Great Stay walking distance to the beach!
We had a great 6-week stay at this adorable and cozy house! The backyard is absolutely stunning and so seren. There are a ton of good restaurants and bars walking distance from the house and the beach is very close to walk to as well (under a 10 min walk). The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. Rick (the owner), Kelly (the property manager) were quick to respond to us when needed and very friendly! Would definitely recommend to stay here, just one thing to callout is that one of the bedrooms doesn't have a door it's a privacy curtain, but overall it was the perfect place to visit!

Best family beach vacation EVER
The house itself is adorable. Every inch of it is literally picture-perfect and thoughtful in its design and stock to ensure your visit is care-free and enjoyable. I took so many photos while we stayed. I was with my husband and my 9 year old son and 12 year old daughter. And even our siamese cat was welcomed! We stayed for a few weeks. The house accommodates a family perfect. The master bedroom is large enough that this home would be ideal for families with infants who room-in, too. There is a small sofa in the master and plenty of for a portable crib. The second bedroom worked perfectly for our tween daughter. And there is another full bed hidden in the living room sofa! The storage in this house is amazing. The way things are so well organized and set-up makes it easy to feel at home. Most the essentials are provided and very easy to find. Everything was very thoughtful by design. No details missed. The owner welcomed us himself and the property manager was amazing and helpful. We arrived and felt immediately "home." The garden in the back is its own paradise. That's not an exaggeration. The joy of drinking my coffee in the garden is going to be sorely missed. I even enjoyed doing laundry because I got to go out back! I truly can't explain how beautiful this house is ( inside and out.) I definitely reccomend it to anyone looking for a family vacation where your kids will WANT to put their phones down and spend quality time together in a serene welcoming environment. Or even a romantic getaway with your spouse. Or both! And its true that you can walk and enjoy the best of St Pete beach just down the street. We walked to the beach and a different restruant and destination every day. It took us 4 minutes to walk to the beach. The neighbors are friendly and the neighborhood is full of houses that capture the image you hold In your mind when you daydream of the beach. This is a MUST STAY for anyone looking for a beach daydream come true.

Cozy Retreat near beach
LOVE this place! We were fortunate to spend two fantastic months at this little gem! It's in a great location on quiet street one block off the main thoroughfare, one block from the marina and three from the beach. Easy walk to popular Upham Beach, restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream palors, etc. The place itself is rather simple, in my favorite, Old Florida style. The backyard is a little sanctuary - a private, fenced and lushly landscaped retreat ideal for grilling, sunset suppers and cocktails. Another one of our favorite features of the property is the generous closet space. We were able to unpack all of clothes and still have room for suitcases and work, athletic, pet and reading materials. The property manager and owner were very responsive and on top of everything. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to others.

This property is a wonderful place to stay in St Pete Beach. Very clean and inviting. This was our third year of staying here and is a great place to stay. It was a great place for our dog too. The patio is surrounded by a privacy fence and nicely landscaped. I highly recommend this property.

St. Pete Beach stay
Great location for walks to the beach, the Corey Ave market, and restaurants. The space was clean and well-cared for. Kelly responded very quickly to help with an issue with the microwave. Although there were 2 bedrooms, it would be fine for a family but was a bit cramped for us and a friend who was travelling with us.

Road construction and baby snakes
Property was as pictured. However there was extensive road blockages and construction all around us on the street. In addition, I found small baby snakes 2 different times in the back master bedroom. Manager would not move me despite having my dog with me and caring for my new grandson. Offered to exterminate but did not as far as I know. I was afraid of what chemicals would be used to exterminate.

We were very comfortable in this two unit bungalow.
The place was just what we wanted. It was clean, within walking distance to the beach and several very nice restaurants. Our son and friend came down for a long weekend during our stay. We were glad we had two bedrooms so it was a comfortable stay for them. We didn’t have to us the sofa bed. Kelly, the manager of the property, came by to see how everything was. She even had a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. She was in the area, so if we needed anything, we didn’t have to wait. We have already booked this property for February 2019 and March 2020. Shopping for our groceries was a short distance from the bungalow too! It was nice that the backyard had a privacy fence. We used the grill several times and spent time on the patio. . The property was well kept and having the privacy fence not only around the whole property but also between the units gave us extra privacy. There were a washer and dryer for our use shared with the other unit. We loved our stay and cannot express how happy we were staying there for the month of March. Our dog was even happy staying there. The owner also stopped by. It was also nice to talk with him. He said he was going to buy new appliances for the kitchen and some other improvements. We look forward to our next stay. Thanks Kelly for everything.

Great condo just minutes walk to the beach and great seafood
This condo has everything one needs for a longer stay in St Pete Beach. First, the price is right and second, the location is fantastic. We stayed for a month and were very comfortable. Wifi works great, bed is comfy, kitchen is well stocked and there is a nice big grill out back. Although because of the location, we almost always ate out. Lots of parking and a spacious backyard for the dogs to explore. If I have to point out a negative, the bathroom is a little small, but that's really it. We had a great stay!

Fantastic house for our family of 5 (plus 2 dogs)
We were thrilled to find a house where our medium-sized dogs would be welcomed and could accommodate 2 adults and 3 kids! This house had enough room for all of us to function comfortably and was within walking distance to the beach - even has a laundry facility on site. It is in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything (grocery store, restaurant, etc). Thank you for such a great house and being so helpful when we needed anything!

Fantastic Getaway
We had two couples stay for a few nights for a getaway weekend, and loved the place. Very close to a couple beaches (which ranged from festive to semi-private). Backyard was relaxing and gave you the feel of being outside of town. Overall, had a great time and can't wait to go back.
