The privacy and quiet was what stood out for us, and it was lovely and clean. Barbara was very accommodating with our change of plans, and prompt with communication.

The LOVE SHACK is a super cute place and the hosts are very kind and awesome people. It's in a great location to all the local attractions which is a huge plus. I think it's a great fit for 2 adults to sleep comfortably (it does have a pull out couch if you have little kids) My daughter is 12 and it was a little to small for her, but still doable. I loved all the comforts of home, including dishes and cups and a toaster and microwave, coffee maker and a fridge and etc. The shower is a bit of a challenge with the water pressure, but again it's doable. I loved the outdoor seats to enjoy all the beauty, but you do need to be prepared for the mosquitos. It's a great setup and super reasonable price. The other awesome thing I have to say is how the host had board games for us to play, which was an absolute win and super fun and simple way for families to make some memories. We had a good time and appreciated the hosts and the LOVE SHACK!

The love shack was ideal for us as we visited with family in St. Pete and Treasure Island. Mainly used it for a place to store our gear, have coffee in the morning, and sleeping at night. Our pooch was very comfortable too! Barbara greeted us right as we came in and was super helpful/ friendly. The low water pressure made it difficult to take showers and use the toilet… but we managed 😊. Thank you for a place to call home while on vacation!

* Affordable, cute, comfy and clean at a great location for exploring St. Pete
* Check in was earlier than most places I've stayed at (e.g. air B&B), at 2PM, and depending on where you are coming from and your plans, this can be a huge benefit. Worked out perfectly for me.
* Location was great for my desire to spend days at Fort De Soto
* Instructions were clear and check in was easy

Overall our experience was good, however the water pressure wasn’t really there so taking a shower was not easy, the stove top didn’t work very well and so we ate out more than we planned and there were a lot of soft spots in the camper. The owners seemed very nice but lingered more than I would have liked, my family and I enjoy being left alone especially when it comes to renting a place for vacation.

My husband and I spent four wonderful nights at the Love Shack. It was perfectly suited for our needs. Comfortable, relaxed, and well equipped. Barbara and her husband were friendly and down to earth and they have a few pets that were fun to interact with, too! This accommodation exceeded our expectations.
We would stay here again without hesitation. In fact, we've already begun talking about when we'll be able to return.

I went on a trip to get some relaxation. That was my main goal. The vibes of her property and the love shack itself were perfect. It had all the little touches you could ever imagine. Much more than a camping experience. It was better than staying at a hotel. The yard is an experience unto itself. Everything is decorated just so, to give the really relaxed, beachy, Florida vibe. It reminded me in a way of a mix between a tropical island and a tiki bar. But also, it was great that she has sustainable living processes in place. There is a composter for food scraps.
The love shack itself is really comfortable. It’s set up with everything you could ever need. I need a pen. It was there. Full set of dishes is there. A hot plate to cook on is there. Towels, washcloths, games for kids even. Even down to a yoga mat. Which I enjoyed quite a bit on my trip. I was traveling very late by motorcycle, so I didn’t have a lot of things with me. But everything I needed was already there. They did a great job setting that love shack up. I highly recommend staying here especially if you were trying to get some relaxed, chill vibes. It’s the perfect place for it.
The neighborhood is also very calm and quiet compared to the rest of the city of Saint Pete. I was really surprised. Driving there, I figured it was going to be loud and annoying. But the minute you pull into her neighborhood, it gets quiet and serene. I went for daily runs around the quiet, mostly car free neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay at Hipcamp. If your just planning a couple of days or a weekend and the weather is going to be nice then it is great. The yard is very quaint. Location was great. 15min by car to the beach. Close to Tropicana Field.

Barbara's camper is comfortable and well kept. The yard is lovely, and the patio is perfect for relaxing. We asked to see the bees, and got a fascinating tour. Definitely recommend the Love Shack.

The LOVEshack was everything I could have asked for! This is suburban glamping and a major upgrade if you are used to primitive camping. Electricity, a/c, a heater, hot showers, and a crazy comfortable bed made our stay easy and very enjoyable. We enjoyed shopping locally, the St. Pete pier and the proximity to a number of colleges that we were touring. If you are interested in beaches, there are numerous beaches within a 15 - 30 min drive. Barbara was very communicative and available if we needed her. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful stay awesome host, super cozy RV and nice private back yard. Stayed with my 5 year old daughter and kitty and really enjoyed our stay. Barbra and her family were super accommodating, love very to converse with, and allowed plenty of privacy. Although it is in the city it was surprisingly quiet. Highly recommend staying here especially for the price! Thank you Barbra!! Much love.

The Love Shack is super cute and cozy. I was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable the bed was. The hosts, Barbara and Paul, are also very sweet and helpful and the location is great. I travel to the St. Petersburg area frequently and will definitely be staying here regularly.

The camper was clean and spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 small kids. The camper is parked in their backyard. The backyard has been designed to be very relaxing with reclined lawn chairs, a small garden, and firepit with chairs encircling it. There is a cute lop-earred bunny in a cage in the backyard, also. We didn't encounter any real problems just the water pressure is low and we had to get used to how a camper toilet flushes.

I booked my stay with Barbara last minute (literally day before arrival) and she accepted it within the day which I was very appreciative of! I wasn't prepared to full on camp so finding this was a perfect in between. Barbara was kind and helpful throughout the stay.
The outdoor space was full of relaxing features ~ a hammock, fire ring, lounge chairs, and big tree's to shade out the hot Florida sun. The RV is private, had all the essentials for cooking (which I always look for in a stay), and the sleeping was comfortable.
Great little hidden gem in the middle of St. Pete! Easy access to beaches and downtown. Would stay again if I came back to the area.

For the price it was close to everything. It was tucked behind their home but private and a nice garden.

We wanted the best of both worlds, camping experience while being close to beaches and downtown. The Love Shack gave us exactly that. Thank you.

Upon arriving, the property in which the RV is located on is in a beautiful neighborhood and the house is very pretty as well. We loved the location, being so close to fort de Soto! One night we used the grill although it was more of a skillet-type flat has grill. It was so nice to have the ability to have the pets off-leash in the back. The host mentioned that they are Bee keepers, they pointed them out but we didn’t really see any flying around at all! The RV had hot water, great air conditioner, although low water pressure. The second and last night we were there unfortunately we did have a little issue. I was awoken by a cockroach at around 4am crawling on my hair. At that point we couldn’t go back to sleep so we ended up packing up and leaving back to Orlando at 4:30am. I was hesitant to leave this review, because overall we did love the RV, and cockroaches can easily be taken care of.
