Overall the stay was amazing! The resort was quiet and peaceful. Was right on the beach with I think 3 or 4 access points from the room. Within walking distance to multiple local restaurants and shops. Loved to walk around and see everything. The beach access directly in front of the resort was so nice and that part od the beach was not over crowded like some of the other resorts. Would definitely stay here again. The house has everything you need the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and appliances. Bathroom is a little tight but it looks newly remodeled. Fit 8 of us perfectly.

The apartment was clean and well stocked, had all of the necessary kitchenware to make in house meals, saving a few dollars on eating out each day. Check in was easy, they do offer a parking permit. Property is right at the beach entrance and the pool area is nice.

The Friendly Native property has been our go to for 15 years and we have stayed is several units. We have had no complaints until this unit. All the beds were uncomfortable, like a water bed when anyone moved, sloping to the middle from both sides. There were no dish towels or pot holders in the kitchen. We had to use one of the only two wash clothes from the bathroom. For the price we paid the furnishings should have more comfortable, you could feel the wood frame in the only chair in the living room. All the stools were of the cheapest wooden kind with no backs and were not comfortable to sit on for more than 2 minutes at a time.

The condo was very clean and was just like what was in the pictures. The location can not be beat being right by the pool and a block from the beach. The ocean view is great to view beautiful sunsets. There are many restaurants within walking distance too. Rodger was great with communicating in a timely manner and answered all our questions. I would recommend staying here and we'll definitely be back in the future!

This unit isn't the most updated, feels like a college apartment with nothing matching and random photos on the walls. It was very clean and we weren't there to be inside. Tile floors throughout. Bathroom is tight. Shower has been updated but the vanity is to large for the space. Two normal sized people do not fit. Living room chair is past it prime, it's like sitting on wood. Beds were comfy. Queen in one room, 2 doubles in the the other. No roof top access has been set up which is to bad. Kitchen has everything you would need to cook any meal, drip coffee pot, toaster, blender, pots and pans, no dishwasher. Pool area is great and the beach is steps away. Walking distance to 8 or 10 restaurants. Parking wasn't an issue as there are permit parking areas for FN guest. There were 2 bag chairs and 2 beach towels. Bring TP, paper towel, tissue, trash bags for your stay.

Nice place in a great location. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants. We were close to the beach and it seemed a little quieter than other nearby beaches. The pool and pool area were also nice. This place had everything we needed for our family!

You can’t beat this location! The condo was clean and very comfortable. Steps to the beach and a very nice pool area! It was great.

We stayed in St. Pete’s for a week while my daughter toured colleges. We wanted to spend our down time on the beach so this condo was the perfect fit. We arrived really early in the morning, 1am so the virtual check in was awesome. The condo was clean, bedding was fresh and parking was ideal. Throughout the week we explored St. Pete’s. Loved the secret garden, shell hunting and Larry’s Ice Cream. We would definitely stay again,

Great place for a family. Clean and reasonably quiet. Very short walk to a great spot on the beach. Had everything we needed for the week! We cooked most meals in the room, had all the essentials. Would def stay again

This is by far our favorite area to vacation in. The restaurants are great, there are seashells galore and the food is amazing. Seriously, this is my 4th time in the last 18 months staying in the area.
The unit was clean and is perfectly located. But it is starting to show its age. Several lights didn't work and a couple doors stick, or the knob is hard to turn. But nothing that would deter us from staying here again!
4.7
Location is the best thing--a very short stroll on the boardwalk to get to St. Pete beach. Also central along the main drag, so easy to walk or drive to restaurants.
Condo was absolutely fine. Ignore the silly comments about "dated"--the interior was clean and simple. I don't go to FL expecting to be wowed by interior design. As long as it isn't gross, which it wasn't.
Pool area was nicer than expected, and very well-maintained.
I would give the kitchen a B- . It had all the basics, and we didn't cook much, so it was fine. If you were going to cook a lot, you might find a few things missing (colander, grater).
Very small nitpick, they only have 1 couch and a so-so stuffed chair. So barely enough comfortable seating for 4.
The clientele in the unit seemed nice. Noisy just one night. All in all, a good crowd.
Would definitely stay here again.

