Gulf Front Condo — Gulf Strand Resort, St. Pete Beach

Always excellent and clean, Betty and Cindy were great. We have already booked next year.

Great property and location. Perfect view. Loved the unit but bring or plan to go to store to get shampoo, body wash, and laundry detergent. Beach towels would have been a nice touch too. It did have two chairs and a cooler to use.

We had a wonderful stay. It was our first time staying in this unit, and we loved it. It has an amazing view from every room! Betty in the office is always very friendly and helpful!

We had a decent time overall but were a bit disappointed with this unit given the rate. Just little things like, no oven mitt, only one spare pillow case, no beach towels, one kitchen towel, etc. The WiFi/on demand was out most of our stay, it was supposedly due to the weather which is understandable but it did detract from our satisfaction. The washing machine was horribly moldy and the only setting I could get the drier to work on was the highest heat setting so that was a pain. It was obvious these appliances have been in disrepair for a long time but the owner just hasn’t addressed it. The kitchen was pretty dirty with obvious food smudges on counters and cabinets and well as something sticky on the nightstand (I didn’t call to complain, I just bought some Clorox wipes and cleaned as I found things.) The bed was fine, bathrooms were fine, but for this rate, I expected a better appointed condo. The size felt misleading as well - not sure how they get the pictures on VRBO to seem so huge when the space is so much smaller. All in all, very disappointed for the money spent. Its proximity to the beach was awesome tho, as well as parking so if you don’t really care so much about the things I’ve mentioned, you’ll have a great time here as the location can’t be beat.

The view from this top floor condo is spectacular. We loved the balcony to sit and watch the sunset when we chose not to walk the beach. We would have used it even more except the heat and humidity were super high so we spent most of our time in the ocean although it was in the shade most of the day so that was nice too. The condo was stocked with the essentials we needed and the rental office staff were friendly and helpful. Our only recommendations are to replace the bed mattress and the outdated TVs with smart TVs.

Wonderful

We have stayed at Gulf Strand twice. First time in this unit. It was perfect! Will be staying here again!!

Our stays at Gulfstrand are ALWAYS exceptional. Office staff are amazingly friendly and helpful (hi Betty!) cannot wait to return.

Considering the overwhelming effect from the storms, excellent.

Really enjoyed how well maintained the property remains and the effectiveness and warmth of the staff.

The views from the balcony were stunning and the condo was very nice too. It was perfect for my family and close to a ton of things to do.
