Testimonials for beach rentals in Pass-A-Grille, Florida, and Bodega Bay, California.
“Loved the location and the owner was very gracious. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us lots of information about the area. Beach was right across the street and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. Thanks!”

Pass-a-Grille is a lovely small quaint peninsula with wonderful access to the beach on a quiet street. We parked and walked wherever we needed to go. There is a dog beach near the rental that provides a nice place to enjoy the beautiful sunrises. Sunsets and beach views are available from the unit. We enjoyed Brass Monkey, Seahorse and cooking dinner in the well equipped rental kitchen. Cheryl was available via text anytime we had questions. We left something in the rental and she generously mailed it to us. Will definitely go back.

My family spent the summer and fall of 2017 at this fantastic condo on St. Pete Beach and we had an absolute blast! We'd sold our home last year and were looking for a short term rental while our new home was being built. Luckily a friend suggested that instead of some stuffy apartment complex, we should consider something more adventurous. My wife and I have two boys, 10 & 8 years old, as well as a yellow lab. We were looking for a place that could handle us all comfortably. My wife came across this listing on St Pete Beach and it was a perfect fit. The condo has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a great living room, and a well-appointed kitchen. The boys shared the back bedroom which has two twin beds. We took the master, which left the third bedroom for guests (who came out of the woodwork when they found out we were living in such a great beach condo). We'd put everything in storage except our clothes and found everything we needed already in place. The view from the patio was spectacular. We loved to sit out there and grill awesome seafood or kebabs from Shaner's Land and Sea Market down the way. Robert's electric grill worked great. The condo is beautifully located, just south of the Don Cesar. My boys and I loved to walk over to Uncle Andy's Ice Cream Parlor. It's also a bike ride or a quick drive away from some great restaurants in Pass-a-Grille. We had so much fun walking down to the beach every evening for sunset (though you do have a perfect view of them from the balcony). The beach out front is very wide and beautiful and it's one of the quietest spots on the beach. It almost feels like your own private beach. We were there during sea turtle hatching season and actually got to see up two nests hatch up close. What an awesome experience for the kids (hint: watch the turtle watchers – they know when and where to go, but it still requires a lot of patience and luck). We ended up staying a couple of months longer than originally planned. Robert and Cheryl are such nice people and are very easy to work with. We will always treasure the summer and fall we spent in this condo. Treat yourself like we did – you will not be disappointed.

I was looking for a place to get away from everything for a few days by myself and I couldn't have picked a better place. The location was perfect; not real touristy, clean beaches, and several places to eat within walking distance. The house was clean and had everything I needed. Cheryl could not have been more accommodating. From greeting me when I arrived, offering suggestions of where to eat, providing plenty of beach items (chairs, towels, umbrellas), and being available to answer any questions. This just might become an annual trip for me, as well as coming with my husband and/or friends. Hated to leave!!!

My wife and I have been to Pass-a-Grille a few times this past year as we're looking for a home in the area to settle down. It's hard to beat the laid back feel of Pass-a-Grille and the kind people there, Cheryl being on of them. We look forward to our move in 2018. Come visit, you won't be disappointed! Mike & Karen.

My Wife and I stayed the weekend for our first anniversary. We had a wonderful time. Cheryl was very accommodating, made sure we had everything we needed, and had many suggestions for activities and places to eat. The unit itself was pretty small, but honestly it was all we needed. Most of our time was spent on the beach which was directly across the street, or at one of the restaurants within walking distance. Our car stayed parked the entire weekend. It was really nice!

We really enjoyed our anniversary weekend spent at this lovely, wonderfully located house. Cheryl and Hobart provided a perfect cosy location that included a bottle of wine to celebrate the occasion! The arrival instructions were spot on, as well as the restaurant and bar recommendations.

We had a great week in Pass-a-Grille. Cheryl was helpful and attentive from beginning to end. The property is small but very comfortable and quiet (new windows, new AC) even on windy days. This was the most thoroughly equipped and furnished property we've ever stayed at. And most of all, IT'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BEACH.

The condo is clean and private. Cheryl is very responsive and provided great recommendations regarding local restaurants to try.

Perfect location. Fantastic view and very private. No fighting the traffic on Gulf Blvd to get here but yet theres no shortage of restaurants and beach bars just a short distance away if you choose. You can hear the sound of the surf from the lanai or on a warm night you can sleep with the door to the master bedroom open and listen to the surf. Lots of room in the unit and a great washer and dryer. I felt completely safe at all times in this area. The owners always responded immediately to any questions or issues I had.

Cheryl was the perfect host, she stayed in communication with us throughout the entire booking and stay. The location of the cottage is great, directly across the street from the beach. Once we arrived we parked the car (parking permit included) and walked everywhere. Restaurants, shopping and entertainment are just a few blocks away. Cheryl’s recommendations for dining were spot on! She is a local and knows the area well. We were welcomed with a note and a bottle of wine, nice touch! Would definitely stay again. Matt & Jeanette.

We needed a weekend get-away and found this lovely cottage. We arrived at night and could not see the view but were pleasantly surprised the next morning. This cottage is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The owner, Cheryl, gave us several suggestions for dining. We ate breakfast at the Seahorse both mornings and it was delicious. We took several walks and shopped, visited the museum and strolled along the beach. Cheryl and Hobart were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to being able to go back one day soon. Jerry & Judy.

This beachfront unit is perfect place to get away for a few days. You can step out the front door and you're literally steps from the beach. Cheryl and Hobart's place is comfortable, charming, and functional. The views are stunning, and the sunsets are brilliant. The place is even better than pictured, and beach access is so easy - step outside, walk across the street to the boardwalk, and enjoy! We will be back!

The Gulf and the bay within steps from each other. Watch the sun rise and the sun set. Walk to restaurants, shops. Old Florida at its best. Cozy cottage with all the comforts. Thanks Cheryl!
