Summary of reviews
Great location, beach, pool, view, and easy check-in. Well-appointed with cleaning supplies and beach towels. Walking distance to restaurants and bars.
1.0
This condo is self-described as "newly remodeled" and "newly renovated" so we were surprised by the following:
-doorknobs coming off in our hands when opening closets
-sand in the beds, between the sheets
-curtain rods falling easily when we attempted to gently close the blinds
-several baskets in the kitchen with years-old food left to decay there
-dirty and deflated couch in the main living area.
The beach is across the street, and there is a pool within this complex that you have access to. Presumably this proximity is why the price per night is so high. But it bears mentioning for future guests that paying this price does *not* mean you won't be able to easily hear other renters and tenants in the condo above you and in the stairwell-you will. And it does not mean the condo is pristinely kept. We were further surprised that we were only provided with 1.5 rolls of toilet paper for two people, for four days.
The beach was lovely.

Great: The location, the beach, the pool, the view, restaurants within walking distance, beach bars are pretty darn close (just a short walk down the beach), the on-site property manager is a gem and the check-in was easy. Keypad entry is so nice. Beach towels included.
Good: New flooring, counters, fresh paint and nice updates within the property, well-appointed place--had everything we needed, plenty of towels, hand towels, washcloths, etc., really appreciated cleaning supplies available to do clean ups if needed.
Things to improve: Plates in the cabinets were not clean. Limited counter space and storage space. Old couch. We did see and kill one cockroach in the kitchen. We had to go to Home Depot to get spray and sticky traps. The host was very apologetic and messaged that it was a palmetto bug and they are very common. She indicated the building manager sprays every month. The host indicated they had a property directly below us that was empty that we could move to the next day. We did not move because honestly moving a floor below did not seem to assure us that it would be bug free. We believe an exterminator did come into the property the following day and spray but they did not leave anyway for us to know that. It would have been nice for them to refund one or two night's stay.

The location is amazing. It is right across from the beach and walking distance to many delicious and fun restaurants to visit. This is the second time I have stayed in this complex. You can hear neighbors moving around at night. Not a big deal as it is so close to the many things we wanted to do while there.
5.0
We have been on many family vacations, but I must say, the property, neighborhood and location were by far, the most relaxing of any other travels. Will probably be booking next year.

Easy access to the beach and away from the main tourist strip where most of the hotels are. Walking distance to many restaurants and ice cream shops and not far away from marinas if you are wanting to do some water activities.

I used to own a unit at Gulf Winds for 10 years and still come back here any time I visit St Pete Beach.

I like that this unit has the extra twin bunk in one of the rooms, however, the cleaning people either missed this unit all together or missed changing sheets on the beds. One set of sheets were disgusting - feeling gross from this, it caused us to scrutinize all other areas; dirty old carpet, old worn couch, the base of the bathroom door is warped. The front office offered clean sheets but in emailing the property managers, I never received a response or credit for cleaning fee. This unit was much more expensive than a similar more updated unit but given that there are few vacancies in St Pete, they are able to do it. I hope they can someday improve this unit. It could be great.

The place could be so much prettier if they do new flooring.. Get rid of carpet. Carpet is old. Kitchen was greasy. Everything -pan and cup needed to be washed before we used. Too many old appliances in kitchen like a bread maker and rice steamer. Don’t need all that. Toaster microwave and coffee pot and a blender is fgreat. each person had only 1 body towel. Need more bathroom towels. Need to have more beach towels too. A medium size cooler would be helpful for beach beverages .
Having said that- it’s a great location. Close to pool beach. Had a beautiful view. Slept everyone comfortbly. We would stay there again. Just deep clean the kitchen. Get a new dw so It cleans better.

