1 bedroom condo with balcony. From the pictures I thought it faces straight on the beach. View was still good, but condo balcony is actually on the side of the building. Just requires angling your position to have a fuller view of the beach. Nicely kept and decorated. Wonderful doors and windows that allow you to hear the surf from both bedroom and living room. Close to everything on the beach.

On the beach, across the road from Publix, a bar and restaurant. One block from another couple of restaurants. Easy drive to other beaches. Condo had two bathrooms, a nice balcony and washer/dryer. However, it needed refurbishment and new crockery and glassware. It would also have been useful to have instructions for the appliances. TV in lounge was temperamental but worked fine in bedroom. Overall, felt very safe.

The location was perfect - right on the beach. We stayed in 505 and I loved the bright colors and the "beachy" decor in the condo. It was very cute. We enjoyed being on the fifth floor. I took fabulous pictures of the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico right from my balcony. It was just myself and my two teenagers so it was the perfect size condo for us. It was very comfortable and clean. I could tell it had been freshly cleaned just prior to our arrival. It also always comes in handy to have a washer and dryer when vacationing at the beach so I made full use of that amenity. The bed was comfortable. My daughter liked the sleeper sofa, but I do not think I could have slept on it. I tried it out and the bars underneath the mattress were too hard for me. Having a full kitchen was great. We took a break from the beach and ate lunch in the condo every day. We enjoyed the pool very much. The biggest con I must mention and I do hope they fix is the hot tub. The water temperature in the hot tub was WAY too hot. It was unbearable. I just stepped in up to my ankles and could not stay more than 30 seconds. Not being able to sit in the hot tub was disappointing to my son. We did have a toilet overflow while we were there, but I called the rental company and maintenance was very responsive and called back right away even though it was about 9 p.m. on a Tuesday night. The toilet fixed itself so they did not have to come out. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation and would definitely recommend Gulf Strand to anyone visiting St. Pete!

We had a one bedroom, 2 bath condo that was decorated jimmy buffet style. Loved it. Very clean,great bed, complete kitchen, nice people. We booked it in November for a Feb. vacation. Very surprized to be able to get this property for a week but did. The process from booking to check in was seamless. Loved the combination lock, not having to carry a key. Check in was right at the unit since it was a combination lock. The management company was at your beck n call if needed. Balcony looking at the beautiful beach, great for a morning coffee. All in all, it was fabulous. No need for a car because everything was within walking distance. Will definitely be staying there again.

We felt at home as soon as we opened the door to the cheerful interior and a view of one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. This place is well-maintained and has every amenity, but the extras put it over the top: a FULLY equipped kitchen, bright lighting in kitchen and bathrooms, plenty of electrical outlets, fluffy towels, a comfy king bed, TV in both living room and bedroom, reliable Wi Fi. The window treatments admit bright daylight when you want it and (take note late sleepers!) block it when you don’t. The management provides a “starter kit” with things like soaps, paper towels, and toilet paper, so you don’t have to run out immediately to the supermarket -- which BTW is just across the street, along with a mom-and-pop deli, a fun Japanese restaurant, and a French bakery serving great coffee, croissants, tasty salads. St Pete beach is a bit more refined than nearby Clearwater, less honky-tonk, but if you want some more frenzied shopping and you love crowds, Clearwater is just a couple of minutes’ ride north. And 505 is just ¾ miles from the Bayway, which is the scenic route to downtown St. Petersburg. We don’t know why former tenants complained of noise. We were there for 9 days and heard not a peep of mechanical noise. There is some very minor traffic noise – every beachfront property for miles along the coast is positioned on Gulf Blvd, but this is a resort community, not a commuter route, and the road is quiet from about 9pm to 9am.

The apartment was perfect, decorated with lots of joy and fun, really comfortable, perfectly convenient to grocery shopping and all kinds of restaurants, not to mention the beach and a plethora of Tiki bars. I went there to do some writing and spent a lot of time on the balcony with the lovely view of the shoreline. The only small considerations are that you have to go to the beach to see the sunset, the noise from the road can be intrusive sometimes, and if you're cooking in the apartment you have to provide everything like oil, S&P, any spices, baggies, etc. Just be forewarned. Fortunately there's a Publix right across the road.

