About this property

Dunes, Daisies, Surf, Sand, Sunsets...Historic BUTLERHOUSE, Pass-a-Grille

I look forward to welcoming you to this unique beachfront haven...

Your guest condo has a large open well-fitted kitchen with gas cooktop, refrigerator and dishwasher .....original heart of pine flooring throughout excepting kitchen and bathroom which have large Sautilla tile flooring. High ceilings, fans in every room, Mitsubishi split ductless a/c system, hurricane windows and doors, on-demand gas hot water.....

Original artwork elevates the open layout and comfortable furnishings, even the hallway is a joy...and the bathroom. You'll enjoy the convenience of the walk in shower, but you'll still have the option to luxuriate in the extra deep Grecian soaker tub. Bedroom is roomy enough for king bed or twins, plus bureau, wall tree and antique standing mirror, without feeling crowded.... "just right" leather couch and oversized armchair...Extra long British Colonial Daybed in alcove off living room if you're extra tall.... Views of the sea from the porch and bay windows depend on the season of the plumeria and seagrapes.......

Just steps out your door, enjoy Butlerhouse's historic gazebo for outdoor grilling and dinners, or just an afternoon swing on the bench with a good book, surrounded by sea breezes.

All amenities available to owner/residents are available to all guests, including free electronic front-loader laundry and grills and designated parking. This is a separate unit accessed only by the guest. Access to porch door has 5 steps with railing, access to main building door and back bedroom of unit is 5 steps off ground with hand railing.

Cleaning and disinfecting guidelines are strictly adhered to, I live across the hall and make sure of it. All surfaces are thoroughly disinfected and all bed/bath linens/spreads/pads laundered between guests, + there is a huge supply of extra linens in the unit for all beds and bath needs.

Property has private porch, private entrance, private parking, and relatively private beachfront.... there is no public parking in our neighborhood.

The Historic BUTLERHOUSE Condo is a charming boutique residential condo nestled directly in the dunes of Pass-a-Grille Beach. Walk our path through unmatched natural dunes....we are in the middle of a 10 block section of relatively private beachfront...yet close to everything.

Romantic , fun, restoring, BUTLERHOUSE #3 is an unusually airy and bright corner unit with private exterior entrance and private awning-covered porch.... DUNES, DAISIES, SURF, SAND AND SUNSETS...

Extraordinary BEACHFRONT location only 25 minutes from Tampa Airport. 45 minutes to Sarasota. 10 minutes to Ft. Desoto Park. 10 minutes to lovely vibrant downtown St. Petersburg on Tampa Bay, with myriad cultural and sports venues, recreational activities, music, theatre, galleries, shopping, European-style cafes and parks. Paradise is PASS-A-GRILLE!

Review my references and book today! I want to thank loyal guests who always support me, and also welcome new guests to this very special place. 4 night minimum please.


Sincerely,
joan

Quiet and Peaceful

If you are looking for a quiet, and peaceful place to stay with easy (and very cool) access to an equally peaceful beach, this is the place! There are no high rise buildings on this stretch of beach. The nearest restaurant/bar on the beach is a 25 Minute walk. Close enough to get to - far enough to keep foot traffic to a minimum.Joan is a great host. I will not hesitate to stay here again.

The stuff of memories

We had 2 wonderful weeks in this beautiful part of the world, a stone's throw from the stunning pass-a-grille beach. Quiet and peaceful location but also close enough to walk to restaurants/bars each evening. Joan was a great host and happy to help, in any way she could.

I fell in love with this place and the town of Pass-a-Grille!!

Adorable home on a lovely street and beautiful access to the beach. The place is so cozy and functional and has everything you need for a great stay. Joan, the owner is outstanding and really cares about your experience at her place. The area is wonderful with resturants and shops and public transportation to take you around town (6 - person golf cart called the freebee) I couldn't have been more pleased with my stay!!

Super Location and Wonderful Host

We had a wonderful time at Butler House. The location to the beach can't be beat. The area was quiet and we had the beach to ourselves which we loved. Joan is awesome and so kind and just wants everyone to have a great time. The condo was perfect for my husband and I and had everything we needed. Thank you again Joan for sharing your piece of paradise, it's just what we needed.

Butler house

Are stay at Butler house in unit 3 was absolutely amazing. Beautiful furnishings and a sense of feeling at home the whole time we were there. John Walker is an amazing property manager with a sincere caring touch. Pass-a-grille beaches and Shell Key as well as Fort Desoto were spectacular.

Nice comfy, homey condo on the beach.

We really enjoyed this place. The condo is tastefully decorated and feels like a real home. It is located in a historic building, but has all the modern conveniences, including central air, cable and WiFi. It is only steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, where the sunsets are to die for! And you won't have to put up with traffic and crowds, because it is in a residential area. Joan was very hospitable, and we had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. We would definitely stay there again.

I recently lost my husband in February. My grandparents lived across the street so I have fond memories as a toddler to young adult at this same beach. Joan made my stay so comfortable felt like home. It was just what my heart needed at this time. Will definitely be back

Butler House Vacation

Being our 4th stay in Pass-A-Grille, we thought we’d try something a little different off of the busiest part of the beach to something a little more private. It was so peaceful every day with nobody on top of you at the beach. Joan is the owner and, wow, what a sweetheart! And, she is on sight for any needs and she will even check in on you because she actually cares and is hands on. Bed was super comfy and the A/C rocks! Love, love, loved our stay and will definitely be back! Tony and Crystal

Second time to stay at this property

I had such a wonderful time a few years ago that I wanted to come back. Joan is lovely, the property is homey and perfectly located near the beach in a very quiet neighborhood. It is also a quick drive to the many amazing museums in the area. Thank you Joan for your kindness. I had hoped to see you and say goodbye but I know your work schedule prevented that from happening.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Walker

Host profile image
I've been blessed to live in Pass-a-Grille, in the Butlerhouse amid a ten block residential area of lovely homes and relatively private beachfront. I moved here from NYC many years ago. I work out of my home across the hall from this guest condo in a predominantly owner-occupied residential building. This is a blessed place, romantic, fun, restoring. Pass-a-Grille is a village community, a finger of land only one block wide, surrounded by the Intracoastal and the Gulf of Mexico...., a haven from which you can explore the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida and enjoy myriad venues, visit theme parks, villages, shopping, museums, galleries, theatre, orchestra, sports, cafes along Tampa Bay and parks, recreation...and the most beautiful beach in the world. It's a mix of village and luxury, artists and attorneys, a unique community, a place that's very hard to leave. I can tell you.....I finally came to visit in 1982 and essentially, I never left..

Why they chose this property

This property sits on the dunes amid a ten block section of relatively private beachfront in a historic residential beach community. It is still a secret, perched on the beachfront just 9 blocks south of the historic Don Cesar Hotel, but a half mile from the Bayway and direct access to I-275. Besides enjoying a lively historic community with our own main street Pass-a-Grille, one can go to dinner and a concert in Clearwater, Tampa, or Sarasota and be home by midnight. Explore the beautiful communities and beaches and river cafes along the Gulf coast of Florida.

What makes this property unique

This is a haven that's so easy to get to, and very, very hard to leave.
