This condo is in the perfect location, just steps from the beach which was very convenient. Overall, the property was clean and in good shape. The living room, eating area and kitchen are all open to each other which makes for easy entertaining. The bathrooms are nicely updated.
Some things that could be addressed to make for a perfect stay would be new mattresses. The bedding was very nice but the actual beds were not. Both my adult kids, of average height had their feet hanging off the end of the beds as they slept. The king in primary bedroom is large but uncomfortable and fairly soft and saggy. There was no operational beach umbrella, they were all broken and the beach chairs have lived a good life and should be replaced. I also really think they should be kept inside unit or on respective porch as they are just laying under property in carport and anyone could take them.
The largest issue was serious construction going on in the unit above us. As a realtor, I know this was likely not last minute as that is what was communicated to us when I texted owner. ANY kind of heads up and/or discount would have been appreciated. We were awoken very early, had high levels of noise and then dirt/dust/sand dropping on us on the outside deck from above. They did stop on second day once I inquired about what was going on but started up again early on our day of departure.
This unit has the capability of being almost perfect but for some of these unfortunate snafus.

We had a rough start to our stay because we couldn't get a hold of the owners for entrance requirements. As soon as they answered the phone they took care of everything in a very timely manner. We enjoyed the property and even the little extras, like beach chairs. Thanks for the great Thanksgiving Holiday memories!

We have stayed here before and feel it is a hidden gem. The home is clean and convenient to everything. Steps from the beach. We only use the car when we go to the grocery store. Only concern is the mosquitoes on the porch. We left a citronella candle and used bug spray. We are already planning next summer’s visit before all the weeks sell out!!

I almost jokingly put “don’t stay here” in the title because I don’t want to fight with the rest of y’all for booking dates when we return. Couldn’t bring myself to do that though as this was such a great news place and location.
Beach is so close! Quick walk across tiny parking lot over a short bridge and boom you are there! The locker eith beach supplies was great! Like take a penny leave a penny we borrowed some things for the beach and left a few things for the next people. Umbrella in the locked was great! CV down the road has more of you need shade. I recommend getting some shade!
Beds are comfy. Despite have 2 different families above us over the course of the trip there was not very much noise from them walking around.
The location food was great! We walked to dinner most nights. JD and ice cream shop are must stops. PJs was meh IMO

Extremely clean on check in. Linens, towels etc were very nice, not old. Special touches such as sponge/dishwasher pods set out, new soap containers, etc were great. Extremely comfy KING bed.. Had everything we could need- everything worked perfectly. great location with walk to places for fun and food. Got good recommendations and area information the Guest book. Lots of chairs and beach "toys". It was the best beach place we have stayed at yet.

The location for this cottage was wonderful! We loved having such a close proximity to beach access.
I will say that the shower heads in both bathrooms were awful. Also the shower curtain in the main bathroom was moldy.
Communication was great. Access to parking was easy. Proximity to beach was perfect.

My siblings and our significant others stayed at this property for 4 days. It was a fabulous time, just steps away from the beach, Crabby Bills, CVS and a cute coffee shop called Pipo & Betty’s. We had such a nice time with the direct beach access and the outdoor balcony at the property. The owner was so easy to work with and was a wonderful communicator. We would definitely stay here again!! I highly recommend.

Everything about this property is as was expected from the listing. There were no surprises. And that's what was so great. The location, the apartment layout, amenities, it was our escape. We rented out the lower level of a 2 story condo, and it was enough stairs, if you needed to climb stairs. Just a minute stroll to a quiet powdery sanded gentle beach. Quiet though adjacent to the local main drag, while enjoying life on the deck. Under the elevated condo plentiful beach supplies available for use if you need them. A bbq and relaxing chairs available if you desire. A shower outside below the apartment to wash off beach sand. A quiet little beachfront town. More shopping and restaurant choices just a 5-10 minute drive. The apartment amenities, again, home away from home. And if you want to go north or south to other landmarks, nothing is far. Any questions, and owners Udalmis and her husband are nearby and quick to respond. If you need a tropical escape to clear out the mental cobwebs of life, this is it.

My kids and I stayed here for a short 3 night stay. Everything we needed was here and the owner was very easy to communicate with. It's a nice little area with great beach access. It's within Walking distance to local restaurants.

Just as described on listing. Want to sit at the beach, only about 100 yard walk from the property and don't even need to cross a street. White sandy beach as apposed to some beaches that are all sea shells. We enjoyed our stay and will consider returning next year.

Great location to walk to restaurants, shopping and the BEACH! We had a great time at this super cute house!
2.5
Super place to stay, all the necessities and more. Check in was easy and Idalmis was prompt to reply to any questions we had. There was plenty of room for 5 adults and a child and the beach was only a couple minute walk away if you walk slow. The only complaint I have is I wish we could have stayed longer but we are already planning for next time. We had a great time and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Idalmis for having us.

Loved the beach house vibe and location, it was just what we were looking for! We rented both top and bottom units for my family, my mom flew out from California to stay she was in love with the house and the vicinity to the beach as well! Loved the firepit and the fact that the kitchens had everything you could think of, utensils, coffee maker, blender etc. We will definitely be adding this as one of our yearly family vacations!

