Private Cottage & Courtyard, 4 min drive to St Pete, Walk to Bay, 6 mi to Beach

Bay Cottage sits in the historic district of Old Southeast, just a 7 min. stroll from Lassing Park and the crystal clear waters of Tampa Bay, and a less than four min. drive into Downtown St Pete.

Bay Cottage is a newly constructed, completely separate dwelling located on the back section of the property where the main house, an adorable vintage 1925 Victorian, is owner occupied.

There is a totally separate parking area and gated entrance into the cottages' fully fenced in, private patio area that is surrounded by lush gardens and tall palms.
The cottage has the ideal amount of space for one to two guests, as well as a dedicated off street parking spot that is right next to the Bay Cottage, and directly in front of the entrance gate.
She is a very modern dwelling with high vaulted ceilings throughout, an open floor plan, and ultra chic furnishings and decor, as well as lots of windows that allow plenty of natural light to shine in.
The large sliding glass doors open out onto the totally private, gorgeous patio area, which is surrounded by a high privacy fence, lush palms, and tropical plantings. This is the perfect setting to either work or play in total comfort and convenience. Your own personal oasis!

Bay cottage showcases a totally new, ultra modern kitchen with all new cabinets, top of the line stainless steel appliances, fixtures, and quartz countertops. And is totally equipped with just about anything you would ever need.
Also totally new and ultra modern is the beautiful bathroom which showcases a vaulted ceiling, and glassed in, spacious walk in shower.
As well as all new tiles and stainless steel fixtures.

The beautiful combination living/dining area is decorated with comfy, modern furnishings, and a 50" direct stream smart TV, that offers free Netflix for your convenience. Free High Speed internet is also available.
The main living area flows directly out through the sliding glass doors onto the large 20' x 25' totally private patio area that is surrounded by a high privacy fence. Where you can totally unwind either by sitting out in the early morning sun with a cup of coffee, or enjoying a glass of your favorite wine in the early evening as the sun goes down.
The sleeping area offers a new ultra comfy Queen sized bed, with a brand new mattress, as well as high quality sheets and pillows. There is also a walk in closet to store all your belongings. The cottage also includes a full sized washer/dryer available for your convenience.
And as an added feature the lovely window shades throughout the cottage easily transform from either shear to blackout to accommodate your individual comfort level.

If you are looking to escape to a quiet, beautiful, private oasis, that is close and convenient to everything you want to explore, as well as somewhere for you to call home for either a few days, weeks, or longer.... and where you can take time to restore your mind, body and spirit, then you have just found it.
Welcome to Bay Cottage!

Private paradise
Great little cottage with a beautiful patio that is very private surrounded by a nice wooden fence so you feel secure and private. Nice place to sit and have a drink and chat with family. Also close to downtown restaurants and fast food eating. Host was very helpful with my booking and enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful Cottage
Our first experience using Vrbo was an amazing one. The cottage is absolutely beautiful. It has a private outside area, and inside is decorated with care. It is nestled so close to the city, that everything around you is easily accessible. There is a park only a couple of minutes away near the ocean. Joan, the host, is incredibly kind and attentive. I cannot recommend this stay enough. My husband and I are already looking forward to our next stay!

A Beautiful Gem of a Stay
The property was spotlessly clean and perfectly appointed for us as we visited our daughter for Parent's Weekend at a local college. We appreciated the thought that was put in to making the property easy to be in, comfortable, and safe, and the owner responded promptly to a little problem we had with the shower and had it fixed within the day. I'd love to stay here again in the future.
