Everything about our stay was flawless. The location is ideal...we walked to everything. The pool was fabulous after a day of seeing the sights. Our room was The Hibiscus, which was lovely. It was a corner room, so it was nice to have windows on three sides. Bell, the owner, was wonderful. Accommodating, funny, happy...the epitome of what an innkeeper... More

I stayed in several rooms in March and was very impressed with the inn as a whole, and particularly with the owner, Bill. He could not have been more accommodating and pleasant. The rooms are all different, allowing for individual tastes and needs. They are all tastefully decorated, and clean. Breakfast is continental plus, which is fine because it leaves... More

We stayed at the Watergarden Inn for 1 night only but Bill the owner made us feel very welcome. We had two rooms - The Hibiscus and The Egret which could be made private by closing the connecting door. The Watergarden Inn is in a great location and a short walk from numerous restaurants, tne Pier, galleries and stores. The... More

Although we were there for an unhappy family occasion, Bill made our stay most enjoyable. We were lucky enough to enjoy three different rooms ( due to our last minute arrival) and each one was fabulous and cozy. Loved the featherbeds and tubs! We will definitely be back!!!

I spent four nights in the Bay Gables Suite and simply didn't want to leave. The Inn is in a perfect location and walking distance to everything. Very clean and the owner Bill is a delight! I highly reccomend the Watergarden Inn at look forward to returning for a longer stay.

We just returned from a long weekend in St. Pete and stayed at the Watergarden Inn. This is a wonderful Inn located in the heart of St. Pete and could not be any closer to the waterfront, museums, restaurants, etc.. If you want to experience St. Pete without the formalities of a hotel than this little Inn should be your... More

Just returned home from a four-day stay at Water Garden Inn at the Bay, a bed and breakfast we've visited for many years under previous owners Denis and Jewly. New owner Bill has taken a great place and made it even better! Beautiful new pool, wonderful "updates" - and Bill is an awesome host. Breakfast changes are wonderful - so... More

Our team from work had a great one night getaway to this charming place. We were able to hang out in a variety of settings - around the pool, in the common room and then around lovely St. Petersburg. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the location was very convenient to everything we needed. Bill, the owner, took very... More

My wife and I just spent three nights here and loved it. The owner, Bill, couldn't have been more helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The inn is undergoing a significant renovation, so it's a work in progress, but our stay was perfect, and the place is going to be even nicer when all the work is done, which won't be that... More

My husband and I are B&B junkies. We love them! We stayed at Inn at the Bay in September '11 and cannot wait to go back. Bill, the innkeeper, was awesome! He made sure we had everything we needed and was great about telling us the local hot spots and even the history of the building. As for the cold... More
