RATING FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS

"Hi !:

Apologies for the delay; we hit the ground running when we got back to the UK. We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay! The apartment was absolutely perfect and every little detail made the stay that much more perfect. (I used the yoga mat a few times, sunscreen too, and the welcome basket was delicious!) The whole place is so clean, so cozy and the decor is so cool and modern (the lamp with the USB charger is great!) We cook a lot as well so having everything to do so in the kitchen was excellent.

Seeing your pups outside was a nice bonus as well; I always miss our big boy when we're away so I definitely said hello to your sweethearts a few times. :)

All of the info for the house and the city was a great touch and than you for having laundry available 24/7. So helpful! We'll definitely recommend you if we know of anyone coming to visit the area.Thank you for being an incredible hostess and for having such a great place; it made our visit to St. Pete so chill and relaxing!

Best,
Lindsay and John Kingston


Hello!
The Lucky Dog Inn is amazing!!!! Host has done an incredible job of decorating and thinking of everything that will make your stay extremely comfortable. I have had the opportunity to stay twice, once a shorter stay and one extended. It truly is home away from home. I made many dinners and everything I needed was in the small/beautiful and well appointed kitchen. I work from home and worked each day at the cottage with no concerns. The location is fabulous and I rarely got in the car. The beach cruiser bikes are awesome and provide transportation anywhere you want to go.Host is available day and night for any questions you might have about the area.They are very gracious hosts. I highly recommend Lucky Dog Inn if you are lucky enough to be in downtown St Pete.

Wonderful Host!
I’ve been using vrbo for a very long time but never had the inclination to add a comment but I think Kelly deserves one, she is a wonderful host!!!!, excellent at communicating. Her place is cozy, nice and clean, you don’t need to bring anything except your clothes/swim suit 😀, she got it all for you from kitchen to bathroom essentials. Location is perfect. Highly recommended! We will be back! Thanks Kelly

Fabulous stay as always!
This was at least our 3rd stay at the Lucky Dog Inn. Kelly is fabulous, easy to reach, and concerned about the quality of the stay. The location is great and we walked to all the fun and wonderful things in downtown St Pete. We love this property and will certainly plan to stay again.

What an awesome stay! From the moment we arrived we knew we had made a great decision. The location was perfect, the hosts were fabulous, and the amenities were everything we needed. No complaints. Very nice neighborhood where you can walk around and enjoy shopping and eating. The pier is a 10 min walk away with so much to see and do. We would love to stay here again when back in town.

This is a MUST if you’re in St. Petersburg
The cutest little cottage with all the necessities & then some. Kelly was a phenomenal host that left us banana bread, wine/beer, and almond creamer upon arrival just to make us feel welcome & at home. John is the property manager that takes care of any & every need. Both communicated very well & are HUGE dog lovers!! As are we! 🐾 They were extremely accommodating to our fur babies. We highly recommend staying here. If you don’t, it’s your loss! We’ll be back! Thank you, Kelly & John. Mahalo & Aloha!!! 🌺

Cozy ,comfy home away from home.
This little place is a gem. Its everything I was looking for during my stay--- super convenient location, all the comforts of home, and a safe area with privacy. The owner, Kelly, lives in another part of the the property which was totally separate but readily available if I needed anything. She made me feel most welcomed with special touches throughout the house. I highly recommend The Lucky Dog little inn for solo travelers.

Would rate it 10 stars if we could!
The small cottage in the Historic Northeast neighborhood met all our expectations and more. It was impeccably clean, stocked with everything you could possibly need, and had high quality comfortable up to date furnishings. We were greeted on arrival with home made banana bread and our favorite bottle of wine. Kelly and John were extremely friendly and helpful but yet respected our privacy. The neighborhood is awesome. Coffee shops and restaurants and beaches in walking distance. We loved it so much that we reserved the same time next year. Our dog Koda enjoyed it as much as we did.

Amazing stay and fantastic location!
We drove down Christmas day and were pleasantly surprised how wonderfuly we were welcomed. The house was easy to find and we had a guarunteed parking spot for the duration of our stay. All the necessities were available including butter! Which i forgot to pack to make our christmas dinner meal. We had ample hot water and water pressure our entire stay. Cannot tell you how wonderful this is! Bed was remarkably comfortable and we slept well. We went on daily walks to Vinoy park which was the perfect length for a walk. Location is PERFECT... walking distance to places to eat and even CVS. Downtown was a 6 min Uber ride away. I could go on and on about how lovely our stay was but can sum it up with the fact that we will be back. Great communication with host. Thank you for making our annual Christmas migration trip special.

