Dream Mini-Break to St. Pete's

With two full coasts worth of glorious white sand beaches here in our new homestate of Florida, I have been seriously lusting after a mini-beach-holiday. Everyone I talk with says Clearwater Beach is the most beautiful, calming stretch of sand on the central Gulf side of the state. It also happens to be home to the most precious little hotel called the Postcard Inn.

For your viewing pleasure:

How great is this little retro renovated Travelodge? It has the perfect blend of fun and laid-backedness that I am dreaming about. Plus, they have a beach bar, so really, what more could you want?


Looks like one serious bundle of summer fun now doesn't it? Oh, did I mention rooms start at $89 a night or $79 a night for residents?! Once again, you are so very welcome.

If that isn't temptation enough, your four-legged children are more than welcome as well. Just south of St. Pete/Clearwater is 1,136 acres that makes up Ft. Desoto Park, also known as the Paw Playground and one of Southern Living Magazine's best dog parks.
