Good water views
Nice place. We had 4th floor view's overlooking the water.
One bedroom co do was nice but needed updating. Couch was u comfortable and the bed was very uncomfotable. Had a window that only had horizontal blinds and the lights from outside hallway and parki g lot made it too bright in the room for sleeping. Need blackout curtains.

Memorial Day weekend getaway
The Boca Ciega Resort itself was very nice, but these are condominiums rented out by real estate companies. We arrived to find no front desk no check-in at the resort at all. We had to drive an additional 4 miles to the real estate office to get checked-in as well as checked out. Over all it was a good experience.

Very disappointing!
Ad on Expedia indicated free internet access. Despite that statement, no internet access was available at all at this location! We had to drive to the nearest McDonald's a few times a day to stay in touch with work and family and to research and book holiday activities.
Ad also indicated a king-size bed, which was also not available, simply a queen-size bed. These two elements significantly impacted the quality of our stay in the area.
Reservation information did not mention the fact that it was necessary to an alternate location 10-15 minutes away to obtain keys for the condo. unit. 80-90 minutes were wasted obtaining the pertinent information, which was not posted anywhere in the building, and driving over to obtain the keys.
It should also be noted that the condo was very dated and in need of a serious make-over.

Enjoyable stay.
The condo was very comfortable. I marked off on cleanliness due to the carpet needing to be cleaned. I made my reservations through Hotels.com and expected to have WiFi so was disappointed in that. I had my phone but it cost me data. Enjoyed the view of the bay, boaters & fishermen and the traffic on the bridge and could watch all from the couch - who needs TV. No noise from other units nor from the bridge traffic.

Great value
Friendly staff, nice accommodation on the water and close to many actives, shopping and restaurants. All condos have large balconies that overlook the water making for gorgeous sunset views. Not on the beach but that is not what we were looking for. Price for what you get is an excellent buy. I will go back.

Did not give all information when booked.
We could not check in at hotel. Received email saying where we could pick up the key but If you needed a late check in to contact hotel but there was no contact information and by looking up the resort number it gives you someone's personal number. Paid for a night that we couldn't even use since we were not able to get in before 5. The next day we went to where the email told us to go and they sent us to someplace completely different. If we would have known the correct place to check in we wouldn't have wasted a night on a different hotel (after driving for 2 hours to find a vacancy) I would have liked more info when booking the hotel.

Never again
No one on site to check in. Needed to call an 800 number to be told to go to a Realtor's office to get the key. Wasn't told we needed to go to a different Realtor office to return the key. Unit 112 was dirty, dingy, poorly maintained. Only thing nice about it was the view.

Boca Ciega Resort Condominiums
This condo is more of a senior complex. Very noisy with the road being so near and morning traffic going over bridge. Asked for a fourth floor condo and got first floor. It was guaranteed at reservation time.

Excellent condo and building, but isolated
The building is right on one of the intercostal waterways with lots of pretty views. The room was clean and nicely kept. There were lots of pots, pans, and cookware available; more than in other condos I have stayed in. The location was great for driving, but not for walking. It is not walking distance to any of the beaches. My only other complaint was that the bed in the master bedroom was hard and not very comfortable. My children thought the sofa bed was very comfortable.

Condo is very small and if you need anything after office hours you cannot reach anyone. They give you a number to call and no one answers. Our room was not cleaned when we got there. Not a pleasant sight when you get to see the room your about to stay in dirty from the guests before.

A little room maintaince it would have been great
The building and room were very nice. The check in was not. We had to go miles out of our way to get the keys to the room and had to take the keys back out of our way to turn our keys in. One of the chairs on the balcony was split so you could not sit in it. The bedspread had a stain on it the size of a plate. The one lamp on the livingroom table did not work and the remote for the television was carroded and did not work. The dish washer had nasty looking water laying in the bottom. With a little maintaince in the room this place would have been great. The room was clean otherwise. It was comfortable and pleasent.

More pros than cons
I loved the theme of the hotel. The view was spectacular and the surroundings were peaceful. The gentleman at the hotel was extremely pleasant. However, he was unable to help us check-in when we got there. He claimed the "office" had been closed for 2 years and he doesn't have keys to any of the units as they are all privately owned. We had to drive to a real estate office in Madeira Beach to obtain keys for the unit and then again to return the keys when we checked out. It would have been nice to know this PRIOR to paying them in advance for the stay. The bed was pretty uncomfortable (hard) and the sofa couch was too hard for my daughter to sleep on so we had to go and get an air mattress last minute. However, I have to say that the hotel itself was very clean and maintained and we would probably stay there again (air mattress and keys in hand).

Worst Ever
Left 8 messages over 5 days the week before to ask where to check in, storm impact, etc. Never received a response. On a day of arrival we called the same number and played extension roulette. Finally reached a tenant, yes a tennant. They gave us a name and phone number. Called him and he sent us to the wrong address of the property manager. Called again, got a different address and phone number. Finally found pmo, did not have our key, had to wait, finally got key, ad drove to unit 4 miles away. Front door was warped, had problems locking and opening door entire time there. air conditioner was off on arrival, temp 90 degrees, had to leave and go to mall and wait for unit to cool down.

Services and Property Amenities
I was truly disappointed with the level of service for this find resort.
Services on site none existed. The off sight service provider (TSR) only apologize for the lack of service and stated that they would advise Boca Ciega Resort Board of Directors.
I schedule this weekend trip for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I liked the web site promotion of the resort and the amenities. The lack of service for the resort did not start on sight; I had to pick up the key for the unit at another location approximately six miles away from Boca Ciega Resort. I was not given an information package about what was available and how to use it. High-speed wireless Internet access was available but the access was not readily available, I had to call TSR to get the pass word to get access to the internet. The Fitness facility had been close down by all account for over a year. I was looking forward to continuing my fitness program while on this vacation. Two outside bathrooms for the pool facility had combination locks and no one on site or off site knew the combination sequence to enter those facilities.
I liked the place and location, but I felt cheated and will not return nor recommend this resort .

Boca Ciega Resort- excellent place to stay
Condo was very comfortable and nice.
Quiet place. We watched dolphins swim by in the morning while having coffee on the balcony. My daughter liked watching the baby ducks swim by. Enjoyed our stay very much.
It would have been nice to have some toilette paper and to check out when we wanted to. Needed to check out early and waited because the office is only open 9 - 5. Waited until 9:15 then just left the keys in an envelope at the office door.
