Condo was very nice plenty of room for 2 of us, great views of bay and doc fords restaurant right next door , only draw back was the causeway bridge was quite noisy when sitting out but condo was quiet when inside !!

We stayed at this lovely condo for 9 nights in March. It is a compact 1 bedroom unit that was very clean and tastefully decorated. Lots of towels and bedding . Included soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies. The balcony was large and we saw dolphins almost every day in the bay. Also enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the balcony. The only negative was it’s close proximity to a busy road, which was quite loud when on the balcony. The building had a lovely warm pool - you could not hear the road noise when at the pool.
It was close to grocery stores, restaurants , a large mall and the beach was a short 10 minute drive .
All in all it was a great place to enjoy a vacation!

Had some problems at the beginning of our stay that were resolved by owner which we appreciated. The furniture had some large stains on it and we notified the owner about them. He said he planned to take care of that in the summer when it’s slower. We thought that was odd because it seems that you’d want your renters to have a good impression of where they stayed for 3 weeks. It’s an end unit next to a busy highway and bridge so the noise was terrible , too noisy to use the deck. Nice pool area and could see some dolphins. There happened to be red tide during our stay so lots of dead fish in the water in front of the condos, got quite smelly if the wind blew the air in our direction. One of the guests asked the maintenance man if anyone cleaned them up and he said it wasn’t his job and he didn’t know if anyone else would. We had our small dog along so we explored many beautiful parks in the area.

We spent a month. The property itself is pleasant. But it's next to a highway with a constant stream of fast-moving traffic that only lets up between midnight and 5 am. It's nearly impossible to make a left turn from the driveway to go to the beaches or reach the Pinellas Trail.
If you prefer quiet vacations limited to your balcony and the pool, it's fine. If you like to bike, hike or just take quiet walks away from noisy traffic without making mad dashes across 5-6 lanes, keep looking.
5.0 / 5.0
Cozy place with a water view from the balcony. A lot of traffic on the bridge near by. But we could not hear it inside with the sliders closed. Loved that it has a stacked washer and dryer. Great getaway for couples.

Our stay was fantastic!
We enjoy our 10 day stay. We hated to go home. We had coffee on the balcony and watched the boats and Dolphin’s in morning. The pool is amazing and hot tub. We definitely will be back.😄

Nice place to stay
This property was in a great location. As for the condo itself, it could use a few upgrades, like getting rid of the carpet in the bedroom. If you looked closely you could see the dog hair inbedded in it, Also a a little more detail to the Cleaning. Fans had a lot of dust on them. Overall this would not deter me from staying there again, I also would have preferred a small table to sit at to eat, but I knew ahead of time that the only table was outside on deck. The pool was great, people very friendly. We definitely enjoyed ourselves there.

Great Place to Stay!
What a great stay! The condo was great and the view was wonderful. We sat on the balcony and watched the boats and dolphins. Great location. Close to everything we wanted. We will be going back for another month next spring!

Fantastic
We loved this spot and will be back! Loved that we could bring our dog. The only bummer was the pool was closing part of the week for maintenance. That would have been nice to know before, but it all worked out.

NEVER AGAIN,,,
The absolute worst place I have ever checked into! Filthy from the front door, throughout! Dirty bed linens left on beds, damp towels mildewy in dryer,,,, I did 5 loads of laundry on check in day which was Saturday, owner came Tuesday with some new towels, sheets, ect. Top of stove burnt to a crisp! PICTURES, I got 'em! I scrubbed it clean! Would have been less work for me to stay home! I paid as much here as what I normally pay @ beachfront locations, so am not real happy about that. This is the first time my family was glad to get home! It is not a really friendly place either! No one speaks to you,,, Horrible!

Cute and cozy
We had an amazing time here. It was close to everything we wanted to do. Very quiet and cozy. My only complaint is that there weren’t extra blankets. We flew so skipped packing them so we all went and bought a new one. No big deal for us. Would definitely stay again!

