Banyan Tree Cottage
Abstracts of title show that this beautiful 1920 Pass-A-Grille
cottage originally belonged to Carrie Phillips, the confirmed
mistress of President Warren Harding. So, while it's true that
Washington never slept here, it's a sure bet that one of our
presidents did. Over the years, the cottage has been lovingly
restored and cared for. Additions and
renovations were completed in the Fall of 2003 by its architect
owners, and recently in 2021 the kitchen appliances were replaced.
Settle in on the whimsical front porch and enjoy a view of the beach
275 feet to the west. On cool, breezier days retreat to the painted
wood sun room, the original front porch of the cottage now enlosed
with 12 fabulous wood windows. If privacy is what you prefer,
choose
the cozy rear screened porch that opens to a wonderful wood terrace
surrounded by tropical plants and shaded by a 100 year old Banyan
tree. For a unique tropical experience shower in the private outdoor
shower cabana with hot and cold water-under the Banyan's
canopy!
Banyan Tree cottage is our families weekend retreat first and
foremost and therefore is furnished and cared for unlike other
rental properties! We offer an unparralled experience in terms of

Summary: We’ve visited PAG several times over the years and usually stay at Inn on the Beach. We wanted to try something different this year and are very happy the Banyan Tree Cottage was available. The location was perfect, the cottage very pretty, and we were all comfortable. We especially appreciated the privacy afforded between the bedrooms and the rest of the house. Already looking ahead to next year there!

Summary: A very comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath house with a nice front porch on a quiet street. You can see a peek of the Gulf and bay from the porch. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need. Beach toys and chairs also provided. The outdoor shower was our favorite amenity, we never showered inside.

Summary: Perfect place for a home away from home just steps from the beach. The house is a rare remnant of bungalow days with all the modern amenities. The beach is steps away, The bigger trappings of St. Pete's Beach including dozens of restaurants, supermarket, etc., are a short hop away up the road but you get to hide away in the tranquil setting of Pass A Grill. Can't wait to go back if the opportunity arises.

Summary: Nice place to stay in Pass-A-Grille. Great sun room in front and front patio was nice. Nice functional kitchen. Would have loved more comfy furniture in sun room - spent a lot of time in there reading. Host was very nice and quick to respond when I had questions.

Summary: Lovely property and great location. One bed is very firm, while the other is very soft-take your pick! Really cute decor and well-equipped kitchen. It feels lived-in and comfortable and was sparkling clean. Stephen was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. I had no prior contact regarding entry code or where to park, so I had to figure those things out. Once inside, parking instructions were available, but would have been nice to know in advance where we were supposed to park. These were not huge issues, and Stephen was quick to respond as noted. The front porch was a nice place to just hang out, but bring your bug spray! We really enjoyed seeing the flock of wild, Nanday parrots every morning. So cool! The back, screened-in porch was really too small to use and no furniture was available for use there. If that front porch was screened, I may never have left! Another bonus was only 1 block from the marina where we got to rent our own small speedboat. What a thrill. Loved this place, truly a great stay!

Summary: We felt right at home at the Banyan Cottage. Tastefully decorated, well appointed, and very close to the beach! We were here during the red tide and the city just cleaned the dang beach on the day of our departure. We still had a blast. Lots of fun things to do all over the area. Stephen was a great host and the bungalow was wonderful! Lovely front porch, cute den, cozy living room with a ceiling fan, both bedrooms were good size with ceiling fans, and two bathrooms were key with our family of four. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone interested in a low key, relaxing vacation without the crowds. Thanks for having us!!!

Summary: This beautiful house was perfect in every way. Attractively decorated, comfortable with all necessary amenities, steps to the beach, stores and restaurants. The only negative of our trip had nothing to do with the house. Unfortunately, we arrived during “red tide” season which made for unpleasant odors and views of dead fish outside. Air conditioning in the house fortunately filtered out the odors. Despite the red tide, we’d happily come back to Pass-a-Grille and the Banyon tree house anytime!
