The house is darling and surprisingly larger inside than it looks from the road. The location was within walking distance to the St. Pete waterfront and it was a pleasure walking through the charming neighborhood. Important to me, the kitchen was very well equipped! Thank you hosts, well done!

Great location, comfortable accommodations
We loved this two bedroom two bath for its spacious layout compared to many bungalows in the Old NE neighborhood. The front sun room was perfect for my husband to set up and use his computer during our 12 day visit. I also loved sitting there for morning sun on days too cool for outdoor sipping of my tea. A very short walk to the north shore park…maybe 10 min? Also easily walkable to the farmer’s market and St. Pete pier. Super clean & nicely furnished with extras like a generous welcome bag of Starbucks coffee, salt, pepper, some spices, and oils, beach chairs, a cooler and sand toys, first aid kit, etc.We enjoyed grilling on the gas grill, and cooked most of our meals for our group in the kitchen, and found everything we needed for meal prep. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to St. Pete..my favorite location of four rentals we have tried!

Best VRBO yet!
This cottage was the perfect place for my husband and me to explore and enjoy St Petersburg. The cottage was comfortable, immaculate and stocked with everything we could need. Coffee on the front porch was the best way to start the day and then we walked everywhere we wanted to go. Thank you, Joy, for our wonderful vacation.

Blues Festival
The home was the perfect location for attending the Tampa Bay Blues Festival. Joy was so good to us even allowing us to leave our suitcases in the back room after checkup. We had a later flight that day so we were able to enjoy the day without lugging our suitcases around. We really appreciated her kindness.

Another fantastic stay
We have stayed at this property multiple times and love it! Super location that is a short walk to the bay and to downtown. The house is a great size for a family, especially with two full bathrooms and two good-sized bedrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need. It's nicely decorated and gets plenty of natural light. I have no doubt we'll be staying here again.

Our family of 5 stayed in this adorable home to be close to a swim meet that our teenagers had. The home is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. It’s a perfect location for walking to restaurants and even a “mini beach” nearby. Parks and just nice outdoor places everywhere. Host was perfect- responsive but not intrusive. We loved our stay here and would recommend to anyone looking at staying in St. Pete.

Exceptional Property & Perfect Location
A clean, comfortable , quiet, and roomy bungalow style home in one of the nicest neighborhoods in St. Petersburg. Property is well suited for two people or two couples or a smaller family. It is in a safe, established neighborhood within walking distance of downtown and the perfect "home base" for visitors that want to explore the area and then settle in for a quiet evening. I highly recommend this fantastic property!
