The property was as pictured. The gulf front balcony was wonderful!
10.0 / 10.0
Our family was in town to visit other relatives that live just a few doors down. It was a great stay! Very clean and the balcony is nice and large. Just steps and you're on the beach. Only note is that shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were not provided, so be sure to bring your own.
8.0 / 10.0
The property is in a great location. The balcony overlooks the beach. The property manager was very responsive.
The interior is a little tired. Per some earlier reviews, the sheets are very old and need replacing, the sofa also is way past its best.
Otherwise, this property makes for a wonderful week at the beach.

It is a good place on a great beach and it needs some tending! No screens on the doors and lots of bugs-- I was covered in bites; the quality of the sheets is extremely low-- rough, scratchy and old! The pillows on the bed also old and no choice for different preferences. Dishes and kitchen ware were good. The drain in the master bath is stuck shut; hairdryer on 2nd bath didn't work...and the air conditioning blows directly on the smaller bed making it very hard for that person . The vent could not be adjusted, I say all this be cause it is a fabulous location and had the potential to be a great rental. I have run B&B so I o ow that little things can make a big difference.

The location is nice, walkable to many restaurants and very nice beach. We were 2 couples in the condo. The second bedroom was definitely much smaller than the primary, making it tight for one couple. Both bathrooms were comparable. Pictures are accurate portrayal of the condo. Location was very clean and the management company was easy to work with

I was in the area for business, and when in the Tampa area, I always stay in St. Pete Beach, for the past 30 years. It's an amazingly beautiful area and slow paced, which makes combining business with beach community, almost seem like a vacation. Normally I stay at the Alden up the street but that was sold out and I decided to try a VRBO instead; I will never go back to anything but this place if available for future visits to the area. The property manager is spectacular and answered questions ASAP with an easy and very personal check-in process that was appreciated. The condo itself is located quite close to the Don Cesar side of the beach and offers a very private beach feel and view with an amazing balcony. You have your own assigned parking spot which is great for not having to "compete" for a parking spot when returning in the evening like you do at resorts. The condo has all the comforts of home as well as beach chairs and a nicely appointed kitchen. The beds are comfortable or at least the one I used. I did use the hot tub one night and the pool area in general is nice and not the large resort style pool with too many people. I didn't see any beach towels so that would be a nice addition if there are none. I would definitely stay here again at any time.

Really enjoyed having a code to open the door instead of a key. Great room. Just wish washer/dryer wasn't in the second bedroom.

Beautiful condo. Perfect for our short stay. Gulf front. Great views. Dedicated parking spot was a bit tough to navigate with a large truck. But we managed.

We love love love the Visitas best place ever!!!!
Second time staying and we will be back :)
This condo could use a new dishwasher for sure!
The blinds in master bedroom are missing a piece which causes sun to shine in, but worse of all you can’t get dress in your room without worrying about weather someone will see you out on the balcony even if it is family….

Great unit and view. Comfortable bed, kitchen supplies terrific. Nice furniture but would have liked a footstool and better patio furniture. Could use a an upgrade for bath towels and absolutely needs better beach furniture.

Great location and easy to check in with a late arrival. Very manageable distance to airport on Uber. Condo was clean and there were plenty of towels and sheets. Excellent balcony to sit and relax. Some maintenance things needed attention and beds probably need to be replaced but overall good value for the location
6.0 / 10.0
Check-in process was easy. The building itself was great. We were on the 2nd floor so view is a bit hindered by the dunes but still nice. The unit was clean as far as the floors and kitchen go. However, the living room furniture needs to be thrown out - the seats of the chairs were gray they were so dirty. The couch is a dark pattern so hard to tell so we just didn't sit on anything - only the balcony chairs. The master bed was beyond awful - like it was a discount store purchase of the cheapest mattress possible. Upon our arrival, I sent the management company photos of the broken shelf in the door of the refrigerator and the messed up patio blinds so they wouldn't try to charge us for damages we didn't do. I found extra pillows in a closet but there were no pillow cases for them. It would have been nice to have a table to sit at on the balcony. I would not rent this unit again - not worth the money.

I'm a local Realtor that lives right down the street from this location. I have out of state clients that ask me about places to stay, so I try out different locations. The view and the location are awesome, The problem is the place smells very musty & both beds along with the couch need to be thrown in the garbage. Everything in this place is wore out, I was very disappointed!

