The Neighborhood

St. PETERSBURG, FL — It’s official: St. Petersburg is one of the top destinations for travelers in the United States, according to Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best Destinations list for 2024.

St. Pete nabbed the No. 2. spot on the list of top 15 destinations.

“The sun almost always shines on St. Petersburg, the ‘Sunshine City’ that enjoys an average of 361 days of clear skies per year. Combine that with 244 miles of glimmering coastline along Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, Boca Ciega Bay and the intra coastal waterways and you have one hot beach destination,” Tripadvisor's listing for the city said. “Catch the sun, surf and sand at Fort De Soto Park, or take a hike, bike ride up the 37-mile Pinellas Trail. Enjoy a (Tampa Bay) Rays game during baseball season or escape to the shady oasis of the Sunken Gardens a few minutes walk.” The Palm Arbor Suite is situated in the fabulous and Historic Old Northeast. The ONE as some call it. It is but a few blocks and a few minutes walk to eateries, cafes, taverns, cinema, Sundial shopping center, Tampa bay beach, The piers Spa beach, waterfront parks, bayside municipal pool, the Vinoy and the eclectic vibe of downtown St. Pete.
Most residents are on a high living in the Old Northeast, loving the community and its close proximity to our thriving downtown.

This quiet residential neighborhood with historic homes is the opposite of the happening downtown scene, which might just be just one of its appeals. Those discovering this area, largely through word of mouth, say they love its sense of community while relishing the easy access to downtown. With its eclectic architecture, brick streets, picket fences and lush foliage, the neighborhood offers an odd blend of New England style and tropical sensibility. Despite its residential nature, it is just north of St. Petersburg’s downtown, making it convenient to the city’s booming cultural and entertainment scene. It also offers easy access for out-of-towners, since it is just 20 minutes from Tampa International Airport.

Guest Access

Check in time 2:pm and Check Out time 10:30 am. Guests will have access to private off street parking, private patios, beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and use of free washer and dryer in laundry room.
This suite in general is a self sufficient apartment furnished with cleaning products, broom, mop, and vacuum.
Cleaning services are available for an additional fee for stays over 1 week upon request.

Interaction with Guests
This is your Vacation Getaway and as such it also deserves your own personal privacy and personal space.

Getting around

Quaint open-air trolleys and buses are available and within walking distance.
Bus services are available and can be accessed just a few blocks away. Rent bikes, nearby and at bike shops or scooters at the outdoor city locations all in and around the city.
Palm Arbor Suite is a twenty minute drive from Tampa International airport.
The city of St. Petersburg has long been known for its scenic bayfront and renowned art museums. In recent years, St. Pete has also emerged as a hot spot for shopping, art museums, dining, nightlife and entertainment. With 361 days of sunshine a year, a lively downtown area, and a full spectrum of things to see and do you will be enthralled.

Downtown St. Petersburg: Arts, Culture & Entertainment

A hub for art and culture, downtown St. Pete is home to many notable fine art museums and galleries. The iconic Dali Museum displays artwork by the influential 20th-century surrealist Salvador Dali in a stunning building with a flowing geodesic dome known as the “Enigma.” Just down the street, the Chihuly Collection presented by Morean Arts Center features some of the most brilliant and intricate creations of famous glass artist Dale Chihuly. The collections in the Museum of Fine Arts showcase works by Monet, Gauguin, Renoir, O’Keeffe and many other beloved 18th- and 19th-century painters. Galleries lining the Central Avenue corridor include the Craftsman House Gallery, Crislip Arcade, ARTpool and the Morean Arts Center.

The Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts - Mahaffey Theater hosts major shows and entertainers. Built in 1925, the Palladium Theater is a performing arts venue that is intimate and majestic. The theater’s 880-seat Hough Concert Hall boasts a full-sized Skinner pipe organ. In addition, the American Stage Theatre Company, Freefall Theatre Company and Florida Orchestra are all located in downtown St. Pete. The St. Pete area is brimming with culture of all sorts. To read more, go online at I Love the Burg!

