About this house rental
Escape to our stunning, completely renovated classic Florida ranch home, where sunshine and relaxation await! Perfect for families or small groups of friends, this bright and airy retreat boasts an open floor plan, a gourmet kitchen, and elegant furnishings, all enhanced by luxurious amenities. Rest easy knowing this property has no hurricane damage from Helene or Milton in 2024!
The highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the resort-style heated pool (heating available for a small fee), surrounded by a spacious travertine patio and beautifully designed landscaping. With your own private dock, you’ll have easy access to the tranquil waters of Tampa Bay, ideal for fishing or kayaking right from your backyard.
Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, this home is just a quick drive to downtown St. Pete and the stunning Gulf beaches. Whether you prefer lounging by the pool with a book, splashing with the kids, or exploring local cultural events, you’ll find the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure here.
Designed for comfort, the house features modern amenities like voice-activated smart home features, high-speed fiber optic Wi-Fi, and a spacious living area. The primary bedroom offers a king-size bed, an attached bath with a walk-in shower, and a sitting room with views of the pool and canal. Two additional guest rooms provide flexibility with twin beds that can be combined into kings, sharing a hall bath.
The outdoor living space is truly special, with a covered patio and a pool bath for quick clean-ups. Relax under the shade, enjoy the water views, and watch for dolphins and manatees right off your dock. You’ll also find a charcoal grill and ample seating for dining al fresco.
We’ve equipped the home with plenty of games, puzzles, movies, and pool toys for endless fun, along with kayaks available for rent. The kitchen is stocked with spices and staples to help you avoid those last-minute grocery runs.
Families with young children are welcome! We provide a pack-and-play and feeding seat. However, please note that there is no gate between the house and pool, nor a barrier to the dock, so children must be supervised at all times. We kindly ask parents to clean up after their kids to keep the space pest-free.
We recently updated decor and flooring throughout, enhancing your experience. While we await new professional photos, you may notice slight decor changes from the images.
For your peace of mind, we have security cameras on-site, which are not monitored during your stay but help us manage the property. Please refrain from tampering with them.
Book with confidence! We offer Cancel for Any Reason Insurance, typically costing only 10% or less of your total booking. Details provided during the booking process.

The property boasts a spacious home with a serene setting, amazing pool and dock, lovely decor, and a welcoming host. Plenty of amenities and nearby attractions make for a perfect stay.
5.0
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful home for 5 nights. It was more than large enough to accommodate our group of four adults and two older kids with lots of seating and relaxation options. The pool and dock were amazing and the setting serene, tucked into a quiet neighborhood with close access to restaurants and entertainment. House was clean and nicely decorated and Amy was a welcoming host. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved everything about this place. The manatees in the canal were just a bonus! We will definitely be back!

A great spot for a short stay with friends. Enjoyed the pool and open areas for eating and hanging out. Short drive to most amenities.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely FL home. Amy was a gracious and very responsive host, emailing to make sure we were settled and happy. Our children loved the heated pool, fishing from the dock and the dolphin who visited the canal. We could not have asked for a better "home away from home"! Highly recommend and definitely hope to stay again next winter.

The home was just as advertised. The communication with the owner was easy and timely. My family of 6 plus my mother all had room to spread out. The kitchen was stocked very well and made cooking easy. We very much enjoyed our stay.

For the last 10 years, my family and I have been doing week long Summer vacations that we all look forward to every year. As the years passed, and our family has grown, we outgrew our traditional condo in the panhandle and opted to travel further south to enjoy an entire space of our own. Booking, check in, and all communications with Amy were seamless throughout our stay, however we had several issues the property itself. The outside property is very poorly maintained. Listing pictures show a maintained pool deck, furniture with cushions, live plants, and significantly less clutter than what we were welcomed to. The pool deck we experienced was full of rusted sunscreen bottles on outdoor shelving, unusable furniture do to safety concerns, caked up leaves and other debris all around the pool cover, the outdoor shower was not hooked up to water source and was not secured to any structure, the hose was in a knotted pile on the side of the pool, the side of the house was completely cluttered with owner items. Inside of the house was as advertised, however we were given approx. 6 towels for 9 guests, the master bedroom had no comforter or blanket on the bed. The laundry room is located in the garage and is a complete mess due to owner property and unsafe for use by anyone other than an adult. The hot water heater turned off mid week. Lastly, an entire cabinet of glasses fell off the wall onto my sister as she opened the cabinet due to poor installation. She was covered in bruises

The home and all its amenities are wonderful and perfect for our group. Having never been to St. Pete, we didn’t realize at first glance how “unpretentious” the neighborhood would be, but we quickly adapted and ended up having a great time.
4.0
Pool and dock are great for relaxing. We saw manatees and a dolphin. House was clean and accommodating.
5.0
The heated pool overlooking the bay was a huge plus. We loved seeing Manatee and dolphins in the bay.
The house had plenty towels and the kitchen was fully stocked. The twin size beds are standard but the King size bed was SUPER comfortable and pillows were very nice.
The Master Bath and shared bath shower water pressure could be better but the house does have an outdoor shower right off the patio that has great water pressure.
We really enjoyed our stay and had some amazing food at the local restaurants. Amy communicated very quickly and was very helpful. You wont be disappointed with this home.

