The decor of condo was lovely!
6.0 / 10.0
The property and location was great. Condo is renovated with a few things that could use some attention. Folding closet doors wont stay on Tracks, towel rack in master bath is loose, and the transition from living room flooring into kitchen flooring is loose and is a trip hazard. Otherwise the property is nice. Management needs work on customer service and general communication skills.
6.0 / 10.0
The location was great. Near shopping, food and the beach. The condo was updated but needed so maintenance (floor, towel racks and closet doors). Property management was poor. Very unhelpful. We reported a homeless person camping near our vehicle on the property and was told that WE needed to contact a local shelter and that it was not managements concern. The property was also not very clean. The floors have not been swept and mopped properly. Hair in the bathroom floor, visible dirt on cabinet handles, fridge handles and sink. There were also crumbs under the placemat on the kitchen table.

location is good, building nice on beach. Didn't have condo cleaned well counter tops and sink dirty with crumbs. Kitchen table crumbs all over it. Dryer could be fire hazard vent full also into dryer pulled out a pile of lint. Really needs taken care of

Not a huge building so not as much foot traffic and noise from building. Pool was nice and just the right temp especially when the ocean was cold however hot tub was almost too hot and was better suited for an Alaskan vacation. Overall great place to stay! Family friendly!
8.0 / 10.0
Nice small condo facing Gulf Blvd and public beach parking. Not a lot of amenities for cooking, just the bare basics. The Condo had at least 4 electronic “room fresheners”, which were overpowering.

Good property with a great location; access to beach, near restaurants and grocery store. Only downfall is the street noise, as the unit is right off the street
8.0 / 10.0
Condo decorated nicely. Comfy Bed. On the beach where cabanas are available. Small pool. Pool chairs need updated.
Condo is located right across the street from Publix, Dollar Tree, and restaurants. Easiest to walk as the road is super busy.

Tried to get in a little early r told NO but unit was clean and empty. Unit wad beautiful and we had a great time. Would come back. Right on the brach

6.0 / 10.0
The unit is very well furnished, clean and welcoming.
4.0 / 10.0
When we arrived we found the unit to be at the streetside corner of an old motel type set up.
1. The pictures and description of the unit are extremely illuding. Grant it its a decently furnished unit (fence the 2 stars), there is absolutely positively no view of the beach from the unit but instead the parking lot of the public beach parking (where the police staged every night), and the shell gas station across the street.
2. The motel is on the main strip so it was LOUD all the time. Sirens, police, firetrucks, cars racing, motorcycles, firetruck, etc.
3. The pool is the size of an oversized tub and the area around it is not the cleanest so we couldn't enjoy that amenity. And those grills down in that dark basement area? NO THANK YOU.
4. We arrived the evening of 7/6 (11pm) and soon realized the toilet in the main bathroom near the front door did not work, had no water was running to it, and didn't have any water in the reservoir when we tried to flush it. We called it in on 7/7, spoke with a woman from the support line who said she'd get it reported and was sending someone to us. No one ever showed up and the toilet remained with urine and tissue in it, which eventually began to create an odor. Our trip was impacted by inconvenience and that odor EVERY DAY. We paid $356 (most likely for "maintenance and cleaning fees") and yet, we couldn't get the toilet fixed - when it was broke to begin with. There wasn't even a note informing us before our stay. We emailed VACASA yesterday and still no one has reached back out. But that maintenance lady sure showed up to get the room ready for the next guess at 10am on the dot! And then we're asked to help the cleaning crew by washing linen and dishes??? Won't do that location again.

This condo was the perfect spot to spend a week at the beach. Beautifully decorated. Clean, well supplied kitchen, comfortable bed, easy access to the beach or pool if you prefer. Location is great for restaurants, grocery store, and most importantly, a beautiful beach. Loved the convenience of have washer and dryer in the unit. We would definitely stay in this condo again!

Beautiful condo! It was clean & had everything we needed provided in the condo. The location was perfect/unbeatable! Publix is across the street, great restaurants nearby, & the beach is at your front door! Very convenient & very walkable. Highly recommend this unit!

We had a great stay. Everything was as advertised. Updated appliances and beautiful decor. There were enough starter items such as soap, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and even a couple of coffee pods to get us through until we could walk to publix. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fans worked great. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and we took advantage of the Freebie and the free beach rides. The roku tv was great when we needed time to just rest a bit. Definitely recommend and would love to stay here on our next trip to St. Pete!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was very clean and appealing. The proximity to and easy access to the beach was great. The decor was charming. The bathrooms were very clean and nice. The bed was good (a dresser for clothes is really an overlooked item that would be a welcome addition) the dining table and chairs very nice, the sofa looked nice but was not very comfortable, the balcony was very nice. It was great having the use of a beach umbrella and a couple of beach chairs. All in all we really liked the place and would definitely stay there again

Recently remodeled, clean unit and exactly as described. Location was probably the best on the beach and we used both the pool and the beach equally. Unit was well stocked and with grocery store and pharmacy across the street we always had everything we needed. Also management was very responsive to our questions and helpful. We will be back.

4th time using Teeming Vacation Rentals. Great company to work with. This was our third time staying at gulf strand. I would stay at any of the 3 but #308 was our favorite. The owners left a basket with all kind of snacks and a bottle of wine! Right on the beach and close to everything. Publix is across the street. If you don’t want to cook or go out Publix has a great made to order sub sandwich. The condo is clean and there’s a closet with chairs etc. for the beach. There’s a bathroom by the pool. Don’t let the outside of the drunken clam fool you, looks like a dump but has the best wings! No need for a car, you can take the trolley all the way to Clearwater and back. Free beach rides is another way to go and Freebee ride will take you to pass a grille.

Had a wonderful stay at this property!! Literally steps to the beach with a private entrance, pool and items to bring to beach (umbrellas/chairs/etc). It’s in a great location with lots of delicious restaurants and fun bars. I would definitely like to return to this property when I return to St. Pete’s beach’s

Upon check-in, we were greeted with a great gift basket and a kind note from the hosts. Such a nice touch! The king sized bed was so comfortable and we slept better here than we do in our own bed at home! We had 2 guests sleep on the pull-out couch and they said it was spacious and comfy. The 2nd bathroom was super handy for our guests too. There were beach chairs and equipment available to us in the closet, as well as a puzzle and monopoly. There were so many activities nearby. We really enjoyed our stay here! Nicely updated kitchen and bathrooms! 10/10 would definitely stay here again!

This is our second visit to unit 308, it’s a really lovely property and a great location! Check in and out is very simple and the Sea Turtle restaurant, across the street, is great.

Clean, cute, comfortable- great location! The condo had everything we needed which made my trip so much more relaxing- but if you did need something there are stores very close. We had a great time- the bed was really comfortable.
