Awesome Fun Filled Vacstion!

The house was beautiful! Anything you can think of, they had. My children and granddaughter loved the pool! We relaxed, ate to much, drank to much, and enjoyed every moment of our time there. We ate at Crabby’s On the Pass, it’s one of our favorites. Right on the water, beautiful sunsets and dolphins jumping in the water. We were 💯 more than happy with our stay. Nan was great at communicating. Thank you for a wonderful first family vacation!

Perfect Spring Break

We absolutely loved staying in this VRBO home! From the moment we moved in, we felt comfortable and at ease. The house was sparkling clean and very well-organized, which made unpacking a breeze. It was also stocked with all the essentials you could need to get settled in right away - things like paper towels, toilet paper, and dish soap - which was a lifesaver during those first few busy days. One of the highlights for sure was the heated pool! It was such a treat to be able to take a dip and relax. The owner even provided pool floats and toys, which was a nice touch. Speaking of the owner, communication throughout our stay was fantastic. They were always prompt and responsive to any questions we had, and they were very accommodating. They also left a comprehensive welcome binder with clear instructions for all the appliances and house rules, which was really helpful. Overall, this rental home was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped place to stay.

Family Fun in Paradise

Perfect house with so many extras. The owners have thought of everything. We enjoyed many hours out beside the screened in pool. The house is well stocked and so very comfortable. We loved the location - close to the beach and the museums. Biggest plus are the owners. Nan was great at communicating and answered all my questions. It felt more like we had stayed at a friend's house.

Convenient Location, Cute Beach Decor

The house is conveniently located to a variety of options (eg. shopping and beach) with a brief drive. Screened pool was a big draw for our group. Cute decorations throughout the house. Air conditioning was a problem, but owners addressed it. Ultimately, they replaced the A/C unit and provided us a partial refund as most of our late-June stay was with under performing HVAC system. I would stay here again, just not when the temps are so high the AC can’t keep up. It is a cute house and they do provide numerous extras in the garage (eg. beach toys and cooler).

This place has everything you need!

We rented this lovely home for Eckerd College graduation. Communication the owner was friendly and easy. She helped us work out some details in advance of arrival and was very accommodating on check in and check out. She went above and beyond to help us. The house is very well equipped for fun! The pool is so nice! The beds were very comfortable. They also kept food staples in the food and pantry so we didn’t have to buy things that we just needed a little of.. Best run and stocked rental I have ever experienced.

AMAZING LOCATION!

This beautiful home is just minutes away from the beach and all of the nearby attractions. We were even able to walk to the grocery store and Tiki Restaurant a couple of blocks away. Everything you need for your vacation is included in the house: from beach towels to kitchen items - you can pack light! Our family absolutely loved the heated pool and spent hours in it each day of our stay. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to enjoy beautiful St. Pete Beach and the surrounding areas.

Husband's 40th Birthday Trip

My husband and I, along with some friends, stayed here for the weekend for his birthday and what a great trip it was! The location was great, close to downtown, gulfport and the beach. The neighborhood is lovely. Our best friends actually live walking distance, in the same neighborhood. The house itself was perfect. Beautiful kitchen and dining room, plenty of space for all of us to enjoy a great dinner together. The pool was great and the outdoor area was spacious. Again plenty of seating and space for everyone. And the hosts had so many nice touches, it really felt like a home away from home. They were so quick to contact and keep in touch us with us. We had zero issues but it was nice knowing they were readily available. We will definitely be staying here again for another friend trip. Thank you so much for a great weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Nan Thomas and Lauri Armstrong

Our large Colorado family loves to travel and has been visiting Florida since the 1970s. St. Petersburg holds a special place in our hearts, as we began coming here regularly in the early 2000's when one of the kids started at Eckerd College. It has been our dream to own property in St. Pete for over 10 years now. When we brought our niece down to start college at Eckerd in 2015, this dream came true! Please share in our love of FL by staying at our dream home when you visit.

Why they chose this property

We invite you to gather in our newly renovated, beautiful ranch style home with a pool. Centrally located, it is ready for Eckerd College families! Minutes away from beaches, golf, trails, downtown St. Pete & Tampa with easy access from I-275. We take great pride in keeping it clean, organized, and lovingly cared for year-round.
