Vacation in the Unspoiled Coastal Vibe at the Sponge Docks!
Experience the Charm of Tarpon Springs
Step into the heart of Tarpon Springs, just moments from the world-famous Sponge Docks, in this stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bath home. Nestled between pristine parks, scenic beaches, and the beautiful Pinellas Trail, this coastal haven offers the best of both nature and culture. Explore picturesque waterfront dining, authentic Greek bakeries, charming boutiques, and unique shops, all just steps from your door.
Perfect for food lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and sun seekers alike, this vibrant neighborhood invites you to indulge, unwind, and explore. There's nothing like strolling the docks at sunset, enjoying fresh seafood, cycling the Pinellas Trail, playing golf, or discovering local treasures. The shell hunting and sunset dolpin tours right from the Docks is a must. Tarpon Springs offers an experience that has earned it the title of America’s Best Cultural Small Town.
ABOUT THE HOME...
Welcome to your dream getaway—where comfort, style, and location come together in perfect harmony. This beautifully appointed home offers three spacious bedrooms and three baths, with the main level featuring two bedrooms and two well-designed ¾ bathrooms—one en suite for added privacy.
The front living room flows into a large gourmet kitchen with a center island, perfect for cooking, gathering, and making memories. From there, step into a breathtaking family room with soaring 9' ceilings, louvered shutters, and a patio with water view overlooking open space.
Upstairs, the entire top floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, your personal retreat in the sky. Sip your morning coffee or unwind at sunset on your private screened-in lanai. Inside, you’ll find a cozy loveseat, a writing desk for quiet moments, a walk-in closet, and a full bath with a large soaking tub. With its own washer and dryer and panoramic windows open to sunshine and soaring seagulls, this space feels like a sanctuary.
There's a charming town trolley that stops regularly to explore neighboring, Dunedin, Clearwater Beach, and beyond. Parks, beaches, golf, and bike trails are all nearby. You may find there's little reason to leave this coastal paradise.
Whether you're here for a week, two, or longer—you’re not just staying in a house, you’re living the vacation lifestyle—every single day.
Come relax, explore, and fall in love with this unforgettable coastal escape.
Did we mention there's an old school pac-man video game, a guitar, and games for all ages?

About the host
Hosted by John Corliss
I am a real estate professional who recently discovered Tarpon Springs. With my home in Colorado, I had never visited Florida prior to 2019. I so enjoy this amazing home and unique town.
Why they chose this property
The real estate axiom Location, Location, Location has never rung more true. The fantastic floor plan of the home make it the ideal get-away. You'll be waking up every morning to the aroma of bakeries in the neighborhood and the bustle of all the Sponge Docks has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Walk to everything. Experience the salt-life out your front door.
