Why the Owner Chose Palm Harbor
We wanted to be in the busy Clearwater Beach area of Florida - there is so much to do and see that one vacation is simply not enough.
It is also easy enough - 90 minutes drive - to get to all the theme parks in Orlando but we wanted a home in a relaxing and homely part of Florida where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of watching the sun go down on some of the best white sandy beaches in the whole of America.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominiums
We are superby located on the water of Lake Tarpon, you can fish off the decking and see eagles and many other beautiful birds. It is peaceful and tranquil yet the area we are in is full of malls, shops and excellent restaurants - and just minutes from beaches that have been voted the very best in the whole of America (and don't forget that includes Hawaii).
