to clarify that the heating system in the unit was functioning properly upon your check-in. Given the particularly cold weather, we also provided a Dyson space heater to ensure your comfort. We understand that heating systems can sometimes feel insufficient during extreme temperatures, and when you mentioned an issue with the heat, we immediately offered to send a technician to inspect the system. However, after only a couple of hours, you requested a full refund, despite our offer to resolve the issue. We felt that you may have been more focused on the refund rather than allowing us the opportunity to address and fix the problem. Additionally, we were concerned by your suggestion that a negative review would be left unless we provided the full refund, which made it difficult for us to move forward constructively. Regarding the dryer and towels, both items were provided in the unit. We are unsure why they were not located, but it is possible they were simply overlooked. If ever you need assistance locating amenities, we are more than happy to help. As for cleanliness, your feedback will be reviewed with our team to ensure the unit is properly maintained for future guests. Regarding your cancellation request, we would like to clarify that, as hosts, we are unable to directly cancel reservations to avoid penalties imposed by VRBO and it also affects hosts' profiles. However, we informed you that you were welcome to initiate a cancellation request through the VRBO platform. Since we did not receive the proper cancelation through the VRBO app, we were unable to process the refund as requested. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. We always strive to provide a comfortable and pleasant experience for our guests, and we will use your feedback to help improve our service moving forward. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us.
