About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beaches are open!!! Come stay at theBeach!

Four bedrooms with three queen beds and one king. Also there is a fold out couch in the secondary entertainment room and one of the bed rooms also has a child's race car bed. So there are beds for 11 people. Pass a Grille is the community that begins at the famous Don Cesar Hotel and extends one mile south where it ends at the mouth of the ocean inlet. This area is free of large hotels and condos. It is the best family beach with fewer people and none of the Spring Break party feel that the beaches further north often have. There are no chain restaurants or shops in Pass A Grille. The restaurants are unique, mom and pop places, run by the owners. Our newly remodeled home is just a short walk to beautiful Pass A Grille Beach. It has unbelievable views of the gulf of Mexico and pass a grille inlet. Located in the timeless pass-a-grille historic district of st. Pete beach, our large beach home features 10 ft. High ceilings, delightful front and back porches, hard wood flooring, and an outdoor lanai area with a beautiful view of the water..

We have two kayaks that you are welcome to use and I might be able to give you and your family a boat ride if I am in town. In the home there are 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. The kitchen is beautiful with granite countertops and high end sub zero fridge and large gas stove. There are three large flat screen wall mounted televisions. There is secure parking inside the garage with room for one car and room for two more cars in the driveway.

You won't be able to miss the cool gulf breezes and unbelievable florida sunsets in this home. Walk a couple of blocks and discover fun island-themed restaurants and shops along 8th avenue.

Pass-a-grille beach is a wide sandy beach that stretches several miles along the gulf. If you walk south you will hit the rock jetty on pass-a-grille pass where the gulf meets the pass a grille inlet. If you head north about a mile along the beach you will be at the famous pink don cesar hotel where you can enjoy your favorite drink by the pool or enjoy a romantic dinner at one of the don's world-class restaurants.

Although you have easy access to local entertainment, this is a surprisingly private home, with a glorious location in the heart of pass-a-grille. The community features include tennis courts, a community center, shuffleboard, the trolley line, beachfront, inter coastal waterway, playgrounds, basketball courts, and parks. We do not have a pool at the house, but there are many close by hotels and resorts which allow the public to use their pools.

Terrific VaCa Location & Home
We just spent a month there. All the other great reviews can be repeated over and over. Owner is very accommodating with questions or anything you need. Historic Pass A Grille Beach area is such a great place to be and this home is in the perfect location. Its the center of fun. Very comfortable living and the views and atmosphere of the area are amazing. Beach, restaurants, shops are within arms length. We visit and love the St Pete area and we found a gem of a place to be. Will be back to stay again each year. Thank you Tim for sharing your home.

Incredible stay
This house is so much better than the photos. It’s a beautiful sun filled house with plenty of space to spread out. The location is superb - two blocks to the beautiful beach, and a quick drive or 20 min walk to ice cream and other spots on 8th Ave. The house is well stocked, though I’d suggest bringing your own soap/shampoo/etc, as those aren’t provided. Otherwise, there’s everything you’d need or want. Enjoy!

Perfect location and room for everyone
This home has everything you need for a large family or group to enjoy. Very spacious and comfortable, beautifully decorated and a prime location right on the water. Restaurants and a convenience store are right across the street. The perfect beach access is about six houses away. Not that you want to leave the house with fishing off of the two docks in your backyard and a comfortable hangout space under the house away from the sun. The fish tank was a huge hit with the adults and kids alike. Kitchen fully equipped, large oversized bedrooms and baths so everyone had their own space. Owner was awesome to work with when we needed to add an extra day and honestly wished we could have stayed longer! Truly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Gracious Host - Perfect Home - Incredible Location
Beautiful 3 story home, plenty of room to host family reunion type trip. Close to everything, beach, restaurants, pickleball, docks and central Pass- a- Grille. Hosts makes you feel very welcomed in their home with the many amenties allowed for use, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys etc. I will definitely consider another family reunion trip to this beautiful home. Our trip was easy due to the spaciousness and floorplan, allowing for differnt family activities taking place at the same time in the home. You really do not want to miss the opportunity to stay in this beautiful, centrally located home in Passe a Grille!

Perfect House for a Beach Vacation
This house is perfect for large groups. We had grandparents and aunts and uncles with us and each family was able to have an area for themselves. I think the 3rd floor has the best view on the island; its 270 degrees of water. The beach is a quick block away and the house comes with chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and a wagon. There are great beach bars right next door that are not loud at night and the fish tank is an extra bonus. We will be back!

Beautiful house on the perfect corner!
We spent a full month renting this house and the location of this house was truly perfect. It's on a corner that includes a coffee shop, three restaurants, and two markets, and just a block from the beach! The balance of beauty and convenience was exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of space in the house for my family of 4, my sister's family of 4 to visit from St. Pete periodically, and for other family to visit us during our long stay. The house had everything we needed and more. The housekeeper, property owner, and property manager were all easily accessible and eager to help make the stay great. Overall, such an amazing find and a place that we'd definitely rent again in the future!

Great location! Beautiful house!
We had a great vacation at this property! The location was excellent! It’s a short 2 minute walk to the beach. The beach was never crowded and we loved that! We also were able to walk to restaurants near by. The property truly felt like home away from home. The layout was perfect for our family with older kids. We could all gather and hang out in the comfy family room area or everyone had plenty of room in their bedrooms for time to their self. The boys really enjoyed fishing off the dock and even caught a bunch of fish! In addition my daughter even had fun feeding the fish in the fish tank every day. They were beautiful and fun to look at. Overall the house was just what we wanted for our vacation. It was a very nice, well kept property and had everything we needed. We had a very memorable vacation there and would definitely return! I would highly recommend this property and location!

Great Place at a Great Place
This was one of 2 houses we rented for a 50th Anniversary Surprise Party, total of 16 adults and 6 children. We pulled it off, they didn't suspect a thing! (The event was at a venue, not either house...) Lots of space here, both in the common areas, and the upper floor suites. The main floor has two bedrooms and share a bathroom. Perfect for the family with a 7-year old and an infant. Place is well supplied with linens/towels, pots, pans. etc., everything you need. Feeding the fish daily was a highlight for the kids (the adult kids too). Birds/dolphins, a manatee(!) were spotted and plenty of beach equipment for everyone at the house. Short walk to the beach. Pass-A Grille is a laid-back place that doesn't seem to ever get super busy. We ate across the street several times! Literally hundreds of places to eat and see and go to within a short ride. Including FreeRide! Given the opportunity, I would stay here again.

Magnificent Milestone Celebration
We celebrated a milestone birthday with family and this home helped make it extra special. Prior to staying our host’s communication was outstanding and even before arriving demonstrated gracious hospitality. They provided everything and more that we needed. Great place to gather from grilling outside to family dinner inside. This home can accommodate an extended family gathering also allowing great personal privacy when needed. Then there is the location! The water and beautiful from the dock and the beach, restaurants and shops within walking distance created a remarkably memorable vacation. I cannot say enough great things about our stay and our host. I highly recommend.
