Great condo w everything we needed

Close to the beach. As advertised. Had everything we needed. Living room and bedroom were excellent.  Will stay again!

Clean and big!

We had an amazing time at the Tropic Terrace. The room was very clean and quiet. Staff was amazing and it was close to everything. We would definitely stay again!!!

Clean and comfortable. Pool area was great! 

What a awesome house! We spent 5 nights and enjoyed every minute. The home is beautifully decorated. Enjoyed all the amenities - pool, beach chairs, bike rides, fishing from the dock and watching the dolphins play. Thank you to the owners for sharing their home with us and to Sandy Beach for answering all my questions and the seamless check-in/checkout. We will be back!

I always love it there and your service is great. Thank you

This is the best place to stay. Big 2 thumbs up. To Sandy Beach Vacations, their staff always very friendly and helpful makes us feel like family. The apartment was great.   State of the art tv's, furniture, decorations, amenities and color. Very modernized unit with everything you need to make your stay a dream come true. Very well taken care and super clean. It is hard to believe this a rental property. We love it. :-) The Garcia's

Sandy Beach was very cooperative in helping extend my stay when my assignment changed

Perfect place to stay for a beach vacation. Everything is within walking distance. Great restaurants, cafes and pubs. John's Pass is a must do!! Beautiful water views and so convenient to get to the beach.

Thank you for the check in/check out arrangements. We had a great time and will be back!!

Sparking clean with everything you need for a perfect beach getaway. Excellent location. We will be back time and time again!!

Easy to get to. Space was clean, well kept, and quiet. The decor was not my taste, but I can see how it would not offend a broad group of people. I would highly recommend!! Will look at booking again soon!

Amazing views with beachfront access! This is our second time staying here with our entire family (two adults and three children) and is more than enough room. The access to the beach makes this unit very desirable. Being able to walk directly out without having to load everything and everyone in and out of a car is so nice and a huge timesaver. They also have a pool (the kids favorite) where you can watch your kids swim right off the balcony and still have the ocean view in the background! It is always well cleaned, maintained and has virtually anything you could need as far as “the little things” in the kitchen and toys in the pool closet. We will definitely be back many more times. Thanks again for such an amazing vacation!

Townhouse is great as it was in past. New owners must be excited to have it. Definitely would come again and recommend. No problems or issues. Pool is very nice!

It’s was a great location and provided most everything you needed. Right off beach and loved it had beach chairs to use. Comfortable for a couple.  

Great location. Right on beach, pool and close to restaurants.

We enjoyed our week. Very clean and comfortable condo. We would definitely stay here again.

My family and I loved our stay in this lovely, newly renovated condo! The property was very clean (inside and out) and accommodating would be an understatement. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything and everything we needed, the rooms were all spacious and provided the perfect at home comfort feeling, and the large balcony overlooking the pool and ocean has the perfect view! The laundry room has a wonderful full size washer and dryer and was stocked with beach toys for the kids to use and even goggles! Chairs, an umbrella, and even coolers were also provided in this condo! We could not have asked for anything more to be provided for us! The swimming pool and hot tub area is very welcoming and very easy to access. Having two small children, the nice clean bathrooms provided there was also a huge plus! Thank you for sharing your condo with us and making our family vacation one to remember!

Unit 14 was perfect. We will definitely be back.

The weather, location and clean accommodations were great. It was a perfect birthday vacation. We plan on visiting again.

The house/apartment is beautiful and very well equipped. The kitchen in particular has everything you need to cook. And the laundry has new machines. 

The unit was everything advertised and more!!   Very clean and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including beach chairs and towels. The views were wonderful and the bird sanctuary next door was a plus for us. We would definitely stay here again!!

Walked into newly renovated condo with brand new appliances; which was fantastic! Had a nice relaxing feel to it with view of pond and fountain outside. Beds are very comfortable and baths had excellent water pressure which is a plus. Nice and clean, definitely recommend! Parking was directly in front of entrance! Pool easy walk away and very close to St Pete Beach and restaurants. Beautiful, safe, golf course community with amazing palm lined streets, and lots of security on golf carts.

We booked a 3-day stay to get out of the cold fall Chicago weather, and had a perfect time relaxing poolside at Harbor Charm. The house is very spacious and accommodating, but the best part about the house is the back yard, which is completely private. The pool is heated, plenty of lawn chairs to lay out and soak up some sun, and at night the pool lights and tiki torches make you feel like you're in the jungle. So cool. There is even an easy-to-use Bluetooth speaker system outside which sounds brand new. I will be coming back!

