Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Pinellas County

First time staying here and it was exactly what we wanted. Walk to Upham Beach easily and tons of restaurants within a 10-15 walk as well. Great little room with everything we could need and even had chairs and umbrellas that we could bring with us to use at the beach. Loved everything!

This place is a gem if you appreciate the classic motel vibes and throwback to a more laid back era. All of the employees we interacted it with were friendly, funny, and helpful. There were a few times some other guests were bending rules and their responses really strike a great balance between addressing the violation without making anyone feel uncomfortable or defensive. The location was unbeatable - a direct walk out to the beach. The Happy Hour beer was no craft brew but honestly perfect for the beach, and ice cold to boot. Shuffleboard and corn hole added to the charm. Free parking right by our room made things easy. We also really appreciated the green efforts - real coffee mugs to grab some coffee and fixed shampoo/conditioner dispensers to avoid small bottle waste. If you’re a light sleeper note that ceilings aren’t super well insulated so we heard a lot of happy little feet running above us. For us, it was part of the charm, but it might not float everyone’s boat

Kathy and James were great hosts, on site and most helpful. They are proud of their Gulfside Resort and it shows through their commitment to details inside and out.

The location and apartment were great! Walking distance to the beach and local restaurants and shops. The apartment was comfortable and clean. It was a nice and quiet area which was appreciated after a long day at the beach. Looking forward to coming back another time!

Kathy and the Gulfside resort was a 10/10 for us!!! She greeted us and made us feel very welcome from the check in! Everything in our room was perfect! We absolutely loved how she had her own recommendations on what to do around St. Pete’s Beach! Our poolside room was amazing! Probably about a 3 minute walk from the beach which we absolutely loved! Definitely will be returning!

We loved the location, it’s quiet but you can walk back and forth to the beach! No worries about parking. The pool is pristine and lots of comfortable chairs and umbrellas, so you can sit out any time. It’s a wonderful atmosphere if you’re looking for a comfortable homey space. Great location close to roads to access stores and downtown museums. We were really happy with our experience, would definitely go again.

Everything was perfect! Gorgeous location and friendly staff.

It was a very nice place and right next to the beach . Very good location . Was very helpful with helping me with extra parking as well. Thank you .

This place was a gem and I am so happy we found it! I have 2 words for this listing. Steam Shower! I chose this room based on that huge steam shower. We arrived right at check in. The host had sent us very clear instructions and our code. With the easy instructions we got right in our room. Everything was clearly labeled. The bed in the room was lumpy and sunk in the middle, but who cares? That steam shower was a dream. I used it within an hour of checking in. The city was amazing, the restaurants and the sight seeing was incredible. But the absolute best was that shower! I showered 3 times in my 2 day stay. I can't say it enough, Steam Shower! It was so luxurious and I didnt really want to go back to real life after the stay at the Blue Bayou. We stayed here before our cruise. I wanted to cancel the cruise and just keep staying in that shower! We are planning a return trip. The rest of the home was super nice. We ate pizza on the porch in rocking chairs! Love this place so much!

The space was great, exactly as the pictures depicted. All the creature comforts of home. I walked to get my coffee from a small cafe in the mornings, close to lots of wonderful shops and restaurants. Melissa was very easy to communicate with and friendly. I will be back, 5 out of 5 stars across the board from me.

I'm so happy I found this place. I make this work trip every year and certainly plan to stay at the Blue Bayou from now on. The location is perfect. Most anything you need is in walking distance. My wife and I plan to come back again on a trip that I'm not working. Love Tarpon Springs and the surrounding area. We're considering moving here.

Always a pleasure to use the bicycles at the Blue Bayou to ride around when I’m in town, and Melissa and Savanah are always a text away with any questions.

My stay at Blue Bayou was brief—just one night—and I didn’t really use any of the common dining or kitchen areas. So, I can’t speak to those amenities, except to say they seemed well equipped and comfortable. But, the host accommodated my request to store my bike indoors, the large smart TV came in handy for a late night movie, and the in-room shower was cavernous with high water pressure. Check-in was super easy, and I had good local beers and food within a few minutes’ walk. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Excellent property! Great Location! Lovely pool and hot tub area. Will definitely return.

We will absolutely be back. We stay in the Coral Resort every year for the week of July 4. This has been one of our favorite rooms. Robert and Juana are extremely caring, accommodating, and responsive. Room has updated renovations and feels really private as well. Resort is close to so many restaurants and shops, walkable. Love staying on the bay and being an easy walk to the beach. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!

Perfect place for a stay with my dog. Close to everything but so quiet. Nice area to walk my dog. Comfortable bed. Friendly and accommodating host. I would definitely stay again.
