St Pete Isla Vista Verde North Mirada Townhome 3/2 TH-21

We had such a wonderful vacation. This home is located in a quiet community and is close to all of our favorite beaches: Fort DeSoto, St. Pete Beach, Passé-a-grille; and just a short drive to Anna Maria Island. Publix is convenient and has everything you may need. The home itself has a well appointed kitchen if you don’t mind cooking while on vacation. The beds in each room are comfortable. A plus it that is does have a washer and dryer. We loved our stay.

Wonderful place, excellent service. We had a great time... The house is absolutely beautiful and would definitely rent it again. Sandy Beach service is exceptional.

The place was very clean, beds were very comfortable if you like a firm mattress. We had everything we needed. The location was perfect for what we needed. I dropped one star due to the difficulty we had with the key pad. There were no instructions how to use it and it would take multiple times to enter code to gain access every time. The kitchen window had no seal on it and there were paper towels stuffed around it to keep the air out. The toaster wasn’t the best and partially broken. Most of the plug outlets were loose and our chargers would just fall out. The need to go to the office for a parking pass was a bit frustrating since their hours were 9-noon. It would be nice if those were waiting for us when we arrived. A welcome basket with some snacks, coffee pods, tea, and parking passes would be a nice touch especially for people who arrive late.

Not what was advertised; not clean;--owner never did any upgrades in this unit -.not the faucets, or the windows ( stuffed with tissue), broken screen door on back exit to patio- no use of screen opening in front door - and no use of garage ( as pictured and promised in email correspondence; --in house W/D were really in an unprotected garage, surrounded by large old vacuum, mops, ironing board - very difficult to get to dryer -(I have photos)-;Access to front door lock was terrible (from our first entrance into condo)..- and we were "told" not to use the garage door as access ( which led into kitchen for grocery drop offs) - after much complaining, a representative came, and he when could not unlock front door, -was a keypad ONLY then installed ( 4 weeks into the 6 week stay). Sandy Beach rentals were not particularly helpful ( 2 people were understanding) but one person told us that the garage was never mentioned...it was only pictured in the initial website for the property. Vrbo advertises the "place is all yours"--this owner had every available space in or near garage, locked and filled with his personal belongings ( only ONE clothes closet in the whole downstairs..where we stayed.) One reason we could not use garage was he had a storage unit right in the middle of it - rendering it unusable. Also, the opening into the garage did not even have a lock on it..so an unworkable front door forced us to leave the unit unlocked when we left for the day.

I was there for medical reasons and needed a comfy place to recover
