If you have decided to head to St. Pete Beach for your vacation this year, you certainly will not be disappointed by any of its numerous attractions. While the beaches are one of the biggest reasons visitors flock here for weeklong getaways, the numerous shops, manicured golf courses, and proximity to the theme parks of Tampa and Orlando make it an out of the way paradise that is perfect for rest and relaxation. Just imagine strolling down to the white sand beaches and soaking up the warm Florida sun under clear blue skies, and you can picture your St. Pete Beach vacation.

St. Pete Beach has an abundance of gorgeous beaches that line the shores of the warm, welcoming Gulf of Mexico. While sitting at the beach and feeling the gentle breeze off the water is a necessary part of any relaxing trip, you do not have to leave the beach behind when you retreat to your lodging. You can find a wide selection of vacation rentals that are ideally situated along the sandy beaches with breathtaking views of the water. Rather than staying in a cramped, cold hotel that you want to escape everyday, try a cozy, soothing condo or home rental that opens up to the world you want to explore.

Sports

When you choose St. Pete Beach over St. Petersburg, you are making a statement that you want to be near the water and experience the serenity of simply listening to the waves coming ashore. To get the most of our trip, search for vacation rentals with patios or balconies that open up to the water so you can enjoy a comfortable meal or a morning brew amongst surroundings that take your breath away. Whether you want to rest before retiring for the night or wake up to the sight of dolphins frolicking in the water, gulf views will help you achieve a more relaxed state throughout the duration of your trip.

Downtown St. Pete

Views of the water are great, but those who want to spend time not only looking at the water but also playing in it will want easy access to the pristine St. Pete Beach. When you stay directly on the water, all you have to do is step out your backdoor for a fun-filled day of swimming, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun with the entire family. Forget about dragging an entire day’s supplies with you since you can make trips to your accommodations throughout the day. Let the stress melt away as you no longer need to deal with the frustration of packing every possible item you may need throughout the day when you stay in a conveniently located vacation rental.
