THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Your home away from home is just steps from St. Petersburg's popular Beach Drive which anchors downtown shopping, dining, and entertainment districts.
The St. Pete Pier is a must see while you are visiting! It is a 13 minute walk or a 3 minute drive to the pier from our home. If you prefer to rent a bike or scooter, it takes about 4 minutes to arrive at the Pier. *Parking can be challenging so I would not recommend driving to the Pier.
We are only a 15-20 minute drive from The Gulf of Mexico and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Our lovely home offers an authentic taste of what St. Pete has to offer right outside your door.
