Pack a picnic and take a quick walk to beautiful Stump Pass State Park. Stroll on groomed trails through 250 acres of Florida's native hammock. Several beach-side private picnic areas and secluded sandy beaches mark the trail. Bald eagle nests, beautiful herons and dolphins sightings are almost guaranteed. Launch a kayak and explore the best fishing on the Gulf coast. Looking for action? Walk to the public beach for public basketball courts, a covered boardwalk and a Pirate-themed playground. And there are Guided Segway Tours (ages 14 and older) around historic Olde Englewood and the bayfront areas. Discover what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution called "one of FL's best kept secrets."

  • We rented this house from Lynda & you couldn't ask for a nicer person to deal with. This is a dream home. The moment you walk in it says, welcome, relax, put your feet up & stay a while. You bring the food, friends and family, the rest is here. The views are fabulous & even in August the breeze on the upper decks were great. It's beautifully furnished, very clean & room for all. The beach is so close we could spend the day and go back & forth as needed. There were 7 of us, 5 adults 2 kids (12&5) we had a great time & will cherish the memories. When asking my husband if he had a comment to add he simpy said,"I'd like to go back..how about tomorrow.

  • We stayed in this wonderful house from 7/18-7/25/09, we had 5 adults and 5 children. The online photos don't compare to what you will find!! It must be the biggest and newest house in the area! Everything you could think of was provided - from the kitchen to the beach towels. The view from the top deck is amazing! We also happened to witness a sea turtle come out of the water one night and nest! We will have memories of this trip for the rest of our lives and hope to return next year.

  • Our family had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful beach home May 9-May 16. We had 7 adults and one 2 year old. There was so much room that we never felt crowded at all. The decor of the home looks like it was a magazine featured home. There are decks off of almost every room in the house which offer beautiful views of the ocean. We spent many hours sitting out on the deck. Absolutely everything that we could have wanted was available for us to use. The home is located within just a couple hours drive to Tampa or Olrando so some of us took the opportunity to do some things there but we also spent many hours just relaxing on what felt like our own private beach just a few steps from the home. This was definitely one of the most enjoyable vacations we've had. Thank you for allowing us to use your home. We hope to be back sometime!

    We had an amazing time. Having gone there for 8 years this was by far our nicest accommodations. You are very generous with what you leave for guest and we appreciated it. Every other place we stayed everything was cleaned out prior to the next tenant. It really felt like home. Only thing I would have changed would have been taking 2 weeks instead of one....maybe next year :)

    We loved your home! We are now spoiled...nothing else compares to your Beach House! It was SO nice to have two master identical suites...we didn't have to "flip" to see who got the master suite. It was great to be able to open the windows at night and hear the ocean. We loved to have the option of two decks to take advantage of the sun. (We had our morning coffee on the BBQ deck every day.) We loved that you had a library....my husband actually read 3 books by a local author. Having WiFi was important to us to keep in touch with our families plus check out activities while here. We really loved your home. Like I mentioned, we are pretty spoiled after staying at your Beach House. Thanks again, Nancy

  • We spent a wonderful 6 weeks at this beautiful home. It has a great floor plan, great view of the ocean from the upper deck and is in excellent condition. We found plenty of things to do in the area: beaches, Stump Pass Park, fishing trips, nature cruise on Lemon Bay. We would highly recommend this home to anyone. The owners are very helpful and accommodating. A great change of pace from Wisconsin!
