About this property

Walk to Sunset Beach • Heated Pool • Bikes & Kayak

Make Sunset Beach your home base for a relaxing Florida Gulf Coast getaway. Just a short walk or bike ride from Sunset Beach, this spacious 4-bedroom home gives families and groups their own private heated pool, bicycles, a kayak, and plenty of room to relax. Spend the day at the beach, cool off in the pool, bike the nearby trails, or head out to explore Tarpon Springs—then come home to your own private retreat.

Walk to Sunset Beach
Head to the end of the block and you're at Sunset Beach Park on the Gulf of Mexico. Walk or ride one of our bikes to the beach for swimming, relaxing by the water, and those beautiful Florida Gulf Coast sunsets.

Relax by Your Private Heated Pool
When you're ready to stay home, spend the day around your private heated pool. Relax under the palm tree with a cool drink while the family enjoys the pool, pool volleyball, bean bag toss, and our beach and pool toys.

Bike, Kayak & Explore
Grab one of our bikes and explore the area's beaches and riding trails, or take the kayak out for another way to enjoy the Florida outdoors. Howard Park is about 1.5 miles away, and the famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks are about 3.5 miles away for restaurants, shopping, history, and local culture.

A Great Home Base for the Gulf Coast
Sunset Beach Getaway puts you close to Tarpon Springs and the surrounding Gulf beaches, with Clearwater Beach and other Tampa Bay attractions within easy driving distance. And when you're finished exploring, come back to your own private pool and comfortable vacation home.

This property is a 20, on a scale of 1-10! It is head and shoulders over every prior property that I have rented on VRBO. It is clean, very well provisioned and located in a nice, safe area. There are very good restaurants and pubs close by and downtown Tarpon Springs is beautiful. The property manager was responsive and helpfull, from our engagement to checkout. Our group visited the area for our annual Spring Training Baseball trip, and we could not have picked a better location. Returning home from the ball park to a clean, sun drenched and refreshing pool was the cherry on top. The local beaches are also great, particularly the state park.Thank you Steve and Co.

Tarpon Springs is a nice town with lots of options for great food and fun. Pack your bags and rent this home, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for all the extras, you are great hosts!

An absolutely perfect stay!

We had the most wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that they had thought of every little detail to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed (and more). The pool was a total highlight—private and perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s rare to find a place that checks every box, but this one truly did. Thank you Steve and Joyce, for your hospitality and for creating such a perfect getaway spot. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful vacation

This is a beautiful beach home near the beach. My family of four had a wonderful time here. The kids loved the pool and all the bikes and toys already there for us. We used the provided kayak at the sunset beach 5min walk down the road. The host was responsive and professional. We went to Lego land that was just over an hour away and went to Tampa/St. Petersburg. Thank you! A++++ We will return again 100%

This house is gorgeous! It looks just as good if not better than the pictures. Super comfortable bed, soft towels, plenty of pillows, decorated perfectly, open and spacious, and very well stocked. Even smoked my first turkey on Thanksgiving in their smoker and it turned out so delicious I bought my own smoker when I got home. My wife was ready to move in permanently. Well done.

All our family needed to escape the cold

We planned this the week before to escape sub zero temperatures at home with our school age kids. Temps were around 80. We mostly walked to Sunset Park and enjoyed the beach. Everything we needed was there -chairs, umbrella, coolers, even beach bags. We also enjoyed Howard Park and spent a day at Busch Gardens. Everything is at least as nice or nicer than the pictures look. The owners made sure we had child life vests like we asked about. The kitchen and grill worked out great. Comfortable bedding. Plenty of towels. We played the games in a closet. The pool would be even more awesome. We already are thinking about how we can come back next year.

After 25 years of building and managing our own rental properties and move to Florida, we couldn't wait to use our experience and skills in our own vacation rentals.

We promised you'll enjoy your stay as much a we'll enjoy having you stay at Sunset Getaway.

Thank You,

Why they chose this property

Because we could update the open floor plan to a more modern version with a beach feel. In addition, it's 1 block from Sunset Beach and it's unique in that it has a circle drive in front on the main road to the beach and a 1900's brick road in the rear with it's own driveway and a place to put a swimming pool (coming in January 2021

What makes this property unique

Our neighborhood at Sunset Getaway is mostly single family occupied homes with wonderful neighbors. Probably much like your own neighborhood, except it has the ocean and a beach just a block away.
