Nice place for a quick visit

I was visiting family in the St. Petersburg area. The location of this VBRO was perfect for my needs. The place was small, but just what we needed. The neighborhood was quiet, and my husband was able to walk to a local restaurant to watch sports. I like the tv options, and watched a few shows on Netflix. They could use a new remote control, because some things had to be handled directly on the TV. Everything else was fine.

Best Host

Ms. Sue was the best host ever. She took care of any and everything I needed and made sure I knew where I was going, what restaurants to check out, made sure I had aloe for the inevitable sunburn, and consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and happy without being overbearing. She is a gem of a host and I am already planning on booking her location for another stay next year. She even kept an eye out for my Amazon package that I had to have sent!

Cute Little Studio

I enjoyed my stay there and Susan was very easy to communicate with. It's a cute little Studio that has everything you need. The only drawback for me was a small shower but other than that it was a great place to stay.

Nice stay

It was a nice location. The property was clean. Shower head sprayed to wall and not your body so that was frustrating. Bed not comfy and pillows are very flat and need to be replaced. Dog on property was a nice greeter each morning. Be careful backing out of driveway as there is an huge bump where your car bottoms out. We angled and used the right side of driveway. Overall a good stay.
