“Dr Piper Special”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

We came into town to see Dr Mark A Piper, 3 blocks away. Nancy was great. We chose to stay here for our evaluation b/c she accepted dogs in a few of the rooms. After talking to Nancy she set us up with the Dr. Piper special for the next stay during the surgery and the following 2 weeks. 2 bedrooms a living room, bath, fridge, and kitchenette. She gave us free range of the kitchen and facilities.

La Veranda is and eclectic renovated older house with great people running it. Walking distance to Dr Pipers office, the marina, restaurants, dog park, theaters.

Last note: Erica, the house keeper, is a marvelous person who keep checking on us to make sure our stay was comfortable and that Skipper (our dog) was kept in treats.

“Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

I stayed 4 days and nights here while in St Petersburg and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect o my visit. Lovely building, excellent convenient location, spotlessly clean, warm and friendly staff. All four of the staff, including the owner, were helpful, friendly, and cheerful. I enjoyed my stay and my conversations with these kind and interesting people.
If I get to go back to St Petersburg, I would be thrilled to get to stay here again!

“If you're in the hospitality business....be hospitable!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

We recently stayed here and the only good thing was the house. The owner was rude, disrespectful, and very inhospitable. She yelled at her guests and threatened to not make us breakfast. Her website claims the Inn to be pet friendly, yet she gets mean when small dogs come into the rooms. The rooms were nice, but the hostess does not let you move any furniture around since she check them everyday. This should not be her line of business!

“Rudest Owner Ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel compelled to warn people about this place. While the location is great and within walking distance of downtown St Pete the owner is the most inhospitable person in hospitality I have ever encountered. You would have thought we were squatters on her land and an inconvenience to her the way she handled herself.

First there was the pet issue. It says on the website that they love animals and to bring your pets free of charge. In person she saw our 5 pound dog and immediately got huffy because some rooms apparently don't allow dogs. We were in one of the suites and quite frankly the carpet was trashed beyond belief that I'm not sure what our little potty trained travel dog could have done to it. Then she refused to clean our rooms because of it, fine, but she could have at least left fresh towels or a garbage so we could empty our trash.

The thing that angered us the most is that we were in town for a wedding and the entire place had been rented out. After the wedding a handful of people stayed up on the veranda and hung out. Yes they left the chairs scattered about and some things out and misplaced, but the place was all wedding guests so we wouldn't ruin anyone else's experience. The owner calls the grooms parents at 7:30am the morning after their sons wedding in tears over the state of her porch and they come running over to clean up. It took 10 minutes for three people to deal with. I understand taking up an issue with the people who rented the place but at least talk to them later in the day and in private. Then she almost refused to serve those who were awake breakfast because she was disgusted by the rudeness. Those who were awake had not been out the night before and there were 4 young children in the bunch. We were all horrified.

Part of the fun of a B and B are beautiful rooms and great service. While some of the rooms are well kept and pretty, it's not the experience you'd expect. You're better off and will most likely receive better treatment at a motel for less money.

“Wonderful stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

This B&B is wonderful. The location is great if you prefer the downtown area to the beach area. My partner and I had the perfect getaway (from NYC) in this quiet B&B. The innkeeper is very quick witted and nice, albeit a bit short with her staff. We requested no room service for our entire stay and she remembered and didn't interrupt our stay.

What to expect: basic accommodations, a sweet house cat or two, a short walk to the pier, a long bus ride to the beach, very bright (tacky?) colors, that "home away from home" feel

What not to expect: luxury, pristine maintenance, an easy trip to st pete beach, amazing breakfast

We honestly had the best vacation together, here. So I really would recommend coming into it with the right mindset so you can really enjoy your stay.