The location is great just a short walk to the beach.

Hadn't seen my grandsons in over a year as they were held hostage in NY due to Covid - the house is walkable to the beach, food and shops so it was less time loading up and driving around and more quality time together. We hope to get back together at this place again soon. It was perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay on the lower unit! It was so convenient to the beach. It’s not beach front but the deck has a view of the water and it’s a very short walk to the sand. The condo had great amenities like a full kitchen and washer and dryer. The space below the condo was nice for storing our beach chairs and sand toys and for hanging beach towels to dry! There’s even an outdoor shower and hose.There’s easy parking spots too. The owner was quick to respond if I had a question. The beds were comfy and the condo was extremely clean. I would stay here again for sure and highly recommend this place to all!

Overall, a great place to stay, literally a few steps away from the walkway to the beach. Not "beachfront" and no view, but as close as it gets. Super close to coffee shops & restaurants, across the main road in town.
The apartment was clean and well kept but shows its age. New laminate wood flooring except the bathrooms. A/C works great, washer and dryer too.
I'd recommend the owner to buy a new mattress in the master bedroom. The springs squeak like crazy, even when turning around while sleeping. The sofa bed needs a new mattress, too.
Other than these little things, you won't regret staying here. Thank you for your hospitality!

It was very clean and inviting. Wish the porch was truly facing the beach. The porch was really nicely shaded during the day. At night we enjoyed the cool breezes. Will visit again for sure!

We had such a fantastic stay here! It was a perfect fit for me and my 3 cousins. We stayed in the lower level , which there are stairs since it is a home built on stilts. It is better and bigger than the pictures and exceptionally clean! Beds are extremely comfortable! Pretty well stocked with everything you need.
Great places to eat (including ice-cream) right across the street. The beach is right there. Covered parking, relaxing deck out our front door we enjoyed as well. We didn't take advantage of the fire pit but I think it's a nice touch and manager had all supplies there. Speaking of the manager/owner, she was the probably the best I have rented from. Always answered me immediately if I had questions or if I needed anything. My deposit was returned I believe by the time I got home! I would definitely recommend and return to this condo. You shouldn't hesitate on this one. A great place to eat while your there - Jimmy's Fish house in Clearwater. Lots of outdoor seating, sunset view, wonderful live music, and food was incredible too. :)
Thanks for sharing your place with us.

We had a wonderful week long stay. Steps from the beach, restaurants, and beach equipment rental company (paddle boards, etc). Our family of five enjoyed the beautiful Gulf sunsets. We stayed in the upstairs unit. It was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. It had a well equipped kitchen. Plenty of towels for all of us. Lots of room to relax and enjoy time together and space to be alone, as well. They had a wonderful collection of books to borrow, as well as dvd's. Under the cottage, there is an outside dining area. Lounge chairs, grills, and a fire pit in the front yard. Lots of beach chairs, toys, and buckets for play at the beach. We visited Busch Gardens and Adventure Islands during our stay. They were only about an hour away. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing vacation. Thank you!

We just needed a few days away from the Michigan winter weather and found this wonderful place that we could even take our little dog. We loved this location and all that the condo offered. The beach was quiet, close, and clean. The condo has everything you need and more. Very clean and spacious. Within walking distance to restaurants, the nature reserve, and local shops. Very affordable for all that is offered. We would love to visit again and highly recommend this place to other visitors.

Let me start by saying the cottage was fantastic and it absolutely played a big role in our vacation being one to remember. It is right the middle of everything. We walked to a lot of the restaurants we ate at. The proximity to the beach was great too and you don't have to worry about crossing the street which is a big plus. It was a little surprising when we arrived that the porch over looked a parking lot. The house is completely surrounded by other houses so although you are right next to the beach you won't be looking out at the water on your porch each night. Gulf blvd can be a very loud road, but if you want proximity to restaurants you'll need to deal with noise.
House is very nice, plenty of beach chairs were provided which is thoughtful and there was plenty of room to visit. All in all it was a great place to take a vacation.

Four of us stayed in this unit over Christmas. Everything we needed was there. This beach is quieter than some of the other beaches. It feels like you have your own piece of the Gulf Coast.
We recommend it highly and will stay again.

We love this location. We live a few minutes away but like to stay at the beach sometimes. Went with friends. The place was bigger than it looked in the pictures. Very clean and spacious. The price is great

Very friendly & accomodating owners as well as the local towns people. We ejoyed a relaxing & fun stay at the cottage which was clean spacious. Everything you could think of was there, just pack your bags & go. You can rent scooters, bicycles, or hop on the trolley for some adventures. Just steps to the beach to enjoy sunrise or sunset, collect shells, exercise or do some fishing. Few minutes to local store to shop for groceries so you can sit out & grill after a day at the beach, or just relax on the porch with some ice cream from one of the ice cream shops.

We stayed in the lower unit for 3 glorious weeks in March . Unit had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the beach was perfect, along with the restaurants and CVS. Only a short drive into Clearwater or St Petes for any other adventures we went on. We will definitely visit IRB again and hope to be able to book the lower unit at this location when we do.
