About this property

Tropical house at the beach, on a barrier island!

Welcome to Belle’s Paradise, our cozy beach house located on a natural barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico in Redington Shores, Florida. Redington Shores is a bit of a hidden gem, being a quiet, low key beach community tucked between the vibrant cities of Clearwater & St Petersburg. This location offers the best of both worlds: quiet relaxation locally with serious dining and nightlife a short drive away. You can make the most of the tropical climate by choosing either the beach, which is a 1/2 block walk, or the in-ground swimming pool at the house. The pool is 8’ wide by 50’ long, 3.5’ deep at one end and 7’ at the other, so it’s great for those that want to swim laps and also functional for those that want to relax and socialize in the water. If it's a little too chilly for the pool, not to worry, we also have a hot tub! There is a covered patio and grill poolside, perfect for outdoor dining or escaping the sun to relax on the outdoor sofa. Even lounging around outside you can enjoy the plethora of vibrant tropical foliage surrounding the property, including several species of palms, lemon & lime trees, Hibiscus & many more! This home features 2 bedrooms each with a king bed, plus a queen sofabed in the living room, sleeping 6 total. There is a full bathroom decked out festively with original pink tile walls and flamingo wallpaper, with direct access to the pool area. There is also an enclosed outdoor full bathroom, perfect for washing off when you get back from the beach. Inside this home you’ll find an open layout with a modern kitchen and classic Floridian décor. The home features new appliances, filtered drinking water in the kitchen, central A/C, wifi, cable, and laundry on-site. We also have a beach cart and pool toys available. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with a great coffee shop down the block with waterside seating. Several great restaurants are within walking distance, even more options a short drive down the beach. Well behaved pets are welcome with additional deposit & cleaning fee. You’ll know you’re at the beach when you pull up and notice that the driveway is made entirely of real seashells! A stay at this home is a great opportunity to enjoy the subtropical climate and some of the best beaches in Florida!

Cool house with awesome pool, walk to beach!

Mike was a great host, he would check in to see how the stay was going. The house was damaged in the Sept 2024 storms but somehow Mike got it back to looking as good as the pre-storm pictures. Charming house and neighborhood. The long lap pool is really nice with a big covered patio. We were able to bring our Corgi and she enjoyed the stay too!

Relaxed in Redington Shores

The home has a cool vibe and a nice kitchen. We used the pool and the hot tub daily and the walk to the beach was an easy one. The outside refrigerator was a bonus and the bed was very comfortable. Maybe a little landscape freshing up would be nice to see, but it sure wouldn't stop us from staying again.

House on the Beach

This place is fantastic. Close to sooo many things. We appreciated the privacy. The kitchen was stocked far better than any other property that we have rented. It was very clean, had a large pool and a great covered area by the pool. We ate outside, played games outside with the grandkids and the area was perfect for reading. The beach is about a 300 yard walk, several restaurants are also walking distance. We loved the place and will definitely use it again

Aug 8 - Aug 23

This is a very charming house in a great location. It sports the two common beach colors seen almost everywhere and the theme of the flamingos is tastefully spread throughout the property. Having a pool and hot tub made it feel like we were in our own private villa. We walked to the beach every day to swim in the mornings before work and sometimes to the pier for sunsets. The house is older and there were a few issues. But what happened is less important than what happened next. The owner was extremely responsive and very courteous including follow up texts to make sure everything was alright. This speaks volumes to the integrity of the owner. We recommend the place and would happily stay here again in a future visit. David & Yael

Pool was a disappointment

Location to beach is great. House is cute and stocked. Pool was a huge disappointment. Owner did get the pool company to come out and clean the pool outside of weekly cleaning. The pool guy pointed out the trees, shrubs and dirt so close to the pool was the problem. Once cleaned the pool looked beautiful for about 24 hours and even with me skimming the pool was gross yet again. Even more disappointing - the owner tried to tell me the photos I sent for his review were just leafs and not dirt.

Perfect Gem!!

This place was way more perfect in person. I was looking for something in the treasure island area when I came upon this one down the road in Redington shores. I had never stayed in Redington shores but can tell you I sure will be back. The house is perfectly set up with anything you need. Beds are very comfy...kitchen is fully accommodating....very clean and tidy with all the supplies to help you keep it that way. Washer dryer there was nice as I stayed for a month and like to have have clean sheets and towels. Plus I was able to pack less wich was a plus. The pool right outside the kitchen sliding doors was great. Beach just a short stroll up the road....towels beach wagon and chairs for you to take with. So Beach then come back and hop in the pool and relax before you go out to eat or fire up the grill. We opted to eat out...planned on grilling but so many places close to walk to or drive right to! Seafood...seafood...seafood!! Breakfast at frogpond or sweet basil....coffee or smoothies and bagel at gypsy soul. Dinner at Conch republic...Salt water grill...Seabreeze...Crabbys Bills just to name a few. Johns pass is minutes away down in treasure island where you can experience shopping...food beer and wine tastings and dolphin and manatee sightings. Like I said I definitely will return and am so thrilled this place came on at the time I was looking. I truly feel I was meant to find and stay at bellsparidise. The hosts are very friendly and will help with any questions. SYS!

A little slice of Paradise.

The house was very clean, well equipped. The location is perfect. A quiet local neighborhood but close enough to walk to restaurants. The pool is a plus.
