Beachfront Home 3 bedroom 2 bath Views overlooking the beach ! Some recent renovations completed. Nothing fancy about this beachfront home......BUT it is located on the most beautiful spot of the tropical barrier islands between Clearwater beach and St Pete Beach. Amazing beach views! Old Timers call this part of the island "The Narrows" where the sand is just wide enough for a single row of homes.

Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms 2 full baths, large living area and 2 decks overlooking the beach. Watch the sun melt into the Gulf of Mexico as the day ends. Relax and Enjoy our little slice of beach paradise.

About the host
Hosted by Carter Vacation Rentals

Here is just a quick overview of my career along with a few of Carter Vacation strengths in the rental industry.
I have been involved in the hospitality field most of my life. After graduating from Boston University back in 1986 I got my start working as a night auditor in a small hotel just outside of Boston. I quickly became fascinated with this industry and wanted to know everything about it. I enjoyed finding new ways to improve the overall experience for the guests and in doing so, I was promoted often. I learned all aspects of each department and through the years I became the General Manager of some very well-known hotels.
During my corporate career as a General Manager of a Hyatt Hotel in Tampa I had an opportunity to manage a small beach vacation rental along the shores of the Gulf. Simply put…I was hooked. This became my new passion and career.
My wife and I had stayed in vacation rentals in the past with mixed feelings about our stays, I knew there was room for improvement in the Vacation Rental business and I was excited to get started.
My team and I have worked hard and I feel our success at Carter Coastal Vacation Rentals is from having a variety of vacation property options that suites each guests needs and budget. We also have chosen to keep Carter Vacation Rentals business relatively small in order to maintain a personable connection with each of our new arrivals. I, along with my team understand the importance of anticipating the guest’s needs as well as treating each guest with complete respect during their vacation getaway.
We take great pride in serving you. We are here for you. So choose one of our properties and soon you will be enjoying a "little slice of paradise" on the beautiful barrier island.
Hope to "see ya" on the Beach
