We enjoyed our stay. Small but comfortable for 2 adults in the historic district. We were able to walk to St Pete’s pier. Numerous coffee shops within walking distance. Enjoyed the complimentary coffee and nutrigrain bars. Lisa also had a great resource book with lots of information on the area as well as suggestions for restaurants and things to do.

The property was comfortable, well appointed and well located. The owner was awesome, responding quickly to questions and very attentive.

Saint Petersburg Carriage House

Such a dynamite property, location, and compound. Lisa, the owner, was dynamite to deal with, and the house was very clean. The salt water dip pool was fantastic as was the location to downtown. We would stay here again for sure.

Very clean and decorated nicely with everything you would need for a comfortable stay and everything you would need for a day at the beach; bikes, chairs, towels etc. There is a back entrance I recommend using, easier entrance especially when there are cars parked in the driveway. The check in instructions might’ve said that, but to be honest.. I’m not reading all that. I skimmed and looked for the code to get in and that’s all I needed. There were too many emails, with too many paragraphs, that weren’t specific to my booking that lost my attention.. but that might be just fine for the detail oriented. Overall, I would come back during a longer stay to take advantage of all the amenities.

The carriage house was wonderful... great location, exceptionally clean. Lisa was quick to respond with a few questions I had. The extra little things... make up wipes, Brita water pitcher, pop tarts, fruit snacks - that was great being that I didn't arrive until late Sunday night. The pool was lovely and relaxing with the waterfall. Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure!

Small but efficient. Has a well stocked kitchen. Good cookware. Cute place to sit outside. Wonderful neighborhood to just walk around. It was just me (53 year old woman) and I felt safe. Designated Parking place is a little tight but not a problem finding parking. THANKS!
