Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Founded in 2018, the St Pete Micro Farm (SPMF) is an ambitious project located in Saint Petersburg Florida. Resting on just 1/10th of an acre, this 1957 mid-century modern home hosts over 80 different species of fruiting tree and shrub. With the goal of blending natural beauty and innovative design, it's an ever-evolving space that is both inviting and surprising. During your stay, we invite you to enjoy an open-air yet tastefully private outdoor shower, or relax back into the big enough for two garden tub. A large outdoor kitchen area with a gas burner will also be available for your use. On chillier evenings, you can toast marshmallows by the fire pit, or just star gaze and let time trickle by. During the day, you'll be free to get online and catch up with the work world, or walk the garden and discover one of the many hideaways scattered around the property. You never know what will be in season, but with the guidance of one of your hosts, you can try a variety of fruits, greens, and berries if they're ready for harvest. A rich variety of wild birds visit regularly, recognizing it as a safe haven for wildlife. And though we can't guarantee you'll see a rare one, we can guarantee you'll see CHICKENS! Six of them in fact, Salty, Sleepy, Jet, Little Comb, Tapatio, and Dutchess. These friendly, curious, and fearless little marauders are guaranteed to make your acquaintance, and if you're not looking, invite themselves to share your breakfast. They free roam the yard during daylight hours, so please help us keep all gates shut to prevent them from going on an unscheduled field trip. They will also leave "landmines" on the pathways, so be sure to watch your step. We do our best to keep everything clean and tidy, but chickens abhor tidiness. And will go out of their way to unleash chaos at every turn. Still, we love the little bird brains and they are an entertaining addition to the grounds. They're also the reason we ask that all pets, and children under 12, be left at home. We thank you for your understanding and help in preserving the safety of our flock, and as thanks, please help yourself to any fresh eggs in the chicken coop. This is only a brief description, there's so much more to see on-site, but you'll also want to make your way out into the city (15 minute drive) for some of the unique flair St Pete is known for. Check out the Salvadore Dali museum and see his famous surrealist paintings. Visit some of the best beaches in the country, like St Pete Beach (15 minutes drive due West). Wander the Fort Desoto historical park area. Or Stop by the Morean Arts Center and see live glass blowing demonstrations, or just walk along Central Ave to soak up the cool vibe and rich city art scene. Complete with murals, sculptures, and a pier scene that's not to be missed.The Residency at St. Pete Micro Farm is a private, detached tiny room tucked into a one-of-a-kind urban food forest in St. Petersburg, Florida. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable full-size bed, Smart TV, mini-split A/C, refrigerator, microwave, and your own private toilet and sink. Your primary shower is an enclosed outdoor shower, with an optional two-person garden tub available for a relaxing soak. Step outside and you’re surrounded by the gardens, fruit trees, chickens, and the ever-changing activity of the Micro Farm. Guests are welcome to enjoy the shared outdoor spaces, including the outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and garden areas. This isn’t a traditional hotel or resort. It’s a small, creative, living property designed to give you a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience something a little different. Come stay at The Residency—and see what happens when a little piece of St. Petersburg is turned into an urban food forest.

My stay at the St. Pete Micro Farm residence was peaceful, relaxing, and I will definitely be booking this place again! The hosts were responsive, helpful, and it was so obvious how much love and care they put into the tiny house; it was extremely clean, well-stocked with the necessary overnight goodies, and smelled very fresh. Their garden was beautiful and offered more tranquility than I could have ever expected to experience in an urban setting. Every night I fell asleep to the soft sounds of locusts and birds, and awoke to the rustling leaves as they moved in the warm breeze. I left the micro-farm feeling so rejuvenated, I will be visiting St. Pete again just to stay here!!

Everything I hoped for in a micro-farm stay—and more! The tiny house is incredibly well laid out and had everything I needed. It feels cozy and thoughtfully designed without feeling cramped at all. I had such a good night’s sleep in the super cozy bed! The property itself is beautiful and clearly has so much thought and care put into it. I especially loved learning about the micro farm and watching the chickens—it’s such a peaceful little oasis. The location is also the perfect balance: tucked into a quiet neighborhood close to parks and walking trails, but only about 10 minutes from downtown St. Pete. You get the feeling of being surrounded by nature while still having easy access to everything in town. I would absolutely stay again!

This place is a vibe!

