About this apartment rental

*ANOTHER PORCH SWING BOUTIQUE HOME RENTAL PROPERTY*

Bright, playful second-floor loft apartment with windows on all sides. Professionally designed to appear larger than its' 360 square feet. Totally furnished with wi-fi, cable TV, linens and kitchen package. Living area, sleeping area with built-ins for shorts and shirts. Lovely kitchen with washer/dryer tucked under counter. Enter through a private courtyard with an abundance of flowers

Stay as a guest at Little Pearl and capture the coziness of a “tiny home" and the airiness of a "tree house". This charming loft apartment is located on sophisticated Beach Drive, the road that leads into the heart of town. It is in an area of grand homes, tree-lined streets and best of all . . . sparkling Tampa Bay is less than a block away. Many of our guests have enjoyed rising early to photograph the stunning sun rises at the end of the street.

From this location,​ you can easily walk to festivals in the park and even downtown. It is about 20 minutes to the Vinoy on foot. About 5 minutes by car and somewhere in between by bike. (We have bike storage on site and there are many bike shops that will rent them by the day and week.) About four houses down, pick up the waterfront path to town or stroll through a neighborhood of historic craftsmen and Mediterranean style homes.

The entry to Little Pearl is through a pair of antique verdegris gates and under a bougainvillea covered arbor. An​ old hex block patio is lined with colorful Mexican pots and flower boxes. Garden bench and chairs with small table provide outdoor seating. Follow the private outdoor stairs to the entry deck and door.

This unit has been described by others as "too stinkin’ cute". And it is. With multiple windows,​ you see the old homes framed through the fronds of cabbage and coconut palms. The small foyer with closet for hanging opens to a unique bathroom (with shower) on the right. The funky vanity is from the South/West part of the country. An antique mirror from a local French flea market hangs above. The owner rescued three glass transoms from an old home. One is over the bathroom door and the other two are embellishments between the kitchen and bathroom. Adds extra light and character. On the left of the foyer is the sleeping area with a queen size bed. The antique headboard with decorative spool spindles has been painted in a McKinsey Childs-fashion with lots of patterns and color.

In the living room, the carpenter built a curio cabinet using arched top doors from Europe. Below is a colorful shelf made from old tin ceiling tiles. A cool shell mirror hangs on the wall. Grass rug completes the coastal look of the room. Like all open floor plans,​ you see right into the kitchen. Small, but completely equipped with a farm style sink and white square tiled counters trimmed in oak. Overhead ceiling fans add to the ambiance​. The new washer/dryer is seamlessly tucked under the kitchen peninsula eating counter. Overhead is a new 40” wall mounted smart TV strategically placed. You can watch TV from the bed, the living room and the kitchen.

Little Pearl is in a perfect location to explore all St. Petersburg has to offer. Being in a quiet high-end​ residential area away from city noises and next to grassy waterfront parks will make your stay that much more relaxing.

Please note, at this property we only accept a single small well behaved dog. The pet fee is $100.

We had another wonderful stay at Little Pearl. It was as cozy and comfortable like the first time. We love the fact that it is within walking distance to the waterfront, the park, restaurants, the aquatic pool, and the Saturday farmer's market. It was also close to several supermarkets that we like (Trader joe's, Publix, Fresh Market, Rolling Oats). The apartment is outfitted with a washer/dryer, which is a huge help especially for long-term stays. And best of all, Ann (owner) and Percy (the dog) are such welcoming hosts! We loved our stay so much that we already booked for 2025!

My husband and I have been coming to St. Pete for 8 years now and stay for a month. For a studio apartment, it is incredibly cozy, comfortable, bright & airy, and well-equipped with all the essentials. It even has a washer/dryer, which is a must for long-term stays. What made our month-long stay at Little Pearl truly RELAXING was that 1) it was very clean; 2) its "beach" decor/ambiance was not only pleasing but also lovingly and meticulously put together; 3) it has a porch - small but sufficient - where you can get some sun in the morning or have drinks in the afternoon; 4) it's a leisurely walk to the park/beach/Pier/farmer's market/cafes (so we hardly used our rental car); and 5) it's particularly conducive for "work from home", which I had to do on this trip. But, more importantly, what made our stay MEMORABLE was Ann, our landlady. Our interaction with her was so easy; she responds promptly & professionally. And she was warm, generous, outgoing, down-to-earth, and so accommodating with all our little requests. And lastly, she was genuinely welcoming, and so was Percy, her adorable dog. We would come and stay at Little Pearl anytime!!! :)
