About this property

Stay Together in a Historic Uptown Bungalow Near Downtown

Stay together in a beautifull historic bungalow located in St. Petersburg’s sought-after Uptown neighborhood. This booking includes the entire front house at Banyan House, combining both the upstairs and downstairs apartments into one continuous home reserved exclusively for your group.

The home offers generous space and flexibility, making it well suited for families, multi-generational stays, group trips, and ownership-approved celebrations. With two full kitchens, multiple living areas, and access to outdoor spaces, guests can spend time together comfortably while still enjoying room to spread out.

The upstairs level features a bright living room with comfortable seating and a TV, a dining area for shared meals or game nights, and a fully equipped kitchen. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on this level, along with a separate nursery room that includes a crib, changing table, and nursing recliner, making the home especially convenient for guests traveling with infants.

The downstairs level offers a warm, classic bungalow feel with original wood floors and large windows. It includes its own living room, dining area, and full kitchen, along with two spacious master suites featuring king beds. The primary bathroom includes both a clawfoot soaking tub and a large double shower, creating a relaxing retreat after a day exploring the city.

The front porch is reserved exclusively for guests staying in the front house and provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. A large garden deck at the rear of the property is shared with other units and is available for outdoor dining, casual gatherings, or enjoying Florida’s warm weather.

The home is directly adjacent to a neighborhood park, making the location especially appealing for families and guests who enjoy being outdoors. The park features a scenic pond, walking paths, and a large banyan tree that serves as a local landmark and gathering spot. Guests can easily step outside for a morning walk, relax by the water, or enjoy time in a green space that feels distinctly local and unhurried.

The bungalow is situated on a quiet, tree-lined street within walking distance of coffee shops, neighborhood dining, and everyday conveniences. Downtown St. Petersburg, the Vinoy waterfront, Central Avenue, and the city’s museums and cultural attractions are all just minutes away.

This home can accommodate ownership-approved group celebrations such as milestone birthdays, bachelorette weekends, family reunions, and small retreats. All events must be disclosed and approved in advance to ensure the property is properly prepared for your stay.

This historic Uptown bungalow offers a rare combination of character, space, walkability, and proximity to green space, making it an exceptional home base for group stays in St. Petersburg.

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Bendall

Host profile image
We are local hosts who take pride in offering thoughtfully cared-for homes that are comfortable, clean, and easy to enjoy. We’ve designed The Banyan House specifically for families and groups, making sure everyone has space to relax while still being able to spend time together.

We live nearby and are available if you need anything during your stay, while always respecting your privacy. From the moment you book through checkout, our goal is to make your visit smooth, welcoming, and stress-free.

We love St. Petersburg and are happy to share local recommendations, from favorite coffee spots to restaurants, parks, and things to do around the city. Whether you’re visiting for a short getaway or a longer stay, we want you to feel at home and well taken care of.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Uptown neighborhood because it offers the best balance of charm, walkability, and proximity to everything that makes St. Petersburg special. Uptown is one of the city’s most established historic neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and relaxed residential feel.

From the house, guests can walk to parks, coffee shops, and neighborhood dining, while still being just minutes from downtown, the waterfront, Central Avenue, and the city’s museums and cultural attractions. It feels peaceful and local, yet never isolated.

Uptown is especially well suited for families and groups because it is quiet, welcoming, and easy to navigate, making it a comfortable home base whether you are visiting for a few days or staying longer.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly unique is the combination of scale, flexibility, and location. It offers something rarely found in the Uptown neighborhood: multiple self-contained living spaces on one property, reserved entirely for a single group.

The layout allows guests to stay together while still enjoying private kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms, making it ideal for families, multi-generational travel, group trips, and hosted stays. This flexibility sets the property apart from standard single-home rentals.

In addition to its size and layout, the property features outdoor spaces that are uncommon for a walkable historic neighborhood, including a welcoming front porch and a large garden deck. These spaces allow guests to relax and gather outdoors while remaining close to the home.

Its Uptown location adds to its uniqueness. The property sits next to a neighborhood park with walking paths, a scenic pond, and a landmark banyan tree, creating a sense of openness and connection to green space that is rare so close to downtown.

Together, the multi-unit layout, outdoor gathering spaces, and central yet residential location make this property a one-of-a-kind option for group stays in St. Petersburg
