Why the Owner Chose New Port Richey
The house in Gulf Harbors is a wonderful base to explore the Gulf Coast. Gulf Harbors is a relaxing and quiet community. To be able to fish, see Dolphins, Manatees and a variety of wildlife just by stepping out the back door was a huge attraction. The combination of feeling away from it all, and yet a five minute drive to all amenities you need was the prefect blend for any holiday. A private dock with access to the open Gulf in minutes, makes this place just perfect!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We have now had a variety of guests or all ages here are some of their comments: "This was an excellent house for a family holiday. There was 5 adults and 2 children (ages 5 and 9) and it worked really well. Very spacious, clean. Mostly we ate under the lanai which had sufficient seating for 8. The pool was a good size compared with some properties and was good to relax in after trips out or even to stay around for the day. The big dockside area was also a good place for sitting and enjoying the views, fish jumping and bird watching". "This villa was a great place to stay! The pool was right outside our door. It was very quiet area. The whole house setting was wonderful, spacious, comfortable and very clean! I was very happy with all the amenities. Everything was just like it was advertised and a lot better. It was a GREAT experience! I highly recommended it for your next vacation!" "A very good customer service was provided with fast and efficient communication. We particularly enjoyed the outside facilities, with several places to sit and eat, or relax, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful." "This place is not only beautiful, it's very large. The pictures do not do it justice. Two full living rooms with big screen TVs. The pool deck and dock areas are perfect. We had four couples in our party and we were not crowded in the least."
Owner's Map of New Port Richey
We are a UK based family and have had three holidays on the Gulf Coast staying in Gulf Harbors. Although we enjoyed our visits to Orlando, we fell in love with the West Coast and, jointly with some friends based in Florida, we bought this house in Windward Way.
