Our home

Small 700 sq ft cottage home in a quiet neighborhood in St Pete. It has one bedroom with a queen size bed, one bath with tub & shower, and a small office. We have a beautiful, private back yard with a large (unheated) swimming pool and tropical plants. A nice outdoor shower (with hot & cold water!) washes the chlorine off after your dip in the pool! We have a washer, no dryer but a drying rack is set up in the office room. Other than caring for cats no home or yard maintenance is required. ...

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Our neighborhood is quaint and quiet, but we are near everything you could want: lively downtown with world class restaurants and museums, 20 minutes from gorgeous white sand beaches, and 25 minutes from two airports.

Our pets

CatsCats (8)
We have 3 beautiful, healthy indoor cats, Chloƫ, Simone, and Oreo. They eat twice daily, are very loving, and love treats and cuddles! Other than keeping up with the cat box 2x day, they are super-low maintenance.

We also receive daily visits from anywhere from 6-8 community cats who get food & water outdoors twice daily. Most have previously been neutered and had their shots from Friends of Strays, so they are healthy and friendly. After they eat they tend to disappear under the fence to go exploring the neighborhood until their next meal so they are super easy to care for. A couple of our neighbors also feed them so likely you won't see all of them every day.
