Stay in the oldest Queen Anne Victorian home on Florida's beautiful West Coast!
Treat yourself to a truly memorable experience in the enchanting nationally registered Old Northeast Historic district of exciting St. Petersburg, Florida. Stay in the oldest Queen Anne Victorian home on Florida's beautiful West Coast.
A perfect location - nestled in the serenity of a beautiful residential district - yet less than two blocks away from the always happening St. Petersburg waterfront and bustling downtown. Easily walk or bike to The Pier, Baywalk, Vinoy Park, North Shore Park and beach, marina, shops, restaurants and the many bay front attractions and special events. Larelle House in St. Petersburg is centrally located in the
Tampa Bay Area within an easy drive to Tampa, Clearwater, Bradenton and Sarasota, and only minutes to Pinellas Counties' beautiful and world-renowned gulf beaches.
Guests approach Larelle House via an old brick street and enter through a custom wrought-iron gate, cross a manicured lawn and climb the front steps to the wide verandah furnished with Florida-style wicker.
Upon entering the house, guests find themselves in the front parlor with a windowed sunroom to the right and a handsome study to the left featuring an imported mahogany coffered ceiling and working gas fireplace - perfect on those rare cool evenings. Down the hall is the dining room where bountiful, scrumptious breakfasts are served. Straight ahead, the grand staircase leads guests from the front parlor to the four large Guest rooms on the second floor, each with their own private bath. All guest rooms are exquisitely decorated and furnished with period antiques. The main hall leads to a two-storied rear porch and down an exterior wooden staircase to the rear garden and romantic gazebo with hot tub.
The innkeepers and resident kitty cat reside on site on the third floor. But don't be too shy to request a side trip through their quarters and up a ladder to experience the widow's walk and take in the views of Tampa Bay.
Each evening, enjoy wine & cheese in the parlor together with your hosts between the hours of 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Complimentary soft drinks and homemade goodies are available in the dining room mini-refrigerator around the clock. Unwind in the evening while privately soaking in the custom in-ground hot tub under a columned Grecian gazebo crowned with flowering bougainvillea.
Awaken to the aroma of fresh brewed gourmet coffee and enjoy your complimentary copy of the local newspaper delivered to your guest room door. Larelle House serves full hot entree breakfasts in the dining room, where a pair of elegantly appointed tables awaits. Sunday breakfasts are extra special with morning Mimosas served on the front verandah prior to seating in the dining room.
Concierge Services include recommendations, reservations and assistance in securing tickets to area attractions and events. Your host will provide you with a map and directions to guide you to your destinations. Free parking is provided on site and bicycles are available for the use of our Guests at no extra charge.
