Pass-a-Grille Condos: A Building-by-Building Guide

Updated October 2026.

The short answer: Pass-a-Grille condos are small. Most buildings here hold a few dozen units or fewer, many are low-rise, and the tallest ones we could document are seven stories. You will not find the large Gulf-front towers of central St. Pete Beach here. Buyers choose between buildings on Gulf Way facing the beach, a handful of buildings near the southern tip, and bay side properties along Pass-a-Grille Way. Because the buildings are small, each association’s rules, reserves and insurance matter a great deal.

We are John and Nicole Kavaliauskas, licensed Florida Realtors with LoKation Real Estate. For the neighborhood itself, see our Pass-a-Grille guide.

Pass-a-Grille is part of the City of St. Pete Beach

Pass-a-Grille is the southernmost neighborhood of the City of St. Pete Beach, not a separate town. The Gabber reports that Pass-a-Grille was incorporated into St. Pete Beach in 1957, and the Pinellas Realtor Organization summary of local rental rules lists the Pass-a-Grille Overlay District under St. Pete Beach zoning. That means city rules on building permits, flood repairs and rentals apply here. We could not load the city website when we checked, so confirm current rules directly with the City of St. Pete Beach.

How Pass-a-Grille condos differ

Small buildings, low and mid-rise

Florida’s condo registry, as published at florida-condo-directory.com, shows associations here ranging from 4 units at the Pines of Pass-a-Grille to 22 units at the Beach House of Pass-a-Grille. Listing records show Pointe Towers holds 14 residences on 7 stories and Point Pass-a-Grille has 51 units on 4 stories. A small association spreads insurance, reserves and any special assessment over fewer owners, so one large repair can mean a larger share per unit. Ask for the budget and reserve study early.

Gulf Way, the southern tip, and the bay side

Gulf Way runs along the Pass-a-Grille beach, and the Gulf Way buildings in the table below advertise Gulf and sunset views. Point Pass-a-Grille sits at the southern tip, where listings describe views of the Gulf, the beach and the Intracoastal. Pass-a-Grille Way runs along the bay side, where some properties offer boat slips instead of beach frontage. Listing records for one bay side complex, Marina Bay of St. Petersburg Beach at 3111 Pass-a-Grille Way, show an assigned boat slip with a lift.

The historic district

The Pass-a-Grille Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, with a boundary increase in 2003, according to Wikipedia. Separately, the city’s Historic Preservation Board evaluates and designates local historic resources. In September 2026 the St. Pete Catalyst reported the board granted local historic status to three cottages at Island’s End, one property at a time. We did not find a source showing any condo building in the table is locally designated. Ask the city whether a building is designated and whether exterior work needs board review.

The 50% rule

The City of St. Pete Beach treats a building as substantially improved or substantially damaged when work costs at least 50 percent of the building’s market value, and its substantial improvement page says phasing work across multiple projects is not permitted. A building over that line must meet current floodplain rules. The page also exempts alterations to a designated historic structure that keep its historic designation.

Rental rules

According to the Pinellas Realtor Organization, St. Pete Beach allows stays under 30 days no more than three times in a 12-month period in the RM district and the Pass-a-Grille Overlay District, and rentals of a month or longer citywide. Associations can be stricter. Listing records show 3 month or 90 day minimums at Pointe Towers, Beach House of Pass-a-Grille and Point Pass-a-Grille. Some listings show no association minimum, but the city rule still applies. Our short-term rental rules guide covers this in more detail.

What to check before you buy

• Inspections, reserves and SIRS. Most buildings here are from the 1970s or earlier. Ask for the milestone inspection, the structural integrity reserve study, the budget and any pending special assessments. See our condo inspections, reserves and SIRS guide.
• Storm history. Ask how the building fared in Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, what was repaired under permit, how repairs were funded, and whether any claims remain open.
• Flood and insurance. Listing records for several buildings here show flood zone AE. Get the master policy, the elevation certificate and your own HO-6 and flood quotes. See our St. Pete Beach flood zones and insurance guide.
• Rentals and pets. Read the declaration and rules, then confirm the city rule for the parcel.
• Historic status. Ask the city whether the building or site is locally designated.
• Parking. Confirm which space, carport or garage conveys with the unit.
