Quiet retreat
We stayed here for a month this year and were so pleased we did. The location is perfect. 15 minutes from downtown St Pete, St Pete beach and also Pass-A-Grill. When you sit out front m, you overlook a beautiful waterway that comes in from the bay. It’s quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The hosts are very accommodating and we enjoyed getting to know them. Everyone was friendly in the neighborhood too. We will definitely return.

Relaxing stay with a view
Small but everything you need. Fully equipped kitchen allowed us to have as many meals in as we wanted. We enjoyed the chairs outside so we could watch hockey on the TV in the bedroom outside in the sun! It was a great set up. Not enough space to invite friends over. Lovely quiet neighborhood with a fantastic “south side” coffee shop a few blocks away. Great hosts who invited us over for New Year’s Day celebration. Not a good spot if you don’t have a car.

Beautiful Bayou Shores - best VRBO rental experience ever!
My husband and I spent a full month here at this beautiful Bayou Shores Waterfront retreat. We loved our morning ritual of sipping coffee out front as we watched tropical birds walk by, dolphins swimming in the Bayou, and hearing the heartfelt sound of birds singing. The location was great! We were within biking distance of beautiful downtown St Pete and looked forward to our daily bike ride to the St Pete waterfront. Our rental unit was extremely clean, very tastefully decorated, and so nice to come home to at the end of each day. Don and Lynette are fantastic hosts! They were so welcoming and were always available if we had any questions. We have rented lots of VRBO rentals but this by far was our best experience! We would highly recommend this rental to everyone!

Manatee musings
So much good about the Manatee House where we stayed 2 weeks in February. Our lower level area was clean and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen; around the side is the common laundry room. Sunrises were just outside our front door and bedroom window gazing across Bayou Bonita. Sunsets can be enjoyed from the Bay Vista park pier a convenient 5 minute drive south on 4th. Five minutes northbound gets all the culture and entertainment of downtown St Pete. If you, like us, are into laid-back beach sunsets and entertainment, it's hard to beat nearby Gulfport and Pass-a-Grill beaches. Don and Lynette were great hosts, inviting us to the Superbowl party at their dock and fire pit, and checking regularly that we had what we needed. When asked they always had solid recommendations for entertainment and sightseeing. If we had to pick faults, they seem fairly minor. Being next to the laundry room, we can hear the machines if they're running. We could hear footsteps of the guest upstairs occasionally. We enjoyed the rainfall shower head, but would have enjoyed having a handheld sprayer as well. Summary: the Manatee House is on our 'return list' for our next Florida tour.
