Toes in the water.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Julia House on The Gulf. It's proximity to the beach was high on our list and it delivered. The sand was incredible and the sunsets were spectacular. We even spotted a dolphin just fifty feet from shore. Several restaurants within walking distance, not to mention the best Mojitos just across the street at the 360. The accommodations were comfortable and enjoyably eclectic. The patio however was where we spent most of our time enjoying a beverage(s), the sun, the breeze and stories about our daily experiences. Charlie was the best character and host you could meet with stories galore. Already missing Charlie.

Wonderful week in St. Pete. Charlie was an excellent host and the house worked very well for us. When we weren't on the beach, we were enjoying the patio. Definitely will return.

Best beach location
Had a brilliant week in this charming Floridian house. Plenty of space for family of 5, kids aged 10-16. Great outdoor space. Absolutely fantastic location, just steps from the beach. Charlie is a great host, welcoming, friendly and very hospitable. All the beach stuff you could need is there - towels, beach chairs, buckets etc. thoroughly recommend. The beach is beautiful, quiet with white sand and shallow turquoise sea. Perfect for families.

Charlie is an excellent host!
My Family and I have stayed in many condos and homes. Never before. Have you stayed in a better equipped and stocked accommodation than Charlie’s! Not only that, Charlie is a gracious and phenomenal host! Julia House is everything described and Moore and the location is to die for! Our family had a wonderful time and we are looking forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie Kabbash

Host profile image
Charlie and Rebecca love to travel but love their time on the beach in Paradise the most. Rebecca was born and raised in Virginia. Charlie is a New York/New Jersey guy. We currently live in Charlottesville, Virginia but spend most of our time on the beach. A quiet Southern belle and the outspoken Yankee have traveled much of the world and eaten lots of delicious food and still have many places yet to see. We are the proud owners of a Bluebird Luxury Coach and are proud to have visited all 50 states and 30 major league baseball parks! Charlie loves to cook and Rebecca loves to eat--they make the perfect couple! Rebecca is a product of the Richmond, Virginia school system and Charlie is a graduate of Seton Hall University.

Why they chose this property

After Charlie visited the area in the mid-1960s, his parents decided to purchase the property and began their retirement years in St. Pete Beach. The Julia House is named for Charlie's mother who was a major force in the purchase of the property. Charlie is convinced that living here added many years to both of his parents' lives. After the passing in 1989 of his father then his mother in 2000, Charlie purchased his brother's half of the property and began remodeling and renovating the property. Over the years, Charlie and Rebecca began spending more time in Paradise, sharing the property with children, grandchildren and other family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The Julia House is fully furnished with everything and anything you might need to make your stay comfortable. Access to the beach includes our own supply of beach chairs, noodles and floats. Guests also have access to a lush and tropically landscaped patio that includes an outdoor kitchen, covered Western Cedar gazebo and a Jasmine enclosed semi-private hot/cold outdoor shower to expand your outdoor living experiences. The most unique benefit to guests is the beautiful white sand and blue Gulf of Mexico with a spectacular sunset most every night. ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!
