The Hive is located in one of the most desirable and walkable neighborhoods in downtown St. Petersburg. Step outside and you’re just moments from Central Avenue, home to an incredible mix of restaurants, rooftop bars, cafés, craft breweries, boutique shops, and local art galleries. The vibrant St. Pete Pier, waterfront parks, and museums are also just minutes away.
This area is known for its energy, charm, and convenience — everything you want to experience is right at your fingertips. Many guests love that you don’t need a car to enjoy the best of St. Pete.

Getting around is simple and enjoyable thanks to The Hive’s prime walkable location. Most guests love that you can explore downtown St. Pete without needing a car — restaurants, cafés, bars, galleries, boutique shops, and the St. Pete Pier are all just a short walk away.
For added convenience, we have a special partnership with Bay E-Bikes, giving guests exclusive access to discounted electric bike rentals. Exploring St. Pete on an e-bike is one of the best ways to experience the city’s waterfront parks, murals, and local neighborhoods.
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are always available, and downtown offers plenty of electric scooters and traditional bike rentals. The SunRunner also makes it easy to travel between downtown and the beaches.
Parking details will be provided before arrival if you choose to bring a vehicle.
The Hive is located in a desirable urban area of downtown St. Petersburg, which makes it wonderfully walkable but may also include some typical city sounds. While the building is generally quiet, you may hear occasional traffic. The bedroom is positioned at the back of the unit, away from the street, offering a calmer and more restful sleep. For light sleepers, I also provide sleep machines to help create a peaceful environment.
Please note that The Hive is located on the 3rd floor, and the building does not have an elevator. Guests will need to climb stairs to access the unit.
You’ll also be close to some of the most scenic parts of St. Pete. A short walk brings you to the St. Pete Pier, waterfront parks, and palm-lined sidewalks perfect for sunset strolls, photos, or simply taking in the beauty of Tampa Bay. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with charm — colorful murals, historic architecture, and inviting local cafés are all part of the experience.
