The first beachfront hotel that I booked on-line without previously scoping out ended up being e a very relaxing, quiet and romantic stay for a 4-day get-a-way on beautiful Saint Petersburg Beach. A definite consideration for a small family vacation or a weekend romantic retreat on one of the gulf coasts best beaches. Oh yeah, and quite affordable!
The Beach Haven in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida (FL.) in the Tampa Bay area turned out to be a pleasant surprise. My love and I needed a nice quiet place to go to just get away from the rigors of regular life and to bask in each others embrace. There is no place else like a Florida beach and yet it turned out even better with the small cottage I booked for us at Beach Haven. To think I was going to book a boring, plain and standard looking hotel room for 4 days.
Beach Haven fit the occasion and the bill for what the two of us needed. The room was small but cute. I know, I know, I just said cute! Aside from telling my daughter and my love they are cute, I don't use that word for too many things but sorry, yes, it was cute.
I booked the Deluxe Suite and it was $155 per night (for 2, they charge $10 per person per night extra). That was peak season though. You can book the same room for $115 and $95 a night during off-peak seasons. The deposit was also reasonable at $200. Florida vacationers will enjoy colorful art deco style motels which are romantically pink, a gulf front heated pool and palm trees lining the cottages (throw in some white small bulb Christmas type strung lights down the walkways and in the palms). With all that you still can't resist the spectacular sunsets that are a few footsteps away without having to walk through some 20 story buildings bottom floor parking garage to get there.
Beach Haven is conveniently located on Gulf Boulevard of Saint Petersburg Beach and is close to great shopping, dining and entertainment. You can head over to John's Pass for tons of great shops and restaurants as well as wave runner rentals, dolphin tours, fishing charters, sight seeing tours, a casino cruise and a top St. Pete Beach and Tampa Bay area hot spot, Gators! If you want to experience some of the Saint Petersburg Beach night life, head to Gators which is not your typical club. The club plays, well, at least I feel, great live rock and sometimes heavy music and throws in some booty dancing beats late night and is right on the water which you just can't beat.
