About Tanja Pluess Utting
Hi! We are an English-Swiss couple living a succulent, loving, busy, crazy, bubbly, sometimes challenging life in Switzerland in a home full of kids (at the moment 4), dogs (2) and a huge passion for Florida! While Mike is working for an American company, Tanja is a passionate mum and building up her photography business - after having quit her job as a psychologist.
Tanja Pluess Utting purchased this house in 2014
Why Tanja Pluess Utting chose Florida Central West
We fell in love with Florida many years ago and it still makes us come back year after year. We even got married on the beach in Clearwater and bought our first home in Carlouel on our wedding day. When we walked by 'Sea Breeze' for the first time we immediately wanted that house. But by then it was not for sale and later when it was, we could not afford it. But probably somehow it was meant to be - the house chose us and we chose the house and this is where we are now. We just started with the renovations and it will take a few months before 'Sea Breeze' will sparkle again - but it will!
Guestbook comments from the owner
My family had a wonderful stay at Tanja's Sea Breeze property! We had just stayed at another property in Orlando on the same trip, before coming to Clearwater and everything was miles above Orlando. The house was stocked with every imaginable amenity. Things you don't even think of when you're at the grocery store were already in the house. The collection of DVDs was perfect in the evening for the kids or to get out of the afternoon heat for a bit. The pool was lovely and there were so many pool toys available. All in all, it made you feel like you were staying at your best friend's family house while they were away and anything you could want was already thought of and existed for her family. Great location and easy walk around the corner to private access beach. The sand is gorgeous and soft. The sunsets are stunning. The restaurants nearby are also a bit more varied than your expected American chains. And it was near enough drive to Tampa for a baseball game one afternoon. Keyless entry was very convenient and smart as well. We loved our visit and would definitely come again!

Wonderful!

Wonderful
We had a wonderful week at your beautiful home. It was nice being so close to the private beach and we enjoyed the pool too. The home was the most well equipped we have ever rented. Having a crib and high chair for our grandson was so convenient. The beach chairs, umbrellas and toys were great. The location was perfect and we will be back!
My overall impression of the place and the service.
The pictures led you to believe the living room was bigger. The walk to the beach was longer than anticipated.
I emailed that the pool and spa wasn't working properly but no one got back in touch with me. The pool guy came and said he'd report it. Never happened. Just disappointed seemed once we were there no one cared how our visit was going. I know there were hurricanes coming but we tried to stay as long as we could. We left Thursday night. We cleaned up after ourselves as best we could.
Absolutely perfect for our family!
Sea Breeze was simply incredible and had more than enough room for our family. The walk to the beach gate was short and we were pleased to find plenty of beach necessities for us to borrow during our stay. The house is immaculate and the house manual was extremely helpful. Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful place for our vacation. We will definitely be keeping this gem in mind for our next trip to Florida!
It is AMAZING!!!!
OMG....what an amazing place! It is everything a family could want for a vacation. The grandkids AND the adults loved the pool and tons of beach toys.....even played volleyball with our own version. BUT, the Beach, which is private and only a few blocks jaunt, was amazing too. The house has the most equipped kitchen with all the condiments, pool toys, beach umbrella, beach chairs, wagon to transport, tons of beach toys, etc. If you have little ones, there are pack and plays, cribs, and high chairs. It was simply the best!!! Patios galore and a bathroom off the pool too. Wow....can't say enough about this place! Everything a family could want for a fantastic, enjoyable vacation!!!
Great Week at Sea Breeze!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the beach was perfect. Tanya's guest book contained a wealth of information and we were quite pleased with her restaurant recommendations. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely rent it again!
Ten of us filled the house comfortably & enjoyed a week of fun in the sun!
The house was not "elegant" it was beach house "comfy" & we enjoyed it!
