We enjoyed use of the pontoon boat. Breakfast on the balcony in the morning sun was relaxing. Also cool breeze during the day was an added plus on Florida’s hot days. It’s close to many restaurants and shopping. Anderson park was near by so we were able to walk along trails.
This was our second stay and we were just as happy as our first. The condo is clean, well stocked and comfortable but the best part is the boat. Being out on the water is just amazing and being able to drive it ourselves makes it perfect
Quiet and comfortable.
The lake was amazing and all the nearby parks were wonderful.
The boat added daily adventures and great times by all.
The Town of Dunedin was a gem.
The stay here was relaxing and we enjoyed every minute.
This property was better than advertised. The owners stocked the cabinets and left a notebook full of information about activities and restaurants in the area.
We didn’t have time to use the boat, but it was a wonderful addition.. I would recommend this property to anyone!
My wife, family and I had a great time. The place was just as described. The pool felt like our own and fishing / boating was great fun for all of us. I recommend this property highly. Kids already want to go back. Owner of the property, Paul, was great to us.

Great property for a great vacation!
The condo was very nice and well kept. Loved being able to see some water from the balcony. The boat was awesome to use. We were able to go up to a nice little restaurant on the lake by boat for lunch one day and we're able to go out fishing one evening. So much fun!! Thank you guys for a great vacation!
Repeat renters. Enjoyed our stay and use of the pontoon boat. Some minor issues resolved quickly by Paul who is always a pleasure to deal with. Unit updates quite nice. Near everything we needed and only downside was the traffic on US19 during the rush hours.
We had an amazing time. Pretty much had pool to ourselves. Boat was a extra perk. Only down fall was the beach was not as close as I would have wanted. But overall perfect trip!
Paul it was great meeting you and we had an amazing vacation. The condo was very clean and in a great area. Being on the lake and having use of the boat was a great plus. Definitely looking forward to coming back! We will be in touch. Thanks again Phil and Carleen

Clean, Comfortable, As Depicted
Stayed 2 weeks in December. The unit was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and everything worked as it should. The pictures were accurate and the owners were excellent. Located on the lake, with dock and centrally located to shopping, area beaches and eateries. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again without hesitation. Thanks Paul and Karen.

Boat makes this an excellant value
Just got back (beat the storm out of town)
Wife and I stayed with my daughter and her boyfriend. This condo is conveniently located far enough away from Route 19 to be peaceful but not out of the way
Nice to have supplies already In cabinets.
The use of the boat makes this a great stay. Going across the lake for dinner made the stay seem special
We really enjoyed the property and would love to stay again. Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to the pandemic and our Canadian leader advised all Canadians to return home as soon as possible. We left on Saturday, March 21, 2020.
I went with my 19-year-old son to go fishing on Lake Tarpon. Place was perfect with separate bedrooms and baths for us and everything you would need. The balcony is nice looking out over the canals. However, the boat was the big selling point and was easy to use and get around the lake. We spent all day fishing out on the lake and it was really easy and fast to get around. Paul was great to work with and gave us a quick no-nonsense overview of the boat which worked perfectly for us. It’s a great way to see like tarpon!
Good communication and check in info from Paul. Good size apartment with good size communal outdoor pool, feels like your own as no-one else was using. Good area with lovely beaches. Disappointed, due to lack of rain in previous months, that unable to take boat out onto lake. However, Paul more than compensated by taking us out on his searay sundancer cruiser ‘Charming’ for the afternoon and lunch
We stayed 28 days. The weather was less than ideal, cold so we were unable to use the pool and used the pontoon boat twice.Property good points are:Clean, well stocked kitchen, safe neighborhood, responsive hostAreas we didn't like:The linens, pillows and towels have been well usedThe décor and paint are dated and darkThe condo is located in a populated area and the traffic is heavy. Traveling anywhere took much timeThe condo is locked in by a highway and lake so there is no walking paths
The condo itself was comfortable & roomy. The view from the balcony in the evening is pretty with palm trees & docks lite up near the pool. The pool wasn't heated, so pretty cool even though the weather was in the 80"s it was colder than the Gulf. We stayed for a few weeks in April. This location is on the east side of Route 19, which is a very busy 8 lane road, 4 lanes North and 4 lanes South. At times it was very difficult to manage to get around. Ubers were readily available. The towns of Palm Harbour, Dunedin and Tarpon Springs are nice to visit.
Karen and Paul have thought of everything! Their place felt as if we lived there. We didn't need anything other than groceries to enjoy our stay. The pontoon boat was fun as we were able to dock at a lake front restaurant for dinner. The condo is very quiet, private, and relaxing with a decent view.
Downtown Tarpon Springs is within 3 miles and is packed full of shops and river tours. This is a great way to spend some quality time with family.
The three of us enjoyed our stay so much that we really look forward to a return stay in the future.
Thanks Karen & Paul.

Relaxing week of bass fishing, beach bumming, and dining out
Paul and Karen are great hosts and available locally if you have any problems. We didn't. Each morning while sipping coffee on the patio we discussed the day's big decision: should we go boating and bass fishing on Lake Tarpon, or take the short drive to one of the area's beautiful beaches? Fishing was best working Texas-rigged crawlers around Tarpon's big weed beds. Our favorite beach was Honeymoon Island State Park (Dunedin). If you go, don't leave before enjoying a sumptuous meal at Mike's Sushi & Saki Bar. It doesn't sound authentic, but it is.

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Nice condo in good location
The area is a bit busy/noisy, and the neighborhood is somewhat landlocked. However, it’s a great location to drive to local (and not so local) interests. The owner connected with us a couple of times. The use of the boat was great, although our weather wasn’t the best for boating, pool or hot tub. But we did utilize it several times. The interior is in need of some attention such as quality painting and refresh. We also felt there were too many “extras” in every closet and cupboards for our five week stay. In-unit washer/dryer would be nice!

Spacious, peaceful, lots of extras!
We were surprised at the little things that were provided: beach toys, lounge chairs, coolers, beach towels, movies, music, internet connection, fishing poles, shampoo, soap, lotions. No need to pack anything but your toothbrush! Condo is tucked into side street with tropical fauna. Our 11 and 6 year old daughters enjoyed their bedroom and the master is very spacious. Sidewalk along the main road good for running and exploring the neighborhoods.
Paul and Karen very always quick to respond to emails and phone calls. My daughter forgot an item at the condo and Paul mailed it back to us right away. Great costomer service!
Do not pass up this condo!
Stay was very comfortable! Exactly as advertised! Plenty of room, clean, boat was a bonus! We loved boating to the Tarpon Turtle for lunch!

Why they chose this property
Lake Tarpon Villas is unique in many ways. It has the peacefulness of a romantic getaway on Lake Tarpon but it is nestled in one of the most beautiful beach areas in the country. You can fresh water fish out your back door in one of the best bass fishing lakes in the state, or head to the fishing docks in Tarpon Springs and Clearwater Beach where you can hop on a deep sea fishing boat to catch the big ones! You are within driving distance to Busch Gardens, Sea World and Disney World. The city of Tampa is just a drive over the causeway with many venues you would seek in a larger city. Beach life, entertainment and fine dining in the Florida Suncoast. What more could you ask for! http://www.youtube.com/embed/iaf8LRKqVK8?rel=0
What makes this property unique
Pick sunshine in freshwater or saltwater... It is here for you and your family to enjoy.. A 19' pontoon boat for you to enjoy with friends and family! Owner owned Yacht Charter service; 45' Sea Ray Sundancer available for day and sunset cruises for our guests!
