Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Located in the Historic Uptown neighborhood and is steps away from bars and restaurants. We are minutes away from popular wedding locations like Sunken Gardens, Vinoy etc. Take a 15 minute walk to the Vinoy waterfront, or rent bikes in the park for a quick 10 minute ride. The cutest General store, coffee shop and yoga studio are right on your doorstep situated at the park. Here you can enjoy fresh organic food and produce, a coffee, beer or wine. Stroll over to the Beer Boutique (which often ranks towards the top on yelp) for a cold beer and a bite to eat. 4th street with all its restaurants and bars is one block away. For all the Starbucks junkies the closest store is 3 blocks away on 4th. If you need groceries there is a Publix Supermarket close by and there is a larger convenience store one block away on 4th. Many of our guests come for concerts at Janice Live and often walk to the venue. Guests also use our home as a base for weddings as we can accommodate larger families and groups. We are close to Sunken Gardens, the Fine Arts Museum and the Dali Museum all of which are popular local wedding venues. We are a close to St Anthony's Hospital and our home is perfect for those attending the world famous St Anthony's Triathlon.

Me, my daughter, her friend and 5 month old daughter stayed here, and it was perfect for us. We enjoyed the outdoor patio and loved having the washer and dryer. It was walkable to many things and was easy to get an Uber. The only thing to be aware of is the steps are steep and many so the upstairs apartments are not for people who struggle with mobility. Also, need a few more dish towels in the kitchen.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom upper and didn’t hear a peep from the guests in the lower. Easily walkable for us (mid-50s) to the Vinoy and many restaurants, but located in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely recommend!
