About this property
4BR Historic Home Near Downtown | Pool & Courtyard
Beautiful, charming Craftsman home with a cozy, “homey” feel—guests often say it’s clean, spacious, and bigger than expected, with very comfortable beds. You’re minutes from downtown St. Pete and close to great local spots (coffee, restaurants, shops, museums, and more). Enjoy your private front porch and relax in the lush rear courtyard with a saltwater wading lagoon and waterfall after a day out.
Please note: the rear courtyard and lagoon are shared with the other rentals at the back of the property (no shared interior walls—this house is all yours). This is a quiet, respectful home—no parties or loud music.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Charest
Hi, I’m Lisa! I love welcoming guests to the St. Petersburg and Pass-a-Grille Beach areas and helping them enjoy everything this incredible part of Florida has to offer—whether you’re here for work, a getaway, or a special occasion.
I personally manage two boutique properties: PAGBeachHouse and StPeteVacationRental, located in Pass-a-Grille Beach and St. Petersburg, just about 15 minutes apart. I take pride in being a hands-on, responsive host.
I’m a mom, an avid traveler, and a lifelong explorer—I’ve even completed 8 Ironman races. Our family includes a sweet miniature poodle named Charlie and three cats, Toby, Tiger and Percy. We truly love this area and everything it offers.
When you stay with me, you’re not just booking a place—you’re getting a local connection. I’m always happy to share recommendations for dining, beaches, museums, outdoor activities, and hidden local favorites so you can experience St. Pete and Pass-a-Grille like a local.
If you have any questions or special requests, I’m always here to help. I look forward to hosting you and helping you create a memorable stay.
Warmly,
Lisa
