Location: St. Pete Beach, Florida Central West, Florida, USA (28 highway minutes from Tampa Airport, 100 paces from water)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Blue Water, White Sand! Come to our little corner of paradise, an easy 28 minutes from Tampa Airport or 15 minutes from St. Petersburg and Clearwater Airport. Our two-bedroom, 1 bath home, built in 1944, is just 120 paces from the sugar-like sand beaches of the Gulf and just 50 paces from the Intercoastal Waterway. Be prepared for your breath to be taken away, as you cross the sand dune walkover and see the bluest-blue and greenest-green Gulf for the first time. Think Corona beer commercials.
Rent a car if you want, but you will find that you can walk everywhere on our little island. Great restaurants like Paradise Grill, the famous Hurricane's, and the Seahorse will have you believing that you have just stepped out of your parents' 1955 Chevy again. Go deep-sea fishing or take a shelling or sunset cruise from little Merry Pier, or rent a pole, buy some shrimp bait and catch sheepshead, grouper or snapper off the jetty. Grab a cone at our local ice cream store, Paradise Sweets, and stake out a bench on the sea wall. Wait for the daily parade of dolphins leaving their safe intercoastal environs and heading out to the Gulf for hours of play and eating – you might even spy a manatee in summer!
When lazing your days away and eating grouper and shrimp – so fresh they are still salty – gets old, you are only a short drive from Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, the Salvadore Dali Museum, and the Ringling Museum. Orlando is only 45 minutes away and Sarasota, for a great day of shopping and dining in St. Armand's Circle on Siesta Key, is a simple day trip. Of course, there are outlet stores along the way, or you can go native by detouring to Anna Marie Island, the next best-kept secret on the Gulf.
Completely renovated in 2007, our second-story apartment with its own private entrance is full of our favorite tropical art and the colors of the Gulf. A large Great Room blends seamlessly into the brand new kitchen, with a queen Select Comfort bed in one bedroom and two twin beds in the second. A queen pull-out futon in the living room and outdoor shower will all make you feel right at home. Enjoy breakfast or dinner on the patio inside our landscaped and fenced yard. The owners live right on the property - separate from your space, of course! - so your wish is our command.
Just one thing, you have to promise to leave when your stay is over. We have more guests arriving!
