clean, nice 2 bed./2 bath apt. or condo or villa, within walking distance of the beach, south of St. Petersburg? Want it for 2-3 months next winter. Does such a place exist for $2000 a month?

How far south of St. Pete and does the coast matter?

That doesn't sound like much money for prime season -less than $70 a day for a 2/2 apartment? But if you could do November, December, and January you could do it a lot more easily than Feb. through April.

South of St. Petersburg Beach? So you mean Passe-a-grille? That is a very pricey area. I think you'd have to go higher.

Not many owners want to book only two months for next year. It's still too early in the season. They'll wait and hope for a 6-month renter before the snowbirds leave town.

Actually I was thinking of St. Pete Beach or anywhere further south on the Gulf. Don't care if we're right on the coast but would like to look over some kind of water and have a short walk/drive to the beach. Any suggestions?
