About this property

4BR Historic Home Near Downtown | Pool & Courtyard

Beautiful, charming Craftsman home with a cozy, “homey” feel—guests often say it’s clean, spacious, and bigger than expected, with very comfortable beds. You’re minutes from downtown St. Pete and close to great local spots (coffee, restaurants, shops, museums, and more). Enjoy your private front porch and relax in the lush rear courtyard with a saltwater wading lagoon and waterfall after a day out.

Please note: the rear courtyard and lagoon are shared with the other rentals at the back of the property (no shared interior walls—this house is all yours). This is a quiet, respectful home—no parties or loud music.

The Craftsman house had everything I needed for a perfect St. Pete getaway. The host was incredibly responsive, answering my questions even before I booked. Although the home dates back to the 1920s, it offers the cleanliness, comfort, and amenities you’d expect from a five-star hotel. I would absolutely book this home again for my next trip to St. Pete!

Wow wow wow! What a perfect stay from start to finish. Coordinator Lisa was thorough and detailed with info in advance and ensured the really lovely home was ready in all ways -- it was spotless, stocked with extra snacks & good9es (!!) and decorated in a terrific way that felt like a home and not just another rental. Extra kudos for having a code on the door so the four of us in the house didn't have to share one key (please tell more of your VRBO rentals to do this!!!) Lisa continued to be available and helpful throughout the stay -- what an awesome host!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Jun, 2023
I know you were concerned because of the address and I’m so happy that you loved the property and found it to be in a fantastic safe neighborhood with a lot of wonderful restaurants (even the ice cream stand for your family!) the city of Saint Pete does not allow any short term rentals at all.. so this wonderful property happens to be in a commercial zone .. and one of the very very few that is legal and able to be a short term rental. It’s so unfortunate at the city is now even going to properties and asking people to leave if they’ve rented an illegal short term rental. So while you were worried it was on a mini-main street - it is also the few properties in st Pete able to be rented on a short term basis so that your family could stay without worry of being put out by the city.. So I’m glad you and your family were able to enjoy the property and the amazing neighborhood!

Amber had a couple of items that she didn’t mention to me when she was there that I could have easily helped her with (for example, missing salt and pepper, she broke glass artwork ).. I didn’t find out about these items until after her stay, and therefore was not able to help her make her stay even better or work through the issues.. I would just ask in the future. Please let the owner know of any problems so that they have the opportunity to resolve them if possible while still on vacation

Fantastic rental for a group!

This property was perfect for our group of 6 getaway weekend. We never felt cramped and it had everything we needed—plenty of bathrooms, an adorable outdoor space, great kitchen, parking. Lisa (the host) was kind and easy to communicate with. I couldn’t recommend this home more!

The perfect getaway

This is such a charming home. Nice quiet area and just a short ride to the beach. The home was spacious and perfect for our family and our dogs. The kids enjoyed the pool and pool area. Our favorite part was all of us taking in the fresh breeze while relaxing on the porch enjoying ice cream from the ice cream spot, just a small walk away. The owner was very nice and informative. I would definitely recommend!

Great Location & Roomy for Your Family

I needed to find a home away from home for 15 days to be near downtown St. Pete for medical reasons. We had both parents, a 13-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old son, Nana, and 2 dogs. Let's just say a FULL HOUSE. We needed plenty of room to spread out and we needed a comfortable environment for all of us. Both parents were working remotely so needed some spots to have meetings as well. Our stay was great. The location was very convenient - we could walk to dinner/lunch spots easily and loved the nearby crescent lake park for the doggos. The main house is on a busy street (so not a super quiet suburb) but that didn't bother us. The tradeoff was the walkability. St. Pete is such a great city with much to see and do. I don't think we ever had to drive more than 10 or so minutes for any of our fun adventures. The home was clean and well cared for. The only real challenge was the internet reliability, but each time I contacted the owner, the modem was reset in minutes. Lisa was very responsive. She was great to work with from booking to checkout. We actually left some things that were mailed back the next day - great service. Overall, I would happily stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Charest

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Lisa! I love welcoming guests to the St. Petersburg and Pass-a-Grille Beach areas and helping them enjoy everything this incredible part of Florida has to offer—whether you’re here for work, a getaway, or a special occasion.

I personally manage two boutique properties: PAGBeachHouse and StPeteVacationRental, located in Pass-a-Grille Beach and St. Petersburg, just about 15 minutes apart. I take pride in being a hands-on, responsive host.

I’m a mom, an avid traveler, and a lifelong explorer—I’ve even completed 8 Ironman races. Our family includes a sweet miniature poodle named Charlie and three cats, Toby, Tiger and Percy. We truly love this area and everything it offers.

When you stay with me, you’re not just booking a place—you’re getting a local connection. I’m always happy to share recommendations for dining, beaches, museums, outdoor activities, and hidden local favorites so you can experience St. Pete and Pass-a-Grille like a local.

If you have any questions or special requests, I’m always here to help. I look forward to hosting you and helping you create a memorable stay.

Warmly,
Lisa
