Great stay at historic B&B in St Pete

We stayed 5 nights in March with our 2 year old yellow lab, Luna and loved it! It was a perfect fit .
We stayed in Veranda Suite 106. The pet rooms have vinyl wood look floors, ours opened to the veranda and we enjoyed the rockers and sipping coffee or wine depending on time of day. There was plenty of room for her crate, bed , etc. the keyless entry was convenient, as was parking. Being on the first floor made taking her out easy and there was a great neighborhood which felt very safe to walk (sidewalks) and Sunset Park on the water across the street ( busy but there was a crosswalk button ). Bring poop bags. They do provide a big trash can at each side of the building to discard trash.
We were given dog treats on arrival and the staff could not have been more welcoming. We had access to all areas except the dining room and pool. Luna ended up playing with little girls from Spain our first day in the common area. Breakfast was nice in a historic dining room with lots of windows, we also ordered in pizza ( Central Pizza). Box lunches can be ordered. A good option for staying in and while Luna could not be in dining room, there was the patio, veranda, room to eat in if not going out. We found Caddy’s on Treasure Island let dogs on their lower beach tables so that became a favorite place for dinner and sunset. ( go early, parking is limited). 10 min drive. The opposite way on Central had interesting neighborhoods, museums, and coffee shops and ended in historic old St Pete. (20 min drive)
Dogs are allowed at many outdoor cafes. We took her to Frescos on the Pier. And to Vinoy Park. So many of the businesses bring water bowls
St Pete was a very positive pet experience. The Crystal Bay Hotel and Caddy’s made it a great first FL pet vacation- I was sorry to leave!
( we were not able to do the popular dog beaches due to red tide but had plenty to do even without those)
