We absolutely loved our stay!! This home felt like a hidden gem!! The private beach was incredible, with plenty of space to relax and four comfortable chairs set up perfectly to take in the gorgeous views. One of the highlights of our trip was spotting dolphins right from the beach! The kids loved playing in the sand and the ocean, which is very flat and calm here. The house itself is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully set up for both indoor and outdoor living. We especially enjoyed the large screened-in porch (no bugs!) and the big deck, which was perfect for meals and hanging out. The kitchen was well-outfitted, which made things easy. Bedrooms are roomy and the beds are quite comfortable. We traveled with our three kids (13, 11, and 8), and the beach alone kept everyone happy and entertained. The home is just 10 minutes from some truly fabulous dining and 15 minutes from pretty much all that St. Pete has to offer (more beaches, fishing, great museums, sunken gardens, biking trails, etc). Our host was a pleasure to work with and communicated quickly any time we reached out. We really appreciated the little touches like laundry detergent, shampoo, and coffee available upon our arrival. 5/5—highly recommend. We can’t wait to stay here again!!

There are not enough words for how amazing this property is and how much we enjoyed our stay! My toddler, my sister, and I accompanied my husband on a work trip. I’m usually wishing to be back home when we do this but this property felt like a vacation all on its own! The pictures online are beautiful, but It’s even better in person. Which doesn’t happen often! The live oaks as you pull in, the privacy of the house and backyard, the picturesque path lined with bamboo trees down to the private beach, the sand and palm trees overlooking the bay, the screened in porch with incredible views, and the beautiful living spaces.
We spent our mornings on the spacious screened in porch having breakfast and coffee while my toddler played. We would then spend the rest of the day at our own beach. My husband grabbed bait from the shop just up the road and we would swim while he fished until evening. We cooked most of our meals because we loved the kitchen and it had everything we needed. Homes we have rented in the past seem like the host tried to stock them but it feels like no one ever actually lived there. You can feel the history and love at this property and it has everything. It’s a short drive to downtown restaurants, the pier, and the beach. Karen was amazing to communicate with the whole trip and very quick to respond. I wish I could sit down with her and hear stories of the home and neighborhood because it is truly a gem. Can’t wait until we can return!

First - location. It's easy to get to downtown St Pete (<10 min) as well different beaches (15-30 min, depending on beach - we went to multiple ones). But there's no need to drive - it's on a private beach already, so we would get up early for sunrises or sunsets, sitting on the beach chairs and relaxing. St Pete has great restaurant and bar options, so being convenient to all these options is great.
