Great location and neighborhood. Tons of closet space and towels, pillows, etc. The patio was nice but the weather was cold during our stay. Getting large luggage up the spiral staircase was tough! Overall it was a nice stay.

This is the cutest guest house -- super convenient to downtown St. Pete's, local restaurants/shopping, a quick drive to beaches, and in the nicest, quiet residential neighborhood. We stayed here to while moving our daughter into college -- and found it absolutely perfect. Martin is a wonderful host -- we plan to stay again!

Beautiful guest house with all the amenities we could wish for! Kitchen was well equipped. Bathrooms had soap and toiletries. Beds were super comfortable and the whole place had a classic homey feel. Almost hate to sing its praises too highly as we’d like to keep this place to ourselves! lol. Martin was responsive and helpful when we had questions prior to arrival. Will definitely stay again!

The home was so delightful for our 3 week stay. Very comfortable, clean, and cozy. Loved the porch swing for coffee in the morning! Spiral staircase was easy to navigate to the 2 bedrooms with Jack & Jill bathroom. Every amenity we needed was provided, Martin is a great host. We walked everywhere!

Lovely small house in heart of St. Pete's

Excellent quiet location for the city with access to both downtown and the local beaches - both walkable. Property is very well equipped with everything you could think of and feels like a home away from home. Owner is very responsive.

Cute house great location.

Location is amazing as we were able to walk downtown within 15 minutes. The house was very clean, the only recommendation is to put blackout curtains in the room with the balcony. We were woken up around 4am from the light coming on outside. Would stay again.

Great property in a great location

Right in the heart of one of St Petersburg's best neighborhoods, this property is a delight to stay in. The owner clearly put a lot of thought into the little details that make guests feel at home, and throughout our stay was very responsive to questions and requests. The only thing I would let others know is that the bedrooms are only accessible via a spiral staircase that, while beautiful, requires extra care with children under 5.

Great Spot To Stay In a Terrific Neighbourhood

Comfortable place to stay. Many nice touches throughout the backyard house. Downtown is walking distance. The area is an historic hood full of character homes and heavily canopied with palms and leafy trees. Professional and friendly host. Highly recommended.

Just as advertised!

I went on this trip for work, so I was looking for a place close to where I needed to be, but comfortable and kind of out of the way. This was everything I was looking for! It was exactly as the photos showed, everything was perfectly clean and the host was great! I recommend this wholeheartedly!

Thumbs Up

Just as pictured. Modern, thoughtfully designed and well stocked with appliances and sundry supplies. I was hesitant about the spiral staircase to 2 large bedrooms. Not to worry, zipping up and down after the first day. Location can't be beat. We walked to town every day. Our host, Martin, was extremely responsive. Nothing is perfect, though. The living room furniture was not comfortable (especially for a 2 week stay). I sat mostly on one of the dining room chairs. I'd still give it a grade A.

Love the neighborhood

We’ve been to St Petersburg multiple times and chose this property because of its proximity to downtown. It is such a great neighborhood and in walking distance of so much. The property was clean and well equipped. It was street parking only but it usually wasn’t an issue to get a spot close to the house. The house is decorated very well, but lacked comfort in the living room area. Probably not an issue for most people but I was there for two weeks recovering from surgery for part of the time, and a more comfortable couch would’ve been great. Another suggestion I’d have for the property would be a blackout curtain for the bedroom with the deck—it gets very warm when the sun shines in. Overall the house was cute, convenient, and mostly comfortable and we would rent it again.

About the host

Hosted by Martin Brady

Host profile image
My name is Martin and I’ve lived in St Petersburg for almost three years. I own a few rental properties in this area. I’m originally from Ireland. I moved to New York in 2012 until I made the move to St. Petersburg. My goal was to renovate and design this rental to suit the needs of a short term renter!

Why they chose this property

This property is situated in the heart of Historic Old Northeast which is a highly desired neighborhood located adjacent to bustling Downtown St. Pete. There are a handful of unique cafes and restaurants near by. Vinoy Park is a beautiful waterfront area just a walk away and the one and only St. Pete beach is just 20 minute drive. We provide 2 beach chairs, beach bag, towels, blanket and a cooler for your perfect beach day!
