Location: St. Petersburg, Florida Central West, Florida, USA
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-6)
This gorgeous three bedroom two bathroom house is everything-and more-that you are looking for! A spectacular 3,600 gallon pond that cascades over natural stone greets you as you step through the front gate, an impressive and distinctive first impression! If you can tear yourself away from the hypnotic and beautiful waterfall, down the path a lush and tropical oasis awaits you! Relax under the gorgeous Gazebo with netting and comfortable chairs or take a dip in the heated kidney shaped pool! Soak in some of the rays from the resort style lounge chairs or kick back and have a cold one under the incredible cabana, surrounded by lush palms and flowering plants. If you come in March or April the backyard is filled with the scent of blooming Jasmine and Gardenia. This intimate seating area features dark wicker furniture and comfortable cushions.
As hard as it may be to leave the outside, trust me! The inside is as great as the outside! I dare you to sink into the plush leather chair with over-sized ottoman and EVER want to leave! The kitchen is open-air, making cooking or entertaining a pleasure. Open the window and front door and let the ambient sound from the waterfall complement your meal. The new dark wood dining room table easily seats 6. The addition of the 47" LCD puts the living room over the TOP! Watch your favorite TV shows in HD or watch a Blu-ray DVD for an unbelievable cinematic experience. 5 speaker surround sound make this a great movie watching experience!
This house has a GREAT location! You are two and a half miles from St. Pete Beach so you are there before you know it but you don't have to live your life in beach traffic just to get to the stores. Your choice of Publix or Sweetbay supermarkets are only one mile away, conveniently grouped together. Downtown Gulfport is less than two miles away and faces beautiful Boca Ciega Bay. Great restaurants, art galleries and pubs make this old fishing village a great place to have some fun. Downtown St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful waterfront cities in the country, is in the midst of a cultural renaissance. Impressive collections at the Museum Of Fine Arts, The Salvador Dali Museum and the St. Pete Museum Of History are just the beginning. Excellent restaurants, galleries, sports bars, attractions and architecture make this walkable downtown a wonderful place to visit!
There is a lot to do and see here in St. Pete but you may NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THIS GREAT HOUSE!

Date of Arrival : May 3, 2008 Name on Contract : Michelle Tolson Review Rating : 5/5 "Tropical Tranquil Retreat" "This was my first experience vacationing at a home versus staying at 3-5 star hotels, and this place was awesome! The property is so beautiful with its tranquil waterfall, lush greenery, and ample outdoor seating. The pool was clean, as was the entire property. While I was partial to the outdoors, the indoors were immaculate and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean. Definite care was given to details of comfort, such as internet access, provided reading material, board games, and a high-definition TV with a small selection of DVD titles. You can bring your own CDs to listen to while relaxing outside by the pool. And it really is only 2 miles from the beach! I was traveling with teenagers, and they loved this place. We did not stay long enough to explore all the area had to offer, but we did eat at a very good seafood/other restaurant called Leverocks. All in all, don't hesitate to book this place for your stay in the St. Petersburg area. The owner is very friendly and obviously proud of his home, given the attention that has been taken to keep it so beautiful. The pictures are exactly how this place looks. We were fortunate to have stumbled upon this listing and hope to come back some day! "

LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN! Westfield, Ma. USA. Date Submitted: March 20, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008 The home was just as advertised. Comfortable, well decorated, convenient, tranquil, just as green and colorful outside as it is pictured. You could be comfortable and entertained without ever leaving the house. TV's - books-games-feeding Boris the pond turtle- full kitchen- laundry-a great place for a family of any age. We were content just sitting by the pool reading, listening to music, and soaking up the sunshine so lacking in our own New England area home. Great restaurants of many flavors are nearby. Two we would recommend and certainly revisit are Habana Cafe, sangria, great food, bright decor. Mid Peninsula seafood, fabulous fried fish and oh so casual and comfortable. Coming from the north we tried to do as many outside activities as we could in order to soak up the sunshine. Marie Selby Orchid Gardens,was beautiful, and Jungleland, small but pleasant nonetheless(both in Sarasota)Florida Botanical Gardens and Heritage Village in Largo gave us a wonderful and informative walk outside and a small art museum inside.We also did the Dali Museum, be sure to look for dollar off coupons in tourist pamphlets. I'm sure you will find activities to suit every age and taste all within driving distance of this comfortable house.We were unfortunately only there for a week and could not do all we had hoped. The owner of the home was personable and helpful and even stayed very late to welcome us even though our plane was delayed. This was our first time renting a house for vacation and our experience will certainly cause us to explore this arrangement for vacation again. Cozier than a hotel even if we did have to cook our own breakfast and make the bed. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone.
