The Reveal
Near LGBTQ+ SceneCentral location
Enjoy your vacation in the memory of Marilyn Monroe with tastefully painted walls in her favorite colors of red, black and white. Rest in the cozy queen-sized bed while watching the 46" smart TV or walk down memory lane glancing at the collage wall of portraits. Enjoy cooking in your full-sized kitchen stocked with all the essentials you need to prepare your own meal. Your private bath has all the supplies to get ready to go out on the town for the evening: fresh towels, shampoo, body wash, hairdryer and, of course, toilet paper. This suite has stairs and overlooks the backyard paradise. Complimentary mimosas upon arrival to help unwind from traveling. Enjoy!
Only 3 mins from the gay bars!!!
When you don't want to leave, these are the things that you can be enjoying:
The Misting Beach Lagoon: complete with comfy lounge chairs to make relaxing in the sun a breeze. Cool off in the shallow lagoon water (unique pool - heated when temps are above 60) that is surrounded by lush green landscaping, while floating under suspended misters.
Hot Tub: warm your muscles and get an invigorating massage at the same time, underneath the umbrella of trees.
Social Space: nestled in the corner of the property is a cabana area with couches, chairs and a variety of outdoor games, such as Giant Jenga® & Giant Connect Four®.
Picnic Area: close to the hot tub is a large round table with a burgundy umbrella for shade. BBQ up a storm on the gas grill with the cooking utensils provided.
Fire pit: beautiful wood-burning fire pit, located next to Misting Lagoon, for all of those chilly and not-so-chilly nights. Wood included on the premises.
Zen Rain Shower: an outdoor cooling rain shower complete with massaging pebble stones underfoot, surrounded by lush greenery and maybe a peeking eye or two.
Wi-Fi Haven: high-speed wi-fi throughout entire premises. Included with your stay.
Parking: one space per suite is available in the rear of the property, off of 41st St and 1st Ave S.
The SunRunner: new as of Summer 2022. St. Petersburg's new beach-to-downtown trolley system. Ride one way for $2.25 and save on transportation. Closest stop right outside on 1st Ave S. Look for the SunRunner sign.
Add'l: washer and dryer, snacks & soda, and day passes available for an additional fee. Please inquire for details.

What an awesome stay! The place is beautiful - the pictures don't do it justice. And Ken was a marvelous host. We are already planning our return.

Always enjoy coming to St Pete and now we've stayed at 'Gay Paradise' we will come more often. The rooms are spacious and the grounds perfect for relaxing. There is also the biggest hot tub I've ever seen. Ken operates a great place to stay.

Ken was a fabulous host and was very helpful throughout the whole process. He also invited me to one of his events on Saturday night. I definitely recommend this as a great place to stay. Thank you Ken.

My 2nd stay here and it was just as perfect as before. My only downside is having to leave. Ken is such a gracious and welcoming host. There's nowhere else in the St. Pete area that can compare

This was a great find and I will definitely be coming back when I come to St Pete. Ken was very kind and accommodating to our needs and easy to communicate with. The pool and hot tub were great to relax in. All in all it was exactly what we needed. The bed was comfortable to my 6'4" friend and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed. Theo the dog is very cute and curious. No trouble with parking.

I just enjoyed 3 nights in the Marilyn suite. The property is truly a paradise and the room is gorgeous! Ken is one of the most welcoming hosts I've stayed with. I'm already booked again and can't wait to get back!
