Located in the Historic Uptown neighborhood and is steps away from bars and restaurants. We are minutes away from popular wedding locations like Sunken Gardens, Vinoy etc.

Take a 15 minute walk to the Vinoy waterfront, or rent bikes in the park for a quick 10 minute ride. The cutest General store, coffee shop and yoga studio are right on your doorstep situated at the park. Here you can enjoy fresh organic food and produce, a coffee, beer or wine. Stroll over to the Beer Boutique (which often ranks towards the top on yelp) for a cold beer and a bite to eat.
4th street with all its restaurants and bars is one block away. For all the Starbucks junkies the closest store is 3 blocks away on 4th. If you need groceries there is a Publix Supermarket close by and there is a larger convenience store one block away on 4th.

Many of our guests come for concerts at Janice Live and often walk to the venue. Guests also use our home as a base for weddings as we can accommodate larger families and groups. We are close to Sunken Gardens, the Fine Arts Museum and the Dali Museum all of which are popular local wedding venues.

We are a close to St Anthony's Hospital and our home is perfect for those attending the world famous St Anthony's Triathlon. For those who are attending events at Vinoy park or looking for the thrill of speed, we are close to the St Pete Indy Car Grand Prix. Our home is close enough to walk but far enough to be peaceful and quiet.

For those guests who want to enjoy the fine white sand of our world class beaches, we are a short 15 minute drive to the gulf beaches or a few blocks from the beach and beach volley ball venues of Vinoy Park.

Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of what St Petersburg has to offer.

Grab a Coast bike share in the park or stroll down to the waterfront enjoying the sights and sounds of St Pete. Uber and Lyft is readily available in the area.

Need more space? We also offer the downstairs unit—rent both for larger groups looking for full-house accommodation!

Florida & Pest Control Notice 🌴🐜

Welcome to Florida, where the "state bird" is humorously said to be the mosquito! 😆 In our beautiful state, especially in warmer months, you may encounter mosquitoes, bugs, or lizards—a natural part of the environment.

🚨 This is not a cause for concern or a reason for a refund.

✅ Monthly Professional Pest Control:
Rest assured, our properties are serviced monthly by licensed pest control professionals to provide the best possible experience. If you happen to see a dead bug, it means our pest control is working!

We take great pride in maintaining an extremely clean and well-cared-for home with no infestations. Your comfort & safety are our top priorities!

Thank you for understanding, and enjoy your stay in our Florida home!

We are family run business who come from a long line of worldwide traveling family members and once that bug has bitten you, it can never be cured…thankfully! Needless to say, we are carrying on the tradition and are blessed to have, and still be, traveling the world extensively!

Traveling expands your horizons in a way that nothing else can, we have come to note that as vast and as beautifully stunning our world is, we are desperately failing at keeping our magnificent planet that way for future generations to come

One commonality amongst us as a family, is that we realize that we want to and CAN, make a difference in some small way through our business….and so, Vacation With A Purpose was born
We have themed almost all of our units, each time a guest stays with us we are able to take a portion of that income and donate to a cause that’s related to that property. As an example, In our Artists Way, downtown St Pete, our donation goes toward the Autism project. If you happen to choose our Sunset Beach location, we support the Surfriders Association and so much more...

We are passionate about helping others and helping to heal our planet and we hope that you will feel that way, knowing that you too have contributed, all while having a fulfilled vacation…with a purpose!
