About this property
Professional cottage on 1/2 acre lot in quiet country setting
This is a newly renovated, cozy, yet professional cottage situated on a 1/2 acre lot in a quiet, safe neighborhood. It is centrally located with great access to downtown St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, & Tampa. Tampa International Airport is 17 miles away, & the beaches of Clearwater & St. Petersburg are even closer than that!
This cottage is fully furnished with a leather sofa, love-seat, futon, & chairs. There are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed. The 2 bathrooms have showers & one has a bathtub. The kitchen is fully furnished with a full refrigerator & freezer, electric stove with oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, coffee-maker, toaster, blender, pots, & even Lenox china. There is a tea box with teas & coffee from Hawaii (Lion Coffee). Central air & heat as well as ceiling fans create a comfortable environment regardless of the outside temperature.
The full-size stackable washer & dryer is in the back of the cottage so laundry can easily be done (if needed) while relaxing, cooking, or doing desk work.
The den has a 55 inch Roku TV, & a professional desk where one can comfortably perform work duties while enjoying TV or Pandora music, & of course there is high speed WiFi included as well. The Master bedroom also has a Roku TV as well.
Between the detached garage & the cottage is a large patio area where one can rest in tranquility near a garden area with cane reeds which provide privacy from the neighbors. A large patio table with 6 chairs is set up in this sunny area. If you prefer, there is a small sitting area under the front porch.

About the host
Hosted by Gigi Lefebvre
I am a Family Practice physician who came to the St. Petersburg area in 1987 from Louisiana to do my residency training. I have lived at my home (which is the second house to the east of the rental cottage) since 1991, & I thoroughly enjoy the area which is unique in that the neighborhood has a rural feel yet it is located in the middle of Pinellas County which is certainly no longer rural. The county has a population of 900,000+, & its county seat is Clearwater, yet St. Petersburg is it's largest city., When my neighbors decided to relocate to New York in 2015, I chose to purchase & renovate their home so I could share this unique property with professionals & visitors in general who might not know that acreage still exists in the St. Pete area!
Why they chose this property
I work with many professionals in the medical industry, & often times they travel to our area for business. Most times they stay in a hotel, which lacks the feel of home. Chalet le Bon Temps is a newly renovated 2BR/2 bath cottage which is fully furnished to make the traveler feel he is at "home." Things like a recliner, a full kitchen, windows with top down-bottom up blinds, & an actual yard with birds & squirrels create a sense of familiarity & relaxation not commonly found at our local hotels or condos.
