About this space
This home is ideally located near Florida's beautiful Sunset Beach and Howard Park Beach - only 17 miles from Clearwater Beach.

It's a perfect place for creating family memories or getting together with old friends.
The space
You will find our 2000 sq. ft. home very spacious inside and out with three private bedrooms, along with 2 queen sleeper sofas in the family room.

Each TV includes DIRECTV (with the Go Big channel package which includes the sports channels), Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, HBO Max and Amazon Prime TV.
*** New update: TVs now in each bedroom! See pictures for details.

The back yard is fully private and fenced in with multiple patios and plush tropical landscaping. Ferns are everywhere with live oak hammocks, various palm trees, bird of paradise, and much more.

There are chickens far into the back right of the yard, which require no work on your part, as they are all taken care of with an automatic feeding/watering system. If you choose, you can simply harvest the eggs, rinse and enjoy fresh eggs for breakfast just like on the farm.

We are located in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks that will connect you directly to the nearest beaches and our famous biking trail - Pinellas Trail, which extends from one end of the county to the other - all less than 2 miles away. It's a beautiful walk or bike ride with bike rental companies nearby.

Sunset Beach is less than 2 miles away with, you guessed it, amazing sunsets. There's also a volley ball net for your enjoyment along with cookout/party pavilions and playgrounds.

Howard Park Beach is less than 2.5 miles away with its beautiful sand and gorgeous sunsets, nice bike/hiking trails amongst the beautiful oak tree hammocks, cookout/party pavilions and playgrounds.

Of course there's the famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks - only 3 miles away with America's largest Greek community. Dodecanese Boulevard, "The Sponge Docks", is full of things to do, anything from dolphin watching excursions, deep sea fishing charters, boat tours to watch sponge divers pull up live sponges, and even an Aquarium. The whole street is full of restaurants and various shops, with ice cream shops and pastry shops along the way. And the authentic Greek restaurants... I must say, wonderful. After visiting and experiencing Greece myself for a summer, I personally feel Tarpon Springs does it better.

Clearwater Beach and all of its glory (rated one of the top beached in the world) is only 15 miles or a 30 minute drive away with parasailing, indoor surfing at Surf Style, jet ski rental, the public Jolly Trolly transportation system, high speed boat tours, dolphin encounters. And don't forget The Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

And as far as theme parks go, Busch Gardens is only a 45 minute ride, and then there's the famous theme parks (Universal / Disney / SeaWorld) which are an hour and a half away.

Weeki Wachee river is less than an hour ride with it's beautifully clear freshwater spring boasting a water park with water slides, snorkeling and it's world famous mermaid shows. There are even canoe/kayak rentals available where you can coast down the crystal clear waters for 6 miles and then they conveniently pack you up and bus you back to the park.

There's so much more available in the area that you will not be at a loss for things to do. Let us know what your interests are and we will make sure to have you well informed when you arrive for a vacation packed with fun, relaxation and memories that will last a lifetime.

Easy Access Door Keypad with Ring doorbell

Swimming pool heater option:
The in-ground swimming pool has a propane gas heater option that can individually heat the hot tub or the whole pool. The heater can be used for an additional fee to recover the cost of use and propane / electricity. This is collected as a deposit up front for which you will get the remainder back after checkout based on the propane usage used during your stay.

Please be mindful of our neighbors as we do care for them and respect their space as well. We do hope never to have to deal with violations of sound ordinances as this could cause an eviction.
