Fantastic little apartment

The apartment itself is cozy, clean, with pretty much anything you'd need already provided. The only real downside is the parking spaces can be a bit tricky to get into, but so long as you're not driving a huge vehicle it's definitely manageable. It's also close to plenty of attractions and restaurants.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello there! I take great pleasure in welcoming visitors to the lively downtown St Petersburg area! Whether you're here for work or leisure, I strive to ensure that you have an enjoyable and memorable stay.

I manage two beautiful properties, Pagbeachhouse and stpetevacationRental, located in two distinct areas - Pass-a-Grille Beach (a part of St Pete Beach) and St Petersburg (just 15 minutes away from each other). My properties are listed on multiple booking sites as well as available for direct booking.

I'm a proud mother of a fantastic young adult, and we love to travel, explore new destinations, and stay active. Personally, I've completed 8 Ironman races! In our home, we have a charming black miniature poodle named Charlie, and two adorable kitties - Tiger and Percy.

I believe in living life to the fullest, and my family and I enjoy all the wonderful activities that our area has to offer. When you book with me, I'll be more than happy to share recommendations on places to visit and things to do. I want you to experience the best of St Pete and Pass-a-Grille Beach, so you can have a truly authentic and immersive experience!

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or specific requests. From manatees to museums, our area is bursting with exciting activities and attractions that you won't want to miss. I look forward to hosting you and helping you create unforgettable memories!

Warmly,
Lisa

Why they chose this property

I couldn't see another historic St Pete old home torn down for a parking lot, Mcmansion or a cookie cutter townhome (not kidding just look a few blocks away) it needed a lot of updates and a lot of money to make it a great space however I think it turned out pretty awesome and I hope you feel the same way!
