Welcome to our newly renovated beachy 2nd floor guesthouse in Historic Kenwood. This spacious 1 bedroom (King bed), 1 bath is an easy walk, bike, or short drive to St Pete restaurants, bars, breweries, antique shops, museums, live entertainment and so much more. Grand Central District is just a 5 min walk, Edge District is 1 mile, Downtown is 2 miles, and St Pete beach is 15 minutes away. Guests have a private deck with seating for 2, Wi-Fi, and laundry accessible via shared fenced backyard.
The space
The space was designed to feel light, bright, and airy while including lots of unique and colorful artwork reflecting beautiful Florida. The apartment is equipped with a full kitchen including, gas range, microwave, oversized deep sink, toaster, K-cup coffee maker and coffee pods, pots, pans, basic cooking tools, wine opener, Brita water pitcher, citrus juicer, salt, pepper, evoo, cling wrap, foil, baggies, paper products and cleaning products.
2 beach towels, sunblock, small cooler, icepack, and 2 beach chairs are supplied, so you'll be ready to hit the beach as soon as you get here. Rooms are all generously sized, have plenty of closet space and hangers, and are decorated with funky Floridian artwork from local artists. The bedroom has a very comfortable new King bed with soft 100% cotton linens, fluffy pillows, and a full-length mirror to help you get ready for your day or night out.
There is a separate nook off the living room that has a desk, rolling chair, and router (with an accessible ethernet port on the router) to be used as a dedicated workspace. The desk lamp has a wireless phone charging pad. Super-fast Wi-Fi throughout. There is also a built-in shelf and chair just off the bedroom that could possibly be used as 2nd workspace, make-up desk, etc.
The living room has a 55" smart TV and sofa (with pull out sofa bed). There are some card and board games in the living room and bedroom closets as well as a small book library. And we just added a vinyl record player with a few retro records to enjoy.
We've got you covered with all those little extras you may have forgotten at home including: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, qtips, cotton balls and wipes, blow dryer, first aid supplies, bug repellent, etc.
Enter through the rear of the property via the alley to access the driveway and your dedicated parking spot in the gravel driveway. This spot is underneath the garage overhang and will fit an SUV or full-sized truck. There is a 2nd dedicated parking spot that will only fit a compact car. There is also additional free street parking. The apartment is 1 flight of stairs above the detached garage.
There is a private deck off the front door with seating for 2. There is also additional shared outdoor space; the laundry room, propane BBQ, and hammock are in a fenced-in, shared backyard. The guests in the main house could possibly have a friendly dog or cat who you may encounter in the fenced area. Please always keep gates closed.
Cleanliness is a priority for me, so the apartment is professionally cleaned, and you will see many of the guests mention how clean the place is in their reviews.
We are dog lovers and welcome well-behaved dogs under 75 lbs. 1 dog maximum per visit. If you don't 100% trust your dog in this newly renovated space, please bring along a crate or do not leave the dog unattended in the guesthouse. Please keep dogs off bed and the furniture.
Guest access
The detached guesthouse is completely private for this VRBO with no shared walls. There is a separately fenced-in backyard that contains the shared laundry room, propane BBQ grill, and hammock. These shared spaces are for use during 9 AM-9 PM. You may encounter another guest's friendly dog in these shared areas. Please always keep gates closed.
Other things to note
For those with severe fragrance allergies, I want to disclose that there is a plug in air freshener in the apartment. You are welcome to unplug this while you are staying in the unit. We also use standard cleaning products which contain fragrance. And the linens are washed with standard laundry detergent and dryer sheets which also have fragrance.
