Inn on the Beach - 18+ only

10/10 Excellent

"Super great location right across the beach. I stayed in Orange Blossom, had dishes, a cooler, robes, a fridge…really great amenities, plenty of beach chairs"

SkyBeach Resort

8/10 Good

"We liked quite a bit about the property. There were a lot of amenities and really cool things to do and unique and private places to sit and have serenity and everything was beautifully appointed. The rooms were a bit dated, but we hardly spend any time in the rooms anyway. The restaurant and the coffee shop were delightful and the furniture and fencing and decks and buildings were all in top notch."

Bay Palms Waterfront Resort - Hotel and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We travel with our dog and this hotel allows pets. The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful. We would stay there again."

Gulf Strand Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our partial ocean view room felt almost like a full ocean view. The property was quiet and comfortable. The beach access was top notch! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely stay there again."

Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg Tierra Verde

8/10 Good

"We spent one evening. The staff were very friendly and polite. They truly seemed interested in accommodating our needs. The room was clean and comfortable. There are only two elevators and one of them was out of service for our entire stay which was inconvenient. The room had an individual air conditioning unit. Due to the age of the technology we woke up every time the air came on but it worked great. The view from our room was spectacular. We would stay here again. Overall a very positive experience."
