We are a fairly seasoned family of four travelers (mom/dad + two teens) and we rate this condo experience as one of our top. The floor plan layout allows for typical noisy fun in the kitchen and livingroom space with the bedrooms set back far enough to remain nice and quiet for early or late sleepers. Everything was clean and we were so happy to find small stock piles of various items for use such as soaps and coffee and spices and even peanut butter. A rare opportunity for this momma to wake up the first morning and take it easy instead of rushing to the store. Plenty of beach chairs and sand/swim toys on the deck. Beach towels in the closet. Our week was cold and windy, so the pool nestled behind the building was a wonderful warm sunny respite from the wind which made a teen girl very happy for sun tanning purposes. The mattresses were not the most comfortable but the owners seem to be doing consistent upgrades with lots of personal homey touches. There is a shower in the yard for cleaning off beach sand. The front deck to the beach is maybe 30 feet so beachfront really means beachfront. This is a second story which means a small flight of stairs on the side but the view from this raised position is perfect. The owners were just a text message away. Very responsive. Very nice. As far as location, it’s a quiet spot with nothing in walking distance. But a short 2-3 mile drive in one direction lands you on the main Clearwater Beach drag and 2 miles in the other direction and across the causeway is a strip full of restaurants and a grocery store. 12 miles (20minutes) to Johns Pass Boardwalk. One tip.....take lots of pocket money for parking and tolls if you plan to drive for sightseeing. Tolls everywhere! and parking is expensive. We drove 2 hours north to kayak with the Manatee at Three Sisters Spring on Crystal River. So awesome. We took the 1.5 hour jet ski adventure via the H2O Company in Clearwater across from Pier 60 ($130 per ski which holds two people). Again, awesome. We drove 1.5 hours to Siesta Key and Sarasota for a day to visit friends. Definitely recommend shopping at Ellenton Outlets (hour away between st. Pete’s and Sarasota). All in all, this was a great condo and location for our activities.
