Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Hillsborough County

Kathy was an amazing host! Room was extremely clean! Kathy went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We will be back!

This stay had everything I needed for a quick couple of days away! Location is everything. Easily walkable to Upham Beach which I adore. The place was clean, pool was great, and I felt safe even though I was alone. Plenty of towels, extra toilet paper, kitchen pluses like coffee maker and small appliances. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Kathy could not have been a more accommodating host allowing me an earlier check in time and later checkout due to my flight times. It was so nice being able to come back and grab a quick shower after the beach the day I was leaving. This place is an excellent VALUE! Thank you Kathy!!!

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

We love St. Pete Beach Suites! Great social spaces, including cornhole and giant Connect Four were fun for our kids. Nice heated pool and easy walk to the beach.

If you’re questioning staying here, question no more! We had the absolute best time. We were able to walk to all the fun restaurants and the beach! They provide everything you could need for the perfect beach day. It’s a $10 Uber ride to Johns Pass and Treasure Island. The bed was cozy and the shower had great water pressure. It was clean and felt like a home away from home. We will be back!

We chose to stay at The Resort at the last minute and it turned out to be the best possible choice. I’m wheelchair dependent and although not ADA compliant (the host let me know beforehand) the space fit my needs. Fit it so much that we extended the stay!

The place was very cozy and the hosts were fantastic and had great communication. It was a great location- quiet but still 10 mins walk from beach. The dock was a nice relaxing touch in the backyard

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!

Gorgeous patio and pool! Nice and private. Felt safe with cameras and fire extinguishers. Had ice ready and coffee with creamer always available. Host was friendly and personable. Beautiful designs for each room. Definitely plan to come back for fun and relaxation. Good for time with friends and plan to come back for couples trip. Spacious room. Extra Cups and towels without needing to ask. Really enjoyed the house and stay!

The Blue Bayou was the perfect place for our stay in Tarpon Springs! Short walk to everything and the locals are very friendly. The room met all of our needs and the steam shower was amazing. The hosts were very responsive and provided clear instructions throughout the process. This place is a gem!

Nice location Other guest were friendly Home and kitchen had all you needed

We liked being able to walk to lots of places, and were able to do some laundry. The shower was fantastic, the only thing I would add is a bench or suitcase holder so you don't have to put your luggage on the floor. It's difficult for most older folks to stoop down on the floor to get stuff out of their suitcase.

The Blue Bayou is PERFECT for the solo traveler! You get the "feeling" of a beautiful home and its public spaces and the efficiency of your private room. I rented room #5 which met my needs but I can't imagine having a second person in that room. The owner has certainly put much thought into the layout... but beware that there's not space to layout a suitcase (other than the floor) there's not a special shelf or area for your personal supplies and there is not a chair to sit on (just the bed). but OH MY LORDY! The walk-in shower is absolutely AMAZING!!!! Very spa and boutique-feeling! The Blue Bayou is only a block or two from the historic downtown Tarpon Springs. Awesome choice of restaurants and shoppes. I VERY MUCH enjoyed my stay at the Blue Bayou and would definitely stay here again.

We felt right at home with private room/bath and access to common areas with multiple seating areas, a large well maintained deck/patio, safe parking with a designated spot, TV’s, a game cabinet, access to washer/dryer, coffee pot, stove, fridge, dishes. Everything we needed. Everything was as listed and as shown in the pictures.
