We had the best time at The Pickett Fence!! This was the first airbnb that I actually felt safe and relaxed in. Jason is a wonderful host and gave a perfect tour of the house when we arrived. There was everything we needed and more here! Next time I stay I can pack much lighter 😉.

Home in St. Petersburg
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 162 reviewsSPARKLING HOT Modern Pool Home- Minutes to beach!
We stayed in St. Petersburg recently for my sister's funeral, and we brought our 94-year-old mother with us. The space was perfect for her, offering a place where she could relax, and when the weather allowed, she enjoyed sitting out back. The property was exactly as advertised, and we only had a couple of minor cosmetic issues. However, the team addressed our concerns immediately, and we were really impressed with their prompt and thoughtful responses. They were not only professional but also empathetic and understanding of our situation, which made our stay even more comforting during such a difficult time. Charles

Condo in Treasure Island
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 127 reviewsBeachfront w/ Stunning Sunsets in Prime Location.
Absolutely beautiful! The pictures don't do the view justice. Being able to walk directly onto the beach was amazing! the sunsets were absolutely stunning!
Condo in Madeira Beach
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 119 reviewsArie Dam 302, Beach Front Condo - 2Bed/2Bath
We were a group of 5 women, we had a fabulous time! Plenty of amenities for 5 people except for beach chairs which were available to rent on the beach. We had an issue with the dryer not working so we weren't able to do any laundry which was a small issue. I reported it to Franca and she replied right away that she was going to schedule someone to come look at it but never heard anything back from her after that. To get to the beach from the condo you need to go through a gate that is locked at the pool and then through another gate to get to the beach. Otherwise you have to walk around the front and down the public beach access. There were only 2 keys so that was an issue, maybe a lock with a code would be more helpful? All in all the condo was everything that was advertised. Thank you Franca for sharing your home!
Condo in Indian Shores
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 368 reviewsIndian Shores Gulf Front Rental

Condo in Clearwater
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 143 reviews5 *Waterfront Condo,3 Beds,2 Baths, Pool, HOT-TUB.
David's place was absolutely amazing! We have never stayed in an AirBNB before, but the next one will definitely have big shoes to fill. David has everything you could want and more. The pictures matched exactly what we got. He had beach toys, beach towels, coolers. wagon, beach chairs. umbrella, and many other things. Kitchen had everything you would have at home. The only thing you will need to bring is clothes. Every time I contacted David before our vacation, he responded usually within a few hours. While we were there he answered almost immediately. I can't say enough good things about David's condo and him as an owner. Highly recommend! Watching the dolphins during breakfast was a plus! Thank you for everything David!
Condo in Bradenton
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 110 reviewsFlorida Bella Rosa-2 spas & pools near IMG/beaches
We are already looking to see when we can come back to Florida and stay in Daniel's rental again! It has everything you need, it is well-kept, and it is close to everything you want/need (the beach, Detwiler's, Publix, stores, restaurants). It is in a safe location. The Shorewalk ammenities (pools and hot tubs) are nice as well. Even though one pool's heater was broken, there was another pool to choose from and two hot tubs. He checked-in with us to make sure check-in went well and to make sure that our stay was going well. Daniel provided thorough instructions and recommendations for everything you could possibly need. He was a great host with a great home away from home!

If you have a group, this is a great stay. When she arrived, my wife called it not only beautiful but perfect. But even better were the owners. They stood out in all our needs, questions, and interruptions of their lives. Whenever we need the space for accommodations this is the place we'll book well in advance. We plan to... our itinerary involved both the airports and a place to stay pre- and post-cruise. We love your place it's spacious and well designed. We also care about you! Until next time, remain well.
