About this property

TRUE GULF FRONT CONDO 100% DIRECT BEACH & GULF VIEWS NEW EVERYTHING Very Clean

Storms are behind us and we're back to same as before.
Our condo is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! New a/c Aug 2023 BLOWING COLD . Our condo is the one with the American flag flying on the balcony out lined in yellow in our opening picture. Don't be fooled by other listings showing Vistas building and not outlining their condo which may not be a direct gulf front condo. No fooling around here, it's a TRUE GULF FRONT CONDO (not a side unit) with two balconies many recent upgrades and is the nicest and cleanest unit in the building. If you desire a direct gulf front unit this is what you want. Vistas on the Gulf is a 38 unit condo on St. Pete Beach. If you've never been here, the beach is a great place for families and couples quiet and relaxing. We are the original owners of unit 301 and spend 15- 18 weeks / year there, it has become our oasis and happy place! If you want clean, rent our unit. Our part of the beach is very quiet and not busy at all. You'll have plenty of area to distance from others at the beach as you can see from our pictures. Our gulf front view is just incredible, not only during the day, but look at our pictures to see some of the spectacular sunsets and rainbows we've seen! Evenings on the front balcony are special. Relax listening to the gentle sounds of waves rolling in.

The unique thing about our unit is that we have two balconies--a large balcony directly facing west to the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Another balcony is off the second bedroom and faces south. This view gives you a great pool view and a beautiful gulf view. One of the nice features of our condo, is that you can walk right out to the beach and can enjoy several beach restaurants/bars and never even have to put on your shoes! Getting around is easy without the expense of a rental car. Check out St Pete Beach FREE on-demand shuttle service. https://www.stpetebeach.org/273/Freebee-Shuttle-Service

Each unit is individually owned and we have added many personal touches. Master bedroom has a queen bed with a new (8/23) firm premium mattress and other bedroom has a bunk bed with stairs, twin mattress top / new (1/24) full size firm mattress bottom. The living room also has a new (8/23) queen sized sofa-sleeper and TCL brand smart TV, power leather recliner . As nice as the unit is, you'll most likely be enjoying the beautiful beach and weather outside! Air conditioning system recently installed (8/23). Everything in our unit operates as it should.
We deep clean, upgrade and replace items regularly during each of our 15 - 18 weeks we visit each year. We take great pride in our condo and believe in putting money back into it to keep it fresh, clean, updated and desirable. Just like you, we like staying in a clean updated well maintained condo when we vacation. We re invest in our condo continuously hoping that our guests have a wonderful experience. We love repeat guests. This is our happy place, let it be yours as well.

Perfect getaway

This condo couldn't have been more perfect for my family. Especially the ocean view, beach access, and the pool. There was ample room for my family of 5. It was so nice to have more space than a typical hotel room. We enjoyed our stay and the amenities very much!The host was great to work with and even checked in with me during our stay to see that everything met my expectations. Highly recommend!

No complaints!!

My family and I were very impressed by the cleanliness of the unit! I have no complaints! Just like home except WOW! I don’t get to open my front curtain and have a spectacular view! Plenty of furniture on the balcony, only wish it was high top and could enjoy the view even more. That would be my only suggestion. (Perhaps not permitted for safety reasons) We had a great time and the owner and property assistants were wonderful!!

Best location and great lodging

Condo was really clean and the owner's were responsive to any questions we had. We also had the office located on the second floor if there were any concerns. Location is great, plenty of fun areas within walking distance along the beach to grab a drink or a quick bit. We even got to see dolphins along the beach from our window on our last day.

Beautiful beachfront condo

We brought the kids to St Pete for the first time to celebrate our Anniversary! The Condo had everything we needed for indoor and outdoor living. It was nice to have beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler, that we didn’t have to purchase. We even added a boogie board to the collection. The balcony was our favorite with its stunning views of the beach and ocean. The kids loved having their own balcony too off their room. We can’t wait to visit again! One small request would to provide acrylic glassware and dinnerware for the kids and for use on the balconies.

Best trip ever

The condo is beautiful and the views of the beach are incredible! ❤️ It was the 4th of July and We watched fireworks happening on both ends of the beach while on the balcony. Spent evenings on the balcony with a Full moon over the ocean and it was fantastic. I actually slept for 8 hours straight- never done that at a beach condo and definitely not at home. I'm an incurable insomniac and tried many meds and natural supplements. Bottom line- I was relaxed, the stay was hassle free, it was gorgeous and perfect weather. The water was just as beautiful as we've in Hawaii, Caribbean or Mexico. I'm 48 and spent every summer of my life for 1-2 weeks at the gulf for vacay. Very few times have I seen the water as perfect as it was this time. No seaweed, crystal clear, and warm. Only thing I can think of that wasn't "perfection" is the condo is hard to keep cool as the sun hits about 4-5 pm. But there are fans. And we were fine. But things couldn't have been better. My 17 y/o daughter even said it the best vacay she has ever had. She has traveled as we have and the location, the condo and on the beach were all wonderful. xoxo Thank you❣️

Awesome family vacation

Just arrived home and already miss sitting on the gulf front balcony watching the sunset. The property was perfect for our family of four. The owner provided some restaurant options, and although we have been to St. Petes many times, we now have some new favorites based on his suggestions. We will definitely be back for our next St. Petes vacation!!

