4/5 Stars - Cozy Location, But Room for Improvemen

This hotel has a lovely location right across from the beach and offers a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, our experience was significantly impacted by the check-in process. The front desk staff was unwelcoming and immediately informed us of a “strict no children policy” in a way that felt more like a scolding than a policy explanation. We were not provided with any information about amenities, the property, or our stay. This left us feeling embarrassed and anxious rather than welcomed. What was particularly confusing was that we couldn’t find this children policy anywhere on their website or booking platform - only a no pets policy was listed. In fact, we found rooms advertised as suitable for families with children, which made the interaction even more puzzling. The room itself was well-maintained, though the bathroom is quite small and would be challenging for taller or larger guests. While the property has potential with its charming beachside location, the unwelcoming check-in experience turned what should have been a relaxing getaway into a stressful situation. We had originally intended to extend our stay and ended up cutting our stay short to continue our vacation elsewhere. With improved customer service and clearer policy communication, this could be a wonderful place to stay.

The staff was super friendly & eager to help with any question we had. The room was spacious & clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to feel like we were cooking at home. The beach was easily accessible. The beach chairs were a little tall for us but luckily we brought our own. We were able to leave our things on the beach, grab a quick lunch & not feel like we missed any quality beach time! Highly recommend staying at the Inn on the Beach!

We had thee best time at The Inn on the beach. Everyone that works there deserves a raise. They went above and beyond to accommodate any need or request we had. I slept better in that bed than I have in years, I love the pillow so much I went out and bought one. I love the location the amenities, all of it. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this hotel. We plan to only stay here on any future trips. Thank you to a great group of people running a wonderful hotel!!

Amazing Location, Nice Room - Lacks Parking

The location could not be any better, especially the "Gulfstream" room itself. You can watch the amazing St. Pete sunset from your spacious balcony, or grab a beach chair (provided) and take a two minute stroll to the water and enjoy it from there. I really like the ease of self-check-in, and the nice beach towels and chairs we get to use. There are also bikes to borrow, but we didn't try that out. The room is cozy but also has plenty of space for two. The bed is a little firm, which is good for us. The AC unit kept the room nice and frosty, but the light that emits from it was pretty bright. If you're someone who likes it dark to sleep, you might get annoyed with the light. There are already pics of the room on here, and they're accurate, but let me tell you about the bathroom. It's not terrible, but it's just small. In fact, if we were larger people, we would not have been able to get into the bathroom. The room is located upstairs, so it is already not meant for someone who can't do stairs - but - the bathroom door opens up less than 90 degrees because it hits the toilet upon opening. And the sink is in the way from walking straight in. The shower is a normal size, but the space itself is really small. Lastly - the PARKING - or, the lack of parking. We arrived around 4p, and there was nowhere. The lot has 8 spots, the Inn has 12 rooms. We were told to park on the road, but no spots. If you arrive after sunset, the street will have space for you (or before 8a).

The staff was super friendly & helpful, particularly Tina, and our room nice. We could not have enjoyed our time there more and will stay at the Inn again. (Parking was a little difficult at times, but that problem is everywhere there; the staff went out of their way to assist finding parking and alternatives to driving — ie, the Freebees ap — so I can’t complain.)

Great spot, location is cool, dinning options walkable, great view of the sunset, only thing is the beach has a lot of shells so bring water shoes and we did have bad weather before I went so there was a lot of seaweed and the water wasn’t clear but it was warm. Overall, this is a very intimate and quiet spot and I loved it for me and the wife.
