Beach Cottage above garage- Historic Pass-A-Grille-Private entrance


Welcome to our spacious beachfront Cottage on Historic Pass a Grille Beach, directly overlooking the glistening Gulf of Mexico. You will enjoy stunning sunsets and a magnificent moon lit ocean view. We also have a nice 2 bedroom 2 bath downstairs for a family event. Sleeps 6.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

The cottage is situated above the garage to our other rental property. It has its own access. Very private. Approx. 500 sq. feet. One bedroom one bathroom. Street parking with pass. Private washer and dryer. Secluded sitting area in back of the house. We just installed central air. Great views of the beach.
What—Never heard of Pass-A-Grille Beach? Well, then, before we tell you about our house we’ll have to educate you about the first beach community on the Gulf of Mexico to be developed as a weekend get-away location for successful Tampa and Saint Petersburg residents.

The area is a small spit of land merely 31 blocks long and one block wide at the south end of St. Petersburg Beach, starting just south of the historic Don Cesar Hotel. Pass-A-Grille got its name from Cuban fishermen, called “Grillers,” who would camp on the island to smoke their catch of fish before heading home. As you traveled through the pass you could see their fires, hence the name Pass-A-Grille.

Pass-A-Grille is NOT your typical Florida “beachy” beach town with hotels, motels, swimsuit stores and fast food stores wall-to-wall, If you are looking for this, you’ll have to go further north, past the Don Cesar. Pass-A-Grille is more sedate with a convenient grocery, quaint shops, inviting bars and restaurants, and a more relaxed style. And, everything is within easy walking distance, because the blocks are short.

22 blocks of beachfront and walkway a few steps to a nearby dune walkover. Once you cross the dune you’ll be presented with a wide, sandy beach stretching in both directions. It's like having your own private beach. There are never big crowds. A locals secret.

You’ll find some good bars, restaurants, and ice cream shops on this (the west) side. The Hurricane Restaurant is one of the most popular places, and you’ll get a great view while sipping a drink at the third-floor bar. By the way, there are no high-rise hotels on Pass-A-Grille—there are a couple of 7-story condos, but that’s it—

Or, walk one block to the other (east) side of the island, where you can dip a line in the water, arrange a fishing charter or scenic cruise, or merely stroll along the marine sites to some rather excellent restaurants. .

Less than an hour from the many attractions in Tampa and St. Petersburg. Our house is 2 blocks from the southern end of the island, and as close to “on the beach” as you can get. To the west there is the Gulf of Mexico, the beach, the street, and our house.

Keywords: House, ocean front, beach front, gulf view, quaint town, historic district, upscale, private, walk to shops and restaurants, fishing, public transportation, pass a grille.

I also have a 2 bedroom house listed if you need more space. #377037. Both are monthly rentals only

Dreamy time at the beach
I am more than happy that we got to stay at this property! I used to live in the area and was really excited to come back. To find something this beautiful in my price range was great! The property was right by the besch, clean and has everything we could have asked for. Even multiple extra sheets and towels. Katie was a sweetheart and always ready to help and was quick to answer any questions.

Absolutely loved our first trip to Passa Grille
We loved our first visit to Passa Grille. The apartment was spotless. Our host Katie was excellent. Very accommodating. We love the Gulf now. The water was clear and I loved the shelling. We love the small town feel and the beauty of the island. We will be back.

Relaxing week long get away
This adorable apartment was such a surprise finding! My husband and I were looking for a relaxing stay near the beach in Pass-A-Grille. It was perfect for our stay. Just across the street from the beach. Quite. Nicely furnished. Well stocked kitchen. Short walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shopping. The owner was so attentive. She left the light on for us as we arrived after dark. She graciously shared her cell phone contact and told us to call or text if we needed anything at all. When I text her after I accidentally locked ourselves out, she came over and let us in and was so kind about it. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation. I would return to this property without hesitation! Great stay!! Beautiful area!

Relaxing vacation
Great place to relax and unwind. This place is at the end of the island so a lot less traffic. This unit is above a garage attached to the main house with a good view of the Gulf and across the street from the beach. Katie the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. We definitely recommend this place, and we would love to come back.

Very Relaxing
Perfect amount of room for two. Nice private entrance. We loved being at the end of the beach. Away from the more crowded areas. It was a short walk to restaurants. There were a few minor issues that the owner handled very quickly. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return to this property soon!
