What—Never heard of Pass-A-Grille Beach? Well, then, before we tell you about our house we’ll have to educate you about the first beach community on the Gulf of Mexico to be developed as a weekend get-away location for successful Tampa and Saint Petersburg residents.

The area is a small spit of land merely 31 blocks long and one block wide at the south end of St. Petersburg Beach, starting just south of the historic Don Cesar Hotel. Pass-A-Grille got its name from Cuban fishermen, called “Grillers,” who would camp on the island to smoke their catch of fish before heading home. As you traveled through the pass you could see their fires, hence the name Pass-A-Grille.

Pass-A-Grille is NOT your typical Florida “beachy” beach town with hotels, motels, swimsuit stores and fast food stores wall-to-wall, If you are looking for this, you’ll have to go further north, past the Don Cesar. Pass-A-Grille is more sedate with a convenient grocery, quaint shops, inviting bars and restaurants, and a more relaxed style. And, everything is within easy walking distance, because the blocks are short.

22 blocks of beachfront and walkway a few steps to a nearby dune walkover. Once you cross the dune you’ll be presented with a wide, sandy beach stretching in both directions. It's like having your own private beach. There are never big crowds. A locals secret.

You’ll find some good bars, restaurants, and ice cream shops on this (the west) side. The Hurricane Restaurant is one of the most popular places, and you’ll get a great view while sipping a drink at the third-floor bar. By the way, there are no high-rise hotels on Pass-A-Grille—there are a couple of 7-story condos, but that’s it—

Or, walk one block to the other (east) side of the island, where you can dip a line in the water, arrange a fishing charter or scenic cruise, or merely stroll along the marine sites to some rather excellent restaurants. Less than an hour from the many attractions in Tampa and St. Petersburg. Our house is 2 blocks from the southern end of the island, and as close to “on the beach” as you can get. To the west there is the Gulf of Mexico, the beach, the street, and our house.

Pass a grille is a very easy town to navigate. There are two main roads. One on the Gulf and the other on the inter coastal water way. There is a trolly system that will take you to many parts of St Pete. You don’t need a car if you don’t want one

You don't really need a car in Pass a Grille. The free beach ride provides a local shuttle service from St Pete Beach to Clearwater Beach. Just tip them.

We provide 1 parking pass

Perfect Pass A Grille beach home

Beautifully appointed home located on Gulf Boulevard in Pass A Grill. House has everything you may need in a perfect location across the street from the beach. The outstanding front porch also lets you enjoy the sun and views. Homeowner was a delight to work with. Highly recommend.

Excellent house in Pass A Grille

The best place to stay in Pass A Grille. The house is in a quiet location, very clean, and nicely furnished. It is across the street from the beach and convenient to shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back. Owners are great people, very personable, available, and easy to work with.

Amazing stay in Pass-A-Grille

Beautiful and clean home right next to the beach. It was very easy to be comfortable here with a well stocked kitchen, and beautiful patio with a charcoal grill. Private bathrooms was a plus with a teenage girl. As well as being able to wash a load or two of laundry in the washer/dryer. We loved all the unique wildlife in the area. Sunsets were amazing. Thank you Katie.

Beautiful Beach Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Pass-a-grille in this lovely home. The home was set up perfect for indoor and outdoor relaxing. The Beach just a short walk across the street was great. We enjoyed sunsets and morning walks. The home has everything you need for comfort. Beautiful home! Thank you Katie for sharing it with us and being responsive to any questions.

Perfection in Pass A Grille!

We have stayed in this great condo every year for the past three years and hope to continue to do so for the foreseeable future! You can't beat the location: directly across the street from the beach; far enough from the hustle and bustle to keeps things quiet, yet close enough to walk to shops and restaurants. You can't beat the condo: open layout with unobstructed views of the gulf and nice furnishings; beach bikes, beach chairs, beach towels are all provided. You can't beat the owners: friendly, eager to please and with lots of local area knowledge. This is the perfect spot from which to enjoy your stay in Pass a Grille!

Dream house

This house was the perfect place for our family of 5 including child to create lasting memories. The deck outside overlooking the beach is ideal, the 2nd bathroom even though it is only accessible from the outside worked out super well for showering after the beach when everyone came back at the same time. Kitchen has everthing you need to prepare meals, you can watch the sunset from the dining area, the separation of the bedrooms allows privacy, and I could go on raving. Would come back in a minute!

Much needed vacation

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful place and Ms. Katie was a pleasure to work with. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. I am a planner(husband says I ALWAYS bring to much stuff) I packed beach chairs, beach umbrella, towels and laundry and cleaning supplies. Which was provided by Katie. ( As much as it pains me to admit he was right this 1 time. Lol) We will definitely visit again. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Home away from home

We are currently living in Tampa and wanted to spend more time in Pass a Grille than just a day trip. Katie and Terry have a beautiful, comfortable home that is in the best location! We were able to cross the street to the beach or walk 6 blocks to 'town'. The house has a great open floorplan with two large bedrooms, each with their own bath. The deck outside is just as pictured with comfortable furniture and charcoal grill. Katie and Terry are so adorable and friendly, attentive, and the house is spotless. It also has everything you need with technology, linens, beach chairs/umbrella, and fully stocked kitchen. We hope to be back in the near future!

What a wonderful little vacation spot! Cottage was a exactly as I had expected from owners description. Great beach for those who can't walk long distances in loose sand, just enough beach! Easy walking distance to good restaurants and shops. Short drive (or free shuttle) to major beach shops and grocery. Enjoyed every sunset!!

Relaxing Casual Beach Get Away

Stayed week of Christmas 2021. Well stocked house - very pretty view for nightly sunsets and an enjoyable and comfortable stay! Bed and pillows very comfortable which is rare. Owner helped bring in a few items we ordered in advance bottles water etc. which was really helpful. Beach has a lot of broken shells so shoes are needed, not much depth to beach but nice and a good distance for walking - I walked to the Don Cesar hotel on the beach several times. If you’re looking for that powder white sand this is not the area - which is interesting since both north and south you can find them but it may be all the shells and their color. A house is just starting to be built an arms length from this one, so might want to check on that as they started construction very early in the morning the first half of our trip and then they stopped starting Christmas Day. (Owner had no idea they would be starting work so no fault there). So we did go an hour south and stayed one night at the Ritz in Sarasota, for a change and to sleep in. Also there lots of boutique shopping and nicer restaurants in St Armand’s Circle so it was a nice compliment to being “away from it all.” Only one nicer restaurant in PAG (Grace) a few blocks away (are there twice). So that’s something to note if you like fine dining as it’s mostly flip flop style places/bar food in PAG. So you’ll need to drive. All the people we met were really nice around the area, and there’s a few cute stores on 8th St which is where Grace is, and seemed to be the little stores in the area are as well. Highly recommend local place, Shaner’s market, it is a couple minute car ride or a 15-20 minute walk away - groceries, meat and seafood market, deli with (boar’s head) and basics. No need to cook breakfast and have to clean up as they make great breakfast sandwiches that are excellent quality and very inexpensive. Have fun!
