Found in the heart of St. Petersburg, Snell Isle is a prestigious neighborhood renowned for its luxury waterfront living. This exclusive peninsula offers a serene and picturesque setting for your custom home. With its tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and proximity to downtown, Snell Isle provides an unparalleled lifestyle for discerning homeowners.

A Legacy of Elegance and Charm

Developed in the 1920s by local developer C. Perry Snell, Snell Isle was transformed from a muddy mangrove island into a thriving residential community. The neighborhood's Mediterranean Revival architecture, lush gardens, and red-tiled roofs reflect the grandeur of the era. The Renaissance Vinoy Golf Club, established in 1926, stands as a testament to Snell's vision and remains a central landmark in the community.
