It is ideally situated for the beach, golf course and shops etc. The apartment has obviously been recently upgraded and everything appeared new and very clean. The huge bed was very comfortable and provided restful sleep. We had to cut our stay short by 2 days due to Hurricane Ian approaching and the State's Mandatory Evacuation from the area. Apart from that, we would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone. You won't be disappointed. Five Star Plus !! Dave and Lorna from Scotland. ##### DAVID C.

You can pack your clothes, and just show up! They have taken care of the rest!! The hosts are fantastic to work with and are very communicative. Getting the digital copy of the information book prior to leaving was so helpful, as I was actually able to remove some things I was going to pack when I read that! The location of this unit is great. Quiet, but still family friendly. Short walk to the pool. There is a lot to do in the area for whatever it is you may be looking for.

Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### GULFERS PARADISE This clearly is an investment property for vacation rentals and it shows. It is a vacationers dream. It is both well appointed and comfortable. Great location, close to the pool, view from patio is pleasant--water and spout--parking spot directly in front of unit. Owners available 24/7, BUT you will never have to contact owner; nothing has been left to chance. Every drawer, cabinet, switch plate, appliance is \[tastefully\] labeled. Electronic info as well. Even a starter kit of basic needs is provided. We've been renting in St. Pete for several years and in Bahia; can't do better. If you wish to cook on vacation, the kitchen is well equipped; if you don't there is close by an endless supply of restaurants on and off the water. Very fine property. ##### arlene d.

Very clean and has everything you need while away from home. We visited St. Pete for our 25th anniversary along with our kids and chose this because of the location . It is close to the beaches and not far from many restaurants , stores and entertainment …within minutes . The pool is just a short walk from the condo . Marty and Jen were great to work with .They communicated promptly with us . Would definitely stay here again if we visit the area. ##### Kristin S.

Kitchen was one of the best stocked we’ve visited! Comfortable beds, plush bath towels and the condo facility was clean, nicely decorated and quiet! We enjoyed golf, pickleball and biking. The beaches were pristine and the ocean water was tourquuoise blue! And did I mention the unbelievable sunsets?!! Hosts were so quick to respond and were helpful and attentive! Would definitely recommend this unit! ##### Missy D. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob W.

The place was super clean and every thing has been updated. The beds are very comfortable and the sheets are such good quality! The morning sunrise from the living over the pond is beautiful. One of the best places we have even stayed in. Thank you Jennifer and Marty ##### Rob W. Stayed 15 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline P. Mar 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Visit to St. Pete My visit to Gulfer’s Paradise was such a pleasure! The condo was immaculate, tastefully decorated, had a beautiful view, and conveniently located. It was a short trip from the condo to visit family in south St. Pete and to the beach at Pass-A-Grille. The condo’s kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and noodles were available for our use. Jen and Marty were wonderful hosts. Caroline ##### Caroline P.