I liked the location, near downtown and the water as well as the Pinellas Trail. The apartment was convenient and fully furnished.

Amazing condo with an excellent location! Beach is beautiful, we had great weather and are already planning our trip back!

Lovely apartment with a view of the golf course. Really large main shower room off the main bedroom with walk in wardrobe. Kitchen is beautifully finished with cupboards full of all items you could need. Just a lovely apartment - would definitely recommend it.

We watched the dolphins and enjoyed the birds each day and gorgeous sunrise and sunsets from inside or on the patio. As I was recovering from surgery, there could not have been a more delightful and comfortable place to recuperate! The condo was furnished with tasteful and pleasing decor. Everything we needed was provided. Look forward to another visit.

The unit was everything we expected and more!! Fantastic views of sunrise and sunset from the unit. You could sit on the balcony and watch all the bird activity at the sanctuary next door. The unit was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed.

Dear Sandy Vacation Team, We had a very relaxing and beautiful stay. Everything was perfect. 

We had the best long weekend as new empty nesters! The house was perfect! So spacious. It came equipped with everything you could ever possibly need!!! The view out the back was spectacular!! As much as we thought we’d spend all our time at the beach we decided how much we enjoyed the pool and the view so we opted to hang there most of the time. I slept so well. The bed was so comfortable. I was in the master bedroom which stayed so nice and cool. I’ve never seen such a well equipped kitchen. There are games, books and movies galore. The bikes were awesome! Dozens of beach towels too. I could go on and on about how happy I was with this rental home!! And the rental company ladies I spoke with at Sandy Beach Vacation Rentals could not have been nicer and more pleasant!!! This whole experience tops as one of my best ever!!

Very. Nice and comfortable place. Great views and very clean.

Very courteous and friendly staff and amazing condo. Condo is well furnished with everything needed for a trip. We are already trying to decide when we are going back. Thanks for the great stay!

Your place is fantastic. The location was perfect. We had everything we needed, just steps to the beach and the sunset was stunning from our balcony!!!! Our family really enjoyed it and hope to come back someday!

This is our second year to come back to this same property. Loved it so much last year we wanted to do it again! Communications were excellent; we had a few minor issues and they were addressed immediately. Location is superb; unit is amazing; view to the ocean and pool is second to none. Can’t wait to come back next year!

We rented unit 207 at San Remo through Sandy Beach Vacation Rentals at Redington Shores Florida this August (2019.) Cherie was our person of contact and helped us with making our reservation, our stay and everything along the way, and through checkout. It was the GREATEST experience of our lives. The condo was just as it looked in the pictures. So nicely decorated. Bright and cheery and very "beachy". It was clean and ready for our arrival and the best part was that we were allowed to check in VERY early! This was great because our flight arrived at 11:00 am and we would have had many hours to wait. The very thorough check in instructions that were emailed to us before our trip, were easy to follow and worked like a charm! You don't use keys for anything. Everything from entering the building, to entering your condo, to entering the pool area is done by entering a digital code. This was so great to not have to remember to bring different keys with you everywhere you go. There was PLENTY of parking. We had a need for handicap parking and we were able to find a spot almost every day of our stay. It felt like home from the minute we stepped through the door. The first thing we saw was the view from the front door, straight through the living room,directly through the sliding glass doors, looking out to the pool, beach and ocean! It was BREATH TAKING! The owners really put a lot of thought into what a renter would need while vacationing. From soap, dish-washing detergent, paper towels, toilet paper to lots of bath towels and beach towels!!! Which was GREATLY APPRECIATED! There was also a closet full of beach toys, floats, coolers, umbrella, etc. There were lots of extra pillows and many extra blankets (thought we didn't need them.) There were even coat hangars in the closet which was also greatly appreciated. There was every kitchen utensil you could think of and there was both a coffee pot and a keurig. As a huge coffee loving family, this was AWESOME! There was even some coffee to get us started!!!! There were plenty of dishes, glasses, pots, pans, bowls, and silverware. All the appliances were in great working order! There was PLENTY of drawers for clothing. There was a blow dryer in each bathroom. The beds were comfortable and bedding was clean and comfy. You had to keep the a/c at 72 degrees or higher. However, I am somebody, who - for health reasons - needs a very cool (actually cold) environment, and 72 was plenty cool. It was the perfect temperature for me! Most people would probably find it too cool and want to put it up a few degrees, like my family lol. The building is an older building but it is kept up and the grounds are kept well. The pool and hot tub area are awesome. They are enclosed and can only be accessed with a code.  The hot tub was AMAZING! It was hot enough that made you hesitate for a moment at its heat, but then quickly melted into it relaxing your muscles and bones. It was heaven and oh how I wish we were back there right now!! I highly recommend staying here. We are already planning our next stay. You will enjoy Unit 207 very much and Cherie is WONDERFUL to work with!!!!

