Ground-Floor 2BR/2BA Villa Steps from the Pool & Bay at Palma del Mar, Isla del Sol — St. Petersburg, FL Vacation Rental

No elevators, no stairs, no long hauls with beach bags — this recently updated Palma del Mar villa opens straight out to the lawn, with the heated pool, tiki-shaded sun deck, and Boca Ciega Bay just beyond the screened lanai. On Isla del Sol at the southern tip of St. Petersburg, Florida, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor rental is a natural pick for travelers who want easy access — snowbirds settling in for the season, families with little ones, or anyone who'd rather be poolside in thirty seconds flat.

The screened lanai is the villa's signature: ceiling fan overhead, cushioned seating, flowering gardens at the rail, and the pool and bay in constant view. Inside, the updated kitchen pairs white cabinetry and stone counters with stainless appliances — smooth-top range, dishwasher, microwave — plus a breakfast bar and buffet area for spreading out a meal. The dining table seats four beneath plantation shutters, and the living room's deep sofa and armchair face a large flat-screen TV, with tile flooring and wireless internet throughout.

The primary suite looks out over the pool and bay through a wide picture window, with a queen bed, flat-screen TV, and an updated en suite bath featuring a custom vanity and glass-door walk-in shower with mosaic tile accents. The second bedroom offers twin beds and garden views, next to a full guest bath with tub/shower combination.
Palma del Mar sits within Isla del Sol's 350 acres of manicured tropical grounds, where royal palms, island lakes, and shorebirds line the walking, jogging, and biking paths. Golf course views and Mediterranean architecture give the island its resort feel, with on-site parking near your door.

A short drive down the Bayway leads to Fort De Soto Park — kayak rentals, the Egmont Key ferry, and North Beach, one of America's top-rated. St. Pete Beach, Pass-A-Grille, fishing charters, sunset cruises, waterfront dining, and downtown St. Petersburg are all within easy reach.
