Beth was an absolutely wonderful property manager for this cottage. Her communications were timely and clearly expressed. She was involved without being intrusive and was always responsive when we had a question. The two of us stayed with our Labrador Retriever. It was a great location for him -- just a few blocks from the dog park and lots of dog-friendly parks. We especially enjoyed taking him to Clam Bayou (formerly Osgood Point) on the Gulfport Side. Across Clam Bayou but back in St. Petersburg (a short drive down Pasadena Avenue to 37th St, go south to 34th Ave South and turn right -- it dead ends at the park). There is a small beach, a walking/biking trail, a doggie water fountain, and a lake. Be careful around the lake -- after all, this is Florida and there are alligators.
The house location is just steps away from Beach Boulevard with Siri's, Backfin Blue Cafe, Pia's, and Gulf Perk. Of course, the COVID pandemic has changed eating out but one can still get take out and some places have outside dining. You will have to check at the time of your visit. Gulf Perk has a delightful outside patio and welcomes our canine friends -- they also have a great cream cheese, lox, bagel, capers, and cilantro meal.
Enjoy Gulfport, we do often.
