Overview
This waterfront condo sits within the Boca Ciega Resort community in St. Petersburg, Florida, offering an intimate one-bedroom retreat suited to extended stays. The unit is set directly on the water, giving guests views of the bay and its wildlife, including pelicans, dolphins, and passing boaters. Its smoke-free interior and central location make it a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding Gulf Coast area.
Unit & Comfort
The condo sleeps up to three guests with a full bedroom plus a sofa bed in the living room, and features air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. A full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave supports self-catering, while cable TVs in both the living room and bedroom provide entertainment. An in-unit washer adds convenience for longer visits, and free Wi-Fi keeps guests connected throughout their stay.

Resort facilities include an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center, giving guests options to relax or stay active without leaving the property. An elevator serves the building, and free parking is available on-site for those traveling by car.
Dining & Location
The resort is walking distance to several dining options, including the Boca Ciega Waterfront Bar & Grill just 153 meters away, along with Cody's Original Roadhouse, Glory Days Grill, Pipo's Cuban Cafe, Italian Touch, and Umami Sushi Hibachi within a mile. A bus station is located directly outside the resort at Bay Pines Blvd, with two more within an easy walk, and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport is roughly 13 kilometers away.
Best for
This condo suits couples, small families, or solo travelers seeking an extended waterfront stay near St. Petersburg's beaches, thanks to its full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and resort-style pool and fitness amenities. It also appeals to food-focused travelers, given the dense cluster of restaurants, steak houses, and international dining options within a short walk.
Travel tips
A bus stop sits just 86 meters from the resort at Bay Pines Blvd, useful for guests without a car, though having a vehicle makes reaching beaches and restaurants further afield easier, and free on-site parking is provided. St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport is the closest airport at about 13 kilometers, making it a more convenient arrival point than Tampa International or Sarasota Bradenton, which are considerably farther. Evenings on the balcony are worth timing around sunset for the best bay views.
