About this property

At the Lakeside retreat you can experience Florida from its most beautiful side. Located directly on a small lake, turtles, otters and of course many species of birds can be observed directly from the tropical garden. Short excursions into the lake landscape are possible with the in-house pedal boat or canoe. Surrounded by dense palm hedges, the landscaped garden offers a lot of privacy and the pool invites you to cool off.
There are wonderful beaches and numerous shopping opportunities within a 15-minute drive. The sponge diving town of Tarpon Springs with the sponge docks and the charming downtown is also worth seeing. Tampa Airport is just 40 minutes away.

Great Location

Our family attended a college graduation in Tampa and this was the perfect location. Away from the large city traffic, but close enough to drive in if we needed. Lots of shops and food choices nearby. We especially loved the pool and it was great taking early morning walks in the neighborhood (which has sidewalks). Everything was as pictured. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent people to work with

Owners went above and beyond to accommodate us last minute. Friends coming in town for an event and storm damaged the place they were booked. This one opened up and helped out very last minute. We appreciate everything. K9 Jerry Lee approved and gives 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful!

Christian and his mom were wonderful and great about responding to any questions we had! The property is beautiful, the beds are comfy, the house gives you plenty of privacy in the back! The landscaping in the backyard is gorgeous and tropical! The dock was a bonus because my husband and brother were able to catch bass back there! All in all a wonderful little spot!

Peaceful and Luxurious Lakeside Vacation Spot

We have enjoyed our stay at the Lakeside Retreat immensely. It is a fantastic destination to relax and serves as a perfect basecamp for adventures in the beautiful surroundings. The house is very spacious, very clean, and beautifully furnished. It comes with all the conveniences you can think of: a well-equipped kitchen, a gorgeous screened patio, a beautiful pool, an outdoor kitchen and shower, and many more perks. The backyard is breathtaking, with amazing plants and many lovely details. The property is connected to a deck on the canal/lake, where we enjoyed many evenings watching birds and turtles, and savoring the sunsets. Christian, the owner, was super friendly and responsive. He was truly determined to ensure that we had an amazing experience. We're looking forward to our next stay at the Lakeside Retreat!

Summer Vacation

Our stay at the lakeside retreat was everlasting! The host was very welcoming & thorough with providing details for our stay beforehand. Our kids enjoyed the pool and outdoor lounge areas every single day we stayed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and there was great convenience to the shopping markets. We also loved the paddle boat and since we brought our fishing rods we even caught a couple baby fish and released them back into the lake. We saw many turtles and other wildlife and enjoyed a nice morning walk around the neighborhood. The only suggestion we can make it adding a tv to the living room area and 2nd bedroom and also ensuring the other two tvs are constantly working. The guest bedroom also needs an updated mattress. We appreciate everything that was offered and would definitely recommend this property for families with children.

About the host

Hosted by Christian Schroth

I grew up in Germany, but Florida has always been my second home. I love being on the water, fishing and canoeing along Florida's scenic rivers. Recently I finally have my own house here, which I'm happy to make available to guests when I'm not in Florida myself.
My mother Trudy lives in Florida since 1991 and she will be around to assist you, if assistance is needed. If you are lucky, she may invite you to an original homemade german dinner ;)