Great location and people
The unit supplied everything that was needed. The location is great a close to everything. The pull out mattress is a terrible excuse for a mattress. My 7 year old could sleep in it because of the poor quality of mattress and the springs. I can imagine an adult being comfortable on it. The carpet in the bedroom is disgusting. You can see the black areas and siled markes all over it. That was gross. The balcony seemed like no one has swept or cleaned the edges or corners as there was a bunch of crud there. Plus there was a nasty piece of carpet that must have been a left over that was cut and place on the balcony. It was gross. The rest of the tiles floors were clean and nice.

Beautiful view of the bay. Pool was warm and tenants were very friendly.

Nice but noisy
The condo offers a lovely view of Boca Ciega Bay, and VA Memorial Park across from it -- but it's best enjoyed from inside the sliding glass doors, especially during rush hour on Bay Pines Boulevard. In the bedroom road noise was muted enough to watch TV and fall asleep. I walked to and along the Pinellas Trail easily by first crossing under the Boulevard bridge (I stooped due to the ~5' clearance; not an approved walking path) -- so walking to the nearby Target and adjacent shopping appears straight-forward if you don't care to drive much. If you do drive, it's an easy hop to Tyrone Square Mall and 66th street shopping and restaurants. Everything was clean, the instruction sheet comprehensive. We purchased a bathtub mat to avoid slipping, and the sliding glass door was not easily latched, so I usually rigged a "security bar" in the tracks at night to be sure.

Perfect family trip
Condo looks exactly like listing. Stayed with my hubsand and 2 small kids. Perfect for a small family, condo has everything you need. The complex is immaculate and quite beautiful. Quiet and perfect for families. Pool is heated and nice hot tub as well Close to many restaurants, as well as the beach. Perfect getaway. We enjoyed being on the outskirts of the touristy strip! definitely plan to rent again.

Our Home Away From Home!
Beautiful place . I will say the road traffic was a bit annoying at first but we got used to it overtime. Me and the wife stayed there while she recovered from TMJ surgery from the local Specialist there in St. Petersburg. It really worked well for us. Thanks to Kelly our contact from the rental. She was there for all our questions and was very helpful. Thank you very much Kelly. All in all I gave it a 5 stars but all places we have stayed at always has room for a little improvemnent.

Fabulous, fresh and fun!
My small family had a fabulous time spending 2 weeks at the Boca Ciega Resort! Hubby and son caught mullet, trout and mackerel off the dock. Lots of fun wildlife to watch - dolphins jumping, sting rays swimming and ospreys with fresh catch. The pool and hot tub were perfect to relax and wind up the day.
The interior of the condo is comfy and all your amenities are there - kitchen, washer/dryer, TV - we were well taken care of and did not want for anything.
We will definitely be returning annually.

Excellent
My stay was business related, and my stay here made my time away from home much more enjoyable. The deck overlooking the water was just what I needed at the end of the day!! Centrally located and very easy to get around to anywhere in the area, just minutes from the beach. The owners and their team were there to answer questions in a very timely manner. They supply a comprehensive list of local restaurants, shops and attractions. I will be back! Next time for a pleasurable visit, rather than work.

Mint condition and great location
The property is in an excellent location and in mint condition. Excellent eating and easy shopping nearby my car. 8 to 10 minutes to the beach is no problem. Owners goes overboard trying to make you stay as comfortable as possible. For my birthday a bottle of wine and flowers was left the condo. The only slight downside is the nearby rush-hour traffic. Put in some your ear buds or go to the pool or go fishing or go shopping or go to the beach or do I walk on the Pinnalas trail. Excellent place. Will return

Very nice, great view
I think the condo really needs some updating on kitchen items. There was only two fry pans that were usable, no glasses to drink out of and 1 small bowl. Only one dish towel and no dish cloths. The bathroom towels and shower curtain were in need of replacement. We had a great view. Updating these items would be a good addition.

Great Trip
I just returned from a week at Boca Ciega Resort. The condo was perfect and just as described. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. When we arrived there was even a bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers, which was a wonderful surprise after a day of traveling. The location was nice as it was a short 5 minute drive to Madeira Beach, Walmart and Target.The pool area was great and the grounds were extremely well kept. We will definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend this condo!
