The building does not have an elevator. There is one permit for parking provided. Located just a short 2-minute walk from the beautiful St. Pete Beach white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. Recently selected as the country’s top beach destination and renowned for its jaw-dropping sunsets, St Pete Beach is an ideal vacation getaway. Many amenities in the area include boat rentals, bike rentals, para-sailing, stand-up paddle boards, fishing, dolphin watch cruises, jet skis, kayaks, and almost any water sport imaginable, plus shopping on Corey Ave and many fantastic restaurants. St. Pete Beach, the most southern link in a chain of barrier islands that make up the Tampa Bay Sun Coast, offers residents and visitors miles of pristine white sandy beaches bordering the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Previously known as St. Petersburg Beach, it has various accommodations, from large-scale resorts to classic Florida mom-and-pop vintage motels that bring back memories of old Florida. The city was incorporated in 1957 with the consolidation of the Towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar, Belle Vista, St. Petersburg Beach, and unincorporated Pinellas County to become the “City of St. Petersburg Beach.” In 1994, the citizens voted to shorten the name to “St. Pete Beach” to lessen the confusion with the City of St. Petersburg, located on the mainland to the east. The City of St. Pete Beach is just off the Pinellas County mainland of Saint Petersburg, just south of Treasure Island, 20 miles from Clearwater Beach, and within 30 miles of St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International Airport. With year-round sunshine and abundant recreational activities, restaurants, and shopping, St. Pete Beach is one of the world\`s most enjoyable places to live and vacation. Rules for this unit are as follows: Pets are not allowed. Smoking is not permitted. Children are allowed. The minimum age limit for this unit is 21. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Heated pool - Kayak - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Unit size: 915 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69770000/69760400/69760326/015a3d3f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern Building in Heart of St Pete Beach.
