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.

We enjoyed this cute condo with beautiful bay views. We did see dolphins when sitting out on the balcony! Condo was convenient to Treasure Island beach and we thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay. We hope to come back some day! Condo was clean, accurately pictured on this site, with full size washer and dryer.

Our stay at Boca Ciega
Beautiful view from our 2nd floor patio though we didn't see any dolphins. Very quiet even though next to a highway. Nice not having other condo buildings right next to us. Our unit was beautifully decorated and appropriately stocked with necessary supplies. The units are on the small side with very little room to park suitcases out of the way,but adequate for a short stay.

Best place yet!
We were lucky enough to snag this beautiful condo and so glad we did. This place was beautifully decorated and cozy. Our host Mary was one of the best things about our stay. The previous occupants had broken a sliding door. It was scheduled to be repaired during our stay. Mary bought us dinner just for any inconvenience. She even stopped by to make sure everything was going smoothly. She's a very sweet lady that takes pride in her condo. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and has a very comfy bed. The view was great. Will definitely stay here again.
