How is life at Starlight Tower? In a word "amazing"!
From sunrise to
sunset looking out your windows and balconies at the Gulf
and the non stop activities at the beach with people swimming, surfing,
sailing, parasailing, sunbathing, fishing and certainly the birds who are
the best fishermen in the area! But especially the sunsets where you see the
sun dipping ever so slowly and leisurely disappearing burning red in the
gulf's waters and the sky colored by the divine palette on all hues of red
and blue you feel at peace and content as if somehow entered paradise for a
few precious moments. Oh yes, life is good here.
Our location
Every cart postal of St Pete Beach you buy, two buildings stand out: a pink
on the South side and a white on the North side. On the
south side the pink, is the most luxurious and historic hotel of the area
Don CeSar
Beach Resort a Loews Hotel and on the north side the white is us,
Starlight Tower! Don CeSar was build in 1926 and its construction completed two years later with
grand opening in 1928. The Don is one of eight hotels in Florida that is
listed on the National Trust for Historical Preservation, Historic Hotels
of America.
History in brief: Our building was built in 1958 (soon to celebrate our 50th
anniversary) and our relationship with the Don is that both
of us respectively adorn the north and south side of St Pete Beach the two
most beautiful landmark buildings, one pink the other white boasting solid construction with steel and concrete
and not pre-fabricated materials. Remarkable solid
structures that not only have endured the passing of decades and occasional
punishment from our tropical weather which is a small price to pay living
right on the gulf but even today they look and feel brand new. In our lobby
embedded on the wall is a plaque by the talented and highly artistic master
masons that were proud to participate in the construction of the building.
Shortly we will add an archives section with memorable pictures taken during
our construction who puts to shame today's ready-made structures.
This website was created by one of the owners and the
purpose is twofold: to inform the public about our beautiful
property, surroundings, hotels, restaurants, beaches, entertainment
areas and activities here and nearby plus Tampa and Clearwater and in addition
give the owners a private meeting place at a portion of this site with
secure environment password protected where we will be able to exchange
ideas since our common goal is to preserve and maintain the high standards
and integrity of the most beautiful and desirable apartment building in St
Pete Beach which we are all proud to call HOME regardless if we live here
full time or part time.
I believe that having an Internet presence of our property is an asset to
the co-op's shareholders and Board of Directors in disseminating information
securely and instantly to all at our protected environment and away from
public view especially now that our restoration
project is about to begin and owners will be anxious for updated
information throughout the process.
