We had a great time at Karen's pool cottage. Happy place for sure! This super cute private pool house located directly behind her beach cottage is the perfect location. Just 1.5 blocks from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants on Corey Ave! The host has everything you'll need for a great beach vaca...pool (complete with dolphin fountain), bikes, washer and dryer, kitchen etc. We had a great stay and highly recommend it!

Fantastic Beach Bungalow
I absolutely love this place. Karen was fantastic to work with and so accommodating. The Bungalow is so close to the beach. So many places to walk to for a drink or dinner , or just a fabulous sunset with a glass of wine. Karen turned us on to The Secret Garden which you should also visit. It is amazing. The place itself is clean and cozy. Just right for my stay, whether you are single or a couple you will love it. There is also a private heated pool that I had access to during my stay. Karen lives in the big house on the other side of the pool and did everything to make my stay exceptional. I will be doing this again. Such a wonderful touch to have the "Welcome Gift " waiting for me on my arrival.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Hargitt
I am a realtor and live in the main house but still work 5-6 days a week selling new homes for a builder. I fell in love with this property when I viewed it and am so happy I live here! I rent my pool cottage out during the winter months, Jan - April only and use it the rest of the year for my friends and family who visit occasionally. If you choose to rent my pool cottage, I hope you will fall in love with my home as well as the surrounding area and gorgeous beaches!
Why they chose this property
So very private and oh so close to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico as well as the Secret Garden! Also, within walking distance of restaurants, shops and clubs on Corey Ave as well as bicycling distance to many gulf front resorts up and down St Pete Beach.