Great views, great location, happy family!
Our family of 5 came for a week. Perfect views, right on the beach, good location. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the beach. There were a couple umbrellas and chairs to use at beach as well as a portable backpack soft side cooler. We didn't rent a car and were able to walk to restaurants, groceries, and shops. Property was as listed, however, master bed very uncomfortable and needed a fan at night, but everything else pretty great! Easy check in, they accommodated our request for a late checkout, noon instead of 4, which was nice since our flights didn't leave until 4. St. Pete beach did not disappoint!

Unit needs updating. Old furniture. Missing vertical slats. No, screens on the sliders.
Assigned parking spot, was designated for smokers. Unable to park there due to health condition. Overall impression not good. Plus found dirty dishes in cabinets. The unit was very disappointing.

Beautiful views
Let me just start by saying how beautiful the views are. The beach is stunning the pool at the hotel was nice. My kids loved it. The check in process was easy( all done thru email). The room at 202 Vistas on the Gulf met my expectations. The pictures of the room were accurate. There was plenty of room for my family of 6. I have 2 complaints. #1 the king size bed in the master was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. It was a SPRING mattress from like 1986. Hard as a rock and could feel the springs, the bed in the second bedroom was soft and newer. #2 DOGS. I specifically booked this condo because it said NO PETS. The room next to us had dogs in it that barked allllllll day. The property manager was very quick to take care of the problem, but only 1 dog was removed. I didn’t say anything a second time because the dogs that stayed were quiet. I saw a lot of people with dogs here. The guy who takes care of the pool even spoke to a lady with her dog snd never mentioned no dogs. I probably will not come back because of the dog issue and if I did I would get a different room because the bed was horrible. But my stay was amazing. I love visiting St Pete beach. Thank you .

Could not beat the view from our balcony! The only downside was the size of the pool.

Great location
Our stay at Belle Vista was just what we expected. Perfect location, with a great view. The property had a very well stocked kitchen, although we didn't cook at all during our stay. The beds were comfortable, the sleeper sofa not as much, but thats to be expected. The unit was clean, with a bit of a sandy floor which you get at the beach. We just washed our feet before bed, lol. The check in process was a little confusing. We arrived after hours, and when I first called the number, I was told we would have to drive up to Madeira Beach to get a key from the lock box. I re-read my emails, which only said to call the number after hours, so I called back. This time, with a little more communication back and forth, the rep was able to find and give me a key code for the unit.
I also could not find wifi information, so we called about that. Finally, I could not find any information on check-out. We just did what we usually do which is leave the beds unmade; start a load of towels in the washer; run the dishwasher; and take out all the garbage.

Falsely advertised as 2 Bedroom
Overall fine, dated, typical St. Pete Beach property. Major problem for us is that THIS IS NOT A 2 BEDROOM UNIT. the "second bedroom" has NO DOOR. That means it's NOT A BEDROOM. It also does not have a closet. It's NOT A BEDROOM. I rented this place because it was advertised as a 2 bedroom. It is NOT a 2 bedroom unit. Yes, it sleeps 6. Yes, there is a bed in an alcove, foyer area near the entryway, but that room is NOT A BEDROOM. There is NO DOOR on it. Because I rented through VRBO, the rental agency who owns the property could not reimburse me or compensate me, they told me I have to take it up with VRBO. That seems to be a near impossibility except through this review process. Long story short, great location, great view off the balcony, low average accommodation cleanliness and style wise, NOT A 2 BEDROOM. BEWARE: You are paying 2 bedroom price for a 1 bedroom unit.

St. PEte BEach
Unit was nice and clean, reserved parking. Awesome view - direct beach front. Had to ask for a fan for bedroom - unit was nice and cold but no ceiling fans and bedroom could get stagnet at night. Everything was functional - kitchen appliances could use an update as well as towels. Betty was super nice in the office. Would stay again. Did not use the spa, but pool and spa area was very clean, kitchen very well stocked. We took chairs from unit down to beach instead of renting. Good location.

Great location and balcony on St Pete Beach
We had a great stay at this property, unit 202. We loved the wide balcony and proximity to the beach. The beach is amazing and the water was clear and warm. Inside could use a few more basics like extra trash bags, hand soap, beach towels, but overall we loved the property and would highly recommend.

The property looks great. Our room was clean. We loved the 2nd floor. When checking with TRS, the girl was so friendly and all ready had our paperwork in the room. The check in was efficient.
