Fantastic Property - Great Rental Experience
Review Submitted: July 1, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
Nadia and Florin have an amazing place here and we can't wait to book a return visit. The views are every bit as spectacular as the pictures imply and it's location is perfect. From the apartment you're on the beach in under 2 minutes and Johns Pass is only a 10 minute walk.
The apartment is very comfortable and was spotless when we arrived. There is a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys etc.. which is a big plus with the cost of bags on the airlines these days. There was plenty of room for the two of us and the fully equipped kitchen meant we could easily buy groceries and eat in to save some extra $$. We tended to east breakfast and lunch at the apartment and then dinner out somewhere. We'd highly recommend De Losa's Pizza in johns pass and Sloppy Joes in Treasure Island.
We stayed in June and were amazed how quiet the beach was during the day. It was great not to be crammed together on the beach and meant that you could relax, even with kids playing nearby. The beach is very clean with lots of wildlife including pelicans and even some dolphins. The ocean is warm and was calm for most of our stay.
Must see attractions have to include the sunsets on the beach which were amazing. Also worth a trip is Caladesi Island State park. If you like shells this place is awesome and the beach chairs and umbrella for $20 is a bargain !! The Prime Outlet mall in Ellenton was a good bet for a slightly rainy afternoon !!
Overall the apartment delivered everything it said it would and provided the perfect location for a totally relaxing getaway from it all. The ocean view on its own would be worth the money but the apartment and surrounding attractions made this place even better. We rented a car which we used for excursions and groceries but we spent a total of $45 on gas during our whole stay (including driving from and to tampa airport, the outlet mall, caldaesi island and out for groceries).
Don't hesitate... book this apartment.
