We are approved by the City of St Pete Beach for short-term rentals. ---------------------------------------- The Bayside Bungalow has French doors that open off the bedroom onto your own private deck surrounded by palm trees and flowers. Breakfast outside, grill dinner on our BBQ, or just read in the lazy afternoon on our spacious new deck. The bedroom is bright and airy with a new queen-sized bed and French doors that allow in evening air. An overhead fan reduces the need for the new AC unit. If the mood strikes, bedside are the switches for the garden accent lights around the deck. The pretty bedroom has light wicker furniture, a closet, flat screen TV and Blu-Ray DVD player. Of course, fine linens and plush towels are provided.

A small glass-top table in the kitchen is fine for eating. You may also choose to eat out on the deck where a table and chairs provide a private eating and relaxing area. Next to the deck, there is a gas grill for BBQs. Nearby, Shaner's is a great place to get some fantastic meat or fish for grilling or a hot sandwich.

Why Choose Us and This location: * Clean, well maintained, nicely decorated, well supplied, friendly, experienced hosts. * This is an updated historic house on the ground floor with beautiful gardens. * This is not a condo. * It is on a quiet street, steps from the beach entrance. * A storm in the Fall of 2023 wiped out the dunes and beach on the lower 1/3 of Pass-a-grille. Although the City trucked in sand from a quarry in the middle of Florida and planted sea oats and sea grapes, it will look pretty ugly for years. We are in the middle of the section that was not affected. Our dunes and beach are still natural. * The beach access on the end of our street is wide and easy to traverse. Turn left (south) and you are on the public beach. Turn right (north) and you are on the wider, beautiful private beach you are free to use with less crowds and miles of walking. * We are one of only 14 properties permitted by the City to do short term rentals in the residential zones of Pass-a-grille. * We take loving care of our property. It is up-to-date and nicely decorated. * We have been renting for 20+ years and many guests return year after year.
