Where To Stay in St. Petersburg, Florida: Top 6 BEST AirBnbs
We’ve stayed in a lot of hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs around the world. And we realized that some of the best Airbnbs in Florida are in St. Petersburg.
Wait— you’ve never been to St. Pete? You haven’t even heard of it?
Friend, let us show you what you are missing.
Hidden gem :
St. Petersburg, Florida
Okay, before we tell you about the best Airbnbs in Florida, we have to tell you about the hidden gem that is St. Petersburg.
Just 30 minutes south of Tampa, there is a 280-square-mile peninsula perfectly nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay.
You know what that means?
Beaches. Beaches literally everywhere. To give you an idea, you can go to:
St. Pete Beach: Serene, exquisite, and a favorite for beach weddings.
Clearwater Beach: Just 45 minutes from St. Pete Beach, Clearwater is one of the top most visited beaches in the entire country (yes, it gets insanely busy).
Treasure Island: It doesn’t seem like much when you first get there. The days are quiet, and the tourists aren’t in a hurry. But at night, the boardwalk is alive and humming with the chatter of new friends.
Besides getting to choose which tropical oasis you want to visit that day, St. Pete has a trendy downtown with events happening every weekend. St. Pete is a beautiful fusion of cultures, people, and age groups.
You’ll never be bored, and you’ll constantly feel like you’re on vacation.
Where can you (temporarily) call home in St. Pete? Here’s where to stay in St. Petersburg, Florida, based on price, location, and style.
Where To Stay in St. Petersburg, Florida:
Top 6 BEST AirBnbs
Option #1:
Modern Spa AirBnB in Clearwater
Current Rating: 4.92
Price: $$
Air BnB Details:
5 guests
2 beds
2 bedrooms / 2 baths
If you plan on spending your Spring Break on Clearwater Beach this year with the millions of other beachgoers, we recommend staying off-site.
Even if you visit Clearwater in winter, you’ll probably pay a buttload at beach resorts or even standard hotels nearby.
This modern Airbnb gets you away from the sand and sun and into your own little getaway. It’s a short drive to the beach and has its own spa for those days when the massive crowds seem like too much.
It’s a bit of a drive from the heart of St. Pete, but you’re close to the Gulf coast!
Option #2:
Historic Bungalow Air BnB in St. Petersburg
Current Rating: N/A
Price: $$$
Airbnb Details:
5 guests
2 beds
2 bedrooms / 2 baths
This is one of the best Airbnbs in St. Petersburg, Florida, simply because of its location.
Right off Beach Drive and just east of the historic downtown district, you’ll be in the thick of everything St. Pete offers.
This Airbnb is newly renovated for you to enjoy the same modern luxuries of a hotel. If you’re a remote worker, you even have a quaint desk area for those last-minute emails.
But don’t work too hard— there’s too much to do here!
Option #3:
Breeze Bungalow in St. Petersburg
Current Rating: 4.95
Price: $$
Airbnb Details:
6 guests
3 beds
2 bedrooms / 2 baths
We’ve met a lot of fellow remote workers who couldn’t decide where to stay in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Which is why we built the Breeze Bungalow!
Our Airbnb is a huge passion project. Especially for Kelly, who designed and decorated this space down to the built-in bookcase (okay, Eoghan did help with that!).
And being remote travelers ourselves, we wanted a place that could feel like home to anyone who came through those doors.
So, we included the bookshelf and the window-facing desk and painted the mural walls for those perfect photoshoot opportunities.
Families tell us they love its sunny disposition and that it’s only 10 minutes away from Downtown St. Pete restaurants and 15 minutes from any beach.
You’ll never feel out of place at the Breeze Bungalow, and every time you visit, you’ll most certainly feel at home.
Option #4:
The View From Treasure Island
Current Rating: 4.72
Price: $$
Airbnb Details:
4 guests
1 bed
1 bedroom / 1 baths
Were you looking for a solo getaway on the beach? This Treasure Island sanctuary is one of the best Airbnbs in Florida for that!
You know those movies where the main character goes to a tropical island and swings open the curtains to see that the beach is in their backyard?
With only room for one, you’ll have your washer and dryer, a private kitchen, and a wooden-palette patio where you can watch the sun rise and set.
As soon as you descend those stairs and your toes touch the sand, you’ll be in the water in just 5 minutes!
Option #5:
St Pete Paradise AirBnB
Current Rating: 5.0
Price: $$$
Airbnb Details:
8 guests
5 bed
3 bedroom / 3 baths
If you and your family are looking for a place to stay in St. Petersburg, this simple luxury home might just be your answer.
It’s located right in between the beach towns and Downtown St. Pete. This smart home is a whopping 2,000 square feet with a huge yard (bring the doggos!) and a pool.
St. Pete Paradise has a clean, cozy feel which is perfect for travelers who want to stay in for a few days (or simply can’t decide what to do next).
Option #6:
The Mid-Century Birdcage
Current Rating: 4.93
Price: $$$
Airbnb Details:
4 guests
1 bed
1 bedroom / 1 baths
Not all of the best Airbnbs in Florida are beach themed. As a designer, Kelly loves to see how other local hosts have decorated their homes, and this one caught our eye!
Built in the 1950s, this awesome Airbnb has a triangle architecture you won't find in other St. Pete stays. They also forgoed the typical Florida coastal design and went with a more rustic mid-century modern style.
If you want to know where to stay in St. Petersburg, Florida, that’s next to the beach but doesn’t feel like it— this Airbnb is worth the price!
