Saint Petersburg, Florida
Welcome to our peaceful oasis in Saint Petersburg!
Start the day with a cup of coffee on our palm-shaded terrace, then take a relaxing swim at the quiet pool or enjoy a game of tennis on one of the free courts in the park across the street!
Our family has owned this unit for more than 20 years, and we have spent the past few years refurbishing it and bringing it fully up-to-date.
Why do we feel so much at home here Because it's a place people live year round – not just somewhere people spend their vacations! And that offers you some great benefits:
– A good night's sleep: our neighbors are more likely to be going to work in the morning than partying at night
– Plenty of space in the pool: few people in the complex have the time to take a swim during the day
– Safety and security: you don't have empty condos around you because there are people living in the complex whatever month you visit
Just round the corner there's a small park, which is perfect for running, as well as free tennis courts and a halfpipe for skateboarders. And if you want to see some baseball or American football, you can check out the games hosted by the neighborhood high school some evenings. So you get to feel even more like a local!
The listing description was accurate. The property was very clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend the property to anyone. We enjoyed the pool and the park which were conveniently located. The owners very nice, very responsive and extremely accommodating. We really enjoyed our months stay and hope to be able to rent this property again next year.
This is a lovely townhouse, quiet, clean and much larger than it appears in the photos. It has a well-equipped kitchen and everything you need for a comfortable vacation, including a very pretty patio. The location is perfect - only a ten minute drive to downtown, the beach, or to Gulfport, with a Publix grocery store nearby and a park with a one-mile walking path just across the street. The owner is incredibly nice and responded quickly to any questions I had. There are also two bicycles that renters can use. I would definitely recommend this rental.
Don't be fooled by the term cozy, it may be a townhouse, but it is quite spacious! The complex is very well kept, and it is very quiet. We walked passed a few residents on our way to the pool, and they were all very amicable. We rented Whisperwood for two weeks in order to relocate to Tampa. It was very easy and pleasant to correspond with the owner, even though she was responding from Europe! She was timely, and very nice! At the location, she has a couple of people in charge of maintaining the property. The pool is a bit of a walk, but it is in the same complex (maybe about one block away?). We had our little daughter with us, so the pool was an excellent plus! Very secure, you need a key card to access the complex, and the unit has outer doors/gate (back and front) with locks, as well as the regular doors. We always felt very secure when walking to the pool or around the complex. Dumpsters are also very conveniently located nearby. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs connected by a full bathroom. Two double beds (two adults could sleep on these beds) in one room, and a very comfy king sized bed in the master bedroom. Each room has a sink in it, which was convenient. The wooden floors are impecable and the stairs are relatively quiet. Lots of storage space and tasteful furniture. There are also plenty of linen ready for use. The owners have two Huffy bikes parked under the stairs - we didn't use them but they looked pretty much brand new and would make a ride to the beach quite a wonderful memory! Downstairs, very comfy couches, flat screen tv, coffee table, a bar with plenty of bar stools, washer and dryer in a utility room, a half bathroom and closet. The kitchen is very functional with all the necessary amenities, including a dishwasher, fridge, microwave, electric stove/oven, disposal in a single sink, and stocked with plenty of dishes and other small appliances. Plenty of parking for guests, and your parking spot is right in front of the unit. Air conditioning and fans kept the place at a perfect temperature for us. Internet was a hotspot providing us with 5Gb (not enough for streaming videos, but enough for brief daily browsing/email). The dining area has a table that can sit 4 comfortably, but if you don't mind squeezing in a bit, you can pull the table from the wall and fit 6. Publix is around the corner, and driving to Fort Desoto was a quick 15 min drive. 30-40min from airport.
