About this property
Steps 2 Beach- Cottage w/king bd +2bikes +parking
Welcome to SeaShell Cottage — a charming, thoughtfully updated Old Florida beach home in the heart of Pass-a-Grille.
Guests love how close everything is: the beach is just steps away, restaurants and coffee are walkable, and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet — far from the crowded condo scene.
Inside, the cottage is bright, clean, and surprisingly spacious for a one-bedroom. You’ll find a comfortable king bed, a cozy living room with a door for privacy, a well-stocked kitchen, and a beautifully updated bathroom with great water pressure. The home blends original character with modern comfort, so it feels homey — not hotel-like.
Outdoor living is part of the experience here. Enjoy morning coffee or evening meals on the front or back patio, rinse off sandy feet in the outdoor shower, or grill dinner after a beach day.
We provide beach chairs, towels, a wagon, and bikes — guests love not having to bring or rent extras. Many spend their days walking the beach, biking around the island, and watching sunsets just steps from the house.
This is the kind of place guests return to year after year — quiet, walkable, welcoming, and full of Pass-a-Grille charm.
-King bedroom with comfortable bed and quality linens
-Living room with door for privacy
-Full kitchen stocked for real cooking
-Dining nook + indoor and outdoor dining options
-Step-in shower with excellent water pressure
-Front and back patios for relaxing or people-watching
-Outdoor shower for sandy feet
-Smart TVs, ceiling fans, adjustable AC
-Spotlessly clean and thoughtfully maintained
Note: The cottage is part of a small, quiet duplex. Each unit has its own entrance and private outdoor space.

Hello there! I take great pleasure in welcoming visitors to the lively downtown St Petersburg area! Whether you're here for work or leisure, I strive to ensure that you have an enjoyable and memorable stay.
I manage two beautiful properties, Pagbeachhouse and stpetevacationRental, located in two distinct areas - Pass-a-Grille Beach (a part of St Pete Beach) and St Petersburg (just 15 minutes away from each other). My properties are listed on multiple booking sites as well as available for direct booking.
I'm a proud mother of a fantastic young adult, and we love to travel, explore new destinations, and stay active. Personally, I've completed 8 Ironman races! In our home, we have a charming black miniature poodle named Charlie, and two adorable kitties - Tiger and Percy.
I believe in living life to the fullest, and my family and I enjoy all the wonderful activities that our area has to offer. When you book with me, I'll be more than happy to share recommendations on places to visit and things to do. I want you to experience the best of St Pete and Pass-a-Grille Beach, so you can have a truly authentic and immersive experience!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or specific requests. From manatees to museums, our area is bursting with exciting activities and attractions that you won't want to miss. I look forward to hosting you and helping you create unforgettable memories!

Why they chose this property
This beach house is not just a rental property to me - it's a labor of love. I put my heart and soul into personally renovating and updating it, creating a space where families and friends can come together and make memories that will last a lifetime. My own family lived in this house for a while, and we fell in love with the area. However, life has a way of pulling us in different directions, and I had to make the difficult decision to move closer to my daughter's school. But I couldn't bear to let go of this gem by the beach, so I decided to share it with others who are looking for a place to unwind and connect with nature.
One of the best things about this beach house is its convenient location - it's just a short drive from the airport and within easy reach of downtown St. Pete and Tampa. But what really sets it apart is the sense of peace and tranquility that it provides. Whether you're strolling on the beach, collecting seashells, or simply listening to the sound of the waves, you'll feel a sense of calm and serenity wash over you.
So I invite you to come and experience the magic of this beautiful beach house for yourself. Even if you only stay for a a few days or a week, I promise that you'll leave with sunsets on your mind and the horizon and open air in your heart. Come and enjoy all that Pass a Grille beach has to offer - I can't wait to welcome you!

What makes this property unique
Nestled between the azure Gulf of Mexico and the tranquil Tampa Bay, Pass-a-Grille Beach is a true hidden gem boasting pristine white sand beaches that stretch out as far as the eye can see. This idyllic little island remains refreshingly undeveloped and unspoiled, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Wander just a few blocks away to discover a tempting array of ten restaurants, serving up delicious cuisine that is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Along charming 8th Ave, the smallest downtown in the US, you'll find a delightful selection of cute shops and boutiques, perfect for leisurely strolling and browsing. As a mostly residential beach, Pass-a-Grille Beach is tailor-made for walking, relaxing, cycling, or swimming, inviting you to slow down and savor life's simple pleasures. Take advantage of the beach house's prime location, just steps from the beach trolley stop, and let the trolley whisk you away to explore the surrounding area, or simply stay put and indulge in the delights of the local restaurants and attractions. And, above all, don't miss out on the awe-inspiring sunset, which has earned Pass-a-Grille/St Pete Beach the coveted title of "sunset capital of FL". As the sun sinks below the horizon, the surrounding waters reflect its golden rays, casting a warm glow over each glorious day.
