Travel tips
Because the inn is three blocks from historic 8th Avenue’s shops and eateries, many guests can rely on walking or the property’s complimentary loaner bikes for short local trips. Plan beach days around the provided beach chairs (and other loaner gear mentioned by guests), and use the outdoor pool and picnic/gazebo areas as an easy backup if weather turns. For day trips, nature destinations like Shell Key and Fort De Soto Park are a short drive away, while downtown museums and the St. Pete Pier are roughly 13–15 km from the property.
