There is a totally separate parking area and gated entrance into the cottages' fully fenced in, private patio area that is surrounded by lush gardens and tall palms.

Private paradise
Great little cottage with a beautiful patio that is very private surrounded by a nice wooden fence so you feel secure and private. Nice place to sit and have a drink and chat with family. Also close to downtown restaurants and fast food eating. Host was very helpful with my booking and enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful Cottage
Our first experience using Vrbo was an amazing one. The cottage is absolutely beautiful. It has a private outside area, and inside is decorated with care. It is nestled so close to the city, that everything around you is easily accessible. There is a park only a couple of minutes away near the ocean. Joan, the host, is incredibly kind and attentive. I cannot recommend this stay enough. My husband and I are already looking forward to our next stay!

About the host

Hosted by The Lavan's

Host profile image
For well over a hundred years our family has always lived in small towns near rivers, lakes, or the ocean.
Our family has also loved being close to big cities, with all that they have to offer. We are originally from Philadelphia, and the surrounding area, specifically Bucks County, as well as the Cape May N.J. area.
Upon relocating to Florida over 20 years ago, we continued the tradition, and moved to St. Augustine, Fl. within walking distance to the Atlantic ocean with its wide white sand beaches and historic district.
After our daughter graduated from UF we relocated to St Petersburg, Fl. which offered the best of both worlds...a big, beautiful city, gorgeous beaches, and as an added bonus a beautiful Bay at the end of our street.

Why they chose this property

Bay Cottage is located in the middle of St Pete's "Old Southeast " neighborhood which runs right along the beautiful shores of Tampa Bay. This charming neighborhood features cobblestone streets and an eclectic mix of homes that showcase numerous styles and designs, such as historic homes, mansions, small cottages, sleek, ultra modern designs, and everything in between.

The location is an easy 4 min drive into downtown St. Pete. And for those more adventurous types, the downtown area is also an easy bike ride or electric scooter ride away.

What makes this property unique

Bay Cottage is a totally private and completely separate small guest house with a beautiful, fenced in and completely private, 20' by 25' terrace that is surrounded by tall palms and lush gardens. The perfect oasis from which you can either relax and recharge, or work remotely in a quiet, convenient location that is close to everything.
