Historic Pass-A-Grille

Located at the southernmost tip of the chain of Gulf beaches, the
historic village of Pass-A-Grille provides a quiet retreat from the
highrise beaches to the north. Settled in 1884, Pass-A-Grille is
the
oldest and most storied beach village on Florida's west coast.
Roughly 2 miles in length and 200 yards in width, Pass-A-Grille is
surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Boca
Ciega Bay. The famous jazz era hotel, the Don Cesar Resort and Spa,
provides the northern boundary of this quaint town. An authentic
turn of the century beach village, you will never need your car upon
arrival in Pass-A-Grille. Shaner's Corner Grocer and Delicatessen,
catering to all your needs, is one block away. Historic 8th Avenue
and pier, the 1920's heart of Pass-A-Grille is also just a stroll
away. On 8th Aveune you can relax and people watch, enjoy beach
taverns, restaurants, shops and art galleries.
There is a new addition to 8th avenue, the Dewey restaurant and rooftop bar located in the new 6 suite bed and breakfast Inn,The Berkeley Beach Club. Operated by local hospitality maven Maryann Ferenc with a menu designed by her James Beard Award winning partner Chef Marty Blitz , It is a fabulous place for your guests to stay and enjoy a magical night or special event. it is now our favorite local hangout spot.In Pass-A-Grille, there is never a dull moment. You will fall in love with this town!


Banyan Tree Cottage

Abstracts of title show that this beautiful 1920 Pass-A-Grille
cottage originally belonged to Carrie Phillips, the confirmed
mistress of President Warren Harding. So, while it's true that
Washington never slept here, it's a sure bet that one of our
presidents did. Over the years, the cottage has been lovingly
restored and cared for. Additions and
renovations were completed in the Fall of 2003 by its architect
owners, and recently in 2021 the kitchen appliances were replaced.
Settle in on the whimsical front porch and enjoy a view of the beach
275 feet to the west. On cool, breezier days retreat to the painted
wood sun room, the original front porch of the cottage now enlosed
with 12 fabulous wood windows. If privacy is what you prefer,
choose
the cozy rear screened porch that opens to a wonderful wood terrace
surrounded by tropical plants and shaded by a 100 year old Banyan
tree. For a unique tropical experience shower in the private outdoor
shower cabana with hot and cold water-under the Banyan's
canopy!

Banyan Tree cottage is our families weekend retreat first and
foremost and therefore is furnished and cared for unlike other
rental properties! We offer an unparralled experience in terms of
tropical style,character and comfort for those with discerning
tastes.
Note:If you would like to take a look at the house in person,it is
located at 102 18th ave.

Stayed three weeks in April. House is well equipped, very close to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Easy check in. Host was in touch during our stay to be sure everything was going well. We had a fine time. Recommend with 5 stars.

We’ve visited PAG several times over the years and usually stay at Inn on the Beach. We wanted to try something different this year and are very happy the Banyan Tree Cottage was available. The location was perfect, the cottage very pretty, and we were all comfortable. We especially appreciated the privacy afforded between the bedrooms and the rest of the house. Already looking ahead to next year there!

A very comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath house with a nice front porch on a quiet street. You can see a peek of the Gulf and bay from the porch. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need. Beach toys and chairs also provided. The outdoor shower was our favorite amenity, we never showered inside.

Perfect place for a home away from home just steps from the beach. The house is a rare remnant of bungalow days with all the modern amenities. The beach is steps away, The bigger trappings of St. Pete's Beach including dozens of restaurants, supermarket, etc., are a short hop away up the road but you get to hide away in the tranquil setting of Pass A Grill. Can't wait to go back if the opportunity arises.

Nice place to stay in Pass-A-Grille. Great sun room in front and front patio was nice. Nice functional kitchen. Would have loved more comfy furniture in sun room - spent a lot of time in there reading. Host was very nice and quick to respond when I had questions.

Lovely property and great location. One bed is very firm, while the other is very soft-take your pick! Really cute decor and well-equipped kitchen. It feels lived-in and comfortable and was sparkling clean. Stephen was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. I had no prior contact regarding entry code or where to park, so I had to figure those things out. Once inside, parking instructions were available, but would have been nice to know in advance where we were supposed to park. These were not huge issues, and Stephen was quick to respond as noted. The front porch was a nice place to just hang out, but bring your bug spray! We really enjoyed seeing the flock of wild, Nanday parrots every morning. So cool! The back, screened-in porch was really too small to use and no furniture was available for use there. If that front porch was screened, I may never have left! Another bonus was only 1 block from the marina where we got to rent our own small speedboat. What a thrill. Loved this place, truly a great stay!
