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. For those who are attending events at Vinoy park or looking for the thrill of speed, we are close to the St Pete Indy Car Grand Prix. Our home is close enough to walk but far enough to be peaceful and quiet. For those guests who want to enjoy the fine white sand of our world class beaches, we are a short 15 minute drive to the gulf beaches or a few blocks from the beach and beach volley ball venues of Vinoy Park. Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of what St Petersburg has to offer.

Other Details to Note

This is not a cause for concern or panic and does not constitute a reason for a refund. Rest assured that all of our properties are serviced monthly by professional pest control companies to ensure the best possible experience for our guests. In fact, if you do happen to see a dead bug, it’s a good sign that the pest control is doing its job!

This property is cozy & centrally located. Communication was consistent. It was big enough for our two boys to have their own rooms. We would stay here again & would recommend to friends & family.
