About this property

La Tortuga Historic Downtown Pass A Grille St Pete Beach 1

Introducing our captivating new addition, La Tortuga Boutique Vacation Rentals, nestled in the heart of historic Downtown Pass-a-Grille. This enchanting 1925 building, once known as the Marine Apartments, a parking lot, and a verdant event space, has undergone a lavish transformation, emerging as the crowning jewel of 8th Ave – the smallest beach downtown in America!

As you step into your suite, you'll be greeted by brand-new furnishings that were meticulously curated. Freshly painted walls exude a pristine charm, while our resplendent Miami Dade pine hardwood floors have been lovingly sanded, buffed, and polished to unveil their original splendor. Smart flat-screen TVs grace the rooms, equipped with Hulu for your evening or rainy-day entertainment. In our kitchenettes, you'll find retro mini-fridges or full refrigerators, stoves, ovens, Keurig coffee makers, toasters, blenders, and a complete array of kitchenware, catering to both short- and long-term stays.

This particular unit resides on the second floor and beckons you to climb a flight of stairs for an exquisite getaway. Each suite boasts a commodious full-size bathroom, complete with a blow dryer, iron, ironing board, and a luggage rack. For ultimate comfort and tranquility, blackout shades conceal behind bamboo blinds, ensuring restful nights and rejuvenating afternoon siestas.

La Tortuga offers three outdoor sanctuaries for you to revel in. The upstairs balcony entices you with four sumptuous sofa chairs and a generous flat-screen TV. Downstairs, a covered outdoor couch, an additional flat-screen TV, an outdoor dining table, and two inviting lounge chairs await your leisure.

But the centerpiece of our property is the sprawling main green event space, adorned with majestic royal palms that provide cooling shade to lounging areas equipped with Adirondack chairs and picnic tables. Large umbrellas offer further respite, making it the ideal setting for relaxation, whether you seek refuge from the summer sun or embrace it year-round. Please note that the Main Green Event Space might occasionally be reserved for private events, rendering it temporarily unavailable.

With one parking spot provided per unit and complimentary Wi-Fi, your comfort and convenience are our utmost priorities. Most of our units comfortably accommodate two adults, except for unit 8, which generously sleeps four.

For your peace of mind, we regret to inform you that we cannot accommodate pets. A signed contract and a valid ID are requisite for check-in, and for your safety, exterior cameras and shared hallway cameras diligently record audio and video 24/7. Please be mindful that climbing stairs may be necessary to access certain areas of the property.

Starting February 1, we're breaking ground on a new heated pool to elevate your stay with us. This addition reflects our ongoing commitment to providing top-notch amenities and a comfortable vacation experience. While we aim to complete the project by March 31, please note that dates may change due to external factors like weather conditions. We're dedicated to a high-quality construction process, and adjustments to the timeline may be necessary to address any unforeseen challenges. Thank you for your understanding and anticipation during this exciting upgrade!


Should you wish to enhance your stay with a golf cart, we offer these amenities for a nominal fee. We are overjoyed to welcome you as our esteemed guests to our boutique vacation rentals, where you can walk to local restaurants, shops, bars, the beach, and Merry Pier.

Don't hesitate to inquire about renting the entire property for a special event, be it a reception, anniversary celebration, or corporate retreat.

Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the washer and dryer occupy the second floor, requiring stairs for access. Units 6, 7, 8, and 9 reside on the ground level. Please be aware that none of our suites are ADA compliant, as the building is a cherished relic from 1925, steeped in historical significance in Pass-a-Grille, Florida.

Hotel rental for wedding
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented all units and adjacent property to host our family and our wedding venue. The room’s themselves are beautiful and the location at the top of 8th and across Merry Pier makes it central and easy for a walkable trip. Through the tech travel team we also added a golf cart which really rounded out the trip for guests that can’t easily walk.Admittedly we ran into a timing issue with the pool install being in progress during the wedding but Vivienne and Brandon gave us a beautiful option of the neighboring property for our we’d which worked out perfect!It was a beautiful experience.

Charming and CLEAN
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: La Tortuga was clean, the decor was contemporary and inviting, and the mattress was outstanding. The space included a cooler, beach chairs and picnic table. The kitchen appliances were stylish and had a retro vibe that matched the house, but the refrigerator was small... not a deal breaker by any means, but just a heads up. Bathroom in suite #1 was also quite small, also not a deal breaker. This is a true beach rental, but was not shabby; everything was new and very clean. We would stay here again. Location was perfect and in the heart of PAG.
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: this property appeared to be an older, repainted tenement. The bathroom in this property was more suited to be a smallish broom closet more suitable for little people. grossly overpriced for what it is. The "instructions" for the use of this property was an impersonal, demanding tutorial.
