Great location

Banyan Cottage was a perfect spot for walks, good food, close to the new Arts and Crafts museum and the Palladium. The beds were comfy, kitchen huge and well supplied, linens soft and furniture just what we needed. We loved spending time at the tables on the back deck or in the comfortable furniture on the front porch.

Awesome stay!

Great historic little neighborhood right near everything in downtown St Pete. My wife and I were in town for Rays' opening day and had zero trouble getting to and from Tropicana field in minutes. Tons of great restaurants near by. The house was great we had everything we needed and then some. The owners were very communicative and gave us assistance for everything we asked for. We will definitely be staying with them again.

Charming Home and Wonderful Hosts

My wife, 18 year old daughter and I stayed at this charming and roomy property and could not be more appreciative of the communication and consideration provided by the hosts. The house is located in a very cool neighborhood, walking distance to great coffee houses, and close - but not too close - to key expressways. We were taking our daughter to college and plan to stay at the property on every visit.

Great Vacay

We stayed for 2 months and had a fabulous stay. We loved the neighborhood feeling of Round Lake. Hanging out on the front porch and grilling on the back deck were highlights. Beds had comfy foam mattresses. Spacious, lots of storage space everywhere. A definite St Pete gem. It’s an easy walk to downtown but a bit of a hike if you have any mobility issues. Highly recommend!

Quiet street in a nice older neighborhood

Check-In was a little complicated as both the outside door and the inside door have codes and their automation produced an error when generating the code, but it was quickly resolved with the hosts. The house is just a few blocks from the main drag with all the restaurants and close to bike trails. The house was clean but some fixtures are visibly tarnished and there are some loose floor tiles. Not much noise besides footsteps from the apartment above. The street parking can be a little tight. Two weeks to return a security deposit is a little ridiculous.

Entry

Our stay was really good once we got inside. I’m not that tech inclined so I had difficulty with the whole process of creating an account, logging in, using codes, etc. I had to rely on one of our ‘neighbors’ in the adjoining apartment to get codes and let us in. It would be great if you had an emergency number for people like myself.

St Pete Weekend with kids

This property description is very misleading. It does not fit 6 adults without using a couch and an air mattress which most people do not want to do. We read in comments that couch folded out but it did not. Sleeping was very tough. Cute place and great location. May want to spray as we encountered numerous cockroaches at night. It was a bit a of a disappointment.

Great find for St Pete

Wonderful old house, yes with some of the idiosyncrasies of lovely well cared for old homes, but everything worked and was absolutely lovely. Checkin and communication process was smooth and simple. Location seemed a little far from downtown, but we walked it several times, takes about 10-20min depending upon destination, and it’s such a pretty walk. Jogging in the historic northeast section and along the waterfront was very nice. At least two lovely coffee shops within a few blocks. Though the host did leave a stocked Keurig for us. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen appeared stocked and easy to use, with lovely outdoor or indoor space for larger groups to eat. Overall lovely and look forward to booking again for future trips to St Pete.

Great location, cozy accommodations and wonderful property

We chose this accommodation for its closeness to Beach and Central Avenue. It was a quick walk to restaurants, bars, cute shops and the water. The flat has two extremely comfortable bedrooms with private, well equipped bathrooms. Each bathroom contains double sinks, one an oversized claw foot tub and the other has an oversized shower with dual shower heads with four separate settings. Very nice!! The living room is comfortable, the dining room table large and accommodating, the kitchen is fully stocked with a full sized frig, stove, microwave and dishwasher. We did not use the washer/dryer but they are available. The back patio contains tables and chairs with umbrellas, which are perfect to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The neighborhood is quiet for a restful nights sleep. All in all—perfect and very enjoyable!! Our host checked on us several times to make sure we were happy and satisfied. Truly 5 star service.

Great house and location

Really enjoyed the very near downtown historic home. We rented the first floor. Nicely updated. One house away from a great park (Round Lake Park). Great wood floors, well furnished and had everything we needed. Nice outside areas. We could easily walk to commercial areas as well as the ten or so minutes to downtown waterfront. Hadn't been to downtown St Pete in awhile. It has changed. The parks, Central Ave, waterfront and the recently redone Pier are tremendous. Note that there are a lot of multi-rental unit houses in the area of this house and parking is primarily on the street. We could find a space very near house in the morning but evenings its packed and you may be a couple blocks away. Not an issue for us but worth noting. Would certainly stay again.

Nice but does not sleep 6

this is a nice unit in a great location. however, the ad says it sleeps 6 - but that is with a couch and a small blow up air mattress. Only one shower, the other is a tub. Kitchen and outside area is nice but shared. No grill even though the ad says there is one as well. And not nearly enough towels - they give you one per person. The remodeled bathroom is nice. Good place to stay for two couples or 4 people who can share rooms and bathrooms.

Hi Melinda Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately we cant help you with what we dont know. We have a full time manager on site and quick message to us could have made your stay so much more comfortable. We have accommodated 6 people on many occasions. The sofa is a sleeper sofa that pulls out to a queen bed and has a full set of linens and extra towels in it. If there were not enough towels we could have easily dropped some more off for you. The grill is still under the staircase in its cover and we could easily have pointed it out to you. I am sure you meant the outside area and deck are shared as the kitchen is most definitely not shared. Its unfortunate that you felt it was only a 3 star stay but with a quick message, we know we could have made it a 5 star stay like so many of our guests enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Bendall

Host profile image
We’re a local, family-run business behind Hey Vacay Rentals, and we take pride in creating clean, comfortable spaces that are easy to enjoy.

The Banyan House has been thoughtfully set up for real travel—especially for couples, families, and small groups who want both shared space and privacy. We’ve designed it so everyone can relax, settle in, and feel at home.

We live nearby and are always available if needed, while keeping things simple and unobtrusive so you can enjoy your stay at your own pace.

We love St. Pete and are happy to share our favorite local spots—from coffee and restaurants to parks and things to do.

Why they chose this property

We chose Uptown because it offers the perfect mix of charm, walkability, and location. It’s one of St. Petersburg’s most established historic neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and a relaxed, residential feel.

What we love most is how easy it is to enjoy the area without needing a car. You can walk to parks, coffee shops, and local spots, while still being just minutes from downtown, the waterfront, and Central Avenue.

It feels quiet and local, but you’re never far from everything that makes St. Pete special—which makes it a great home base whether you’re here for a few days or a longer stay.

What makes this property unique

What makes this space unique is its layout—it’s designed with two full king suites, each with its own private bathroom. That means couples or travel companions can stay together without anyone sacrificing comfort or privacy, which is surprisingly hard to find.

The apartment is part of a larger historic property, giving it a more spacious and residential feel than a typical rental, while still offering the independence of a private, self-contained stay.

You also have access to outdoor spaces that are uncommon in this area, including a private front porch and a shared garden deck—perfect for relaxing outside in a walkable neighborhood setting.

Being located directly next to a park with a pond and the city’s landmark banyan tree adds a sense of openness and greenery that’s rare this close to downtown.

Altogether, it’s a combination of equal private suites, historic character, and location that makes this a comfortable and unique stay for couples and small groups.
