This was really one of the best experiences with a hotel or B&B we've ever had. The atmosphere of this charming old, beautifully restored inn, the sorrounding lush garden with a lot of tropical plants and trees made it a lovely oasis we loved to return to after our exploration of the nearby interestung sites (the Pier, the Museum of...

I fell in love with this location before I even saw it in person. Just from looking at their website FAQ (with such jewels like "Q: Does the Inn have a guitar I can play? A: Yes, only if you don't break it or sound bad."), I knew this place was right in our wheelhouse. The first time I visited... More

I fell in love with the place the moment I walked in! My (now) wife and I decided to have our wedding here because of the beautiful location, the wonderfully friendly proprietors, and the convenience of being able to have the lodging, ceremony, and reception all in the same place. We took the Lighthouse Suite and never wanted to leave,... More

I had a wonderful weekend here! The staff was incredibly friendly and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! It had been too long since I viewed my accommodations as anything more than a place to rest, but I would gladly return just for the hospitality, atmosphere, and tremendously comfortable room.

My wife and I just returned home from my sister's wedding at Watergarden Inn at the Bay and the weekend could not have been more perfect. The proprietors (Bill and Wilder) are the sweetest couple and went above and beyond to make sure our stay (and my sister's wedding) was perfect. The rooms were great, the beds were ridiculously comfortable,... More

I live in St. Petersburg and had often walked by the Watergarden, noticing how attractive it looked from the outside. So when my husband had some boyhood friends down for the weekend, I decided to clear out of our house and spend the night there! It was even better than expected - the owners are lovely and my room (The... More

Our review mirrors those on here as well. We had a 3-night stay at Watergarden on a short trip for Spring Training baseball March 9-11. Bill and Wilder are most-welcoming hosts, preparing a light but delicious continental breakfast spread for us every morning (Bill's cappuccino is a MUST!). Less than 2 blocks to the ocean/pier, the only thing that we... More

Lovely B&B in heart of St. Petersburg. Everything is in walking distance from here- shops, great restaurants, the waterfront, pier and museums. Bill and Wilder are terrific hosts. By the time we left (we stayed 1 week) I felt like we were old friends. They were so friendly and accommodating. No request seemed too hard to fill. It was great... More

We were going to be in St. Petersburg and hoped to find a nice place that was near the museums, restaurants, and everything else the bay area has to offer. This B&B had stellar reviews, so we booked a room. What a great place! The innkeepers are personable and helpful. The location is convenient to everything. We parked the car... More
