Villa in Isla del Sol, FL
Reasons to book
About this villa rental
From this Palma del Mar balcony, Boca Ciega Bay fills the horizon while the heated pool and spa glimmer through the palms below — a vantage point you'll claim for morning coffee and keep through sunset cocktails. This recently updated two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo on Isla del Sol, the island community at St. Petersburg's southern tip, serves a Gulf beaches family vacation, a monthly winter rental, or a low-key couples' retreat near St. Pete Beach equally well.
Water views follow you inside. The living room's leather sectional with chaise faces a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV, with the bay framed in the sliders beyond, wide-plank flooring underfoot, and wireless internet throughout. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, white raised-panel cabinetry with abundant storage, a travertine backsplash, smooth-top range, microwave, and dishwasher — fully stocked for anything from quick breakfasts to a leisurely fresh-seafood dinner at home.
The primary suite delivers the view twice over: a picture window overlooking the pool and bay plus direct balcony access through its own slider, along with a queen bed, wicker furnishings, a TV, and an updated en suite bath with granite vanity and glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The second bedroom sleeps two in twin beds with a TV of its own, beside a full bath with granite vanity and a tub/shower combination behind glass sliders.
Beyond your door, Isla del Sol's 350 acres of tropical gardens, island lakes, and royal palms host herons, egrets, and ibis along the walking and biking trails, all wrapped in the island's Mediterranean character.
A short drive down the Bayway, Fort De Soto Park offers kayak rentals, the Egmont Key ferry, and North Beach — one of America's top-rated. Fresh-seafood restaurants, coastal boutiques, fishing charters, golf, sunset cruises, and downtown St. Petersburg complete the lineup.
