Paradise at Boca Ciega!

We had an absolutely amazing time at this condo. We needed a place in St. Pete to stay and work while our son attended a summer camp at USF. I could not have asked for more. Mary is an amazing host. She would respond immediately to emails or texts. The condo is very clean and a fantastic location. On the bay, incredible views and sunsets, short drive to the beach, close to several great places to eat (Doc Fords, Wicked Cantina, Slyce), and has the perfect pool and hot tub to relax at the end of the day. It had everything we needed for the week.

Oustanding View

Stayed 4 nights, enjoyed the condo greatly and the view from the large balcony was outstanding. The condo was decorated nicely and had everything that we needed. The traffic trying to get out of the condo was very busy just as everywhere else in the area. Restaurant was next door and several others very close by. Also a Walmart was right over the bridge for convience. Our host was easy to reach and reponded quickly to any questions we had. The favorite part was the balcony and view!

Spring fun!

What a fantastic condo! I loved the location, view, decor and the price. I had coffee on the balcony each morning and had pelicans and dolphins waiting to great me! The owner was a great communicator and made everything so simple. Doc Ford’s was right across the parking lot with great outdoor seating and live music! We’d definitely book again!

One is never sure what the place they pick will really look like. Well this one more then past the test. Very well appointed. Clean & perfect location within the complex. Enjoyed my stay very much, even looked into buying a unit myself. Mary has one of the nicest if not the nicest unit in the building. I’d come back again, thank you so much for sharing 👍

A true gem

The unit was exactly as pictured and described only better. The host has done an amazing job of providing just about everything you could want or need for a "home away from home". The bed and furniture were comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped and the deck furniture was perfect. We loved the high top table for meals and watching the sunset and the comfortable chaise chairs for reading and relaxing. We normally stay on the beach but we found the view over the bay to be every bit as enjoyable watching the boats pass by. This was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in - spotless. Kudos to Mary for providing everything we needed and to her cleaning crew for their great work. We loved our week there and will definitely return

Dolphin Lovers Dream

This is the second time I have stayed at the complex. A different unit/owner. This unit was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. Nice bedding and towels. Bed was comfortable. The view was great. We saw dolphins everyday and a few times pretty close to the shore. It’s a short 8 minute drive to the beach and Madeira Beach is so much nicer than Clearwater. Definitely will stay again.
