This property is very spacious, with a huge walk-in closet in the Master Bedroom. There are large closets in all the rooms. All you need to bring are your clothes and a toothbrush. The master bath features a large Jacuzzi tub for unwinding after a day at the beach or golfing. All bedrooms feature TV and VCR combo for your viewing pleasure. The Master also has a walk out to the pool area.
This house is great for entertaining. There is a formal living and dining area and a separate family room and kitchen with a large eating area. Or dine by the pool in the completely screened Lani. A large private, fenced back yard completes the area. Our 3-bedroom 3 bath home will comfortably accommodate a family of six. It is also perfect for three couples traveling together, or as a romantic and extra-spacious getaway for two.
You are located in a secluded neighborhood on a non through street that is just blocks from Fred Howard Park. This park was first opened in 1966 and is located at the end of a mile long causeway west of Florida Ave. in Tarpon Springs. This is a beautiful beach area where the swimming and sunbathing are excellent. The facilities include, very nice sheltered picnic areas, playgrounds for the kids, restrooms, Bar-B-Q grills, and beach showers. Bring your fishing poles and your wind surfers. This is a very popular park with the local Floridians and over 2 million people visit the park annually. On weekends it can be crowded, but on week days there are fewer people enjoying the sun and the water. This beach has added some benches for catching rays and viewing the magnificent sunsets. There is also a special area for fishing. Anderson Park, on Tarpon Lake is located less than three miles away. Sunset Beach is two miles away.
The Sponge Docks are listed in the National Historic Districts register. There are more than 140 art gallery/studios, antique shops, boutiques and restaurants located just blocks away.
The house is just minutes away from the sponge docks and various boat trips.
The house is centrally located in Tarpon Springs just north of Clearwater beach. It is one of the oldest cities on the Florida West Coast. The Greeks first settled this area around the turn of the century and started the Sponge Diving Industry. Visitors can enjoy the authentic Greek food in the more than 20 restaurants, shop in the sponge and souvenir stores, and board cruise boats for half day or day trips for casino gambling or fishing. Jet ski rentals are nearby as are boat rentals.
There are two bicycles provided (ten-speed mountain bikes) and a two-person, sit-on-top kayak for those times you want to spend just paddling around at the park or on Tarpon Lake.

An excellent stay in a very comfortable, well equiped home. An easy walk to a great park for cook-outs, swimming, bird watching, kite flying, and great kids playgrounds. The host was very accommodating. All in all, a great home away from home.

In considering several properties for my vacation, 709 Anclote was literally perfect in every way..The location is 2 minutes to the most beautiful beach and park, which for children and pets is ideal...Shopping and restaurants also just a few minutes away..Clearwater beach about 20 minute drive..The house itself was immaculate, and no bugs whatsoever, which was my worry..the pool is spotless, and amazing after a long day at the beach...The furnishings are very comfortable, modern, and the house is very well equipped with everything under the sun, whether it be televisions, cordless phones, and plenty of linens and towels..The host is very accomadating to any and all needs, and i will certainly be back again...Ps...its on a dead end street, with no noise, and plenty of peace and quiet, for a relaxing stay....This house is a sure thing.....

Our second-year stay was as great as the first year; and, we're already booked for next year. This home is an ideal 'home away from home' and the floor plan works as comfortably when our houseguests arrive. The walking distance to wonderful beaches and park location is top priority for us (and our chocolate lab)..with bikes and kayak in the garage, we take our pick daily based on level of activity we want. Tarpon Springs is a casual old town with charm and personality ...yet, near enough to plenty of Tampa/St. Pete and Clearwater Beach action. The landlord really 'aims to please' and quickly responds to most any request..... in a fun and friendly way..

Thank you for the wonderful two months we spent at your Tarpon home. You have created a very appealing and comfortable place to spend the winter. We especially enjoyed the beautiful landscaping and the delicious grapefruit from your backyard tree. Another plus is that the home is located in a quiet residential area where regular folks live and there is no traffic. Just about every day we rode your bikes or walked to Howard Park with it's wonderful beach and birdwatching. We will certainly stay with you again when we return to Florida.
