Beautiful place, great location to enjoy all St. Pete offers. Highly recommended for access to downtown, restaurants, museums. Walk or take nearby public transit to Pier, beach, and more! Easy nearby parking too. All the little extras are provided in this apartment that is thoughtfully decorated and furnished.

I had a great day in this house. I’m working in the area so the location was perfect for me and I was able to stay 60 days. The host is very responsive and answered any questions quickly. I had no issues come up during my stay. I recommend this home for anyone who’s looking for a quiet retreat that is also close to the beaches, restaurants, and other amenities in the Saint Pete Clearwater area. I highly recommend the Seminole park, which is close by.

Sharon was extremely accommodating when I wanted to extend my stay by another week and move to a unit that had laundry (right next door), allowing me a later checkout from the one I was staying in and right into the new one.

Sharon was very responsive and helpful in coordinating a smooth check in. The property was as advertised and a perfect location for walking to Tropicana stadium. We will definitely be staying at Sharon's property for future baseball adventures!
