Amazing host.

This property is a very short distance to the gulf, a beach cart is available along with an umbrella and chairs. Location is within walking distance to pass a grill and restaurants to the north. We truly had a wonderful time and will be returning next year.

Stay at the Julia House

Since our timeshare was not yet repaired from the 2024 hurricanes, we rented the Julia House through vrbo. The host, Charlie, was on site to let us in and show us the path to the beach etc. The beach was perfect. It was a wonderful substitute for our timeshare and I would return in a second if I wanted to go to SPB when our place was not available.

Best beach location

Had a brilliant week in this charming Floridian house. Plenty of space for family of 5, kids aged 10-16. Great outdoor space. Absolutely fantastic location, just steps from the beach. Charlie is a great host, welcoming, friendly and very hospitable. All the beach stuff you could need is there - towels, beach chairs, buckets etc. thoroughly recommend. The beach is beautiful, quiet with white sand and shallow turquoise sea. Perfect for families.

Perfect spot for relaxing stay

We are a couple and a single friend. Two bedrooms and two baths worked perfectly. We loved the courtyard where we could grill and entertain. Very close to the beach and Don Cesar. Treat yourself to an evening walk under the bridge. It is lit up beautifully. Charlie and Rebecca were great hosts and we enjoyed an evening sitting outside and visiting.

A 4 minute ealk to the beach!

Our host was kind, helpful, and an engaging storyteller. The house is furnished with myriad Broadway show posters, so that you feel almost as an ex NYtheatergoers. The delightful beach is just a few minutes walk away. There are a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a Publix supermarket and CVS drugstore...

My Family and I have stayed in many condos and homes. Never before. Have you stayed in a better equipped and stocked accommodation than Charlie’s! Not only that, Charlie is a gracious and phenomenal host! Julia House is everything described and Moore and the location is to die for!

Toes in the water.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Julia House on The Gulf. It's proximity to the beach was high on our list and it delivered. The sand was incredible and the sunsets were spectacular. We even spotted a dolphin just fifty feet from shore. Several restaurants within walking distance, not to mention the best Mojitos just across the street at the 360. The accommodations were comfortable and enjoyably eclectic. The patio however was where we spent most of our time enjoying a beverage(s), the sun, the breeze and stories about our daily experiences. Charlie was the best character and host you could meet with stories galore. Already missing Charlie.

Interactive Host

Charlie was a very welcoming host, even loaning us the makings of a relaxing beverage. He took us to Publix for food since we had no car when we first arrived. He checked on us frequently since his home is just across the patio. The guest house was quite adequate for 4 older adults, but not recommended for children at this point. There are some "in progress" repairs due to hurricane damage that make it unsafe for small children. Charlie was very upfront about the issues and explained the ongoing work in place. The location was great for us with easy access to Tampa, Clearwater, and the airport. The patio area is lovely and very inviting.

They were great "older adults" and a pleasure to host. The combination of two hurricanes, FEMA, St Pete Beach permitting Department was a night mare. Would welcome them back with open arms and an available auto

older home with loads of charm and quirky details, close to the beach and fun activities/restaurants

We spent two weeks in this quaint cottage, with loads of charm and quirky details. It is very conveniently located, near the grocery store, great restaurants, the beach and other fun activities. The hosts live behind the cottage, and they are wonderful and fun people. The 'yard' between the two homes is a tropical paradise. We spent many hours there enjoying this beautiful setting. What a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks, and/or cook-out on the chef-style grill. The home is within walking distance of several restaurants, the beach, and an ice cream parlor! The Julia House was a perfect setting for us to enjoy all that St Pete's Beach and the surrounding area had to offer. We had everything we needed here, a fully functional kitchen and outdoor grill area, dining area large enough for 6, two bedrooms, with extra sleeping possible on the couches, and all the necessary linens, plus beach towels, chairs/umbrella for our trips to the beach. We would definitely like to stay here again in the future. There is also a shared laundry facility available for your use. We felt so at home here!

We loved having the Yosts visit The Julia House as well as the two couples that joined them during their stay. We look forward to having any and all of them return whenever for another Syrian Feast. They were sooooo easy to get along with--very mindful, very respectful and very funny! We would be delighted to host any and all of the six guests back again and would highly recommend them to other potential hosts!

The best beach get away!

I took my grown daughters along with a few of their friends for a relaxing beach trip. We loved the quirky decor in the house, reflecting the owner’s affinity for Broadway musicals. There are plenty of books if you like to read, and games. We were greeted by Charlie upon arrival, and he is a charmer! We enjoyed getting to know him and his sweet friend Minette. He shared with us his memorial for his beloved wife, Rebecca. He has a bench for her on the beach, and sponsors a turtle nest in her memory. We found those to be beautiful gestures. We were delighted to find there were plenty of towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach umbrella, and Charlie had even gotten an easy up tent for us to use and a cornhole set. You will want for nothing! You bring yourself, your swimsuits, a cooler and you are good to go! As we are all pretty fair, some might even say “pale” or “transparent,” we appreciated the shade. The beach is a very short walk, and it is not crowded since it is private for the community where we were. We had wanted to use the outdoor kitchen but it was too hot the week we stayed. We used the outdoor shower a lot. I don’t think I ever used the one inside, lol. We had the most relaxing week. We swam all day, ate great food (Shrimpy’s was our favorite), and I slept like a rock. We all did! Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We appreciate you Charlie!
