About this property
7-Bedroom Historic Retreat 3 Private Apartments Walkable Uptown St. Pete
The Banyan House is a rare large-group retreat designed for guests who want to stay together without sacrificing privacy. The property combines three fully separate apartments across two buildings, all reserved exclusively for your group.
With seven bedrooms, multiple kitchens, and independent living spaces, this home is ideal for multi-family vacations, extended family trips, or groups of friends traveling together. Everyone can gather comfortably, then retreat to their own apartment when it’s time to unwind.
Located in Historic Uptown St. Petersburg, the home sits in a quiet, walkable neighborhood just minutes from downtown, the Vinoy waterfront, Central Avenue, and 4th Street’s restaurants and nightlife. Guests can stroll to nearby parks, local coffee shops, and neighborhood dining, or explore world-class museums including the Dalí, all within easy reach.
The main house features a bright, historic feel with original wood floors, large windows, and welcoming shared spaces. Living rooms are set up for relaxing together, dining areas allow for shared meals or game nights, and kitchens are fully equipped for everything from simple breakfasts to full family dinners.
Several bedrooms function as private suites, offering king beds, spa-style bathrooms, soaking tubs, and walk-in showers. One suite includes family-friendly amenities such as a crib, changing table, and nursing recliner, making the home comfortable for guests traveling with young children.
The detached carriage house apartment adds a creative, art-inspired space reflecting St. Petersburg’s vibrant arts scene. It provides additional bedrooms, a full kitchen, and its own living area, connected to the main house by a large outdoor deck.
Outdoor spaces are a highlight of the property. Enjoy morning coffee on the spacious front porch, relax on the garden deck, or dine outdoors while taking advantage of Florida’s year-round sunshine.
The Banyan House is pet friendly. A pet fee of $150 per pet applies, with a maximum of three pets. Pets must be leashed outdoors, cleaned up after, and kept from excessive noise to ensure a comfortable stay for all guests.
The Banyan House offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, walkability, and character in one of St. Petersburg’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Why they chose this property
We chose the Uptown neighborhood because it offers the best balance of charm, walkability, and proximity to everything that makes St. Petersburg special. Uptown is one of the city’s most established historic neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and relaxed residential feel.
From the house, guests can walk to parks, coffee shops, and neighborhood dining, while still being just minutes from downtown, the waterfront, Central Avenue, and the city’s museums and cultural attractions. It feels peaceful and local, yet never isolated.
Uptown is especially well suited for families and groups because it is quiet, welcoming, and easy to navigate, making it a comfortable home base whether you are visiting for a few days or staying longer.

What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly unique is the combination of scale, flexibility, and location. It is one of the few properties in the Uptown neighborhood that is legally designated for bed and breakfast accommodations, which allows it to comfortably and thoughtfully host larger groups in a setting that still feels residential and relaxed.
The property offers something rarely found in this area: three fully separate apartments across two buildings, all reserved for one group. This allows guests to stay together while still enjoying private kitchens, living spaces, and bedrooms. It works especially well for multi-family trips, extended families, and groups who value both connection and personal space.
In addition to its size and layout, the home features outdoor spaces that are hard to come by in a walkable historic neighborhood, including a private backyard, a large deck, and a welcoming front porch. Guests can enjoy time outdoors without leaving the property, while still being minutes from downtown, the waterfront, and St. Petersburg’s cultural attractions.
Taken together, the legal designation, rare multi-unit layout, outdoor space, and central Uptown location make this property a one-of-a-kind option for group stays in St. Petersburg.
