One is never sure what the place they pick will really look like. Well this one more then past the test. Very well appointed. Clean & perfect location within the complex. Enjoyed my stay very much, even looked into buying a unit myself. Mary has one of the nicest if not the nicest unit in the building. I’d come back again, thank you so much for sharing 👍

A true gem
The unit was exactly as pictured and described only better. The host has done an amazing job of providing just about everything you could want or need for a "home away from home". The bed and furniture were comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped and the deck furniture was perfect. We loved the high top table for meals and watching the sunset and the comfortable chaise chairs for reading and relaxing. We normally stay on the beach but we found the view over the bay to be every bit as enjoyable watching the boats pass by. This was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in - spotless. Kudos to Mary for providing everything we needed and to her cleaning crew for their great work. We loved our week there and will definitely return

Dolphin Lovers Dream
This is the second time I have stayed at the complex. A different unit/owner. This unit was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. Nice bedding and towels. Bed was comfortable. The view was great. We saw dolphins everyday and a few times pretty close to the shore. It’s a short 8 minute drive to the beach and Madeira Beach is so much nicer than Clearwater. Definitely will stay again.

We enjoyed this cute condo with beautiful bay views. We did see dolphins when sitting out on the balcony! Condo was convenient to Treasure Island beach and we thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay. We hope to come back some day! Condo was clean, accurately pictured on this site, with full size washer and dryer.

Our stay at Boca Ciega
Beautiful view from our 2nd floor patio though we didn't see any dolphins. Very quiet even though next to a highway. Nice not having other condo buildings right next to us. Our unit was beautifully decorated and appropriately stocked with necessary supplies. The units are on the small side with very little room to park suitcases out of the way,but adequate for a short stay.

Best place yet!
We were lucky enough to snag this beautiful condo and so glad we did. This place was beautifully decorated and cozy. Our host Mary was one of the best things about our stay. The previous occupants had broken a sliding door. It was scheduled to be repaired during our stay. Mary bought us dinner just for any inconvenience. She even stopped by to make sure everything was going smoothly. She's a very sweet lady that takes pride in her condo. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and has a very comfy bed. The view was great. Will definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at Mary's place for 2 weeks in celebration of our 10 year wedding anniversary. I have to say, we didn't want to leave. The views, the property, the decor and the amenities were absolutely ideal. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much Mary for creating such beautiful vacation accommodations.

Great place to stay!
Mary is a wonderful host! Her communication was excellent and her condo was perfect for our 3 night stay. Everything was exactly as described. The condo was very well equipped with everything anyone could need during their stay and very clean. The condo complex was also very nice with a beautiful pool. If I had to say something negative it would only be that there is some traffic noise from the busy street adjacent to the complex. Other than that we highly recommend this property! Thank you, Mary!!

This place is a gem! It was much better than we expected! Mary is great to work with. She answered each one of my questions ASAP. The place is very clean, very comfortable for us and very cozy. Nothing beats the balcony and the view! That was the highlight of our day; sitting in the balcony watching the sunset and the dolphins! And at the end of the day, walk to the Doc Ford's Rest. :). The pool and rest of the facilities were great. Will stay again and again!
