Excitement and relaxation all in one!

My family and I had the best time at Yaya’s home away from home! Both the condo and the host are an absolute delight! Yaya is so quick with replies, helpful tips, and concise information. You can tell that she truly wants you to enjoy your stay. The condo is walking distance from so much fun, food, and convenience. It had all of the cookware and dishes that I needed to prepare meals; perfect bedding… even the bunk beds were comfortable; and plentiful soft towels.We had the best time while in PCB, and this condo was perfect for our large family.

Love this Place!!

It was our 5th time at LTW and 3rd staying at #Yayabeachretreat. The price is always reasonable compared to other units, Yaya is wonderful to work with. She communicates with you and makes sure your stay is the best. She'll give you suggestions on restaurants, shopping and outdoor events.Check in is very easy because there is no check-in. You get your parking pass QR and security door code from Yaya and head straight to the room. I loved the new process! The unit is fantastic! She just upgraded the flooring. There is plenty of space for everyone. All the beds, pillows, sheets, towels are very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. Even a crockpot! The master bathroom has a big walk-in shower and separate tub. There has a wagon and chairs to use for the beach. My favorite spot is the private balcony. Loved having a nice AM coffee and PM cold beverage, watching the sunset over the horizon. There are several restaurants/shops within the LTW complex, plus Pineapple Willy's across the street. Access to the beach is easy and plenty of pools to enjoy. As for LTW, it has security at all entrances. Everyone is required to wear a band. It is very clean and staff was friendly. The elevators are a challenge, but once you figure out the process, it becomes easier. If you are looking for a beach trip to PCB, I high recommend Yaya's beach retreat.

Yaya’s home away from home was everything I had dreamed of and more. Spacious beautifully decorated and had everything you could want or need!! The small touches didn’t go unnoticed Yaya was a gracious host that stayed in touch to make sure everything was going well, such a sweet lady! Being a solo traveler and a woman I could not have felt safer The Lakefront Wharf is well taken care of with helpful friendly staff if you had questions. Not having a car it was nice having so many fun options within walking distance! The on-site restaurants and gifts shops were amazing. The view is absolutely gorgeous on the huge balcony it definitely turned out to be my favorite place for my morning coffee and wine in the evening to wind down and watch the breathtaking sunsets!! The white sandy beaches with the emerald ocean water is a view I will be missing and can’t wait to get back to.So hopefully I will be back next year!! I would recommend Yaya’s home to everyone you will not be disappointed I promise!Thank you Yaya for everything

Great location and view

Our trip was a little different than some. We were here to adopt are granddaughter who was scheduled for delivery the week we were there. We still wanted the beach but to also be close to the hospital. The condo was a great layout for the four adults and a two year old. We cooked in most of the time and Yaya had plenty of dishes and pots and pans which was so helpful. They also had a pack and play. Yaya was very responsive and kind. We had a few issues that were handled in a timely manor. Yaya was quick to respond to any questions or suggestions. The views are wonderful. We enjoyed having coffee on the patio everyday. We even happen to be there during the iron man competition which went right in front of us. We went in November which seems to be the time to drain and fix the pools. Sadly the kiddie pool was one of them. There was one pool that was heated that we enjoyed with the two year old so it wasn’t a total loss. It was walking distance to Walmart which was so helpful and a walk across the road to the beach which was lovely. We had a great week at Yaya’s beach house and it will always be extra special because of the memories of our new granddaughter.

Yaya’s place was a fantastic place to stay! Comfortable bedding, best sheets and best towels we’ve had at any VRBO condo! This was our first time not staying right on the beach, and being across the street. Yaya has the condo equipped with a wagon that made transporting our beach essentials to the private access walkway to the beach! Will definitely be back!

Great Property, Great Host

My family stayed at Yaya’s condo while our daughter was participating in a weeklong softball tournament, and her place was the perfect retreat and break from the daily grind. The unit was very comfortable and accommodating, also the view from the balcony is priceless. The elevators can require some patience but once you figure them out they aren’t bad.

Yaya’s Beautiful Place

We arrived late at night to a packed busy city, bustling with noise, people and attractions, not knowing exactly what to expect on our first family summer vacation in FL. We were grateful to enter Yaya’s place and feel immediately surrounded by the efficient AC and peaceful atmosphere. The apartment is spacious, beautifully decorated, and exactly as pictured in the Vrbo site. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils etc. All the beds have comfortable mattresses and pillows, so we all slept very well. We didn’t do much on our first day, but showered (nice bathrooms & towels btw!), and relaxed by the pool! The best part of our vacation was waking up everyday to a gorgeous view of the beach - Just a blessing to be able to enjoy God’s creation with a cup o’ Joe from Yaya’s balcony! As for the hostess - Yaya was on top of things: Whatever question we had, she would immediately reply. She provided us a list of family activities, with places to eat and fun things to do - always so kind and helpful. We are grateful for finding her place and having her as our hostess! Definitely would consider coming back off season to check this place out… but Yaya might be back to enjoy her beautiful place herself!