The Lucky Dog
We stayed at the Lucky Dog for 29 nights. It was a wonderful place to call home during this time. The Lucky Dog is everything as advertised. Kelly was the perfect host making sure we never wanted for anything. We we're welcomed on day one with fresh baked banana bread and for Thanksgiving a homemade apple pie. John, her right hand man was excellent and such a pleasure to talk with. When we return to St Pete's our first task will be to book the Lucky Dog. Wes and Pat

Wonderful as always
This is at least our 3rd stay at this property. My husband and I and our dog stayed for a week. It is a fabulous location. We love walking to all the wonderful things in downtown St Petersburg, including restaurants, Saturday morning market, or just walking along the beautiful bay and beach. The property is adorable, clean, and well-appointed. We had everything we could possibly need. Kelly and John are fabulous. They are friendly without infringing on your privacy, but you know they are there and would help with anything if you need it. Kelly is very generous with her time and information. I have stayed at many VRBOs but this place has the best communication of all of them. We HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this property. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood with a great parking spot in the driveway. You will not be disappointed.

Cozy & Welcoming
My wife and I stayed here as one of us was having a surgery in the area and we needed a comfortable place to promote healing and relaxation. The place was immaculant, cozy, welcoming and equipped with everything you may need. When we arrived there was a bottle of presseco in the fridge and freshly baked banana bread waiting for us. Kelly was available if we needed anything and was flexible when we needed to extend our stay due to post op follow up visits. If that isnt enough the location is prime and just a short walk away to downtown with a variety of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Oh, and if you love pups they're right next door for some puppy therapy. We absolutely loved everything about our stay and look forward to our next trip! Thank you Kelly, your hospitality was appreciated!

My husband and I are senior citizens. The property could easily be more safe for those our age if throw rugs were removed. We did fold them up and placed them against the wall. It is all very attractive but too many makes it hazardous.

Convenient, Charming Cottage
Everything about Kelly is awesome! It’s obvious that it’s important to her that her guests are comfortable and enjoy their time spent there. John is always happy to help if there is anything additional that you need. The location is wonderful, a reasonably short walk to many fabulous dog-friendly restaurants. It's the kind of neighborhood that I would be delighted to call home. To really enjoy the sand between your toes requires a drive but plenty of beaches to check out, some of which are dog friendly. I plan to return, looking forward to it. Thank you for a fabulous few weeks!

First Trip Ever To St. Petersburg, FL
What a wonderful time we had a "The Lucky Dog Inn". We just loved this cottage. We were here for the Tampa Bay Bluesfest and It was just perfect! Great location! Loved the front porch and the layout of the cottage. It had everything you needed. The kitchen is small but very well stocked. The bed was very comfortable and so was the rest of the furniture. We can't say enough about it. Kelly and John were great and so helpful! They were there if you needed anything or just to visit. We hope that one day we can return.

Clean, comfy, cozy, and very well-appointed.
We felt like this little cottage was our very own fabulous home in the middle of one of the best neighborhoods in St. Pete! We could easily walk to the park, bay, pier, dog-park, and lots of shops and restaurants. Our dog was perfectly comfortable here in every way as well. Kelly and John were friendly, readily available, and extremely accommodating. We honestly can’t say one negative thing about this place or our experience here. (We had no interest in cooking while on vacation, but if you do that could be somewhat problematic as the kitchen is small - pretty and brand new and well stocked, but very small.) It was lovely simply sitting on the porch and talking with all of the nice neighbors and other dog-lovers (tons!!) who would wander by. And if you’re into architecture and looking at houses - we especially loved the mid-century-modern vibes - this is a great neighborhood and town to explore!

Little piece of heaven….
So I have been booking places to stay thru VRBO for a VERY long time and I can tell you that Lucky Dog Inn is by far my favorite place that I have ever stayed!! This amazing little gem is absolutely everything you could hope for and more. First off, Kelly the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with. Right from the start, I felt like I was talking with an old friend. She was so helpful and answered all of my questions. She is an absolute sweetheart!! Her assistant John is onsite as well and was so fun to talk with and very helpful and kind! The house itself was decorated so nicely and instantly felt like “home”. You can tell that Kelly takes a lot of pride in making it as nice as possible for her guests. Upon arrival, we walked in to find candles lit, music playing and some amazing goodies that had been left for us. When I tell you this house has everything you need, I mean everything! After a very long car ride getting there from Atlanta, I was achy and sore and in desperate need of some ibuprofen, which I had forgotten to bring. However all I had to do was open the closet and there it was! Also the next morning, as I sat on the amazing front porch drinking my coffee, the mosquitoes starting getting me (they always find me. Haha) but I opened the drawer of the table on the porch and there was bug spray! Kelly really has thought of everything you might need!! The location of the house is also perfect!! It is a very short walk to stores, some amazing restaurants and coffee shops. Also downtown St. Petersburg is a short walk away with even more amazing places to eat and things to do. We literally parked our car in the driveway the first day and didn’t use it again until the day we left. It’s a beautiful neighborhood with so much to do and see! Do yourself a favor and book a stay at the Lucky Dog Inn! We will DEFINITELY be returning!!! ❤️❤️❤️
