Beautiful Beach Front Condo. Watch Dolphins from Your Bedroom!

Good location, on the water. Unit clean and comfortable.

My family, along with my parents, rented the condo for a month. Myself, husband, parents, and 2 boys age 11 & 9. All six of us weren't there at the same time the entire time, but when we were, there was plenty of room. The condo was clean and fully stocked with anything and everything. The bathrooms are remodeled nicely. The patio/balcony is the perfect place for evening meals or morning coffee. It is a small complex with friendly people. The pool is super nice. The beach is amazing and the sunsets were out of this world. We saw dolphins swimming by every single night. Contact with the Munsons was easy, but really not necessary as everything went super smooth. The internet worked great, everything was easy to find, and their instructions were easily followed. If you rent you absolutely must drive 4 miles North for THE BEST ICECREAM ON THIS PLANET at Haze Ice Cream in Indian Shores. They make everything right there from scratch with all natural ingredients. JD's and The Pub up in the same area are also fantastic. The Conch Republic Grill is another favorite that is within walking distance of the condo. And if you love to make your own fresh seafood, visit The Reef Seafood Market in Redington Shores. The shrimp comes fresh off the boat to their back door everyday and is out of this world. John's Pass is only about a mile or 2 south. (Visit on week nights to avoid the crazy crowds there) We definitely hope to be returning next year. Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. Munson for sharing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo! The living room furniture is very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare a great meal. Our children LOVED swimming in the very clean pool that looks over the beach. I really loved reading under the shade of the tree on the patio, looking out over the Gulf. All the condo residents are so friendly and helpful. The owner, Randall, was so helpful during our dealings and helped answer all our questions. He is also excellent at responding promptly to emails. There are many restaurants within walking distance and John's Pass is just a short drive down the road. There's also an excellent restaurant in Clearwater, Villa Bellini, that we highly recommend. You can also enjoy Keegan's which is close by and was featured on television. Plenty of grocery stores in the area as well as Ward's Seafood Market in Belleair Bluffs and Mazzaro's Italian Market in St. Pete's. Great area for foodies!! We really enjoyed our breakfast and snacking as well as many other meals on the condo balcony, overlooking the Gulf, and watching the gorgeous sunsets by the pier. The dining room table is large and comfortable and accommodated our family of 4 extremely well with lots of room left over! The beach was lovely, not overcrowded, mostly just used by guests of the condo so, often, we had it all to ourselves! We collected beautiful shells, especially after some of the thunderstorms that came through the area this summer as they wash up on shore. We didn't need to go shelling anywhere else as we found plenty right at home! We saw so, so many manatees that swim gently by and once, we were thrilled to see a mother and baby manatee swim right next to us in the Gulf. We also saw plenty of dolphins. One evening, my husband and I were walking on the beach and counted 8 dolphins that were so close to shore, it was astonishing--only a few waves away from the beach! Plenty of photo ops for those of you that enjoy photography! We also highly recommend the Sea Screamer in Tampa Bay. You can take this speedboat from Pier 60 in Clearwater. It's a one-hour ride and very fast! Prepare to get wet and to see dolphins jumping! Can't wait to return to this condo next year!! 10+

We love coming back to this condo for our family vacations. The unit itself is wonderful and very relaxing, and the building is situated on one of the loveliest stretches of beach along the Gulf of Mexico. There are two spacious bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, and the remodeling done a few years ago is incredible. Very nearby are many excellent restaurants (such as The Conch Republic), shops (malls and other retail) and other attractions (like John's Pass), not to mention attractions in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. Even Disney World and Universal Studios are close enough for a fun day trip. It feels like home away from home, and I cannot wait to get back there!

Everything was perfect - even better than we expected! We enjoyed our stay at the condo. The condo unit, the grounds and building are clean and well maintained. The residents and guests are very friendly and welcoming. Nightly residents and guests gather on the patio to watch the sunset. The pool is heated and well maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils. The master bedroom is very large and a nice master bathroom.