Nice view of the beach. Beds were comfortable. Carpet and furniture was dirty and in need of cleaning or replacing. Towels were ample and new. Our biggest knock on the unit was the air conditioning. It was as substandard. We followed the instructions regarding not turning it to less than 72 degrees. The air handler coils froze up and the unit dripped water out on to the carpet in the storage closet. A bucket was luckily available to catch the water. I’d say the drain line is stopped up. Also, likely the refrigerant is not at full level since the inside coil froze up at 72 degrees. I saw from previous reviews that the A/C is an ongoing problem. There were no kitchen garbage bags available and had to be bought. Parking is a problem in this location. If you leave your spot during the day you likely won’t get another until after dark when visitors leave the beach. The beach was great and a easy walk across the street. Restaurants in walking distance and they were really good. Outlets and light switches were hard to figure out. Lots of extension cords. TV & internet were good. Seating for more than 4 people would be a challenge. As said, carpet needs cleaning but replacement would be better. There was no way to text or communicate directly with the owner. Beach chairs were not the greatest. I’d suggest folks bring their own if you don’t want to sit 8 inches above the beach sand. Easy to get to and felt safe.

You cannot beat the location! It is right across the street from the beach and very convenient. This alone made our stay here worthwhile. Parking was easy, the pool was nice, and the condo had a prime location within the complex. The living room furniture is worn and in need of replacing, but the bedrooms were nice and had comfortable beds. I was disappointed to learn that the condo does NOT have a pack and play as advertised (I had to drive to 2 Walmarts at 10:30 p.m. to find and purchase one upon arrival). Other than that we experienced no issues during our stay.

Paint is old and tired. WHITE base boards are dingy and dirty. Grout on floors is black in high traffic areas.
Furniture is old and dirty. Living room blinds didn't work, neither did the Television. We blew bedroom fuse by plugging in fans. A cup of coffee in a ceramic mug and hot chocolate in a thermos mug were found in kitchen cupboard.. Several ice cube trays are broken.. Bathtub plunger did not work. Safety bar handrail grouting was full of black mold. Black mold on ceiling edge meets wall. Seniors living in complex dominated shallow end for water class during prime swimming hours when our two granddaughters could be swimming. (1PM-3PM) when most people are back from their am outings/tours. They also saved their tables and chairs early in the morning by leaving towels, mugs. Or shoes when they weren't using the pool area.
Dining room ceiling fan was caked with dust.
Bedroom doors were cracked and peeling. Silverware organizer was full of crumbs. Coffee table full of crumbs on edge of glass and wicker.
5 towels supplied for 5 people. No beach towels available in condo.
Overall this condo gets a D for cleanliness.

My friends and I really enjoyed the place we rented. There were a few pros and cons, but overall our experience was good.
Pros: right in front of the beach
Pros: AC - it’s a must
Cons: Furniture is somewhat old. We definitely needed more trash bags, toilet paper. Advice for the owner - get new towels and newer fans.

My husband and I know the area and Gulf Winds well, so my critique is an honest one having visited this area for over 30 years. The location of the unit and Gulf Winds cannot be beat with respect to proximity of the beach. But, the unit itself could really use a facelift and new appliances. The carpet is dated and worn, the furniture needs to be replaced, and the doors are all splintering from the bottom. You can't really open the windows to allow for the sea air at night, and the kitchen does not have a good flow to it. There were so many plastic bottles and containers. The a/c didn't work very well in the master bedroom (minimal air flow which required us to attempt to open the windows), and there were no towels available for use at the beach. Had I known this, I would have brought our own. Instead, we had to make a trip to Wings. The towels that were provided (a total of 6) were very thin and never dried, and I spoke to management about that upon checkout. I had to launder them myself, and those machines don't dry things either. There is no good place to dry anything either (even though you had an abundance of hooks). I understand this is a family unit, as evidence by the many photos hanging throughout the unit. But, it was very apparent that the monies received from rental income pay for the family world travel vacation fund and are not necessarily invested back into the unit. Suggestion: while the photos are beautiful, please consider removing them or make the necessary updates to the unit. Other Gulf Winds units have been updated. I think the description is a bit misleading......the updated kitchen looks nothing like mine at home.