St. Pete Dining and Nightlife

Downtown St. Pete offers a diverse range of restaurants, from upscale award-winning Chefs to the casually trendy and innovative Red Mesa Cantina. Dine outside on the scenic Beach Drive promenade at Cassis American Brasserie, Bella Brava New World Trattoria, Moon Under Water or 400 Beach Seafood & Tap
The beaches of St. Petersburg and nearby Clearwater are consistently ranked among the best in the U.S. and even the world, but there's more to this destination than white sand, pristine waters, and 361 days of sunshine per year. St. Pete/Clearwater offers more than 30 museums and galleries featuring world-renowned artists like Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso, as well as the largest collection of Salvador Dalí's work outside of Spain. One could say brewing the perfect beer is also an artform that St. Pete/Clearwater has mastered, with its trail of 35+ locally owned craft breweries. Playfully nicknamed the "Gulp Coast”.
The Canopy lounge comes complete with private cabanas and fire pits and one of the best waterfront and city skyline views

It’s Like Coming Home!

We stayed at this welcoming guest cottage several years ago when Richard was beginning his journey as a VRBO host. The high standards of cleanliness, comfort, and beauty he provides to his guests are still evident in 2025 as they were so long ago. The location in old northeast is walkable to so many exceptional restaurants, museums, and one of the most beautiful walks along the water in Florida. We cannot wait to return!

Beautiful, Comfy, Well stocked, Close to everything!

Palm Arbor Suite is a very nicely decorated modern space. It has everything you need for cooking in the kitchen if you wish to stay in and is close to many great restaurants if you’d rather dine out. The neighborhood is beautiful and is within walking distance to the beach. The front patio is filled with many beautiful lush tropical plants and has a table and chairs for two which we enjoyed every evening with a glass of wine and coffee in the morning. The bed was super comfy and the shower was nice and hot. We had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to rent again!

Wonderful Stay

This vacation rental was just perfect for me in so many ways. Cozy and comfortable, Richard thought of everything to make the stay feel like home. A bottle of wine with many different snacks greeted me when I first entered this adorable cottage. The bed is super comfortable and the kitchen is supplied with everything you can think of to make a meal. Staying in this area is great for easy access to the beaches and city of St. Pete. There is so much to see in this wonderful area and I loved being able to walk to the parks ,waterfront, and shops on Beach drive. Hoping to return again next year.

We had a great stay!! Richard (the owner) was wonderful and easy to coordinate with, and the well-appointed apartment was clean and very charming! They also added several welcoming touches - snacks, a bottle of wine, antibacterial wipes and sanitizer (in the time of covid!), Etc.

Home from home

Quiet residential location down cobbled street, close to coffee shops and restaurants and also walking distance to the bay and pier. It is not the 'bare minimum' type of accommodation you would normally visit, but very homely and decorated with ornaments and nice touches that remind you of home. Being a small unit there is a shortage of space for belongings, such as in the bathroom, but the homely feel more than makes up for this.

A Charming Retreat

We had the most incredible stay at the Palm Arbor Suite. The apartment was quaint and cozy, meticulously clean and very well-decorated. Richard provided everything we needed for our nine-day stay and was so friendly and helpful. The property is just beautiful; a tropical oasis, so close to downtown. The neighborhood is very walkable, full of gorgeous historical homes with such a variety of architectural styles; near many restaurants and parks and only a few blocks to the water. It was a perfect spot to wait for the birth of our first grandson, and visit our family in St. Pete, Tampa and Sarasota. We hope to return very soon.

Dream vacation! We had a wonderful time, but only were able to do half of what we wanted to do.

