My Wife and I went to St. Petersburg this weekend to take in a Corvette Show at The Pier. After reading the reviews of the Watergarden Inn and the proximity to the waterfront, we booked our reservation. The hospitality given to us by the owners Bill and his Wife Wilder far exceeded anything that we have ever experienced. The rooms... More

We are not usually B&B/Inn people. We usually stay at vacation clubs, so we didn't know what to expect. However, the location and reviews of Watergarden Inn were enticing, so we tried it. We were glad we did, had a great time and had no regrets. The owners are lovely people who take great care of the property. They create... More

This was really one of the best experiences with a hotel or B&B we've ever had. The atmosphere of this charming old, beautifully restored inn, the sorrounding lush garden with a lot of tropical plants and trees made it a lovely oasis we loved to return to after our exploration of the nearby interestung sites (the Pier, the Museum of...

I fell in love with this location before I even saw it in person. Just from looking at their website FAQ (with such jewels like "Q: Does the Inn have a guitar I can play? A: Yes, only if you don't break it or sound bad."), I knew this place was right in our wheelhouse. The first time I visited... More

I fell in love with the place the moment I walked in! My (now) wife and I decided to have our wedding here because of the beautiful location, the wonderfully friendly proprietors, and the convenience of being able to have the lodging, ceremony, and reception all in the same place. We took the Lighthouse Suite and never wanted to leave,... More

I had a wonderful weekend here! The staff was incredibly friendly and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! It had been too long since I viewed my accommodations as anything more than a place to rest, but I would gladly return just for the hospitality, atmosphere, and tremendously comfortable room.

My wife and I just returned home from my sister's wedding at Watergarden Inn at the Bay and the weekend could not have been more perfect. The proprietors (Bill and Wilder) are the sweetest couple and went above and beyond to make sure our stay (and my sister's wedding) was perfect. The rooms were great, the beds were ridiculously comfortable,... More

I live in St. Petersburg and had often walked by the Watergarden, noticing how attractive it looked from the outside. So when my husband had some boyhood friends down for the weekend, I decided to clear out of our house and spend the night there! It was even better than expected - the owners are lovely and my room (The... More

Our review mirrors those on here as well. We had a 3-night stay at Watergarden on a short trip for Spring Training baseball March 9-11. Bill and Wilder are most-welcoming hosts, preparing a light but delicious continental breakfast spread for us every morning (Bill's cappuccino is a MUST!). Less than 2 blocks to the ocean/pier, the only thing that we... More