We had a wonderful visit at this property and enjoyed fishing from the dock, watching manatees in the canal and kayaking with the rentals available. The house is lovely and has a great setup for friends and family to have their own spaces. The neighborhood is nice, the neighbors are very friendly and it is in a convenient location. Would highly recommend!

4.0
House was generally as described in listing and Amy was a very responsive and helpful host. I would describe the house as neat and comfortably lived in with board games, books, blankets and other homey things. As many guests have stated, the pool area is the highlight of the property with a decent sized pool, plenty of lounge chairs and a boat dock. The water in the channel gathered lots of seaweed and algae since its a dead end but the views are better than a dull backyard.
We had a few issues with housekeeping upon arrival which was disappointing since there's a cleaning fee. Amy would have happily sent the cleaners back but we just wanted our privacy so we rolled with it. In general, the place was clean and well stocked. TV's are all over the place if you need it. We spent most of time in the large living/dining and open kitchen areas. The small coffee station with undercounter fridge is a nice touch. The bedrooms are decent sized and the master bedroom has a useful alcove/desk area.
We were in town for a long swim meet so we drove back and forth to the Aquatics Complex in North Shore Park which was about 17 minutes drive. We grabbed supplies at Publix along the way which made staying at the house easy. The neighborhood might appear a little worn down in areas but everybody we ran into waved hello. The nights were quiet and the streets were calm.
After returning home, we gave Amy a list of suggestions to improve things a bit from our viewpoint and she graciously thanked us. If you're looking for a low key stay in a homey place in south St. Pete, this is a nice option.

Adorable vacation house - close to everything!
The house was exactly as pictured and was truly perfect for our stay in St. Petersburg. We wanted to be able to hang out at the house and easily get to the beaches - which we were able to do! The only slight down side is that the house is truly in a neighborhood - it's totally on the outskirts of St. Pete so you definitely need a rental car. But otherwise, the homeowner was super responsive and everything was great!

Great home centrally located in St. Petersburg
Communication w/ Amy was great, no issues. Pool is great place to chill and the full bath off the back sitting area is perfect. House was fully stocked and decor is beautiful. We had more than enough room for 4 adults and 2 teens. Centrally located in a small, quiet neighborhood in Coquina Key- great for day trips to nearby beaches (Pass-A-Grille was our go to) and near Downtown for restaurants and shopping. Home is at the end of the canal and the kids had no luck fishing- I think that was their only complaint. Beds were comfy (as were the couches) and more than enough to do at the house (board games, movies, books etc.) We really enjoyed our first trip to the area.

Great Family Vacation!
This home is gorgeous, clean, and has plenty of supplies for renters to use such as pool/beach towels, beach chairs, grill, fishing rods, pool floats, sunscreen, and coffee pods just to name a few...they really thought of everything. We have two kids ages 2 and 4, and it was so awesome having the pool right there, the dock there to fish, and the kitchen to cook, etc. It is also within walking distance to a playground and a short drive downtown. It was so perfect and we will 100% be renting this home again and again.

The photos don’t do it justice.
Amazing house. The pool was perfect we saw manatees hanging right off our dock and dolphins while kayaking. Great fishing too. Plenty of room to spread out and the owner was super helpful. What a great spot I’d rate above five stars.

Home away from home on the water
Everything we needed for a great vacation, beautiful backyard right on the water with all of the amenities we needed- including lots of games to entertain us when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Owner was great with communication, overall we were really pleased with our stay.

Great place to enjoy St Pete. Close to town, spacious living area, well stocked cabinets and pantry, comfortable pool. Large with movies, games, and fun spot for kids.Its wonderfully located right on the canal which makes for great views and easy water access.We stayed during red tide and the canal was loaded with dead bloated fish. The house and yard had a bad rotten fishy smell the whole time unfortunately. Not the owners fault of course. The windows were closed but the smell still made it in. Made it hard to enjoy the pool too - candles, fans, and my kids unrelenting intent to swim had us in the water anyway. But not great. Owner was very courteous and responsive while we were there. Wish we would have booked away from the red tide death but unfortunately we had a large group meeting us in St Pete that week so rescheduling just wasn't possible. Would recommend staying here but would suggest waiting until after red tide has passed as the smell is quite unbearable.
