1 Postcard Inn On The Beach
images
Some magic happened when I checked in for my stay on my birthday! Gift was the gentleman who checked me in and was just that, a beautiful Gift! I’d asked about upgrading to a pool front room as my friend has a hard time getting around easily and Gift was quick to deliver and accommodate! He was professional, kind and more than accommodating! In a time where customer service is dying, that is clearly not the case with Gift! Thank you, again, Gift!
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the hot tub was closed and that’s the only reason I booked here. BUT we made the best of it and really enjoyed our stay! I highly recommend!
2 Hotel Zamora



images
Love the Zamora Hotel. I love the feel and size of the rooms, they include a great showers! Two room tucked away behind a great heavy door allows for a more privacy staycation. Such a great location!
We live in Wesley Chapel but stay here as our night or weekend getaway! Always
3 The Don CeSar

Sunset was awesome at the outdoor bar. We also dined there. Charred octopus was outstanding. In the mood for a burger I could not pass up the double cheese burger. It was good and certainly not dry, but I would have liked it cooked more medium rare. Apparently the chef does not like to do that. All in all a great experience.
4 Inn on the Beach



images
I literally can not say enough good things about this place. For starters the location is excellent. A stones throw to the beach as well as places to get grab food and a drink. The room accommodations are suburb and the value of this stay is above most places I’ve stayed at any other beach. My five year old son and I took a last minute trip to see a friend in Orlando and decided to rent a car and spend the night in st.Pete. In my haste I accidentally booked our stay for the wrong month. D, the incredibly lovely woman working in the office found us a room despite my mistake. She was so helpful and a hot to work with. The Inn offered beach towels, umbrellas, and chairs, as well as bikes and WiFi. I didn’t cancel my booking for next month because we enjoyed it so much I think we’ll just come back again and maybe even make a tradition of it. I wish I could give it more than five stars.
5 The Beachcomber - St. Pete Beach



images
Friendly people and staff..its an older motel but kept up very well
6 Sunset Inn & Cottages



images
Immaculately clean, great location. Fluffiest towels I've ever seen. Comfortable beds with nice lightweight duvets. Great outdoor space. We've stayed here 4 times, once in an Inn room and in 3 different cottages. All were very comfortable.
7 Plaza Beach Hotel - Beachfront Resort



images
This is one of the best hotel experiences I have had in a long, long time. The hotel and staff are top notch. Not to mention the cute 50's theme! The day before check in we got a phone call asking about our needs. They said they noticed that we had a child, and were wondering if we wanted a pack and play...I have never had a hotel call me to ask my needs the day before check in. My husband, 1-1/2 year old, and I have one of the balcony kitchenettes. When our toddler goes to sleep, we come out here to either suntan or have a beer/cocktail. The hotel also has a great play area for young kids. It is very kid friendly, yet not kid overrun (Disney anyone?). The pool is great, the views are great (sunsets), the room is great, and so are the staff. I highly recommend coming here.
8 Havana Inn



images
What a great place! Close the beach and restaurants! Our cleaning lady Yaydemi was so awesome, took great care of us!
9 RumFish Beach Resort



images
Nice resort with cool amenities, but much of it is currently closed for covid, and those details were not disclosed ahead of time. They should adjust the resort fee to account for this. The room itself was mediocre. The shower was stained and the tub faucet was loose. No exhaust fan in the bathroom, and rusty metal lamp in the room. The beds were very comfortable. Friendly staff.
10 Grand Plaza Hotel - St. Pete Beach



images
Very nice hotel, the room we stayed in had a weird layout but it worked for 2 people. The staff was very friendly, the beach was beautiful. They have a bar outside with delicious daiquiris for a little over $10 each. The breakfast was good and it was a good price.
12 Coconut Inn



images
Just returned from a girl's getaway and celebration of a milestone birthday. I'd stressed for weeks trying to find accommodations suitable for 4 of us who are 60+ and who wanted to be close but have our privacy. The Coconut Inn fit the bill perfectly! Maggie, River and all the staff were so welcoming. The apartments were clean and comfortable. Being able to park the cars and walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach or bay was truly a treat. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return!
13 Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg Tierra Verde



images
Loved it and will go back often. Seafood place next door has great oysters and other food. "Please fix the wifi" but they did there best to accommodate everything we asked. Stayed 10 days. FANTASTIC LOCATION. Front desk people super nice.
14 Pass a Grille Beach House Vacation Rental



images
We had a wonderful trip while staying at Lisa's Pass A Grille Beach House! Lisa went out of her way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. The house is a perfect home away from home, less than one block from the beach and bay-side. Cozy, clean and all the amenities you need. Would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Pass A Grille Beach!
15 Castle Hotel



images
Loved our stay! The room with twin beds is a bit firm so depending on your preference. The owner and staff are freaking incredible. The friendliest down home experience I’ve had in years. Add to that it’s “haunted” so that’s fun too! Bucket list: check! The beach is right there. Parking pass included with stay. Lots of great places to eat. Very relaxing spot as opposed to the super touristy locations. Bathrooms are very tight as they were built over a hundred years ago and called water closets. Watch the sun come up on one side and go down on the other.
16 Bon-Aire Resort



images
My parents stay here for at least a week every time they visit the area. It's nice but not fancy. Clean, but could use some updates on some rooms. Even when it is full, it rarely feels busy or crowded. There's a decent bar/grill at the beach access. It's at a good section of beach as well.
17 St. Pete Beach Suites



images
If you are looking for a friendly, clean, relaxing place to stay near the beach this is the place!! Our first stop into the office with Melissa, assured us that it was gonna be a great time for our anniversary. She was super helpful in giving us suggestions on where to eat, drink and have some fun time. She also made sure that we had everything we needed at all times throughout our stay. The unit we stayed in was quite large, clean and really comfortable. The kitchen was stocked full of items to use if we wanted to cook and the king size bed was very comfortable. I will definitely be telling all my friends and family about this place!!
18 The Gulf Beach Resort



images
Awesome onsite managers: Kathy and Amanda. Beautiful gulf views. We’ve stayed in both Gulf front rooms, amazing sunset and beach views, and the rooms that have the small side balcony with a partial gulf view and a balcony on the inter-coastal side. All the rooms we’ve ever stayed in are clean, nice and the AC always works great! Pool and hot tub are great, too!!
19 Gulfside Resort



images
THE BEST VALUE IN ST.PETE BEACH! I was there for a 14 day stay 2 weeks ago. Do not book anywhere else! The property is immaculate, the suites provide EVERYTHING you need and more, from a fully stocked kitchen with a full size refrigerator, washer and dryer FREE TO USE on property, grills, beautiful lighted pool at night, picnic tables with umbrellas for shade, to the linen closet with aloe for to much sun... nothing is forgotten here! The owners are WONDERFUL people, very accommodating and will make you feel right at home! Everything is within walking distance including the beach which is just a 3 minute stroll! Call Gulfside before you book anywhere else.. you won’t be sorry and you will go back every year! I met Kathy and her brother Jim...( forgot to mention Resort is family owned) I consider them friends of mine now... Great people, Beautiful place, a memory I’ll never forget!
20 The Toasting Mermaid



images
This place is awesome! Found it on accident passing through on a sail boat out of gulfport marina. Looked up "hotels near me" and it showed up. Half a mile away. Wité runs the joint and cooks some breakfast every morning. The rooms are super homey and they have something like a thousand cable channels! Great patios and chill areas. Cool little garden. Right across the street from the beach. They really pamper you here. I was very impressed.
I do my best to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in March 2025. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
