Perfect!!!
We loved everything about our stay. What a gracious host. We were only there for a quick stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The host provides so many extras ... beach chairs and towels are just a couple to note. As someone who knows owners that have had things taken by guests, I believe the level to which they supply extras is truly extraordinary! My husband and I enjoyed a few local places. If you're a sports fan, Fergs is worth seeing ... interesting concept and fans representing multiple teams on a football Sunday. We would return! Met some people staying two months in similar units so this property can fit extended stays!

Perfect. Just perfect.
I have very high standards & this rental was fantastic. Clean & comfy. We enjoyed the pool, fishing of the dock, & felt safe walking to the beach. Thank you, Nancy, for being easily accessible for any questions. We saw a huge (8') dolphin while fishing of the dock, enjoyed playing the games provided, & really appreciated that there were more than enough towels when many properties skimp. We will be back!

We had a great stay! The hosts were great with communication and touched base with us during our stay to ensure everything was going well for us. The details given prior were very specific and appreciated. The cottage was definitely adorable. It was clean and comfortable with plenty of amenities. No issues with street parking and the neighborhood was very cute. Quick 15 minute drive to the beach and plenty of shopping/grocery stores nearby. We especially loved the outdoor sitting area with the table and hammock - was lovely starting the morning out there enjoying a delicious cup of coffee! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in St. Pete’s!

We had a great month long stay at Rob's tropical disco home. Everything is newly renovated and the touches are perfect for a Florida getaway. We cooked regularly in the well-appointed kitchen and took advantage of the grill in the yard. The entertainment options were also excellent, with new large screen TVs and lots of streaming options. We loved the tropical disco room, where we could relax and even listen to some old vinyl LPs. The yard is just the right size and the heated pool was a welcome end (and beginning and middle) to every day. Best of all, the location can't be beat. Minutes from St. Pete beach, Gulfport shops and downtown St. Pete. And plenty of shopping options nearby. We also loved that we were just a short walk or bike ride from the Pinellas trail, which we used nearly every day. And Rob was responsive and friendly and handled everything quickly and effectively. We have already recommended the home to friends and family and would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at Susy’s place. It was very clean and comfortable and even smelled great! The neighborhood is very peaceful, and it is in between downtown St Pete and the beaches. It was easy to get around either by car or Uber. The pool and hot tub were really great as well. I would definitely stay there again. Susy was an excellent host and responded quickly every time I had a question for her. The house had all the amenities that we needed for the month. It was Football season and we wanted to watch playoff games; The big screen TV was wonderful! I was able to cook meals with no problem as the kitchen was well stocked. She had a very nice gift basket for us upon arrival as well as music playing. It was just such a great experience!

The house is so lovely and fresh inside. Christin has done a wonderful job with décor and linens. The living area is spacious and the game room in the alcove off of the living room is such a nice addition. I could see a family with children putting that to great use. The bathrooms have wonderfully spacious walk in showers and plenty of thick towels available. Large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided. The pool area was delightful and was cleaned once a week while we were there and the yard was maintained once a week as well. The outside table and chairs by the pool was our favorite place to eat in the evenings and a favorite morning coffee area. The Wi-Fi worked well and is secure. My husband was able to work with no trouble. All the appliances are new and worked great. The washer and dryer are large capacity and served us well. Honestly, I could go on and on but I haven't been given enough characters! I highly recommend this beautiful house.

This house is exactly as described. My family and I had a great time enjoying the home. They literally had everything stocked right down to laundry detergent. The beach chairs and cooler were great as I did not have to buy beach chairs while visiting St. Pete Beach. Plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were spotless. House came stocked with plenty of bath towels, wash clothes and hand towels as well as a few beach towels. St. Pete Beach is about a 15-20 minute drive. We were in town for my son's travel baseball tournament and on the go the whole week we stayed. You do have to drive to most places such as beach, shops and restaurants but the house is centrally located so this was not a problem. I have teenage kids and was hoping they could walk to different places but this was not possible as the house is located on a busy street. Our host was very responsive and answered all of my questions and concerns immediately.

Five stars all around for our two-week stay! One of the best Airbnbs in St. Petersburg, with a fantastic central location and an amazing host.

Walkable to restaurants and 4th Street shops, with the waterfront, museums, and beaches just a short drive away.

The large enclosed backyard is pet-friendly and dreamy at night with its tall trees. Niko is the perfect host with instant replies and made our stay completely seamless. Ideal for couples or remote workers looking for a quiet, well-equipped, centrally located St. Pete base.
