Top-Floor Corner 2BR/2BA Condo Overlooking the Beach at Bahia Vista, Isla del Sol — St. Petersburg, FL Vacation Rental

Top floor, corner position, and sand directly below the balcony rail — this fully renovated Bahia Vista condo claims one of the best vantage points on Isla del Sol. The Intracoastal Waterway stretches toward the Bayway bridge below, with dolphins, sailboats, and wading birds passing all day. Located on the island community at St. Petersburg's southern tip, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation rental suits a Gulf beaches family trip, a couples' getaway, or a season-long winter stay near St. Pete Beach.

The renovated kitchen pairs white shaker cabinetry with an ocean-blue glass-tile backsplash, stainless appliances — smooth-top range, microwave, dishwasher, French-door refrigerator — and a breakfast bar with stool seating. A dining table seats the whole crew, wide-plank flooring runs throughout, and two leather reclining sofas face a large wall-mounted TV. Plantation shutters and wireless internet complete the setup — just bring flip flops.

Both bathrooms are fully updated with walk-in glass showers: the primary adds a double-sink quartz vanity, the guest bath marble-look tile. The primary bedroom faces the water and bridge through corner windows, with its own wall-mounted TV; the second bedroom offers a full-size bed, mirrored closet wall, and plantation shutters.

The covered balcony hangs right over the beach — keep the camera close for sunset and let the Intracoastal's boat traffic do the entertaining. Around the island, 350 acres of tropical grounds, royal palms, ponds, and waterways connect via walking, jogging, and biking paths, framed by Mediterranean-style architecture.

The Gulf's warm turquoise water is minutes away at St. Pete Beach and Fort De Soto Park, home to renowned North Beach. Add fishing charters, sunset cruises, waterfront dining, and downtown St. Petersburg's nightlife to fill out the trip.
