David Loving of Matthews Real Estate Investment Services is pleased to present the exclusive listing opportunity for the El Patio Motel, located along the highly trafficked 4th Street corridor in St. Petersburg, Florida. Situated at 6733 4th St N, this 9-room property with a 2-bedroom owner’s/manager’s quarters offers investors strong visibility and access in one of the most dynamic and growing submarkets in the Tampa Bay region.
The motel features 12 parking spaces and a dedicated on-site manager’s unit, allowing for efficient owner-operator or third-party management. The property has benefited from recent upgrades, including a new roof, a full exterior and interior repaint, and updated electrical paneling in the guestrooms. An adjacent vacant lot at the rear of the property brings the total lot size to 0.55 acres, offering additional development opportunities.
The St. Petersburg hotel submarket has experienced strong recent performance, with 12-month RevPAR growing 6.1% through July 2025, driven primarily by a 7.2% occupancy increase. While growth is expected to moderate in the near term, St. Petersburg consistently ranks among the top-performing submarkets in Tampa Bay, supported by tourism, arts and culture, corporate demand, and year-round recreational activity.
El Patio Motel offers investors in-place cash flow, operational upside through improved management, and long-term value appreciation in one of Florida’s premier coastal markets.
