Sand Vista Vacation Rentals - A 1950s waterfront motel with heated bay-view pool and boat dock in North Redington Beach

Located directly on Boca Ciega Bay inlet, this pet-friendly St. Pete Beach hotel preserves authentic 1950s Floridian 'Mom and Pop' charm. Sand Vista Vacation Rentals features air-conditioned apartments and studios equipped with full kitchens, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. Each unit includes outdoor furniture, while apartments offer separate living rooms and bedrooms. A heated in-ground pool overlooks the bay, complemented by a fishing dock and boat facilities. The waterfront Sand Vista stands 190 feet from Gulf of Mexico's white sands, with Redington Long Pier 0.3 miles away. Positioned in the North Redington Beach district, the property sits 1 mile from Seaside Seabird Sanctuary and Gulf Boulevard, 4 miles from Johns Pass Village Boardwalk, and 15 miles from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport.

“Sand Vista Vacation Hotel impresses with its prime St. Pete Beach location, placing you steps from the sand and within easy reach of local eateries. The staff earns consistent praise for attentiveness, while the provision of beach essentials adds tangible value. I think this is a solid pick for those prioritizing convenience and a friendly atmosphere.”
