Private Cottage & Courtyard, 4 min drive to St Pete, Walk to Bay, 6 mi to Beach

Bay Cottage is a newly constructed, completely separate dwelling located on the back section of the property where the main house, an adorable vintage 1925 Victorian, is owner occupied.

There is a totally separate parking area and gated entrance into the cottages' fully fenced in, private patio area that is surrounded by lush gardens and tall palms.
The cottage has the ideal amount of space for one to two guests, as well as a dedicated off street parking spot that is right next to the Bay Cottage, and directly in front of the entrance gate.
She is a very modern dwelling with high vaulted ceilings throughout, an open floor plan, and ultra chic furnishings and decor, as well as lots of windows that allow plenty of natural light to shine in.
The large sliding glass doors open out onto the totally private, gorgeous patio area, which is surrounded by a high privacy fence, lush palms, and tropical plantings. This is the perfect setting to either work or play in total comfort and convenience. Your own personal oasis!

The main living area flows directly out through the sliding glass doors onto the large 20' x 25' totally private patio area that is surrounded by a high privacy fence. Where you can totally unwind either by sitting out in the early morning sun with a cup of coffee, or enjoying a glass of your favorite wine in the early evening as the sun goes down.

My boyfriend and I wanted a quick getaway somewhere we haven't been and St. Petersburg was a great area! Located in a quiet neighborhood, this little cottage was amazing. Nearby is a restaurant that's also an airport hangar and super cute! Amazing Stay.

Great little cottage with a beautiful patio that is very private surrounded by a nice wooden fence so you feel secure and private. Nice place to sit and have a drink and chat with family. Also close to downtown restaurants and fast food eating. Host was very helpful with my booking and enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful Cottage
Our first experience using Vrbo was an amazing one. The cottage is absolutely beautiful. It has a private outside area, and inside is decorated with care. It is nestled so close to the city, that everything around you is easily accessible. There is a park only a couple of minutes away near the ocean. Joan, the host, is incredibly kind and attentive. I cannot recommend this stay enough. My husband and I are already looking forward to our next stay!

A Beautiful Gem of a Stay
The property was spotlessly clean and perfectly appointed for us as we visited our daughter for Parent's Weekend at a local college. We appreciated the thought that was put in to making the property easy to be in, comfortable, and safe, and the owner responded promptly to a little problem we had with the shower and had it fixed within the day. I'd love to stay here again in the future.

Very Cozy Cottage
The cottage was exactly as we expected it to be, just like the listing indicates. It was the perfect size for two people. The bed was comfortable and the shower was perfect. We felt safe and relaxed while there. St. Pete Pier is not very far, and it's a nice area to walk around, enjoy dinner, with a gorgeous view of the water. Overall, our stay was very nice, and we would recommend the cottage to others.

We had a wonderful weekend in St. Pete. This property is a beautiful newly renovated garage that is very tastefully designed. Beautiful construction and finish work. Everything was exactly like the pictures. Excellent communication with the owner. We loved having our coffee outside in the private patio area. Everything you need is provided. Very comfortable bed. Will definitely be back.

Great Place to Stay!
Had a wonderful time! This is the perfect spot for 1 or 2 people in a charming quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from Lassing Park. It was well-equipped and immaculately clean! A favorite spot was the fenced-in patio area, which was a lovely, serene place to have our morning coffee. Joan provided easy-to-understand directions on how to access Wi-Fi and TV and was helpful in answering questions. The location also offered convenient driving access to downtown St. Pete's, other area beaches and towns, the Tampa airport and more. Would definitely stay here again!

Stay at the bay
My companion and I very much enjoyed our stay at the bay cottage in the old southeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg. This location was ideal and for the most part, the amenities inside the property met all our needs. The property provided excellent privacy and the area is filled with things to do. St. Petersburg is definitely a worthwhile destination! We experienced a few minor problems which require some attention, and our hostess Joan was quick to respond. She was very responsive to suggestions we made for improvement and pointed out that she is at the beginning of her time as a property manager and hostess. We wish her the best and recommend the bay cottage to anyone who enjoys the charm and feel of an old Florida neighborhood. As an added bonus, the beauty of the Bay is just a short walk away. Enjoy 😎

Wish I could give it 6 stars!
Such a lovely place in quiet St Pete neighborhood. Clean, modern, had everything we needed! One thing to note is that it's all one room (like a giant hotel room with private bath and closet), but it was perfect for our quiet, middle-aged getaway. We did need to uber everywhere, but St Pete downtown and St Pete beach is very close. Definitely worth it for the beautiful surroundings and peaceful oasis! Thanks to the host for a wonderful stay!

It felt like home!
I can’t say enough about how comfortable my stay was in St. Petersburg! I work offsite in Florida a lot and decided to use VRBO to find a location near my client. This cottage was perfect! It felt like being at home with all its modern appliances and nice outdoor space! And one thing I was worried about was the bed. I have back problems and many times the places have uncomfortable beds that exacerbate my back issues. The bed in this cottage was so comfortable! Icing on the cake for me. I’d definitely recommend to anyone traveling this way. I’ll be back for sure!!