This vacation home was all that they said it would be and more. Richard and Tom both were so helpful with anything we asked about or wanted. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you wanted for cooking. Very clean and quiet and with in walking distance of entertainment, eating out and shopping. Very quiet neighborhood and anybody we did meet was very friendly. We did a lot of shell hunting and shark tooth searching and were very lucky with both. Parasailing was awesome as well as our fishing trip at which we were lucky enough with the fishing we were able to share with the home owners. It was with a heavy heart we only were able to stay 14 days. But we will be back.

Great Suite close to all the action in St Pete‼️

Palm Arbor Deluxe is a fabulous place to stay while enjoying all St Pete has to offer. The pictures show exactly what you will get when you check into this fabulous, well thought out, everything you could possibly need one bedroom, fully stocked kitchen, lovely living area and bathroom suite. There is even a washer and dryer on the premises. We could walk into town and all the action in about 10-15 minutes. Every morning we would take a walk along Tampa Bay or Crescent Lake Park which is nearby. There are fabulous restaurants, parks, museums and everything else in St. Petersburg. We have been coming here for years and hope to one day make it our home. I highly recommend Palm Arbor Suite as a place to stay comfortably and explore this amazing city. Thank you Richard and Tom for your thoughtfulness and hospitality.

Relaxing Getaway

From the moment my mom and I walked in we both instantly felt relaxed. It was a hot day and there were two cold water bottles waiting for us. You can tell every detail through out the home was done with the guest in mind. Richard was on his own much needed vacation but it didn’t stop him from sending a text the day prior and another one checking in mid week. His property manager Peter came and introduced himself the moment we settled in. He was super nice and made sure we were comfortable. Now the location is just amazing. It’s within a quaint historic neighborhood close to downtown St. Pete. I am originally from the area and I come home often to visit family and friends. I now have my go to place. A big thank you to Richard and Peter!

Home away from home

I was in the St. Pete area for business for about a month, and Richard and Tom's place was a perfect home away from home. The one-bedroom little home has everything needed for a comfortable stay. A completely stocked kitchen, laundry, ironing board, blow dryer, wifi, cable TV, linens, soaps, literally every detail is thought of. They are excellent hosts, relying on the guest to determine the amount of interaction. The house has a couple outdoor seating areas to enjoy if the weather allows. The Old Northeast neighborhood is a highly sought-after location and Richard and Tom's place represents the neighborhood perfectly. It is a short walking distance away from all that downtown St. Pete has to offer, and within driving distance to the beaches, Tampa, shopping and more. Thank you guys for creating this gem in St. Pete. I look forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Richard Miller

Host profile image
Welcome to about me. I was born, raised and educated in New York and have resided in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island. Throughout my career I have had the pleasure of always dealing with the public. With a new college degree in horticulture in hand , I opened and owned a chain of three Florist / Garden Centers for 11 years. I have always loved the earth and the bounty of beauty it provides in nature. Entering the airline travel business, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States for 20 years. As a travel professional, I had the opportunity in meeting people from all over the globe and assisting them with any number of requests and needs. After discovering St. Petersburg over 35 years ago, I witnessed many wonderful changes. Now I am thrilled to call the city of St. Petersburg my home. My spouse and I over several years have acquired, improved and beautified some rental properties. I do hope to have the opportunity of having you as our Guests and to ensure your stay is as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. You will find everything you need in our Suites. Every attention to detail has been taken to ensure your stay is "above and beyond" the rest. Welcome to St. Pete

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property due to its charm and close proximity to the beaches and downtown. The Old Northeast is a lovely area of older Bungalows and estates. Next to my architecturally sweet craftsman bungalow, sits my triplex building where the Palm Arbor Suite is housed. Both buildings either have porches, balconies or front patios which is in keeping to our neighborhood, where you can spend time reading, people watching or chatting with neighbors and friends. The buildings have been renovated extensively but they have kept their original charm I fell in love with.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to downtown and all which St. Petersburg has to offer. A kitchen you won't find in any other rental at this price. An ideal location for everything the area has to offer. Having patios and off street parking is a pleasure for our guests.
