About this property

Old Florida front porch living with Gulf Coast access outside Tampa Bay, Clearwater area. Come experience the Real Florida, not in hotel facility but in a Beautiful Island Preserve surrounded by water and nature! Great Private Island Location for those looking to get out of the public eye. Actor, Writer, Artist or just a family compound get away! Hemingway would have loved it here!

Chosen for TLC's most recent reality tv series. Watch for us on TLC Network 2023.

Come get in touch with your thoughts, your heart. A fantastic peaceful place for the mind to rest or be completely rejuvenated on this island resort once built for this healthful reason. This 6 acre island paradise has the look and feel of the Tropics, yet you are connected to our secure gated estate by our two gated drives to land. Large Birds of Paradise, abundant Lush vegetation, Palms, clusters of Bamboo, roses, Gardenias, Lavendar and the Olde feeling of Florida under our large hanging Live Oaks gives this island a swanky feel! 8 bedrooms, all with King sized beds and one queen, most bedrooms have their own water closet (except one). The second floor bathrooms have their own verandahs overlooking the water. The treasure that we were blessed to have found should be shared with others! The Island is surrounded by water on all sides, except for the drives where you are able to get on without the use of a boat. For those that want to have exclusion and privacy, this is the place! The lanai: A beautiful place to spend your time.

The sound of birds is not the only thing that you will hear, fish jumping is another sound. When we tell you that you will see Dolphins, Manatees and Bald Eagles while you sit on the Florida Plantation style front porch, we mean it! Mothers Day was a treat for me as a Mother and her baby Dolphin came to our water steps and spent an hour swimming back and forth enjoying our company as much as we enjoyed theirs.

* St. Regis Lanai - Outdoor Room: Great for Entertaining!
Large screened outdoor Lanai Lounge with new 2022 in-ground pool with professional electric pool heating system, once built for a guitarist and shaped like a guitar, palms, lounge chairs, Large Covered Round Lounge Bed for two! 6 large inground umbrellas, great sun and shade, gas grille, water toys. Run around all day and never go inside! Surrounded by lush vegetation, hibiscus galore!

*Bunga Bunga - Private white sand beach at edge of island with new 2022 bamboo and stone outdoor jungle shower.

Beautiful House

This is a gorgeous house! We had a wonderful stay here with our kids and grandkids. Certain areas need some TLC, like the open torn screens in the pool area which let birds and bugs in, but it wasn’t a major deterrent from us enjoying the property. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, and saw many manatees and a dolphin. The neighbor was very rude to us on several occasions. We didn’t find a lot to do in the area, but our goal was to relax, and this house was perfect for that. The porch was so inviting for morning coffee and the little ones loved the warm temperature of the pool.

Wonderful for a large family gathering

This is a wonderful, very large home with 6 bedrooms (2 of which are separated with French doors providing 8 bedrooms). There are also 5 beautifully remodeled Carrera marble baths. We requested a floor plan and Deni sent a hand drawn version. This home has outstanding linens, towels, pillows & bedding. Far above and beyond the average rental home. We had plenty of towels for our whole party of 14 and then some. The kitchen is outfitted very well, a chefs kitchen for sure. There is a full sized commercial fridge, many platters, trays, cookware, baskets, spices, utensils, beautiful china sets, etc. We had so much fun bringing platters out and enjoying it by the pool or the wrap around porch. There is also a huge grill! The owner provided a lot of recommendations for the area including dining and things to do. Lastly, she welcomed us with a large charcuterie platter upon our arrival. An extra special touch. We read the reviews about all the sheer curtains and brought sleep masks. The current A/C situation struggles with the sun on the windows all day. Lastly, the owner does have pets. The house was wonderfully cleaned upon our arrival but if you are allergy sensitive be aware. We would definitely return with a large group to visit this home again.

Great Family Retreat

Denise (owner) and her property are both outstanding. We had a group of 14 people celebrating 3 birthdays in 3 generations. The house was great for being together with an excellent kitchen and gathering spots (back porch, pool and family areas) with ample bedroom space for all. We were welcomed with birthday wishes and a lovely food tray and enjoyed the property and area thoroughly.

We like to suggest Off The Beaten Path places that you may have never got to experience unless you lived here. Being in the Chef's World we are picky and will send you to tried and true restaurants, both laid back good eating places as well as white linen and up scale. We invite our guests to write what they like and need and pay attention to details.
