St. Pete/Clearwater is where you want to be! Close to everything, yet miles away. A beautiful peninsula located on Florida's West coast, the area is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and by Tampa Bay to the east.
Home to America's Award Winning Beaches. Made official by TripAdvisor's 2009 list of the top ten beaches in the U.S., Fort De Soto Park took top honors for the second consecutive year, while Honeymoon Island State Park ranked ninth.