We loved the Gulfside Manor #2. Everything we needed for a fun filled weekend. The condo was supplied generously. The condo, location, building, and pool were great and we would definitely consider going back next year.

Over the years we have stayed at each of the three Gulfside Manor units, and while all of them are pretty much the same inside, #3 has the best view by far. All these units are everything one could ask for and more! The area itself has so many amenities within walking distance that we barely use our rental car.  We cannot say enough for the Sandy Beach Vacation Rental staff! Carrie, Cherie, and the crew have always taken wonderful care of us, which is one of the reasons we've been coming back year after year, and will continue to do so!

The condo was clean, nicely decorated and had an amazing view of the pool with the bay behind it. We were able to sit on the terrace in the morning and eat breakfast while watching boats drive by and the occasional school of dolphins breach the water. The experience was beautiful! The televisions were all equipped with full cable, Apple tv's (for Netflix and streaming apps), and DVD players. The kitchen had every utensil needed to allow us to cook meals every day. There was even a Netspresso machine!!!! We were so happy to leave this review!  We definitely plan on visiting again next summer!!!

Arrived to a clean, well equipped condo. Just the right size for us, stocked with all the necessary accruements, even beach chairs and a beach buggy. We found this location to be perfect, close to many restaurants, bars, and only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Couldn't ask for more! Will surely be back in the future.

Perfect location, great size condo for me and my girlfriend. Pool was also very clean and quiet!

Everything was wonderful great location and nice unit.  

Absolutely beautiful update unit with all that you will need for a terrific stay. Beautiful pond right out the back door. Great place to watch the birds and just relax. Felt like home!

Thank you for great stay! Loved the view and watching the storms roll in. Would love to see the unit upgraded to be competitive with other units in the area. Thanks again for a great stay!

Very good

Nice renewed unit. Great Main bedroom and bathroom,no hot tube its way more comfortable.  We would comeback no doubt to this great unit. We loved it.  Thanks a lot!

From booking, payment and welcome pack everything went smoothly and the team were happy to answer questions and provided help and answers when needed. We arrived at the apartment, followed the instructions and entered what can only be described as excellent. The pictures on the website reflected what the apartment was like, if anything they didn’t do it enough justice. The kitchen was well equipped and there were beach towels and beach chairs for us to use too. We had the beach to ourselves most days and the pool was a friendly place to go. The grounds were immaculate and the whole area felt very safe. We wouldn’t hesitate in coming back or recommending this apartment.

It was awesome

It was very clean and well-maintained. The beds were very comfortable and it was beautifully decorated just as the pictures show. Customer service was top notch, they were quick to respond to any questions we had.

Nice condo.  Rental management company was very responsive throughout stay.

Fabulous Condo set in beautiful St Pete’s Beach! Great family stay, plenty to do and very relaxing holiday! Condo was home from home absolutely perfect and had everything we needed for our stay and more!

Everything was great. The house is in good shape and well kept.  Thank you very much

This hotel is very clean and well maintained. Due to the trip just being myself and my younger daughter, the overall size of the hotel was perfect for us because it was smaller and quieter. The outdoor patio, beach access and beach itself are all very well maintained and are great! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Sandy Beach for the opportunity.

Had a wonderful time at Gulfside Manor, Unit 2, last week. Stayed from July 27th through August 3rd. Everything was 'as advertised', and the staff at Sandy Beach Vacations was great. We were able to get in a little early, which was nice. The pool was great, but the beach was better!! Saw dolphins everyday.There were plenty of beach chairs and towels, and a few toys too! We left a cooler-bag and a pop-up canopy at the unit for the next guests to enjoy when they go to the beach. Would definitely stay here again, and would recommend to anyone wanting a nice, peaceful getaway! The Simmons' & The Coopers' Families.