The accommodations were awesome. I chose the tiny house, which was a win. It's cozy, super comfortable, and laid out really well. In addition, it looks out on the flock of cute chickens. Endless entertainment. The hosts, Bill & Steph are so great. Not only are they friendly, the gave me the best recommendations for cool local spots. FYI, if you like wings and don't hit Mullets, you're doing yourself a disservice. My schedule didn't allow me to extend, but I found out that Bill was hosting a fire handling workshop shortly after I left! This place is so cool! I'm definitely coming back for one of those sessions. Long story short, my experience here was exceptional. 5 stars. Would definitely recommend.

Fun and unique St Pete stay!

Tent

We loved our stay here! We were in town for a music festival and thought this would be a fun and unique place for a homebase. The hosts were so gracious and accommodating. We love learning about all the different species of fruits and vegetables in their yard. I wanted to take all the chickens home with me!

Bill told me at the beginning of my 2-night stay that he intended for his micro-farm to be an inspiring place and I can confirm… the intention was felt! I left feeling inspired about many things… growing food, feng shui architecture, art, stories, circus life, and just living simply. The beauty of the quaint but rich land left me feeling like a freshly bloomed flower 🌸 If you’re a creative, you especially want to come take a few days in this space to create. creativity just seems to flow in the jungle-island-vibe. I play the ukulele and while I was here, I played for hours in the tropical garden! And wrote for the first time in a while too. Bill made sure I had everything I needed ~ pots, pans, ice, hammock to hang in, sugarcane juice to drink… he truly cares about making an experience enjoyable. I cannot wait to come back to camp at this magical backyard homey retreat again. Thank you Bill, Steph, Noah, Big Red, Salty, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, and all the other chicky girls 🐓 for a refreshing and meaningful time in your space.

We stayed here for a night and had a great time! Bill was so welcoming and accommodating from the minute we arrived. The tour of his place and the garden was so fun and we got to taste some fruits and veggies we had never heard of. Staying with the chickens was also a highlight, they are so friendly and cute and make great breakfast partners while having some fresh eggs. We would absolutely stay here again.

Magical Oasis

Tent

There are plenty of tiny hideaways and sitting spots sprawled around the front and back. Not much laying on the ground or hammock spots because of the chickens but I used the tent deck to do yoga after I packed up and the chickens didn't invade too much. It's a beautiful oasis on a city lot with some top notch amenities! The chickens are also lovely and friendly. :)

HIDDEN GEM!!

What a truly great find!! We just needed a place to sleep for a couple of nights while adventuring in the area. We definitely got more than we expected! This place is a whole unique experience!! The host William was so very attentive to details and was very knowledgeable about the extensive variety of plants on property. I just loved seeing, learning about and even tasting some of them! We opted for the tent because ours is so much work to set up. I absolutely loved the convenience of that!! Thank you for such a wonderful and thoughtful experience! Looking forward to visiting again soon!

We loved camping on this beautiful property. Getting there was simple and just a short walk to a gas station and strip center. We didn’t have a vehicle so we got some Door Dash. We LOVED the free range chickens on the property. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

William and Sarah provide the most unique and enjoyable camping experience I've ever had! Best of all is that they are extremely accommodating and go over the top to ensure you enjoy your stay. The weather didn't cooperate when I was there, so I added the tent with A/C option after the first night, and it was worth every penny. William will set it up for you along with a side table and table lamp. I laid my tent out to dry after the first night and William folded it up nicely for me while I was away for the day. They have several chickens and there are fruit trees all over the property. If I'm ever back in St. Pete, William and Sarah's place will be my first choice!

A Wonderland of Plenty

This was such an incredible find! We rented the tent and got the tour and are blown away by how gorgeous the property is. The hosts are so very kind and valued members of theirs community. They were extremely helpful on every front and constantly went out of their way to make sure our stay was as peaceful and enjoyable as possible. We were constantly being offered little things here and there that made our stay feel like a home away from home. William is an extremely knowledgeable person with a passion for life, plants, and community. Every day was a new chance to learn and enjoy the beautiful community of st pete. It’s a quick and easy drive to any store you may need as well as a short walk to a beautiful community park on the water. Speaking of walking, the neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful as well with wonderful neighbors that we found ourselves chatting with from time to time. Overall an incredible place to be with all the amenities you could desire as well as plans for more to come. We will be staying here again very soon if only to enjoy our new friends by the water.

St. Pete’s Micro Farm was amazing! So much to experience in a short time. Got to feed and pet the chickens, and go on a tour of the micro farm. I was met with super friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Able to sample some exotic fruit that was in season. I arrived in the rain and a tent was already waiting for me, so very thoughtful and accomadating. Loved the outdoor shower! Thank you so much, highly recommend.
