“Wonderful B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Our three day stay could not have been better. We had a large, well furnished room. Bill and Wilder are very personable hosts. They had bicycles that we took out on the bay path. The location is perfect. We didn't want to leave.

“What a small hotel should be!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

One of the best small hotels I have stayed in. I celebrated my 65th birthday in St Petersburg with my wife, daughter and son-in-law. It was the perfect place to stay - clean & comfortable rooms, friendly & interesting owners, excellent breakfast and a most convenient location. If you are in this area, stay here!

“"Amazing hosts and perfect location"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

This place is such a gem! It's affordable, clean and has such great rooms. Breakfast was so relaxed and the hosts made us feel at home. We went during a busy period but the place was still so peaceful. It was centrally located and close to the most amazing gelato and tea shop. Wish we had stayed longer!

“Best hosts ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012 via mobile

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Bill and wilder couldn't do enough for us. We arrived after 2 weeks travelling around Florida and needed to find a launderette. Wilder went out of her way and completed all our washing and returned them that evening all washed and folded. They also recommended and book excursions and restaurants for us which we all top class. Cheers guys.

“Great place to be!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

We loved St Petersburg and Inn at the Bay so much that we stayed for extra night here. Owners are lovely people and make sure you enjoy your stay.

Our room was comfy and what their pics told us. Location is great and we just didn´t had any problems staying here.

If ever going back to this area, we are sure to stay here again! This is one of those places that you allmost don´t wanna tell anyone about it so you could get room from there next time also ; )
