The best spot along St Pete Beach
Pass-a-Grille is an unbeatable location for a relaxing visit to the St. Pete Beach area. The facility was quaint and clean, parking was good and the location and access to restaurants, drinks, the beach, etc. was fantastic.
The only negative I could possibly note is that the bathroom was very small

Clean and conveniently located
Loved the space. Add a broom or sweeper for sand. Nice beach gear was all there.
We stayed for a weekend getaway and absolutely fell in love with our accomondations. I do not even know where to begin!!! Location was beyond fantastic, it is in the historic 8th Ave shopping area. It was one block from the beach!!! Super cute room...loved the decor. It was so bright and cheery. The attention to detail was amazing right down to a basket of beach towels!!! Will definitely be our go to when visiting Pass-A-Grille beach.
