Vacation Rentals St. Petersburg
A 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home in the Bay Pines area of St. Petersburg. Pool table, ping pong, fire pit, pets welcome. Sleeps 10. Downtown St. Pete is about 22 minutes east.
St. Petersburg is a big city, and where you stay in it matters. The Salty Parrot is in the northwest corner, near Bay Pines, which puts it about 6 minutes from Archibald Beach Park in Madeira Beach and 10 minutes from John’s Pass Village. Guests say it plainly: “3 minutes to Walmart/Publix and 5 min to the beach.” Downtown St. Pete, with the Pier, the Dalí Museum and Central Avenue’s restaurants, is about 22 minutes east. You get the beach side of the city with the downtown night out still on the table.
The house sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms with 3 full baths, one of the best bathroom ratios in our portfolio. Outside is a large private pool (“the best part of our stay,” June 2026), a fire pit, grill and covered seating. Inside, a pool table and ping pong table keep kids busy. Beach essentials are provided. It is single-level with a private entrance and free parking on the premises, and pets are allowed.
Close by: War Veterans’ Memorial Park (112 acres on Boca Ciega Bay, shaded playground, nature trail, waterside swings, kayak launch; note the boat ramp is closed for repairs through November 2026). John’s Pass has Hubbard’s Marina dolphin and sunset cruises, the fishing fleet, more than a hundred shops and waterfront restaurants. Walsingham Park is 13 minutes. Weedon Island Preserve’s mangrove paddling trail is about 29 minutes, and Fort De Soto about 36.
Where to eat: around John’s Pass and Madeira Beach for casual seafood; downtown, Bodega on Central for Cuban, Trophy Fish for oysters and fish tacos, Il Ritorno for Italian. Book ahead for sunset tables in winter and spring.
When to come: January through April is high season and dry. April and May are the best mix of warm Gulf water and easing rates. Summer is hot with short afternoon storms; the pool is the reason you booked. September and October are the quiet, cheaper months.
Getting here: PIE about 26 minutes, TPA about 33 minutes without traffic.
Drive. Gulf Blvd through Madeira Beach is slow on weekend afternoons, so aim for the beach before 10 a.m. Archibald Beach Park and John’s Pass parking are metered. For downtown, park once in a garage and walk Central Avenue; the SunRunner bus also links downtown to St. Pete Beach if you want a car-free day there.
Every home here has its own pool. Each listing tells you which ones are heated.
A home for 10 guests, with private pools, game rooms and space to spread out.
