Lovely visit

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was excellent. We could walk downtown and enjoy restaurants and museums. The apartment was well equipped and we had a new grill! Every request was immediately attended to and in every case Jennifer and Brian were most gracious. I loved the peace and quiet. It’s a very special neighborhood.

Great Cottage in Historic St. Pete

Extremely clean and well maintained. The hosts responded immediately to a slight issue with the door that turned out to be user error ;-) Very nice, picturesque parks with a view of the water within 6 blocks as well as a great downtown area with lots of cool restaurants and museums. Loved the walkability and the nice yard for the dog.

Wonderful home base to explore downtown St. Pete.

Jennifer and Brian's cottage is a wonderful place to call home base while visiting the St. Pete area. Beautifully decorated, clean and the location is perfect for walking to downtown St. Pete and Tampa Bay beaches and marinas. After exploring all day it was a joy to come home to this delightful cottage. The bed, linens, kitchen and bath were first class. Even our dog had a good time meeting the many other pets in the area. Dog park just a short walk away. Highly recommend for a couple looking for a week or weekend away.

Perfect, private getaway

We loved this one-bedroom cottage in St. Petersburg's NE area. It is perfectly located, totally quiet and private. Jennifer and Brian are warm hosts who have gone to get lengths to make sure their guests are totally provided for. The cottage has everything you need for a wonderful stay. No need to worry about the accommodation's when staying here. The water, parks, walking paths, downtown, trolley, restaurants, and nightlife are a few blocks away. We loved walking to the Black Crow Coffee house each morning to start our day. Can't wait to go back again.

Great cozy cottage

It was just what I needed. Perfect size, very quiet, and a parking space! The owners are very nice and attentive. The clothes washer needed fixing, and they were on it immediately, replacing the unit with a new one. I had initial trouble with the internet and they immediately provided an alternative line so I could do my work. I would most definitely recommend staying here!

Great holiday in St. Pete

We had a great 3week holiday inSt Pete,the weather was perfect as was your cottage.This property is well situated for easy walks into town and along the waterfront park area.The cottage is cozy and very clean and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our morning coffee out on the verandah and evenings in our private garden. We enjoyed events at the park and at the Art gallery which also had really good food in their Cafe. Would highly recommend this property. Thanks for a great stay. Sandi and Katharine

Great location in St Petersburg, perfect stay

We were looking for a place to stay in Historic Old Northeast St Petersburg and couldn't have found a better location. Cottage was extremely clean, cozy, private and comfortable. Neighborhood area is nice, safe and quiet. Both Jen and Brian were excellent hosts - super helpful, responsive and friendly with recommendations for the area. We had two small dogs with us and there was plenty of space inside plus a fenced yard outside for them to run around in. Location was perfect and everything we wanted to see was close by including grocery stores, amazing restaurants + coffee shops. Both my wife and I highly recommend this place and would definitely return if we are ever back in the area looking for a place to stay.

Cozy Cottage

Awesome cottage in the heart of historic NE St. Petersburg. We stayed for 8 nights between Christmas and New Year's, perfect location to enjoy all that the area has to offer. It is an eclectic neighborhood of bungalows and older homes, very cool... The property is spotlessly clean and has a great kitchen to prepare meals. It is the perfect size for two with a very comfortable king-sized bed. It is pet-friendly, although you would never know another pet had ever stayed there. Jennifer and Brian are terrific hosts who know how to make guests feel welcome. We would definitely choose to stay at the cottage should future travel bring us back to the area.

Quaint, charming, private, and well apportioned

The unit is spacious, well-apportioned, in great shape, and comfortable. The bed is lovely and having cable television was an added bonus. The kitchen has everything you need if you plan to eat in during your vacation. The owners are on property and very informative but the unit is very private if you desire your own space. The unit has a very high walk score and is minutes from downtown St. Pete with great restaurant options, museums, city vibe, and the largest farmer's market in Florida. A reasonable nightly fee rounds out this overall superb option when staying in St. Pete. We would definitely return to this property.

Cottage Oasis

We had a wonderful week in St. Pete. This neighborhood is so close to everything we love about St Pete. We were able to walk to downtown where there are a ton of things to do. We rented bikes , caught a wonderful Jazz concert at the Palladium, great restaurants all easily within walking distance . St Pete beach was a 10-15 minute drive or you could walk right down to the bay from this adorable cottage and be at a beach. Brian and Jen were the nicest hosts you could hope for. This cottage had everthing we needed to be comfortable and allowed us the privacy of a home away from home. So happy with our choice and plan to return again. Thanks for a great week.