Booked this property for a 4 day visit to St. Pete. Condo was really cute and comfortable, everything in good repair. Gorgeous view of the beach. The outdoor pool was terrific, with plenty of chairs and even a huge bin full of pool toys/floats. Two gas grills outside were perfect for our cooking out needs. The only downside was noise - lots of traffic and a noisy air conditioner unit ... bothered my husband but I think I slept just fine! Most important to me - we were arriving just a few days after Hurricane Irma and the communication from staff was BEYOND EXCELLENT.

The Gulf Strand Resort was extremely convenient and well-equipped with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Room 505 was immaculately cleaned when we arrived and as we departed we left a generous tip to thank the cleaning crew for their attention to detail. It was well supplied with coolers, beach toys, and extra beach towels - VERY handy! Also in-room laundry was extremely appreciated in order to pack light for the week. We rented the yellow Cabanas on the beach every day and it was a pleasure dealing with Sammy and Gus and their team ready to set us up for a comfortable day at the beach. The Tiki bar next door is also conveniently located off beach access. We literally spent the entire week in want of nothing more - this place has it all. Definitely 5 stars on this trip for us !! Thanks again

First time visiting St. Petersburg. Enjoyed the beautiful beaches and warm water! The condo location was great! About 1 minute walk to the beach! The condo itself was nice. Nice views off the deck. Restaurants and stores close by. I'm only giving the condo 3 stars because I felt the condo could have been cleaner. The walls and base boards were pretty dirty. The floor felt dirty too. The bed was not that comfortable. Some blinds broken. Curtains didn't fit Windows. I was also disappointed that there was no small shower soap provided or laundry soap. First condo I have rented that didn't have these items. Overall, not a bad place. Just needs some deep cleaning.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll make sure everything gets a very good cleaning, and we'll make sure the blinds and bed are good. Hope we can help again in the future.

We stayed in 505 in July 2016. The condo looks just as it does in the photos. The second bathroom and washer/dryer were very helpful to have. The utensils and pots and pans could use a refresher; they were old and had not been well taken care of. There is a great view of the beach from the balcony, though you are directly over a public beach parking lot. We had ants in the kitchen and dining area throughout the stay, and the management very quickly offered to come out for a treatment. The beach is great, with very calm water and a lot of white sand. It does get very crowded on the weekend because of the public beach next door, but we just moved down the beach a little to a less crowded area. The location of the condo is very convenient - Publix, Walgreens and Chick Fil A are just across the street.

While the condo was nice for the most part, I did notice that the décor seemed old and a lot of things were broken. There are vertical blinds on many of the windows and many were either broken or missing. The beach chairs provided were old and somewhat rusty. One was completely broken. My biggest problem, however, was that the elevator broke on our second day there and was never fixed. We were there for five days, four of them having to walk up and down five flights of stairs. It wasn't too bad until it was time to check out and we had to lug all of our things down those five flights of stairs. Again, the condo was ok, the beach was nice, but I wouldn't spend my money on it again.

Thank you for your feedback. We have replaced the beach chairs and will work on replacing the blinds. The elevator is back in service, and we do apologize for the inconvenience. Fortunately, our staff was available to carry your luggage down for you and we were very glad to be able to assist.

We've stayed at many places on St Pete Beach and this place was one of the best! The location was awesome along with everything you need in a kitchen. Even though it was not oceanfront, there were still incredible views of the ocean and beach. It felt like we were facing the ocean. The condo is very spacious and very clean. We will definitely be back!

This condo is in a very nice location, well maintained, and we can't wait to go back. Beach volleyball and Tiki bar right by the walkway from the condo out to the beach. Very popular spot, so if you don't want to be around a crowd keep looking. If you want to have a lot of fun on the beach though, this is a great place to stay.

Sea Turtle restaurant directly opposite Gulf Strand well worth a visit. Staff/owner very friendly, home cooked food, very good and excellent choice as was the small Italian restaurant called Pia at gulfport a very short drive away and as a fisherman fort de soto park gulf pier is an absolute must do

This is a comfortable condo with a nice ocean view. Enjoyed breakfasts every morning on the balcony with view of beach. Sunsets were absolutely awesome from either the balcony or short walk to beach for "full" view. Kitchen could have used a few more items. Based on a list of restaurant recommendations sent by itrip.net we found an incredible Mexican dinner at Red Mesa Cantina in downtown St. Pete! We also had a great experience kayaking in the nearby Ft. Desoto Park.
