“a lovely place”

It was a wonderful place to stay. The weekly rate was a great deal. The owner runs a welcoming and cozy spot to sleep.

“Just what we needed”

We spent a week at Gaystpetehouse. The owner and staff created a relaxed, judgment-free atmosphere that felt like home. The property, including the house, grounds, and pool, was well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It's conveniently located near Grand Central, beaches, and downtown. We returned fully relaxed and eager to come back soon. We definitely will return and highly recommend this B&B.

“Great lil B”

A converted house with so many amenities. There's a pool, hot tub, and an outdoor kitchenette where they serve continental breakfast. Our room opens right to the clothing-optional pool, which is always open. We have a mini fridge and microwave. Extra perks include a little shop with swimwear and underwear. I want to bring all my friends and take over the place for a weekend sometime. Fun!

“Great place to relax. Close to everything you need!”

I stayed at GayStPete House twice before relocating to the area, each time for a week. I liked it because it's very laid-back. The pool is great, and it's nice to relax outside. There's not much attitude here, and the owner is wonderful. I stayed in a poolside room. The B&B is near the gay business district, downtown St. Pete, and the beaches. I would have stayed again, but I liked St. Pete so much that I moved here.
