We LOVED our stay! Property keeps the laidback charm of old Pass-a-grille but has every modern amenity. Beds were super comfy. Loved having access to bikes so we could enjoy the island without worrying about parking: Will definitely be back.

We were pleasantly surprised....the close proximity to the beach, the roominess of the house, the privacy of the house. It was quite nice. It rained almost nonstop and we actually did not go to the beach even once! However, we hung out at the house and found nice restaurants nearby. It was nice to get away for a few days. Thank you.

Spectacular Pass-A-Grille Beach Getaway

Just returned from the most perfect escape at a beach house with an idyllic location - just a 3 minute walk from the beautiful white sandy beach. The house was immaculate, cozy and provided the perfect haven to relax and soak up the amazing sound of the waves. Highly recommended!

Great place, great location

Spotlessly clean and nicely decorated and furnished. Modern and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with matching pretty tableware. The two bedrooms are both roomy and bright. No need to draw straws. Great vibe here with everyone coming together to recover from the storms. Sad to see the loss of some landmarks. Picky things: a couple more wine glasses would be good. One of the beach cruisers was nearly unridable. Otherwise a perfect 10.

Birthday weekend with pups

Wonderful location. Comfortable beds. Very clean. This property is wonderful but the only downside is parking for this unit. driveway and you need to be a good back up driver to be able to manipulate and backout of the driveway. Trees, bamboo especially when there are other cars in the driveway. I'm an expert driving backwards so it took me a little bit. Otherwise wonderful stay we will definitely be back! Lisa is a wonderful hist/owner and has thoroughly thought of everything to have there to make your stay more enjoyable.

Great house!

The house was an easy walk to the beach. It was very well stocked with everything you could need including ample cookware, utensils, wonderful bath products, even a white noise machine. The TV is nice and big in the main living area. Shaner's market is very close. Highly recommend that and the new coffee place the Leaping Llama I believe it's called. A very short drive to all the restaurants and walking distance to the Don Cesar. I highly recommend this rental!

Great location in a beautiful place. So handy for the beach and all amenities are in walking (warm) distance. Not sure changing the name of Sea Critters to Red, White and Booze will help attract customers in the future.

Relaxing in Paradise

Beautifully decorated cottage only a minute walk to the beach. Large, comfortable living area with large tv. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were super comfortable! Full bathroom and 1/2 bathroom were perfect! Nice patio area with bikes, chairs , beach towels, wagon and all you need for a day at the beach. Able to walk to restaurants. Great to have one parking spot by cottage and a parking pass allowing us to bring 2 cars. Parking pass is awesome for parking in other areas of Pass a Grille!! Lisa was amazing. Answering all my questions very quickly!! Would highly recommend!!

This property is a quaint quiet beach cottage that provided a wonderful place to relax after fun in the sun. Fantastic neighborhood with wonderful restaurants nearby. Everything is within walking distance. Beach access is only about 1 1/2 blocks away in a low traffic area.

Perfect Place for a Relaxing Stay

I can not recommend this property enough. It was perfect for what I was looking for. Situated almost in the middle between the Paradise Grille and the Don Cesar I could get the best of Pass-a-Grille within walking distance. The property is very comfortable and well-appointed. Not fancy, comfortable. Exactly how I like things. Ample parking, a big kitchen, nice living room, and the bedrooms were enough for me and the guests I had during the weekends. The beach is about a 3-minute walk away. Topping everything off was that they are pet friendly. My dog and cat were totally at home. But there was ZERO sign that animals are allowed. Everything was clean, etc. Finally, the management of the property is top-notch. We had a self-induced a plumbing problem and after a bit of trying to resolve it myself, I contacted Lisa. She had a professional plumber out there within an hour. Outstanding response! Thank you so much for making our stay so fantastic!

This is an apartment not a house

As an active duty military family, we don't have the opportunity to see family very often, so our trip to Pass-a-grill was not only the first vacation we've taken in years, but we were also planning to see family that we hadn't seen in a long time. I was surprised to receive an email the day before we were supposed to leave for our vacation, that disclosed that the 'beachhouse' we were expecting to stay in was actually an apartment! All the advertisements we had seen previously on VRBO showed pictures of what we thought was a single family house, but the pictures hid the rest of the 'compound'. There are actually 4 total apartments on the property in 2 separate buildings. Parking is extremely tight in the driveway, but the owner did provide us with an on street parking permit at no additional cost, which was nice and we were able to use for family who visited. We had been planning to have a BBQ on the 4th of July, but the grills were rusted out and unusable, so we cooked in the oven and on the stove instead. It was nice having all the kitchen necessities, but a grill was advertised. The hammock in our part of the yard was moldy so we couldn't use it, and the patio set needed a good cleaning before we could use it. I also didn't like having to share the laundry with other renters, especially since there were a couple time conflicts and we were originally expecting a SFH. Overall, we did have a good experience. There are just those few things I would have liked to have known up front. The apartment was really cute and there was more than enough space for our family, but there are SFHs available at cheaper prices. We loved being only a couple blocks from the beach so much that we are considering retiring in the area eventually.

Perfectly named: Paradise By The Sea

Property was just as described in the listing. It was a perfect balance between Pass-a-grille period charm and the latest updates / modern conveniences. It was immaculate upon arrival and just 1.5 blocks from the beach entry. 22nd Ave is the northernmost public access, so we weren't crowded on sand or water at all. It was our first major family outing with our Australian shepherd and she did remarkably well. We hope all who come after us enjoy this lovely getaway as much as we did.

Passe -a-Grille Beach House wonderful experience!

My sister and I really enjoyed our stay at your beach house. The place was clean and comfortable and the outside furniture was a pleasure. We got much needed rest for a week away from our jobs. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do which was also a bonus. I highly recommend your beach house.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for a long time. It has been annual rentals for awhile until in 2012 I began updating the property and making it for vacationers! This area is paradise and it is wonderful to own a small part of an island!

What makes this property unique

Known for its stunning beaches and beautiful Gulf of Mexico views. **Pass-a-Grille Beach**: is a historic neighborhood within St. Pete Beach and is famous for its quaint, Old Florida charm, with unique shops, restaurants, and a serene beach.

Celebrated for its natural beauty, outdoor activities, and the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and the Tampa Bay, Pass-a -Grille Beach is a gem with water and white sand beach everywhere in an underdeveloped little island. There are ten restaurants that are enticing, yummy and only a few blocks away. Cute shops and boutiques run along 8th Ave, the smallest downtown in the US which is perfect for strolling. Pass a Grille Beach is mostly a residential beach- It is perfect for a life made for walking, relaxing, cycling or swimming. The beach house is only a few steps from our beach trolley stop and the trolley can take you to wherever you want to go.. or you can just stay, enjoy the water, the sea grapes and the local restaurants as they entice all who come to this area. Above all enjoy the sunset that has made Pass a Grille/St Pete Beach the 'sunset capital of FL the water is all around to reflect the suns rays and shine with warmth on each glorious day.
