We had a good vacation overall, and I want to start by recognizing the property management team. Before our stay, there was a recent review mentioning bed bugs, which understandably caused concern. Abby was exceptional; she was responsive, transparent, coordinated with the pest control company, answered every question we had, arranged an additional inspection before our arrival, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Their customer service was truly 5 stars.Unfortunately, the condo itself didn’t match that same standard. While functional, it felt dated and not as clean as we expected for the price. There are a few things that stood out - cracked shower liner upstairs and areas all throughout where paint was cracked and peeling. The kitchen utensils and some of the cookware also appeared dirty or worn, making us feel like the unit could benefit from a much deeper cleaning and some updating.The location is great, and the condo has a lot of potential, but at this price point we expected a cleaner, more well-maintained property. There are likely more updated rentals in the area that offer better overall value. If the owners invested in some renovations and refreshed the cleanliness and maintenance, this could easily become a much stronger rental.

Yearly beach stay

We keep coming back to this condo because it is so close to the beach, covered parking, pool is not crowded, and we love the loft bedroom.

Great condo and great location

Perfect to have room for teens and parents. Location was great - very short walk to the beach and to restaurants and stores. The welcome packets left by the owner/rental agency were great, with necessities like dishwasher pods and dish soap.

This place is a great location. We enjoyed it immensely the place needs some updating, although very nice to stay at. It would be outstanding and a better place to stay if the pool was heated. Not a real useful area when the water is incredibly cold.

Unfortunately we discovered bed bugs. Had to relocate in the middle of the night. What a hassle. Thankfully Youngs Suncoast property management was quick to make things right.

Vacation Trip

The property was good. No elevators to worry about! The only issue was it seemed the sheets in the master were not clean. They had stains on them. When I called requesting new sheets I was told they would be brought that day. They weren’t. I had to call again the next day and then they were brought. Overall though it was a good trip.

Cute Condo on the Beach

Condo is a great location, simply minutes from the beach. Condo was stocked with all amenities. Area wasn’t crowded. Nice pool. Ice machine and laundry service on site. The only issue we had while we were there was the air conditioner quit working twice. I called the service line and they had someone there within 45min to fix it. Great service!! We would definitely stay here again.