Great location, great views

We had a great stay and holiday at the apartment. The location and the views from the terrace are fabulous and make booking this unit worthwhile if this is your priority. However, for the price charged we would have expected a better appointed apartment - the bedroom carpet was extremely worn to the point that the pattern had disappeared, items that add to the stay experience were poor or clearly very cheap (kettle, toaster, iron and board etc), the beach umbrella available was no bigger than an umbrella you would use personally on a rainy day, there were no towel or bedding changes undertaken despite being there for nearly three weeks (though there is a washing machine if needed), taps were stiff to use and didn't always shut down fully (in particular the kitchen area sink) and so on. In addition, the second bedroom is not designed for adults, it is a children's room with a bunk bed arrangement with no adult hanging space available. The person using this second bedroom in our party was an average heigh adult and she couldn't sleep in the lower bed (which is wider than the top bunk) as it wasn't long enough for her to stretch out, she had to sleep diagonally therefore. Equally, if the sofa bed is used, it takes up almost all of the available space in the living room area (as that area is not very large) which means everyone must go to bed when that is set up. Overall these issues didn't particularly detract from the enjoyment of our stay but we felt that we paid a huge premium for the terrace and views - overall it felt a little that for the sake of a relatively small level of investment, it is, in part, set up as cheap as possible to maximise income. We did look at two other apartments within the block whilst staying and each were so much better appointed and modern.

Great location and amenities!

The location in right on St. Pete Beach and our unit (301) had a balcony directly facing the beach and Gulf. It made for wonderful place to drink coffee watch the sunrise and set. Jim, our host, was easy to communicate and provided so much helpful information that made our stay easy and that was complimented by the property management (the lady in the front office). I highly recommend staying in unit 301 at this location. With 2 baths and 2 bedrooms, washer, dryer, full kitchen and living room - it was plenty of room for my family of 4 with easy access to ravel up and down the coast or go inland. Thank you!

Great location! Just steps to the gulf with beautiful views from 2 balconies.

Our first trip to St. Pete Beach was made even better by finding this condo. Jim, the owner, regularly communicated and was extremely helpful. The condo was clean and well-maintained. We appreciated the host graciously sharing an umbrella and beach chairs as we flew to the location. Provisions such as a coffee maker, dishwasher, and washer/dryer provide the comforts of home. The views from both balconies made for relaxing mornings and perfect sunset views. I highly recommend this condo!

Perfect size condo for our family of four with a perfect view!

This was our first visit to St Pete’s Beach and we couldn’t be happier. My wife, daughters (ages 8 and 11), and I had plenty of space. It had perfect views of both the beach and the pool. Jim was great to work with! He provided several meal suggestions during our stay which we loved. The condo was all ready for us when we arrived at the very beginning of the check-in time. It was also very clean which is of course huge for us right now. We enjoyed lunches on the larger balcony off of the living room. We went to the beach every day multiple times. It was great having beach chairs in the condo that we could use. Plus our girls loved the pool when they needed a break from the beach. The pool was the perfect temp and there were several pool noodles and pool rings that they loved playing with. This beach had the best sand and wasn’t crowded at all. The girls keep asking when we will be back. We hope soon!!

It's Jan 15, 2025, my wife and I are staying in our condo til mid Feb. If you're concerned about the condition of St Pete Beach and our building after the Fall storms, don't be. Our building is just as it has been prior to Oct storms. SPB is cleaned up, restaurants are open and looking just had. Oh yes the beach is unchanged and beautiful. My wife and I have owned our beach condo since construction was completed and take great pride in our unit. It's the cleanest unit in the building. If you want clean rent our unit. We visit often from Chicago and are on top of any little repairs or missing household items. It's more than an investment property and your enjoyment during your vacation is important to us! We 're always cleaning, replacing or upgrading something during our 15 weeks we visit each year. We believe in putting money back into our condo to keep it clean, fresh and desirable. We want you to have a wonderful experience and contact us directly for your next visit to St Pete Beach. We love having repeat guests.

Why they chose this property

We love St. Pete Beach! My wife's grandparents and parents have been visiting since the 40's. SPB is totally laid back.
Tee shirts, shorts and flip flops is the dress code there. I always say SPB is more like Key West then Palm Beach. Relax and leave your formal wear at home. Our kids are always safe. We never have an issue with them walking on the beach day or night. Not to worry Mom and Dad, no college parties or crazyness here. This is a great family place, very peaceful and quiet for you snow birds escaping from the harsh northern winters.

What makes this property unique

St Pete Beach has beautiful white sand beaches. It has a relaxing laid back feeling to it. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the beach or pick up the pace and run while enjoying the surf, sun and relaxing atmosphere. Our beach area is very quiet and not busy at all. You'll have plenty of beach to choose a spot for yourself while easily distancing from others. Don't forget to smile and say hello to the other walkers and runners as they greet you.
Enjoy the many beach side and casual restaurants near my condo. Publix Super Market is 1/4 mile north of us on Gulf Blvd, easy to walk to. There is a trolley (bus) stop in front of our building for easy traveling up and down Gulf Blvd all the way to Clearwater. If you have a car during your stay you'll appreciate parking in my large covered reserved space #2 with plenty of space for a Chevy Suburban or Ford Expedition with room to spare.
You'll love our unit as everyone does as you'll see in our guest comment book.
