St pete vacation
Overall the stay was amazing! The resort was quiet and peaceful. Was right on the beach with I think 3 or 4 access points from the room. Within walking distance to multiple local restaurants and shops. Loved to walk around and see everything. The beach access directly in front of the resort was so nice and that part od the beach was not over crowded like some of the other resorts. Would definitely stay here again. The house has everything you need the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and appliances. Bathroom is a little tight but it looks newly remodeled. Fit 8 of us perfectly.

The apartment was clean and well stocked, had all of the necessary kitchenware to make in house meals, saving a few dollars on eating out each day. Check in was easy, they do offer a parking permit. Property is right at the beach entrance and the pool area is nice.

Friendly Native condo
The Friendly Native property has been our go to for 15 years and we have stayed is several units. We have had no complaints until this unit. All the beds were uncomfortable, like a water bed when anyone moved, sloping to the middle from both sides. There were no dish towels or pot holders in the kitchen. We had to use one of the only two wash clothes from the bathroom. For the price we paid the furnishings should have more comfortable, you could feel the wood frame in the only chair in the living room. All the stools were of the cheapest wooden kind with no backs and were not comfortable to sit on for more than 2 minutes at a time.

Clean beach condo in a great location
The condo was very clean and was just like what was in the pictures. The location can not be beat being right by the pool and a block from the beach. The ocean view is great to view beautiful sunsets. There are many restaurants within walking distance too. Rodger was great with communicating in a timely manner and answered all our questions. I would recommend staying here and we'll definitely be back in the future!

Walk up third floor unit
This unit isn't the most updated, feels like a college apartment with nothing matching and random photos on the walls. It was very clean and we weren't there to be inside. Tile floors throughout. Bathroom is tight. Shower has been updated but the vanity is to large for the space. Two normal sized people do not fit. Living room chair is past it prime, it's like sitting on wood. Beds were comfy. Queen in one room, 2 doubles in the the other. No roof top access has been set up which is to bad. Kitchen has everything you would need to cook any meal, drip coffee pot, toaster, blender, pots and pans, no dishwasher. Pool area is great and the beach is steps away. Walking distance to 8 or 10 restaurants. Parking wasn't an issue as there are permit parking areas for FN guest. There were 2 bag chairs and 2 beach towels. Bring TP, paper towel, tissue, trash bags for your stay.

Nice place in a great location. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants. We were close to the beach and it seemed a little quieter than other nearby beaches. The pool and pool area were also nice. This place had everything we needed for our family!

Cute little condo on the beach
We stayed in St. Pete’s for a week while my daughter toured colleges. We wanted to spend our down time on the beach so this condo was the perfect fit. We arrived really early in the morning, 1am so the virtual check in was awesome. The condo was clean, bedding was fresh and parking was ideal. Throughout the week we explored St. Pete’s. Loved the secret garden, shell hunting and Larry’s Ice Cream. We would definitely stay again,

Great location
This is by far our favorite area to vacation in. The restaurants are great, there are seashells galore and the food is amazing. Seriously, this is my 4th time in the last 18 months staying in the area. The unit was clean and is perfectly located. But it is starting to show its age. Several lights didn't work and a couple doors stick, or the knob is hard to turn. But nothing that would deter us from staying here again!

Nice, Convenient, As-Advertised
Location is the best thing--a very short stroll on the boardwalk to get to St. Pete beach. Also central along the main drag, so easy to walk or drive to restaurants. Condo was absolutely fine. Ignore the silly comments about "dated"--the interior was clean and simple. I don't go to FL expecting to be wowed by interior design. As long as it isn't gross, which it wasn't. Pool area was nicer than expected, and very well-maintained. I would give the kitchen a B- . It had all the basics, and we didn't cook much, so it was fine. If you were going to cook a lot, you might find a few things missing (colander, grater). Very small nitpick, they only have 1 couch and a so-so stuffed chair. So barely enough comfortable seating for 4. The clientele in the unit seemed nice. Noisy just one night. All in all, a good crowd. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect beach location
This place is what you'd expect for a great value that is as close to the beach as you can get without being on it! Not perfect but if you're reasonable about what to expect for what you're paying you will be very happy with the unit. Place was clean and well kept minus the back door needs some work (doesn't close properly but will lock with deadbolt if you pull on it while turning deadbolt) No crazy cleaning procedures to perform so that's a major plus for me! Bring your own beach towels they are not supplied for free! Check in and check out instructions were clear and delivered on check in day. Overall 5 stars from me. THANKS!

Mini vacation at the beach
The condo is convenient to the beach, just a short walk across the street. However, the condo would be better if the owner pays attention to the following: 1. The TV in one of the bedrooms is not working at all. We have kids from 8 to 15 and they like to watch different programs. 2. The Wi-Fi is not reliable. My work laptop is unable to connect no matter how I played with it. 3. The owner didn't seem pleasant answering over the phone. 4. One of the doors to get into the condo was very sticky and hard to push.

The property was clean and very accommodating. The area was great and free of commercialization. Other guests were very friendly. One evening a couple sang and played guitar poolside. The location to the beach was great. Loved the security of the locks on door vs. trying to keep up with key card. I would not change a thing.

Great Location, Plenty of Space
We've stayed at the Friendly Native before, and really like the location and neighborhood. Before we booked 1 bedroom which was a little cramped for out family. This time we booked this unit for its 2 bedrooms and pullout couch for more space and comfort. It is a large unit with plenty of space. Nice sized bedrooms and kitchen. The bathroom is a little tight, but has a nice big shower, which is a bonus. The new parking permit system seems to work better, and never had trouble finding parking. We will definitely book this unit again next time we visit St. Pete Beach.
