Description of the Isla Del Sol vacation condo rental

Large (1100 sq ft plus balcony), two bedroom (split plan), two bath, waterfront condo located on idyllic Isla Del Sol in St. Petersburg, Florida, adjacent to Tierra Verde. Renters have full access to all resort amenities. An elevator provides direct access from the covered parking areas to the unit.

This unit is our second home and is maintained in pristine condition. It has all new kitchen appliances, a new washer/dryer, new heat/central air, new water heater, new bath fixtures, new paint, two new LR chairs, and new frieze carpet. The color scheme is based on 3 shades of green, accented by black marble floor tile and black/green countertops.

Relax on our spacious fourth floor balcony overlooking northern Boca Ciega Bay and enjoy both the water view as well as the downtown St. Petersburg lights at night. During the day kayak or canoe through the many nearby bays and tidal flats, fish from the multitude of local piers and bridges, bicycle to the beaches, or watch for the many species of migratory birds and resident shorebirds in the area and at the world renowned Fort DeSoto County Park, part of the Florida Birding Trail.

Isla Del Sol (Island of the Sun) is ideally located within 2 miles of St. Petersburg Beach on the Gulf of Mexico, 4 miles from Fort DeSoto Park, the #1 ranked beach in the US in 2005, 5 minutes from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays stadium, 5 minutes from the Sunshine Skyway, and 10-15 minutes from the museums, upscale shopping, pier, restaurants, parks, and outdoor concerts and activities that characterize downtown St. Petersburg. The Tampa cruise ship terminal, aquarium, Tampa Bay Lightning and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
stadiums, and Tampa International airport are all within a 20-30 minute drive. Other nearby activities or sights include the Don Cesar beach hotel and resort, parasailing, golf, watercraft rental, kayaking, biking, charter fishing or diving, and boat tours. Nearby theme parks and zoos include Lowry Park (35 minutes), Busch Gardens and Adventure Island (40 minutes), Disneyworld and Epcot (90
minutes), and Universal Studios (2 hours).

Birders will appreciate the local shorebird populations and the unit's easy access to Fort Desoto Park, a major stopover of the North Atlantic Flyway. In addition to year-round resident shorebirds, the months of April and October offer the birder a variety of sighting opportunities of non-resident species. Shorebirds commonly sighted include Long-billed Curlews, Oystercatchers, plovers, sandpipers, Willets, Marbled Godwits, White-morph Reddish Egret, normal Reddish Egrets, Osprey, Brown and White Pelicans, Cormorants, Anhinga, nearly every species of wading birds,
terns, and gulls. Migration brings in raptors, waterfowl, wood-warblers, kingfishers, vireos, tanagers, and others. If you are lucky you may encounter a rarity such as a Grove-billed Ani, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, or Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Additionally, there are a number of excellent local and day-trip birding locations as outlined in the Central Florida Birding Trail guidebook we provide for all birders.

 Excellent Location, August 25, 2008

By Richard (Atlanta, Georgia)

This is a very clean, cute, and comfortable condo. The location was in my opinion excellent...great views of the bay and St. Petersburg and St. Pete Beach. The condo gets the morning sun and that is good time to be on the balcony. It is away from all the tourists and within easy driving of everything.

We just got back from renting this condo for 5 weeks and it was wonderful. Not only was the condo superb but the owners were very accomodating and included a great book of information. The facilities were great and the other people at the pool etc. were friendly and helpful. We will return again.
