Notes: This condo is a ground floor, corner unit, and is the closest to parking, pool, laundry and to the beach! It is perfect for a variety of visitors....couples or small families, the elderly, as there are no stairs to climb and it is right by the entrance, and great for small families with one or two children (you can see them at the pool from your kitchen window or the living room door and window) We even have a beach wagon to transport your supplies or your kids on the short walk to the beach! Like sports....less than 30 minutes to a Tampa Bay Bucs game, NY Yankees training, Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey, and the St. Pete Devil Rays!

We loved the location.Just a few minutes walk to the beach! The pool area was right outside our door.It was a great place to relax,swim,socialize and barbeque.The condo itself was equipped with anything you could ever need.There were stores,restaurants,bars,groceries a library,etc.within walking distance.You really didn't need a car.If you couldn't walk the beach taxi would come pick you up.It operated for only tips.The bus system was also excellent.All the people we met were very friendly.Many of them have stayed at The Waves before,as will we.We had a great holiday!!

The 5th Wave Review

Subject: Re: THE 5TH WAVE CONDO @ THE WAVES IN ST PETE BEACH

Hi Jenee,
We really had a wonderful time!!! We've been coming down to St. Pete for the last 7 years and this was one of the best. The condo was great - clean, had everything we needed and being steps from the beach and Willy's makes it hard to beat. I can't even think of a suggestion to make the condo any better. If our numbers don't increase we will be sure to rent your condo next year.
Thanks for helping to make this year's vacation really exceptional :)

Wonderful stay

I'm so glad we chose to stay at the 5th Wave for our Florida vacation! It was convenient to stores, restaurants and the beach, and so comfortable! The pictures are very accurate - cute, cozy and clean! The bed was great, the shower was wonderful, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The owners were excellent to deal with. It was completely quiet at night. I highly recommend this property!
Owner's Response: We really appreciate our guests and are so happy when we get to hear back from them after their vacation at The 5th Wave @ The Waves. As a family owned condo, our goal is to keep our guests happy so we can get them or their friends and family back every year!
Thank you so much for the nice comments!

The condo was very nice. Had everything we needed. We love the location. The pool is right out the front door. Just a block from the beach. Walking distance to some of our favorite haunts and shopping locations. The transaction went very smoothly. Appreciate all that Jenee and Victor had to offer. Special thanks to Jenee. We will definitely be considering the 5th Wave again. Thanks for everything.

Great and cute location

We are from a little country in Eastern Europe and have spent two weeks in this condo with my spouse and two kids. The owner was very kind to offer us a little discount and we chose this location with a great pleasure. Despite some trouble with our flights schedule which has nothing to do with this rental, we spent great time in this apartment.

It is indeed very central and nearby to major touristic attractions, restaurants, grocery stores and of course the beach, which is only 5 minutes walk. We only rented a car to go to the Disneyland, but for everything else, there is your feet, bus service and trolleys. The condo is also safe and has nice outdoor swimming pool. We strongly recommend this condo for small families and couples. Would choose to re-rent and stay there again.

Thank you Jenee in addition, for all your help and advice for us, strangers to the town.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your nice review! We love to get approval from our guests as this is our ultimate goal. Please come again!
