We had an amazing month in this unit! The view of the pool and ocean were amazing!! You are close to great restaurants, shopping and any activity! We have two boys 10 and 12 and they loved it! You’re in a quiet residential area which was perfect for us. The unit has every amenity and was so clean and cozy. We enjoyed Guppies, Frenchys Rockaway, VIP Mexican, Parlor donuts, French Bakery, and Beach Waves for nearby restaurants. Check out Captain Kyle for fishing - we caught over 30 fish in 4 hours!! Communication and support from the owner was fast and smooth. We loved every minute of our time here and will definitely be back! Thanks for the great getaway it was exactly what my soul needed!!
Beautiful condo. Had everything one would need to have a wonderful stay. The kitchen was equipped like your own. There was so many beach chairs, toys and umbrellas. We would love to visit again.
One of the nicest VRBO's we've ever rented. Superb location right on the beach, beautiful sunsets (this time of year) and excellent restaurants quite nearby. Everything about the accommodations was first class and Cameron could not have been more responsive.
This was our 2nd time staying in Indian Rocks Beach and the 2nd time at the Driftwood Sands. We stayed 1 month the first time and would have stayed for 2 months this year but COVID got in the way.
We absolutely loved everything about the condo and the area. The condo is very nicely appointed and pristine with new appliances and furniture and everything else you might need. The people at Driftwood Sands are very friendly , the pool and grilling areas are great and what could be better than being steps from the ocean.
Our typical day was coffee on the balcony listening to the birds and hearing and watching the ocean. This was followed by a 45 minute walk on the beach. Every evening we watched a gorgeous, breathtaking sunset, with a glass of wine. Most balconies did the same thing.
Bonus, it's a short walk to about ten great restaurants including a new Italian restaurant right across the street, and a short drive to dozens more. Publix is about a 10 minute drive. There's a gas station / convenience store across the street - a little pricey, but easy if you run out of something.
We had visits from friends and family, including our granddaughter, at various times, and they all loved it. The only problem we encountered was the dishwasher broke down but it was fixed the same day, and we were left a bottle of wine for our inconvenience.
Would we go back? COVID permitting yes, we've already booked for 3 months in 2021.
Apart from our own issue with accessing the lockbox in the dark at 3am with sprinklers going :) . This was the perfect location and condo you could imagine. Location was fantastic for the beach and pretty close to most areas of St Pete. Plenty of things within walking distance if you desire.
Condo itself was just beautiful. Everything was relatively new because I gather we were the first to stay here with this owner. They even went so far as to purchase some baby plates and cutlery. The condo was not baby proof but we did manage to get by with only two small incidents.
Washing machine broke at one point but was repaired fairly quickly and their was a small problem with parking that was soon rectified. The agent handling this rental was fantastic and very responsive.
This condo was super quiet and we hardly saw anybody else around. Could have just been the time of year we were there but we did stay a long time (almost two months).
I would definitely bring my family here again as we loved it so much. It has everything you could possibly want as the owner has furnished it with all the bits and pieces you might need. We added a few things on our departure as we couldn't fit it all in our suitcases but the next person to come will be happy.
Overall I think this place was awesome and the owners and agent were so nice to us. I would definitely recommend staying here.
