Private resort-style waterfront oasis

Great house in a perfect location with water, beach and restaurants all walking distance. Fishing and kayaking from the dock in the backyard was awesome! Tons of wildlife with dolphins, manatees, lizards and birds to entertain for hours. Hosts Kevin, Mariana and Andrew were super responsive and helpful with the house and area recommendations. Can’t wait to go back!!!

This property is the perfect location, the house was big, spacious and spotless. The property manager Kevin brought my grown boys ( in their 20’s) over fishing poles on Christmas Day. They fished their little hearts out on that dock catching catfish, salt water trout, blow fish, a humongous crab and a hammer head shark. They had so much fun fishing it was hard to get them to leave the house. We will definitely book this home again. Thank you Again Kevin for taking the time to bring those fishing poles over on Christmas Day. They really made the vacation for us, un-expectedly. =)

A perfect oasis for both relaxation and entertaining, and in every aspect a cozy home away from home.

My husband & I spent two weeks at this lovely home in its amazing location. We had the best holiday as the house had everything we could possibly need, and there was just so much to see and do in the area. The outlook was like paradise, and with the pool and hammock we could want for nothing. The house was so nicely presented. The owners had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make sure all our needs were met. We had friends come and stay and they all felt the same. I would highly recommend this property to couples or families as there is a wonderful beach, fishing, good restaurants close by and at St Pete, and the wonderful Salvador Dali museum.

Rented plenty of houses in the past, but this one surpassed all expectations. Beautiful, large with room for everyone. Right on the water and close to everything. Will be going back!

This is a very comfortable bungalow with well stocked dishes cookware, glasses etc. It's a convenient location to walk to the beaches and restaurants. The view of the inland waterway in the backyard is great and the dock is a good place to watch birds and dolphins. The beach chairs provided were an extra bonus for the beach! The welcome information package was very comprehensive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay ( a family of 5 adults).

The property was very well kept. The back yard is wonderful, with the private beautiful pool and the fishing dock on the inter coastal. There was no shortage of marine life and boats, which was always fun to see. The kitchen was well stocked and the layout of the house was nice. Our main complaint was the “bigger” bedroom, which essentially is an add on room that houses all the electricals and air units along with the washer/dryer. That room stays much warmer than the rest of the house, especially if any laundry has been done, and made for sleeping hot as well the constant noise of the on and off of the air units. The “bedroom with the view” is nice but small and you have to go out of your room to get to the bathroom. Overall, the house was great and the close proximity to restaurants, beach, and stores was an added bonus. The owners were easy to get in touch with and responded in a timely manner.

We stayed here for two months during home renovations. House is very clean and cozy. Loves the location....very quiet street and close to downtown. The view/backyard/pool is amazing. My kids loved fishing off the dock. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend!

We were there in mid-March 2017: 6 middle-aged siblings who left our spouses at home to enjoy some quality family time. The house could not have been more perfect. Located on a quiet street with a waterfront view facing east, we relished the sunrise every morning with coffees on the deck. The kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything needed for meals, and the outdoor grill was a bonus. A Sunday market a short walk from the house provided us with fresh bread and produce; several cute restaurants were also within walking distance. We hardly used our rental car. Dolphins, pelicans and various birds kept us entertained as we northerners basked in much needed sunshine and light breezes. The owners were instantly available for Q's and very responsive but nothing was needed during our stay. Parts of Fla can be quite busy with tourists and traffic but this little gem is hidden on a quiet street, just perfect for rest and relaxation. We hit the St. Pete beaches only once because patio, pool and lovely waterfront view (with hammock!) were so peaceful we didn't need to leave home to have fun. Highly recommended for folks who seek a well appointed home that provides a quiet oasis in which to refresh and recharge.

It’s a quick ride from the Tampa airport and a perfect location from the beach and Downtown St. Pete’s. Once we arrived, Kevin the home manager gave us a warm welcome and a tour of what the home had to offer. Right when you walk in, the backyard steals the show. It’s a great yard for a big group to grill, enjoy the pool, the grass space, and lounge on the pool chairs- all at once. There's a wonderful large table outside where you can set up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wildlife WILL pass by (took selfies with some of the birds). The inside of the home is decorated beautifully and has everything you need. The beds are well equipped and if you need more sheets, pillows, or blankets- you’ll find them in the closets. The living room area is also great and has a comfortable sofa. As for the kitchen, AMAZING! You’ll find enough room to cook and all kitchen essentials are provided. The home was EXTREMELY clean and well kept. If you ever want to pick up a few things from a supermarket or drug store you’ll find them nearby (walking distance). Chill, a restaurant a few blocks away has a great Sunday brunch selection with a buffet and live music. The 5 of us truly enjoyed our stay at Hammock Bay and I know you will too! Highly recommend and will book again!
