What You Need to Know 

The Look of Postcard Inn On The Beach

It's All in the Details

Postcard Inn On The Beach is just steps away from the clear-blue waters of St. Pete Beach. 

The hotel, which oozes historic charm, was one of the first properties built in the area. The current vintage-inspired design draws on the hotel's history as a spot for surfers looking to catch the next big wave. There are also 196 beachy-chic rooms, some of which face the pool or garden. If you prefer more space, opt for one of the bungalows equipped with a King bed, a sitting area, and an oceanfront balcony. 


The Vibe at Postcard Inn On The Beach

After an afternoon at the beach or pool, head back to the hotel to grab a bite to eat at Beach Bar & Snack Shack, which looks just like an old-school beach shack complete with license plates and kitschy signs. Don't forget to take a sunset stroll along the beach before retreating to your room for the night.
