Acceptable accommodations

We enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway. It is located near the historic downtown area so driving was at a minimum. We found the Hideaway to be adequate for our needs. We spent most of our time exploring St Pete. We did have noisy neighbors upstairs a couple nights. The courtyard is nice but traffic noise is constant (we did not hear it indoors). The place was clean and comfortable.

Not as expected, just okay

I chose this property because of the *free* parking pass for the local beach. The property owner wasn't sure where I found that information until I sent a screenshot of the listing, then told me the city took it away years ago. She then got my vehicle information and I was able to use the pass. Lots of rules for this property, so I expected more.The entrance was blocked by a big vehicle most of the time - so a very narrow path was the only option to get in with luggage. Not ideal for anyone with accessibility needs or a stroller.Wouldn't stay here again.

Nice little Place

Lisa is very communicative. This property is a cottage- like outbuilding on the grounds of a larger house with another outbuilding. Parking is a pad in front (on sidewalk ). Overall very comfortable space except the bed... it is creaky and has uncomfortable pillows

TheHideAway was the BEST BASE CAMP COMPOUND!!!

We came over from Miami. First time visitor to the area and I am IN LOVE. The people, the architecture (that is actually respected and valued and lovingly restored), the vast array of INCREDIBLE restaurants—-all within walking distance. You won’t be disappointed here:) Plus, your FurFace is welcome to come and enjoy as well!!

Nice, cute place. Very convenient. I would add a chest of drawers as there is no where to put your things. The bikes were fun to ride around the area although they may could use some TLC. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming Place, Great Location

We stayed in one of several small rentals on this property (The Hideaway) and it was wonderful. They all look good but this one was particularly nice for us. Main level, cute kitchen, huge bathroom with roll in/accessible shower. Small learning curve to the designated parking for each space but easy once you “get it” (and plenty of street parking nearby if you have a very large vehicle). Location is really handy - just far enough away from downtown for less traffic but close enough for practically anything you need within a five minute drive. Communication with Lisa was great. Definitely would stay again!

Blues festival

The Hideaway was adorable, comfortable and had everything we needed. I loved the little pool and patio with my morning coffee. It’s in a fantastic location to walk to some amazing restaurants and we enjoyed taking scooters to the pier/ blues festival or a short ride to the beautiful beaches. Lisa was a wonderful host, very responsive thoughtful.

Scoop this up.

We are locals who had to flee a renovation in our home. We were so lucky to find the Hide-a-way. It was relaxing, serene and you hear water tinkling everywhere. Yet it burst with color, outdoor art and a lap pool. There are hidden seating areas shaded by palms and comfortable chairs. This owner does not cheap out on quality. The linens and towels were top notch and the bathroom was gorgeous. She allows well behaved dogs so we could bring our precious one. And lastly, her welcome book was spot on! St. Pete is now a foodie and local brew town. She new the heavyweights and had local tips to boot. Snap this one up.
