Chesapeake Point is an "Over 55" Mobile Home Park located in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It is situated on a beautiful 6.5 acre peninsula surrounded on three sides by the "Bayou" which leads to the Gulf of Mexico. We are right in the heart of Tarpon Springs and feel that our lovely Park offers the best seasonal rental location in the area. The Park is peaceful and secluded, yet there is quick access to Howard and Sunset Parks and world renowned Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands are just an 8 mile drive away. We are also close to lots of great restaurants right in Tarpon Springs and the nearby quaint town of Dunedin. Highway 19 is a busy road just a few miles away where you can do all of your grocery shopping at Publix, hit the local Starbucks or have lunch at Panera and use their free wireless access.
Chesapeake Point Park is in many ways truly a park. There is abundant birdlife here and the fishing is excellent. Standing on the seawall on the sunrise side in the morning, we see a number of different species of fish cruise by including sheephead, jacks, snook, trout and plenty of mullet jumping. Each year we have Herons nesting at the top of a tall pine tree with full grown adult birds flying in to feed noisy babies and this year we also have two Osprey nests in the Park as well. Folks often report manatee moving lazily by and dolphin herding schools of fish against the seawall to feed. Less than a mile and a half away is Howard Park and Sunset Beach. Both are superb beaches for fishing, walking, sunbathing, swimming and just about any outdoor activity on the water including windsurfing and kayaking.
Chesapeake Point Park is in our opinion the West Coast's best kept secret. At dusk, you can see hundreds of birds fly in to roost for the night on the surrounding mangrove islands. We never get tired of watching this nightly event. Almost everyday we can see dolphin feeding along the seawall and manatee swimming during the Winter season especially on the "sunrise" side of the Park. As a result, most of our guests seem to prefer setting up their lounge chairs at the edge of the seawall and spending the day sunbathing, reading, fishing and relaxing! The fishing is great in our Park and previous guests have enjoyed fishing daily off of the seawall. If you are handy with a cast net, tasty mullet are an easy catch. I have seen one of our residents routinely catching mullet off of the seawall at high tide which he says he smokes in a simple smoker he purchased around the corner at the hardware store. Dolphins also regularly fish around Chesapeake Point and we have seen them playfully swimming upside down at high speed just under the water's surface along the seawall and then watched them chase mullet towards the seawall and catch and eat them!
