You can enjoy the soothing ambience and plush comforts of a private swimming pool or personal Jacuzzi in a wide range of St. Petersburg vacation homes or villas that allow you easy access to nearby attractions as well. Those with an aquatic bent can explore the waters with an exciting electric boat ride at the electric marina from half an hour to whole day or go on a sunset cruise. If you are looking for fun, hire a four or six seat surrey-bicycle from the pier or purchase fishing equipment from Pier Bait House and try your luck fishing. You can also peer at queer fish in the Pier Aquarium or watch the natural surroundings from a classic observation deck on the pier. If you wish to explore Florida beaches, Gulfport and St. Pete Beach can be visited.

One of the most unique attractions that you can visit in St Petersburg is a 19th century pier, in the form of an inverted pyramid which stands as a five-story tall complex of shops and restaurants. You can also explore a number of museums and try out biking, in-line skating, or hiking on a relatively smoother landscape here. Guests of St Petersburg vacation rentals with a more artistic bent of mind will find attractions such as The Museum of Fine Arts, The Salvador Dali Museum, and Florida International Museum ideal spots to spend their leisure time. The Boyd Hill Nature Preserve presents you with a beautiful landscaping and ecological systems in their natural state. Sunken Gardens is another fabulous attraction for nature lovers with an exotic collection of tropical vegetation, fluttering butterflies, and chirping birds. Treat yourself to a delightful combination of man-made and natural creations in this land of wonders and complement it with the luxury and exuberance of St. Petersburg vacation rentals to complete the circle of satisfaction.
