History of the Manor

One of Florida's grand old homes, Sea Breeze Manor was built in 1923, at a time when this part of Florida was known best as a winter playground for some of the world's best known writers, personalities and artisans. The spacious main two-story house was built in a classic Tudor style, perched on the edge of the boulevard overlooking the park bordering the shimmering aqua waters of Boca Ciega Bay.

A private residence up until the time the present owners Lawrence and Patty Burke acquired the property in 1996, it has recently undergone a marvelous refurbishment. As building contractors in their previous careers, both Burke's personally supervised the entire restoration and renovation of the residence, preserving every ounce of it's natural character and charm, yet updating it with the latest modern conveniences. While many other B&B's brag of their famous ghosts, here you'll likely discover only a very large part of the Burkes' heart.

Had enough of kicking-back? Then treat yourself to one of our many local attractions or areas of interest. We're within a short drive of just about every experience you could hope for-theme parks, shopping, sporting events, boating and fishing excursions and famous historical areas are just minutes away. And, as one of the St. Petersburg area's "best kept secrets" you'll find plenty to do without even leaving our Gulport neighborhood. Having recently undergone a revival, it features a number of excellent restaurants and galleries, not to mention our famous, pristine beach. Borrow one of the manor's bicycles just outside your door and take your own private tour!

Just off the beaten path, tucked between a quaint and brick paved street in the warm tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico, you'll find that very special Island escape you've been promising yourself. And from the moment you're warmly greeted at the front porch by your hosts, you'll sense a very special experience that awaits. This is Florida from a time gone by. Once escorted to your spacious Island Suite, you'll discover our unique interpretation of the flavor and charm of the tropics, complemented by all the luxurious amenities you expect. Large, plentiful over stuffed pillows invite you to the centerpiece of your room, a one-of-a kind antique bed specially chosen to match the unique Island theme of your suite. Cool, Caribbean colors and comfortable, antique rattan abound. Step out on your private balcony to soak up some sun, enjoy a spectacular waterfront vista, or perhaps a view of the gazebo in our tropical garden. Or simply choose to retreat to the intimate to privacy of your own Spa inspired bath, amply stocked with plenty of only the thirstiest of towels.

Later, stop by the main patio to enjoy our afternoon tea-placed in the Island style, if you prefer. Or, if a long-awaited the nap is in store instead, you can always catch up on for things at our evening social hour as you enjoy complementary wine and cheese in our tropical garden beneath the swaying palms. Sit back and relax. At Sea Breeze Manor, the choice is always yours.

Then, as evening falls, your choices still abound: will you stroll on our endless white sand beach drenched by the radiance of a golden-orange sunset or by the moonlight of a starry Florida sky?

Is Morning approaches, there's only one word to describe your day: "fresh ". Because by now, the aroma of freshly baked muffins fills your room. All downstairs there is freshly-ground coffee brewing, freshly-squeeze Florida orange juice chilling, and a wide variety of only the freshest tropical fruits awaiting your selection.

Welcome to another memorable day it casually-elegant Sea Breeze Manner. Welcome to our idea of a kinder and gentler life - Island style. Where even your simplest wish is always "no problem."
