Florida’s Gulf Coast just earned a serious culinary nod. The 2025 Michelin Guide has officially recognized four standout restaurants in the St. Petersburg region, confirming what locals have known for years—this is one of the most exciting food destinations in the state.
As the premiere vacation rental company with properties in Treasure Island, Redington and Madeira Beach, we invite you to stay near the sand and enjoy the short drive to some of the most celebrated dining experiences in Florida. Enjoy quiet beach mornings, explore the area by day, and head into St. Pete for an unforgettable evening meal.
