Large private balcony with Gulf views! 2 Bedroom condo. FN #205

ACT Vacation Rentals presents: Friendly Native #205

A unique third floor 2 bedroom condo with a private sundeck to lay out, enjoy the day and relax watching the sunset. (3rd floor - no elevator)

***Please READ****: this condo is a bit dated. Window treatment & all furnishings are older, we like to ensure guests know this before booking. Please see the pictures. This unit has a rare, private roof top balcony - it is the best feature!! We have many units in the same building that are fresh and updated, but this is not one of them. The price reflects this. It's a good deal for an older unit. If you want modern & updated, we can give you other units in the building to check out for a little more money. If you are okay with 'retro beachy cottage style, no frills, staying at grandma's old beach condo that's a bit out dated' then this place will work fine. No frills people that like camping are a fan of this unit. It definitely does the job for a family beach vacation on a budget.

Retro beachy vibe condo with cable TV and Wi-fi included. Great views, location and large private sundeck. A queen bed in one bedroom, 2 twin beds in the second bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living room. Magnificent Gulf of Mexico views from the living room and private sundeck. All linens & towels are included. The kitchen has dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. The private deck has plenty of room to watch the activities at the pool and the beach.

Come enjoy your St Pete Beach get-away! Literally just cross the street and you are on majestic St Pete Beach enjoying the sand between your toes!

A poolside & beachside condo with gulf views - sunsets are included
The kitchen has pots, pans and all kitchens essentials to enjoy your vacation. This property offers a heated pool with plenty of seating for guests. You can chat it up with neighbors or relax and keep to yourself and read a book.

Great place to stay on St. Pete Beach

Awesome place across the street from beautiful St Pete beach
My family and I took advantage of the remote work and virtual learning this year and stayed over a month here. We loved the location and the huge balcony overlooking the pool and the beach. The host Roger was very helpful and easy to talk to. As mentioned in the description, the unit is outdated, but that was fine considering the low price. We’d definitely like to come back.

Great location, apartment needs updating.
The location was great, right by the beach with restaurants nearby. Communication with the host was good, and check-in was easy. The apartment itself is very dated, and while it had everything we needed there was one annoyance: most of the electrical plugs only have the two prongs with no ground socket. That meant that we had to hunt around the apartment to find the few outlets with a ground pin in order to plug in a number of our electronics, such as laptop chargers.

Daughters 21st birthday trip
The condo was just as shown online. It was quaint clean and in an excellent location. Roger was the rental manager I worked with and he was very accessible and easy to work with. I highly recommend this place. Again, the condo is as advertised. Very dated. But it’s clean and there is a lot of room inside which worked great for myself, my 21 yr old daughter and my best friend. Very pleased with our stay. The pool area is very nice also! (No bathroom at pool area And no elevators in the buildings here FYI) second time for me at this condo complex and yes I would stay again.

I love the Friendly Native!
We have been to Friendly Native many times. We understand that each condo has different owners and updated based on owners. I was somewhat surprised by the dated decor and furniture but the condo was clean overall (some stains on carpet and furniture) but overall it "did the trick" for us and we had a nice stay. When talking to Property Manager, he did say there was a "disclaimer" when reserving (which I did not see) and that the price was reduced due to need for updating. I would rent again as long as it was priced accordingly.

Best Part...walking distance to beach
This unit definitely needs upgrades, but that is how it's advertised. It's for sure over priced, but it depends on how much you value the location. I didn't expect to have to clean the unit to stay comfortably for the price we paid, and the deck with the view was not worth the $$ when the beach was only a 5 min walk. We barely used the deck. The pool is saltwater, that was awesome, but we talked to alot of people by the pool, and there are many other much nicer units in the building for same or less rent. Do your research.

Like a beach cottage-charming
My cousin and I stayed with our 16 and 17 yr old boys. It was awesome. So much in walking distance for all of us to enjoy-food, beach, pool, stores and even scooters to rent. Being on a budget we did bring a few travel size essentials in our checked bag to avoid the grocery store (and not knowing what was there) and we are glad we did! Dish soap, trash bags, TP, coffee, filters, Kleenex, wipes, baggies. There is a convenience store a little over a block away and grocery store 1.5 mile away. We did pack our own beach towel as they are not provided and may not have been available to rent from ACT when we were there. The bbq is charcoal not gas so you would need to buy lighter and charcoal. Everything was clean and as described - yes it needs updating as stated in the description but we loved it as is!

Very old and worn out
I've stayed in the same building before so I expected some age, but this unit looks like it hadn't been upgraded in 40 years. All the furniture was old and worn, several lights didn't work, there were only one or two 3 wire outlets in the unit, and other 2 wire outlets had old-style wood covers that didn't allow plugging in a phone charger. The AC was set to 70 and couldn't be turned lower and the bedroom was always about 5 degrees warmer. It took almost 12 hours before the living room got to 70 (it was a hot day) and I ended up sleeping on the couch because it was too hot in the bedroom. The private balcony is built on the rooftop of the other building, the deck is rotting and the railings are flimsy. I go on these trips to relax and telework during the day and enjoy the evenings. This unit was so old and uncomfortable, I couldn't work. I left 3 days early. If you're looking for a crash pad for college kids, this might work... It reminds me of places I'd stay with fraternity brothers in the 80s.

VRBO Customer Service is great!
Do not rent this place. It is a 3rd floor walk up and there has not been any maintenance on the unit ever. There was a very strong mold smell and the place is filthy. VRBO was great at helping us communicate with the host and, we did not stay at this property after seeing the condition. Public beach access is right there and parking was great.
