Waves 16: 1-Bedroom Paradise with Heated Pool in

This second-floor beautiful and updated condo overlooks the Waves tropical courtyard pool. One bedroom, one bath - perfect for that romantic couple getaway.  It can sleep four guests.  Waves-16 has been freshly painted and has a new sofa, seat, and mattress.  New "Smart" HDTV in living room (Netflix, Amazon Movies, etc. with your account), wall-mounted 40" TV in bedroom, washer and dryer in unit, free North American long distance, and free wireless internet access too! Come experience this amazing, peaceful getaway!

Waves feature 20 individually owned one and two-bedroom condos. Gated code entry to the complex leads you to the heated/chilled courtyard pool, BBQ, and on-site coin laundry. The unit has two assigned parking spots (You can park one behind the other). Located just a short 5-minute walk from the beautiful St. Pete Beach white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. Recently selected as the country’s top beach destination and renowned for its jaw-dropping sunsets, St Pete Beach is an ideal vacation getaway. Many amenities in the area include boat rentals, bike rentals, para-sailing, stand-up paddle boards, fishing, dolphin watch cruises, jet skis, kayaks, and almost any water sport imaginable, plus shopping on Corey Ave and many fantastic restaurants.

St. Pete Beach, the most southern link in a chain of barrier islands comprising the Tampa Bay Sun Coast, offers residents and visitors miles of pristine white sandy beaches bordering the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Previously known as St. Petersburg Beach, it has various accommodations, from large-scale resorts to classic Florida mom-and-pop vintage motels that bring back memories of old Florida.

The city was incorporated in 1957 with the consolidation of the Towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar, Belle Vista, St. Petersburg Beach, and unincorporated Pinellas County to become the “City of St. Petersburg Beach.” In 1994, the citizens voted to shorten the name to “St. Pete Beach” to lessen the confusion with the City of St. Petersburg, located on the mainland to the east. The City of St. Pete Beach is just off the Pinellas County mainland of Saint Petersburg, just south of Treasure Island, 20 miles from Clearwater Beach, and within 30 miles of St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International Airport.

With year-round sunshine and abundant recreational activities, restaurants, and shopping, St. Pete Beach is one of the world's most enjoyable places to live and vacation.

Great location. Super clean with all the amenities. Pool was great and a block from beach.
5 star. Property Manager was very responsive and they allowed us early check in and late check out due to a flight delay. Pool was great, condo was super clean with all the modern amenities and it was close to beach and restaurants. We would definitely recommend to friends and family of all ages! Great starkly, thank you!!!

Very nice apartment. Great location
For the money, the experience was awesome. Laundry facilities were a big plus for an extended stay. Kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. I am used to premium bedding from 5 star hotels and my own home. I found the pillows and bedding to be a little less than comfortable. Also, as a media consumer from Malaysia I found the cable TV from Spectrum to be totally vacant of relevant news. Can't fault the property owner for American media, but too bad. . . All-in-all one of the best vacations I have ever enjoyed.

Perfect!
My family came down for a quick trip and had a wonderful time. The condo was very clean and had all of the necessities needed. We only had to worry about making a quick trip to the store for food. The walk to the beach takes 5 minutes and the condo had a beach cart, chairs, and pool noodles to use. There were even extra beach towels which was nice. I think the only suggestion I would make would be regarding the pull out couch. My son chose not to sleep on it because it was very uncomfortable. We would definitely consider this unit in the future!

Great beach getaway
Had a great beach getaway over the holiday weekend. Upham beach is about a 3 block walk, approx 5-7 mins from leaving room to walking on sand via public access spot. Parking spot fit 2 cars comfortably. Close to main road, gulf blvd. About a 3 min walk to waffle house or coffee/pastry spot at end of street made breakfast easy. Very clean. And I’m particular & wipe down every location upon check in. This place was really clean, I loved it. My son enjoyed streaming all his fav shows on living room tv. Good AC kept us cool during heat wave. No frills pool area, lots of debris falling from palms into pool. But was nice to take a quick dip after long day in sand. Apartment was very well kept, homey & had everything you need. Appliances, kitchen utensils, washer/dryer, big closet. 2 minor recommendations-there were multiple messages around instructions for stay (ie messages on vrbo, text or binder in apt) As most repeated with slight differences, perhaps consolidating into one message or page will help simplify for guest. Also bath towels had a slight vinegar smell upon using. Would definitely recommend staying. Thank you

Everything was as expected from the description and photos. The main bed was comfortable but loud with any movement. The Sandy beach condo stated they had pack n plays to rent when in fact they did not so that was stressful but all worked out. We would stay there again!

Super close to the beach and only few min ride to different towns. Restaurant options at walking distance, not high end, but ok for eating and have a good time. Apartment is on the small side, but we were only two so it was enough for us. Supermarket a mile or so away. They had all you need for the beach and laundry machine inside the apartment. Place is on the older side but overall well kept

Ok for the price
For family reasons, we made travel plans within just a few weeks of the 4th of July weekend, and VRBO properties were the only accommodations still available. This one was rated high for cleanliness but the refrigerator handle was sticky, there were hairs in the tub and the outside of the toilet base had "evidence of use". The bed was awful, it made a sound every time we made the smallest move. We never felt unsafe, but the people occupying the neighboring units were who you would expect at a roadside motel. Living room furniture out on the walkway, kids in diapers running around... NOT the place to stay if you're used to a Marriott or Hilton.

Spring Break 2021
I loved how quiet this place was and I felt so safe there (especially since it was all girls in our group). I really was satisfied with how clean it was and there was supplies for the beach, kitchen utensils, etc. My only thing I would change is I wish we would've had at least 2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 guests. But other than that I really enjoyed my stay! Will come again in the future:)

Great Condo in Great Location
This is my 2nd year staying for a month in Waves 16. It is comfortable, homey, and very well supplied with kitchen & beach items. The location is the best and is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, ice cream, shopping, bank, post office, & a delicious Italian bakery. Sandy Beach Vacation Rentals is very receptive to any needs.

Beautiful apartment with perfect location
I loved this apartment and will definitely be back. It was the perfect location, 5 minute walk to the beach and Gulf Blvd with a number of shops and restaurants. The unit was in excellent condition and was beautifully decorated. I was only there for 5 days but the in unit washer/dryer was great for longer stays. I also liked that beach chairs and umbrellas were included. The pool was very nice and well maintained. It was a very safe building with the key code on the main entry door, and I loved that the apartment also had a key code as opposed to carrying a key around.

St. Pete & The Wave 16 Perfect Together
First, kudos to Sandy Beach for a perfect experience! The Waves 16 had everything we needed. Well equipped unit with all the amenities ya\ou need. Super fast internet service and a smart HDTV great for streaming cable service had about 200 TV channels. Lots of close-by places for our evening entertainment, even during the COVID mess. Did I say everything is walkable? A great Gulf beach a few blocks away, and not crowded. The Waves 16 have all the beach implements, too (chairs, umbrella, mats, and a beach buggy to tote all the stuff - couldn't be better. We'll want to book this place on our next visit to Florida.

We have been enjoying Waves #16 for several years, this year was very different due to the virus. We stayed together with the folks from units 15 and 17 we travelled down with them and enjoyed the time we had. The apartment is still very comfortable and nice and clean. My only mention is the bed it's very squeaky especially for a light sleeper. We have booked again for next year hoping everything will be back to normal.
