About this property

Waterfront 1BR Retreat w/Shared Private Beach + Walk to Beach Blvd

Wake up near the water at this charming 1-bedroom retreat, one of three private, attached guest accommodations on a waterfront property overlooking Boca Ciega Bay. Your indoor space is entirely your own, while the expansive waterfront yard and sandy private beach are shared exclusively with guests of the property’s two other accommodations.

Inside, you’ll find a relaxed, eclectic character with a queen bed, wood floors, full kitchen, separate powder room, and a unique bath with a large tub and shower.

Step outside to unwind by the bay, watch for dolphins and shorebirds, fish from the shoreline, catch a beautiful Florida sunset, or simply enjoy the breeze. The shared waterfront setting offers plenty of room to relax and enjoy one of the property’s most special features.

When you’re ready to explore, leave the car behind. Gulfport’s restaurants, bars, colorful shops, local beach, fishing pier, live music, farmers market, and arts scene are all within an easy walk.

St. Pete Beach and downtown St. Petersburg are also approximately 10–15 minutes away by car.

It’s a great fit for guests looking for a peaceful waterfront escape with Gulfport’s quirky charm and the best of both worlds, relaxing by the bay and walking into town.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
We celebrated one year with our property in vacation rental in March 2015, and we are excited to offer our our little slice of paradise to travelers. While our photo shows my husband, myself and my son, I, Lisa, am the one handling the details of your visit. My background is in film & TV and I work as a consultant, coach and producer to assist people in amplifying their prosperity by using media on the web. My husband is a metal artist (you can see his public art pieces in Gulfport - the Pelicans at Gulfport Beach behind the Casino and the Arch at the Art Village).

I am a 5 Rhythms dancer and I also enjoy practicing yoga at Yoga Moves in St. Petersburg.

Why they chose this property

I had been in the house several years before I discovered it was on the market in 1999 - I put in a full price offer without ever even looking at it again! I have felt such a deep sense of peace, fun and possibility on this property. On the edge of the quaint town of Gulfport, it truly is paradise! Yes, it's quirky and eclectic, and it is fabulous and comfortable, and, well, paradise...

What makes this property unique

Uh, the secluded sanctuary of a private beach steps from fantastic restaurants, live music, festivals and fun!