Ideal location steps from beach-gorgeous view of the gulf from the condo unit. Friendly, relaxing pool area. Walking distance from shops, bars and restaurants. Everything you need provided. We would definitely return!
4.7
Great location and view. Could use some updating.

This place is what you'd expect for a great value that is as close to the beach as you can get without being on it! Not perfect but if you're reasonable about what to expect for what you're paying you will be very happy with the unit. Place was clean and well kept minus the back door needs some work (doesn't close properly but will lock with deadbolt if you pull on it while turning deadbolt)
No crazy cleaning procedures to perform so that's a major plus for me!
Bring your own beach towels they are not supplied for free!
Check in and check out instructions were clear and delivered on check in day. Overall 5 stars from me. THANKS!
4.7
The condo is convenient to the beach, just a short walk across the street. However, the condo would be better if the owner pays attention to the following:
1. The TV in one of the bedrooms is not working at all. We have kids from 8 to 15 and they like to watch different programs.
2. The Wi-Fi is not reliable. My work laptop is unable to connect no matter how I played with it.
3. The owner didn't seem pleasant answering over the phone.
4. One of the doors to get into the condo was very sticky and hard to push.

The property was clean and very accommodating. The area was great and free of commercialization. Other guests were very friendly. One evening a couple sang and played guitar poolside. The location to the beach was great. Loved the security of the locks on door vs. trying to keep up with key card. I would not change a thing.

We've stayed at the Friendly Native before, and really like the location and neighborhood. Before we booked 1 bedroom which was a little cramped for out family. This time we booked this unit for its 2 bedrooms and pullout couch for more space and comfort. It is a large unit with plenty of space. Nice sized bedrooms and kitchen. The bathroom is a little tight, but has a nice big shower, which is a bonus. The new parking permit system seems to work better, and never had trouble finding parking. We will definitely book this unit again next time we visit St. Pete Beach.

Across the parking lot from the beach. Plenty of shops restaurants and bars in walking distance. Pretty much anything you need. Parking during the busy weekends is a challenge. But you really don't need to drive anywhere to get too places.

Amazing location but outdated
The location was amazing - view of the beach and pool from the kitchen, walking distance to so many bars and restaurants, easy check in process and the place itself was decent. I gave it 4/5 stars only because there were a few areas we noticed had food spills that weren't cleaned throughout the place when we arrived. Also, this place could use a bit of updating in terms of decor, furniture and amenities. Overall we had a great time.

Great location
One of my favorite things about this place was the bed set up. I wish more places offered more beds like this! The location was fantastic, with many restaurants in walking distance and the beach right there! We struggled with the parking issue because we were coming in 2 different vehicles. We had to pay an additional $50 to rent an extra parking pass. For what we paid as it was, it seemed a bit excessive to have to pay so much for an extra space. We had to bring our own supply of hand soap and there was a few drops of dish soap available to do the mandatory dish washing at the end of the stay. Overall, it was a nice place to stay. It's an older place, but very clean. I'm one to wipe everything down with sanitizing Wipes when I get to any place to stay and all of the surfaces were so clean, the Wipes stayed white!

Great location!
This property was across a parking lot from St. Pete Beach. Perfect location! The heating system was not working when the temperature dropped. Roger responded immediately with a service call and when a part was needed, he provided two space heaters until it could be fixed the next day.

Our experience with Roger our property manager was excellent. He answered any questions or concerns we had. Excellent location in relation to the beach and restaurants. We would return for another visit.

Our family had a marvelous stay at Friendly Natives on St Pete Beach. The view of the beach from the unit was really nice and the beach is just across the street, so close. The heated pool was a big hit with the kids (with lots of beach/pool toys). Linens were exceptionally clean, as was the unit. We will definitely be back next year.

Was worried at first with all the things you need to have a functioning kitchen and place to work with but this place was well managed had pots pans even foil and wax paper. Just was nice to have some of the stuff you need but take for granted. Also was able to accommodate a late check out. Thanks so much for sharing your property with us Rodger S! Would definitely consider staying here again for a future visit.
