A stone's throw from the Gulf of Mexico, our home is in a quiet neighborhood centrally located to some of the best places Florida's Gulf Coast has to offer. There are countless ways to spend your days.......but.......if you want to relax and barely leave the house, you've found the place. Get some groceries or fresh market food, cook a dinner with some cocktails and music and take a bike ride to the beach to watch the sunset......then repeat.
Since this is our vacation home as well, we wanted to be sure we made it comfortable and inviting. We value a minimalist feel especially when we travel, so we kept things simple. A recent renovation includes a Saltillo tile floor throughout the house, a bathroom makeover and brand new washer and dryer. The 2023 new AC keeps the space cool even in the hottest summer months. It's a small bungalow-style house furnished with various pieces of furniture from our families, some of which span generations. The back yard is a jungle populated with native plants. Pack light and bring a book...or write one.
The house is located in Tarpon Springs, a historic Greek community with a unique Florida vibe. Sunset Beach is less than ten minutes away by bike. Nearby downtown Tarpon Springs and the sponge docks are filled with authentic restaurants, eclectic shops and nice people.
