Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Upham Beach Park

We loved staying at Kathy’s place. It was a wonderful oasis, with a beautiful and relaxing pool area. We ran into Kathy’s brother Jim multiple times while outside and got great recommendations for things to do in the area (Get Up and Go kayaking at Shell Key Preserve!!) and also asked to make sure our stay was top notch. They had nice chairs, umbrellas, and a few tents that can be used for your beach trips (we used the chairs and umbrella, which are essential). Bonus points for being super walkable to the beach *and* all the restaurants/bars in the area.

Me and two friends had the most amazing stay here! The beach was a super easy walk and there were many walkable restaurants and bars. The hotel was super clean, had everything you could need, and the bed was very comfortable. We also really enjoyed the cute courtyard right outside. It was a perfect spot to enjoy morning breakfast! Hosts and crew were super friendly and responsive and helped us get any extra necessities. We couldn’t be more appreciative of the experience!

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 had an incredible time staying at Kathy’s place in St. Pete Beach. The location of the bnb was perfect walking distance to the beach and plenty of food spots. We also visited Zoo Tampa, downtown St. Petersburg and other local attractions that were all within a reasonable driving distance. The beach was beautiful, crystal clear water and was very clean. The unit itself was clean, the pool was awesome and we felt like it provided everything we needed for our little getaway from Philly. Thanks again for hosting us :)

Very beautiful view from our room! We will be returning!

Excellent location, room (901) had a view of the beach and is within walking distance to all major attractions. Room was clean and had a great rooftop bar (great place to view the sunset). Lauren was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions we had. Overall, great place to stay on Clearwater Beach.

I’ve stayed at Clearwater a few time and this place has to be one of my favorite. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

Great location, beautiful view, spacious, and awesome rooftop bar. Hope to stay again next time I’m in Clearwater.

I really enjoyed staying here. It was a perfect walking distance to the beach and a lot of great beach bars and restaurants. It was clean and was spot on with the description and pictures provided. The surrounding area was safe and I felt comfortable walking places alone. The bathroom and kitchen were super clean as well.
