Overall, the Coquina Key neighborhood is excellent. It is close to many resturants, convient stores and a nearby dog park. I love how this neighborhood is quiet, but very multi-facided in the realms of things to see. I also like that we are surrounded by water, so boating and fishing is very accesible. Additonally, the people are friendly, and it is a diverse community.

Great place to live that has really thrived in the last few years. Lovely park and friendly neighbors. A hidden gem 10 mins from downtown St Pete and directly across from the beaches.
