Wow! My mother and I recently visited The Princess Martha after she mentioned that a friend of hers had moved there. I had noticed during my last visit that she wasn’t quite as active or social as she had been a few months earlier, so we had started discussing independent living communities. I called to schedule a tour, and Wendy was kind enough to invite us for lunch as well. Mom and I toured the community with Wendy and Maggie, and we had the opportunity to share lunch with several residents. Everyone was smiling, active, engaged, and clearly enjoying themselves. Maggie shared so many wonderful photos of the outings and activities happening at The Princess Martha, and it was obvious how much care and effort goes into creating such a vibrant community. By the end of our visit, my mother was genuinely excited. She’s now ready to put her house on the market and move in as soon as it sells! Thank you, Wendy and Maggie, for spending so much time with us, answering all of our questions, and helping my mother feel completely comfortable and welcomed. The Princess Martha is extremely lucky to have both of you!

This is my dream destination for independent living. The beautifully renovated historic building is thoughtfully designed for seniors. This is in addition to the planned activities and service to create a sustainable utopian community.

The Princess Martha is a truly iconic place in downtown St. Petersburg — a beautifully preserved historic building that’s been part of our city for over a century, originally opening as a grand hotel in 1924 and now offering elegant 55+ independent living with all-inclusive lifestyle options.  The timeless charm of its architecture, gracious common spaces, and rich history make it special to see around town. I absolutely love spotting the van out and about — it always reminds me of the vibrant community and active lifestyle here. A wonderful and beloved local treasure!

I have been at the princess martha for over 5yrs and still love it as much today as when I first moved in. The staff are very nice and helpful and the food is delicious! I eat much better than I would be eating on my own. The residents all get along and enjoy the many scheduled activities. My apartment gets cleaned and we have happy hour every Friday with live entertainment - what's not to LOVE!!
