Stay Together in a Historic Uptown Bungalow Near Downtown

Stay together in a beautifull historic bungalow located in St. Petersburg’s sought-after Uptown neighborhood. This booking includes the entire front house at Banyan House, combining both the upstairs and downstairs apartments into one continuous home reserved exclusively for your group.

The home offers generous space and flexibility, making it well suited for families, multi-generational stays, group trips, and ownership-approved celebrations. With two full kitchens, multiple living areas, and access to outdoor spaces, guests can spend time together comfortably while still enjoying room to spread out.

The upstairs level features a bright living room with comfortable seating and a TV, a dining area for shared meals or game nights, and a fully equipped kitchen. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on this level, along with a separate nursery room that includes a crib, changing table, and nursing recliner, making the home especially convenient for guests traveling with infants.

The downstairs level offers a warm, classic bungalow feel with original wood floors and large windows. It includes its own living room, dining area, and full kitchen, along with two spacious master suites featuring king beds. The primary bathroom includes both a clawfoot soaking tub and a large double shower, creating a relaxing retreat after a day exploring the city.

The front porch is reserved exclusively for guests staying in the front house and provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. A large garden deck at the rear of the property is shared with other units and is available for outdoor dining, casual gatherings, or enjoying Florida’s warm weather.

The home is directly adjacent to a neighborhood park, making the location especially appealing for families and guests who enjoy being outdoors. The park features a scenic pond, walking paths, and a large banyan tree that serves as a local landmark and gathering spot. Guests can easily step outside for a morning walk, relax by the water, or enjoy time in a green space that feels distinctly local and unhurried.

The bungalow is situated on a quiet, tree-lined street within walking distance of coffee shops, neighborhood dining, and everyday conveniences. Downtown St. Petersburg, the Vinoy waterfront, Central Avenue, and the city’s museums and cultural attractions are all just minutes away.

This home can accommodate ownership-approved group celebrations such as milestone birthdays, bachelorette weekends, family reunions, and small retreats. All events must be disclosed and approved in advance to ensure the property is properly prepared for your stay.

This historic Uptown bungalow offers a rare combination of character, space, walkability, and proximity to green space, making it an exceptional home base for group stays in St. Petersburg.

Property was beautiful. Very clean and decorated impeccably. Parking is challenging but not impossible. Very nice for a big family, you cannot hear the upstairs and vice verse. Nice back patio to lounge and bbq! Can’t wait to come back!