I can't wait to return

We were very impressed by how thoughtfully furnished the property is; they have provided well for their guests. We also noted how very, very clean everything was. My (tall) husband even remarked that the top of the refrigerator was very clean, which he tells me is not common. Lots of information was provided about activities and restaurants. The hosts were very responsive to the few things we needed help with. The location was great as we could walk to the park on the bayfront and to downtown restaurants. It is also a lovely neighborhood with lots of interesting houses. It was very quiet at night and we felt very safe. I highly recommend this rental.

Sweet cottage in excellent location!

We rented this adorable cottage in the old northeast for my parents. It was perfect for them! Private entrance, cozy courtyard and front porch made an great first impression. The cottage itself was immaculate and well appointed with a cute seating area, eat in kitchen and large bedroom with king size bed. We've rented often through vrbo and I have to say that this property was the nicest I've seen. My parents literally had to unpack their bags and they were good to go. Beds made up with fresh linens, fluffy towels and the basics all ready in the kitchen. Very quiet, safe neighborhood within easy walking distance to downtown St. Pete. The owners, Jen and Brian were friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this property if you're looking for the perfect Florida getaway!

Great cottage in a beautiful setting

We rented the cottage for an all too brief stay during the first weeks of February. Jennifer had already been accommodating prior to our stay in making some changes to our vacation time frame. The cottage is located in a very quiet and safe part of town. It is about a ten minute leisurely walk to Beach Drive and its museums and restaurants. In the other direction you get to a beautiful waterfront park in about an eight minute stroll. The cottage itself was immaculate and had everything that was stated in its description. The bed was very comfortable and the living area was homey. We enjoyed sitting out in the courtyard reading and having an afternoon snack and glass of wine. Thanks again Jennifer and Brian for making our stay so enjoyable!

Perfect in everyway!!

Jennifer and Brians cottage is the perfect place for a getaway. My daughter, her friend and I stayed for 4 nights during Spring Break and we loved it! We decided it is our new favorite vacation spot and cannot wait to return. The location was perfect! Very close to the amazing downtown St. Pete area where there is an abundance of things to do. WE definitely did not have enough time to enjoy everything available in the area. Amazing restaurants, shopping, beaches and museums. Just a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend visiting the Sundial Shopping area in downtown and you must visit Locale at least once while in St. Pete. Jennifer was wonderful about recommending things to do, places to see and places to eat. The cottage itself is lovely. The perfect place to relax and enjoy! We will definitely be back.

Very convenient and livable unit

Jennifer and Brian do a great job of maintaining this unit. It has everything you need for your stay and is very clean. They also respond quickly to any problems and for us that wa s tv and ac. Tv accessible within minutes and ac in a few hours. It has a cute porch and patio with no real view but it’s quiet and comfortable. We walked and biked everywhere including downtown, museums, parks, waterfront, swimming, tennis, movies, shopping, etc. Old northeast is a quaint neighborhood that is shaded, safe, and highly walkable. Beaches are a 20 minute drive but there is one small beach within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay. It is as pictured.

Cozy Cottage, Calming, Convenient and Clean

The review title really says it all - Cozy Cottage, Calming, Convenient and Clean. All things that a vacationing family desires. The cottage is located in backyard of the owner's home - in this area this is common. However the way the property and yard are designed there is not a privacy issue. There is a patio table with umbrella just outside the small front porch. When you walk in the cottage the first thing I noticed was the color of the walls - such a calm shade of blue. They have great taste in furniture and decor. The bed was comfortable. Cable TV. We went to the beach by the bay a couple of blocks away and the property owner let us use their beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. We walked to the downtown area every day. The time away was wonderful and the accommodations added to the trip. Thank you Jennifer and Bryan for providing such a wonderful retreat.

You are most welcome! It was nice to meet you both. I appreciate you commenting on the privacy afforded to you. We are very cognizant of that. We are often away from the property or hanging out on the patio all the way in the front of the property. We like to make ourselves available for any questions but err on the side of privacy for our guests. Thanks for choosing our cottage for your vacation.
