The Tampa International Airport is just 30 minutes away and the airport limo will drop you at our door. Great seafood restaurants, a large deli, and a marina are within two blocks. The historic Eighth Avenue Pass-a-Grille shopping district, fishing, and restaurants are a 15 minute walk south on the beach, and the beautiful Don Cesar Hotel and Beach Resort is a 15 minute walk north on the beach. Boats to Shell Island and Egmont Key, deep sea fishing, dolphin and sunset tours are just a 15 minute walk away at the Merry Pier. The Tourist Trolley stops a block away, giving easy access to all of St.

Golf: The cottage is hidden in foliage....a jungle of tropical plants! With a cathedral ceiling, the warm glow of varnished pine paneling, 'heart of pine' wood floors, and a few oriental rugs, this is a very private and cozy place to stay. The House, Master Suite and Cottage are fully furnished and each has cable TV. Central air and heat are in the main house and apartment and there is a wall unit in the cottage. There are numerous indoor ceiling fans and there are outdoor overhead fans on the main deck. All linens are provided and we have a laundry room with two large washers and dryer. The three kitchens are fully equipped and have microwaves, toasters and coffeemakers. Local managers, Rosemary and John Quinlan, live nearby for advice and assistance (St. Pete Beach, Florida).

Guest Book: Pete, Treasure Island, Madeira, Redington Shores, and Clearwater Beaches. Tours pickup at the Don Cesar Hotel for all major Tampa Bay and central Florida theme parks and attractions. The world famous Fort DeSoto National Park - always rated among the 'Top Ten' Beaches in America - is immediately to the south of our island. We have a two story tree house and jungle gym for children to enjoy. The Mountcastles are working overseas with their five children, five to eleven years old. This property is child friendly. Families are welcome!! Our idea of a great day starts with a 15 minute walk down the beach or down the seawall on the intercoastal waterway (Pass-a-Grille is only one block wide!) to the quaint Seahorse Restaurant for breakfast... morning paper, seagulls screaming, and salt air - cannot be beat!! A lazy day on the beach is always a delight. A soak in the hot tub and an afternoon nap in the shade in your own tropical garden is truly relaxing.
