My husband and I stayed at the Dickens House for three days in November. We loved the house, the hospitality - including great restaurant and cultural highlight recommendations and the lovely breakfasts. We were able to walk to many stores and restaurants in the downtown area. The room was very clean and comfortable. Our stay here was a highlight of our week in Florida.

My husband and I came down for a quick getaway while our son stayed with his grandparents. Ed was wonderfully accomodating, and so interesting to talk with! We loved everything about our stay--our spacious suite, the lovely house (including the homemade cookies for the late night "cookie monsters") , the other folks in the house, the meals that we had in town and culminating with the scrumptious breakfast laid out for us in the morning. From start to finish everything was great-- warm, inviting and enjoyable.

The personal service and incredible gourmet breakfast that innkeeper, Ed Caldwell, offers is not to be missed! I bring my camera to breakfast the meal is so beautiful and delicious! It's down home comfort and southern hospitality with an upscale edge.

My husband and I arrived at Dickens House on Thanksgiving Day; since the owner was going to be away that day, he gave us the key code. When we entered, the house itself seemed to welcome us. The living room had groups of comfortable chairs around a fire place with tables and books and magazines. The wide stairs led to our room. It was the smallest in the house, but it provided everything we needed or wanted with shelves, lights, storage in the most convenient places. Everything was immaculate and beautiful. Windows were equpped with gauzy curtains, shades and Roman blinds so that you could adjust it to your taste or need. The bed was extremely comfortable. The house was so quiet that we were surprised to find other guests at breakfast the next morning. Ed, the host, cooked delicious breakfasts. My husband and I are lactose-intolerant and often find that B&Bs can't provide us with a good breakfast without dairy products, but Ed had no problem making luscious meals we could enjoy. Dickens House is in the historic district, but very close to all the places you come to St. Petersburg to see. YOu can walk to most of the town. Ed provides excellent off-street parking, but there is ample curbside parking, too. If you need advice or directions, Ed is quick to help you. His friendship made our stay memorable. Dickens House is offering wedding packages now and I only wish we could have had ours there. It would have been terrific! As it is, we'll have to settle for going back as often as possible for romance and fun.
