About this property

Ft.Desoto/St. Pete Beach UPDATED, PEACEFUL, WONDERFUL.Tired of "fees"? Not here!

Besides an incredible experience and a fantastic condo at a great location we offer BY OWNER pricing that is simple and not gouging.

For a MONTHLY rate for the months of May through December we will also give 37% off which should basically bring you down to about $3,000 base

We charge only for the condo, a legitimate cleaning fee which is not padded, and the legitimate lodging tax.

Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. The CLOSEST building to the water, the A building and our wonderfully updated condo is the closest to the large heated, waterview pool and hot tub. Literally 6 steps!

King bed in master and and look at the pics to see how wonderfully updated the unit is.

Also the 3rd closest resort to the incredible beaches and bike trails of Ft. DeSoto. Literally 1.9 miles to the beginning of the park and 3.4 miles to the park entry booth, So 5 minutes to the incredible and typically lightly attended beaches.

Very nice bike lane from the condo itself to Fort DeSoto. I love to do a 20 mile lap that goes to the roundabout at the north end of our road (Pinellas Bayway) and then south to the park, through all of Ft. DeSoto, and back to the condo. (see more about the details of a lovely bike ride and all you see at the bottom)

Restaurants/Night life.-Well, Tierra Verde is quieter but not dead, We like to think it is the perfect blend of quiet AND some cute spots to go to for entertainment and dining.

Again only 1/10th of a mile, (obviously within walking distance) is multiple restaurants in "downtown" Tierra Verde which is essentially one small nicely tucked in commercial footprint.--
Our favorite is Billys Stone Crab House, an old school "clubby" vibe in one section where they have the entertainment on Friday and Saturday and karaoke on Sunday (typcially one of the better karaokes as the majority of the singers are truly listenable!-lol) , and fun rooftoop bar with amazing view and music up there and waterviews mostly everywhere. Then there is a Philly style deli, Alsace a French creperie and more, Tony and Nellos Italian restaurant and Good Times an authentic Czech style restaurant (Schnitzels, Stroganoff, Paprikas etc)

Many more restaurants up and down Gulf Blvd and many more beaches await you less than 10 minutes away!

We are a Hard 4 people max. No under 25 unless parents and 2 kids. There are 2 sofa sleepers in the living room but we do not make them ready for sleeping as mentioned above it is a hard 4 people max.

Murphy bed (Queen size) in living room. TV's in LR & MBR w cable. Roku provided in LR. BBQ on balcony and pier.

Kitchen has most, including an air fryer.

Clubhouse with pool table, and small exercise facility, basically 1 treadmill and 1 multi-station machine

Free Wi-fi with speed.

Bike ride description continued;
See East Beach where on a windy day there are lots of wind surfers and always an amazing view of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, cruise ships going under the Skyway Bridge, heading to other tropical destinations, and amazingly wide panoramic views of Tampa Bay and leading to the gulf via the shipping channel. Many freighters coming through add to the visual interest.

Also on your ride, you will pass the kayak and bike rental stands and the dog park, the old historic Fort itself and the fishing pier and then the 2 incredible beaches on the west side of Ft. De Soto. The first one by the concession stand has a lovely 1 mile walk to the north end and the farther north you go the less people there are. I have been there some afternoons, where I was literally the only person within a half mile! (Talk about living the dream! So peaceful, beautiful and private) then the world famous North Beach at the north end of the island has a LOT of beach to discover as it is enlarging and creating new exciting beach portions to walk. (according to a long time local who I chatted with, he said it is from the sand renourishment project for beaches north of us) and thusly it is an evolving and expanding beach.

Great Tierra Verde Property!
We come to stay on Tierra Verde about once per year to visit my parents who reside at a nearby condo complex. Rob's place is a perfect location and is an amazing option with great views, great amenities and a great location. The condo itself is perfect for our needs and very comfortable! Rob was very communicative and very helpful both before and during our stay. I highly recommend this option if you're coming to St. Pete for any length of time!

Great place in a fantastic location!
Just a short bike ride into Ft Desoto and an easy walk to several restaurants. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and look forward to coming back again soon.

Peace and tranquility
The condo was lovely and just as described. Very quiet. We loved having time in the morning on the deck with the bay view, to have coffee and read. It was a great way to start each day. It was great being so close to the pool.

Great condo, great location!
Condo was very clean, and looks just like the pictures. Owner was easy to deal with, friendly, and helpful; he let me get in a little early so I could put away groceries. Check in was easy. Bed was comfortable. Neighbors were quiet. View from the unit is great. And the condo complex had something I hadn't seen before - an active social group. Other residents/renters were welcoming and friendly, and happy hour at the pool became a time for us to get tips from long-term renters about great restaurants and activities, and to hear the latest fishing stories. And I loved the location; only 10 minutes to the expansive Fort DeSoto park, and only 10-15 minutes to the hubbub of St Pete's beach.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Humpf

Host profile image
We are "beach" people and lovers of quiet and peaceful beach beauty. We "escaped" from our condo that we owned in Clearwater Beach after several years there! Traffic, both car and foot TOO MUCH! Beach jammed with a density of people that made it feel like a refugee camp! Not our style! lol

We also have a single family private pool house in Citrus county about 1.5 hours north of our condo, so we spend time at both.

Why they chose this property

GREAT location to the beach and again referencing our Clearwater beach time, that complex was a 288 unit building and felt a bit like an airport at times. Holiday Island where this condo is in Tierra Verde feels, like a-------deep exhale---quiet peaceful chill place! There are times we are the only ones in the pool (not always of course) but it rarely feels crowded.

Its got fun stuff in the clubhouse, but the real joys are looking at the water, being the closest condo to the pool and hot tub, and the pool is usually a very comfy temp, and our condo since it is so nicely updated. Many of the other condos we have been in on property are pretty close to original so this is a joy to live in.
