         🌈 Everyone Welcome 🌈

As a family who has towed campers across the US a couple times utilizing Hip Camp we know others will appreciate the ease of pulling into our little 1 acre urban oasis just a couple miles off the interstate in Floridas Coolest City.

It’s an ideal location to explore St Pete as we are right between the beaches and downtown (5 miles to St Pete beach, 4 miles to downtown -$10 Uber ride), Sarasota and/or Tampa. Ours is an urban spot based on ease, safety and location, not a wilderness "experience" 
We have a paved circular driveway overlooking our beehives, henhouse and seasonal garden where you’ll find a table with chairs and plenty of space to cookout and enjoy a quiet evening with a great sunset by the blowing bamboo. 

This is one of South St Pete’s oldest neighborhoods- it surrounds an active former PGA golf course and lively country club. It’s a great place for safely biking or walking with green spaces, tennis courts, playgrounds and dog parks nearby.

There are many owls, raptors, green parrots, purple martins and osprey overhead as we’re just a few blocks from the beautiful Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. - not to be missed!

The Pinellas Trail is just a short bike ride away too and can lead you to downtown. It is a cyclists favorite!

We love our city - happy to give recommendations. 

Welcome to our home! Please park to the RIGHT by the henhouse on the driveway

We LOVE our bees! (and we REALLY love their honey)

Elderberry strengthens the immune system, fights seasonal allergies, aids in digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties. We make it on site in small batches using our citrus honey & all organic products

Off the beaten path

This property was once a beautiful farm and was owned by the Rathel family.  It at one time had horses, chickens, and goats roaming about.  We hope to have a garden by the summer to start to restore what this property once was.Learn more about this land:We are right outside of the City just 5 miles from The shops at Wiregrass.  Only 3 miles from the Hillsborough river state park where they have a pool, biking trailer, kayaking, and hiking.  We are also less than 5 miles from the flat woods park with an 11 mile bike trail both paved and off road trails. We are 17 miles from Busch gardens and about 40 miles from multiple gulf beaches.  This secluded peace of property gets you close enough to everything you need yet private enough to have Peace and Serenity.  If you want to travel at a low cost or just want to take a break from the city hustle this is the place for you.

Island Retreat Florida

*****PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO BOOKING: THIS IS TRUELY AN ISLAND THAT IS UN-INHABITED OTHER THAN NATURE. DUE TO THIS FACT YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL WATERCRAFT OR ADD AN "EXTRA" KAYAK/CANOE RENTAL OR SHUTTLE SERVICES TO YOUR BOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL COST BEYOND CAMPING FEE. THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES REQUIRE A HUMAN BEING TO BE ON CALL AND DELIVER EQUIPMENT AND MACHINES FOR YOUR ADVENTURE. **** if ok with the above please proceed as there has been some confusion about islands. 

About the Island:

Ever wonder what it would be like to stay on a deserted island? This is truly an adventure you will never forget. Once you land in paradise you will wander thru the looping trail system to find your campsite. There are (5) campsites with elevated tent platforms tucked back in the trees.  Once you are settled in,  it is time to gather wood and build a fire in one of the (2) 8 foot wide,  2 ton concrete fire pits. 

 Awake a dawn with a nice kayak/canoe trip on a secluded water trail thru mangrove islands and stop for lunch at River's Edge Bar and Grill across the river from the island.  Having too much fun, take a nap in hammock and rock to breeze and sounds of river. 

This is an island is accessible via water only so there is some preparation to get here and stay here.  Kayaks, Canoes and a shuttle are available if you don't have your own transportation. 

Please contact prior to booking to ensure you understand the packages, for example,  if you want to rent the whole island for yourself and need transportation for your group. We offer tailored quote for package based on your needs.

Our Story:

After 6 years of my neighbor bugging me to buy this island, I finally took him up on it.  My neighbor bought it in the 1970's but did little with it. 

It has been overgrown for years. I am actively work to develop multiple campsites of the island for enjoyment of the river and its surrounding. All money from your stay here is re-invested back into the property.

Having fun on the upper deck at campsite #1.

Covers Bench and tent platform with adjacent tree bench and work-out station.
