Your own private Beachfront Home On the Sands of the Gulf. Can't get any closer

Beachfront Home 3 bedroom 2 bath Views overlooking the beach ! Some recent renovations completed. Nothing fancy about this beachfront home......BUT it is located on the most beautiful spot of the tropical barrier islands between Clearwater beach and St Pete Beach. Amazing beach views! Old Timers call this part of the island "The Narrows" where the sand is just wide enough for a single row of homes.

Ideal for a family vacation or for a Romantic getaway for 2. Step down from the back deck and stroll the sugar white sand beach. Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms 2 full baths, large living area and 2 decks overlooking the beach. Watch the sun melt into the Gulf of Mexico as the day ends. Relax and Enjoy our little slice of beach paradise.

Good house
Stayed for 3 nights. Its a good house in a great location. Location is very peaceful. Having you own private beach is amazing. Dont have to worry about a crowd. Chairs for the beach are provided, along with some odds and ends. The house had everything needed, however the house did feel outdated and needs some TLC and some parts of the house need more elbow grease when it comes to cleaning, especially the inside of the cabinets. The drveway is slightly tight and really have to watch the wall in the driveway at the neighboring house. It is not straight so it gets tighter as you are getting closer to the road. Overall a good house.

Gorgeous property!!!
Everything was amazing! All the amenities included, pots and pans coffee maker etc. perfect location! The beach is right there and it’s a quiet part too! It’s close to everything. The beds were super comfortable! The check in process was so easy and the owners were great with communicating with us! The only negative thing was that we couldn’t get the cable to work but we also suck with technology. You’ve got the beach so why do you even need tv? We will be back!

Great location!
It's close to many great restaurants and you have a dedicated spot on the beach that is nearly all to yourself. We saw dolphins and lots of other wildlife from the deck. The house was about what we expected based on other reviews, it does need some updating but it sounds like that will happen soon. It was clean and the appliances were relatively new. Overall it was a great beach getaway!

A bit disappointing
Location was great. Pictures on website are very old. Wood flooring in dining room had holes in it. Holes in walls,filthy dining room chairs, toilet was broke,cockcroch found. It could be a wonderful place. Needs ALOT of TLC. I paid too much for what all was wrong. Beautiful view and sunsets.

Great location , need some keep up.
The location is beautiful. It is a older house that needs some updates. The main dissatisfaction was missing any light outside, not safe to take stairs case at night. The cable is just hanging there. The toilet in the Master bathroom doesn't refill on his own. The towels are old and stained . We could not find a garbage so we had to collect the bags in the house for our stay. Few of the chairs are brocken inside at the dinner table as well as outside. I wish just some safety issues could be addressed.

Bait and switch
I need to write a letter about this property as I have never been so disappointed in my accommodations. The entire house is totally run down and dilapidated. From the outside "railing" that is held together with a bungee cord to the kitchen counter that has a hole covered with duct tape, and the furniture that is so worn that the fabric is gone. The entire house is held together with spit and tape. The way I describe the house is a tear down with a view. You should be ashamed to charge the amount of money that you charge for this piece of crap. I have taken pictures of the house that I will be sharing on my social media so that none of my circle ever thinks of renting this house or any other property owned by this group.

We had a blast staying in this little slice of paradise for a week! From booking, to check in and check out process it was all painless. The property manager was wonderful and answered all questions in a timely manner and was friendly. Our only complaint was that we had to go buy paper towel and toilet paper while we were there. There are a few small cosmetic issues with the house that you can see in other comments, but that did not bother us one bit. We were there for the sand and sun. Not for a flawless house. The location can’t be beat. The sand is the softest powder. We loved being just steps to the water. Would 100% stay here again and recommend this property.

Beautiful spot
The location of the house is superb! The sunsets are absolutely amazing and having the Gulf as the backyard can't be beat. When there was a problem with the washer, the repair was done quickly. Many essential household goods were provided: sheets, towels, soaps, coffee, etc. The house however lacks some attention: - Not until the last day was there an outdoor table large enough for more than 2 people. -The ceiling fan in the living room wasn't functional. -The couch was worn and uncomfortable. -Several light switches didn't work and fixtures didn't have working light bulbs, including at the front door, the kitchen, in the shower, and living room. -The outdoor shower wasn't working. -Windows lacked screens or had torn screens. -Some essential kitchen utensils were absent (strainer, working peeler, scissors). I would stay here again and wish the owners would show more love for this house.

Location is what it’s all about. The worn interior of the house is not good. Needs updating badly. We loved our time there once we accepted that the condition of the house is what it is. With the worn out sofa plus plus being replaced, the house would be fabulous. Here’s hoping that happens

We had a great stay down in Indian shores. wife and kids had a few things to say about the house being dated, and some little things that need attention but it’s on the beach, and plenty of room for us. Simple check in. Location is what we went for and it’s in a great spot!

Our stay
View and distance to the beach was Awesome. The listing stated the property was a little outdated which was fine and I expected. But the mold and mildew hit us as soon as we opened the door, we immediately went to the store for plug-ins and air freshener. I had to use my inhaler throughout my stay which I rarely use. The ceiling leaked and water came in under the doors during the storm. I believe those things are at least part of the mold and mildew as you can see mold on the trim around doors. Also 2 of the doors had broken locks so doors could not be locked. But again you couldn’t beat the location but maybe add an asthma warning to the listing until those issues are fixed. I did notify the property management company about the leaks and they were aware of them.

Location overcomes little things.
Great location. can't beat that. Several little things: 1) some beach equipment broken (some umbrellas and chairs) 2) empty propane tanks (had to call to refill) 3) no dishwasher soap 4) ripped screen to upper deck 5) 3rd bedroom, no closet, no drawers 6) limited seating in living room 7) no instructions on how to work tv 8) parking tight for a minivan 9) photo very dated. House now has buildings close on both sides. Worst of all !!! No corkscrew!! What were they thinking??? We donated the one we had to purchase. All in all a good spot. Check in and out very easy. House needs some work but still a good value. The shortcomings were annoying but not enough to overcome the spectacular location. Magnificent beach, sunsets and close to bars restaurants etc.

Great location
We were looking for "right on the beach" and this was definitely the right place. The beach is quiet and mostly residential. Back deck is perfect for watching sunset. The house is very roomy and has lots of space. The reason we didnt give it a five is that while everything in the house is functional, it is pretty worn out. It has had a lot of miles. It's mostly cosmetic and everything worked so it wasnt a deal breaker.