My wife and I loved the location of the condo and were able to walk to some wonderful restaurants. Our favorite restaurant was the Frog Pond which had the best breakfast I have ever had. We also enjoyed the Conch Republic for dinner, and the service was great. We were given lots of great tips and ideas by the owner which helped us enjoy our trip even more. We were amazed at the cleanliness and quality of the condo. We were able to just go and enjoy the surroundings. We enjoyed John's Pass, it was a nice place to walk around and see all the shops. We were even able to see some dolphins surfacing. It is so nice to be able to just walk out on the balcony and see the oceans waves crashing into the shore. We loved the morning walks on the nice sandy beach. This was the most relaxing trip we have been on and will definitely be wanting to go back again.

The condo is beautiful - even nicer than the photos show. It was an easy drive to Walt Disney World. I had a very relaxing stay.

We spent the month of Dec., 2010, at this lovely, tastefully decorated condo. All was there that one might need. Each day we spent relaxing on the beach, as well as taking in some of the many activities available in the area, always making it back to the condo in time to enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the condo's balcony each evening. Our daughter + her family were able to visit us over the Christmas holidays + our grandchildren enjoyed collecting a wide variety of sea shells on the beach, finding an occasional sharks's tooth, as well as day trips to Kennedy Space Center + Disney World. They also enjoyed seeing a lighted boat parade, visiting the Florida aquarium, which included a "touch tank" of stingrays + baby sharks, touring the U.S. Navy American Victory Ship, souvenir shopping + dolphin watching at John's Pass Village, + seeing the pelicans at St. Petersburg Pier and manatees at Apollo Beach. There are also numerous museums in the area of art, science, history, and the Chihuly + Dali Museum exhibits. Several state parks are within a short driving distance with beaches named in Dr. Beach's list of top beaches in the United States. Many excellent restaurants are closeby, serving the "fresh catch" of the day. One can see there is plenty to keep one busy, if one desires. The Munsons were very pleasant + most helpful, since this was our first experience with renting from a VRBO owner. We highly recommend this condo for its pristine condition, situated on a beautiful beach, its central location to the areas of Clearwater, St. Pete + Tampa and its convenient proximity to a wide variety of enjoyable indoor + outdoor activities available nearby + in the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful month here... It was as described, actually even better, because no new pictures were available since the re-modeling, The owner was very accomodating, and answered all of our questions. It was quiet, and at times we had the pool all to ourselves. The same for the beach, we were there the month of July, and even the week of the fourth, except for that weekend, the beach was usually not very crowded at all, we would "set up" right behind the condo. Now for my favorite part, the fishing.. There is a small private pier that belongs to the condo next door. Of course it is for their use, but you can still fish from the beach right under and around it.. It provides cover, and attraction for a wide variety of fish. I caught an 8 pound Snook the second day we were there, also during our stay I caught Redfish, Spainish Mackerel, rays, and catfish..I only got to stay the first 8-9 days of the month and the last 10, but my wife was there the whole month, with each of our 3 grown children, dropping in for a week or so stay at staggerred times. It is nicely decorated, and if we get to stay another month in the future, I will definately contact Randall first. Randall had a contact that is a permanent resident on the same floor to assist us if we needed anything, which was re-assuring. It was a great time and I would highly reccomend it. Its an easy drive from the St.Pete/Clearwater airport, and the Beach shuttle bus runs by at least every 30 minutes, you could get by nicely even withoug a car.

I have had the pleasure of staying at this condo a few times. It is located on a beautiful part of the white sandy Gulf beaches and is just minutes away from fantastic food, fun and shopping. There's a lot to do in the Tampa Bay area, and this condo is just about in the perfect spot to get to all of it with very little hassle, not to mention Orlando being less than 2 hours away. The owners recently updated most of the interior of the condo and it is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to go back!
