Gulfport, Florida
Pinellas County, Florida, has many towns and municipalities in addition to the two major cities, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. One of these is Gulfport, a small "artsy" town with a casual air - less than 15,000 residents and easily accessible from St Pete, Tampa and Clearwater - it's just 15 minutes from downtown St Pete. It has a white sand beach, a pier to dock your boat, and a Casino - though it's for dances and socializing, not gambling. Renovated cottages hold shops, art galleries and restaurants. Two old familiars are on Beach Blvd S - Backfin Blue, renowned for its crabcakes, and La Cote Basque, a family restaurant with Continential cuisine. Now there's a new restaurant, overlooking Boca Ciega Bay. It's at the intersection of Beach Blvd S and Shore Blvd S, just across from the Casino. The open air dining on the second floor is a wonderful place to eat, feel the breezes, and overlook the waterfront and the bay. Their crab chowder is excellent, followed by either a grouper sandwich or a Cuban. The http://www.seabreezemanor.com/ is a bed and breakfast just across from the beach. If you're lucky you can book one of their two cottages, the Key West or Key Largo. A great day trip or weekend spot - or just drive or boat over for lunch.

Hi Sharon_We are looking for a short term lease in the Gulfport area. Our son lives on Dupont Street and would like to be in the area. Two adults, no pets. I can be reached at 203-241-0071/\. Thank you, Lee Wright
Lee - sorry, but I don't handle short term leases. I'd suggest contacting Barbara Capalbo at Capalbo Rentals 727-866-2494 or http://www.capalborentals.com They handle hundreds of rentals and ONLY do short term leases.
