About this house rental
This home is the place you are looking for … when you need that break from work … when you crave some family time … when you just love to enjoy water, sun and beach … all that and so much more is what this home invites you to experience.
For a detailed description, I refer to the photos that can tell far more than I ever could. They tell the story of relaxation, comfort and luxury that characterize this fabulous home and location. In addition, a brief descriptive outline is below.
This 4-bedroom house is just ½ hour (21 miles) away from Tampa International Airport and as close as 8 minutes (4 miles) to Florida’s most pristine beaches. Right next door, the famous Innisbrook Resort features 4 top rated Golf courses including the Copperhead course played every March for the annual PGA TOUR Championship.
The quiet neighborhood (last house in a cul-de-sac) surely guarantees peaceful evenings at the pool side, barbecuing on a high-quality Weber grill and enjoying the warm Florida evenings outdoors protected by a covered porch. During the day, you’ll appreciate the shaded secluded pool area while sipping on your favorite drink and relaxing in the pool.
What about the beaches? Prepare to be amazed! Just 4.5 miles away, the great beach of Tarpon Springs Fred Howard Park awaits you. Other beaches nearby are Sunset Beach (4 miles), Honeymoon Island State Park Beaches (8.5 miles - great for shelling), Clearwater Beach (15 miles) and Sand Key Park Beach (16 miles).
Our beaches offer all of the water sports and activities you could want: Fishing Charters & Tours; Boat Tours; Dolphin & Whale Watching; Waterskiing & Jet Skiing; Surfing; Windsurfing & Kitesurfing; Parasailing & Paragliding; Scuba & Snorkeling … did I forget something? Maybe sign up for a Sponge Diving boat’s tour where you will see a sponge diver dressing up in an authentic suit used around 1900 when Tarpon Springs was called the “Sponge Capital of the World”. You can still smell and taste this unique charm of this Greek community while strolling the Sponge Docks of Tarpon Springs Marina.
Chartering a boat or catching a ferry allows you to explore some islands as well, among them the Anclote Key Preserve State Park featuring a light house and offering beaches, swimming and boating. The uninhabited natural Caladesi Island State Park offers beautiful beaches. Oh, by the way, anyone in the mood to start a sea shell collection with an original Florida Sand Dollar shell or Florida starfish shell?
Did your daughter just watch the movie “Dolphin Tale” (part of my DVD library) with the world-famous dolphin Winter who was found entangled in a crab trap line and rescued by a few volunteering for the Clearwater Beach Marine Aquarium? Well, surprise her with a visit to that aquarium!
Has she ever seen the world famous Weeki Wachee Mermaids? It was a great experience for my granddaughter and is just 30 minutes north of here ... combine your fun trip with great boating and kayaking on the Weeki Wachee river.
Any other Florida natural attractions - such as visiting the Manatees in Crystal River and all world known attractions of Florida are only 1 – 4 hours away.
Back to your home away from home: For transparency, I like to advise that the rates initially displayed by this website are my base rates covering up to 6 guests for the dates requested (most common requests). Any additional guest (up to the maximum of 10 guests) is charged $15.00 per night due to higher wear and tear, cleaning and material and supply cost.
My house provides an open split floor plan with 1 master bedroom, 2 regular bedrooms; 1 Studio (featuring office space and quality bunk bed for 2); 1 Sunroom (featuring a pull-out for the teens enjoying staying away from the main family area 😊); 2 baths, kitchen, family room, living room, HEATED pool in a large enclosed patio area with covered sitting area.
Please note: The SUNROOM is only available upon request !!!

Overall house was clean and the kitchen was great.The kitchen had everything we needed to prep and cook with.
The pool and pool area was fantastic and so was the grille.
The living area was very relaxing and comfortable.
The second bath toilet was constantly running could not get it to stop.
Both spare bedroom TVs would not work even with the cable or using smart settings for Netflix.
Overall a great stay for our group

We had a wonderful stay! My husband, Father-n-law, and Pomsky were all very comfortable with plenty of space for everyone to relax both together and separately. The pool was immaculate and wonderful - and we loved the surrounding plants and trees in the yard! The covered outdoor area was a great place to hang out! We loved taking dog walks in the neighborhood; and we loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen. The bedrooms and baths were beautiful! Convenient Laundry and pool/ping pong in the garage! Communication with Michael and Fran was great… and when a major weather system moved in and wreaked havoc on our travel plans, Both Michael who was out of the country and local property helper Fran were quick to help us arrange an extra night’s stay. We were so grateful. The house was close to beautiful beaches such as Sunset Beach and Honeymoon Island, and there were great restaurants and shops nearby… amazing Italian, of course fabulous seafood, delicious breakfast places, and Greek bakery delights. It was a wonderful experience - and we would highly recommend this spacious and comfortable home away from home! Thank you so much!!!

What else to say. From the minute I opened the front door it felt like home. The list and pictures 100% accurate. Clean as whistle. Owners immediately responsive when called upon (only once did I need them). Great location in Tarpon Springs. Everything you might need for an extended stay less than a 5 minute drive away. Kudos 😊

Thr property was exactly as pictured! Immaculately clean!
The house felt like "home"! Big enough to have personal space when needed!
It had games and pool toys which were perfect for our grandkids! Plenty of room for my sister and I to cook! Bedrooms were great size! VERY comfy beds!
We even met a few of the neighbors! They were very nice too!
Definitely will be enjoying this property again!

This is the 2nd time we’ve rented this home. Both times were great. We had extended family with us, plenty of room for all. Needed nothing. Would definitely rent this again if weee in the same area

This place was even better than advertised! We loved the layout of the house, the plentiful spaces for us all to sleep, and the well-stocked kitchen. Best of all, at least from the kids' perspective, was the pool and patio area. The owner and representative were so easy to get in touch with and wonderful to communicate with. We would definitely stay there again—highly recommend!

This was a perfect place to stay if you have kids. The pool is shaded which allowed us to be in it from morning until night! We loved how warm and clean it was and the lights in it at night! We’d go back again just for the pool.
The house is located close to beaches and restaurants if you want to go out. We didn’t bring anything for the beach but we found an umbrella and some beach toys so we were all set for a day out! This was our first vacation out with four small kids and we would definitely stay again. Everything is exactly like he said!

This was our first vacation tarpon Springs. The house was located in the perfect location. Very close to golf courses, breweries, and great restaurants. The house also had everything you need to cook great meals too. The only thing you need to know about the house is the sun on the pool deck area. We were under the impression that there would be areas of full sun. This was not the case...the entire pool deck gets filtered sun. This is probably great for some visitors, but if your looking for full sun you need to get creative. We ended up sitting in lawn chairs in the front yard. Overall, it's a great location and the property manager was very responsive.

Property location was terrific! Quiet neighborhood, location convenient to everything you would want to do in Tarpon. Hospital close by. Home was very well furnished and clean. No complaints about the beds for sure! Pool area was fabulous and pool was warm. A refreshing treat at the end of January! Used the washer and dryer...great set. Home is well stocked so go there first before ordering extras! Loved our time in this home and definitely will be back!

We had a relaxing time in Tarpon Springs staying at this property. This home was very clean and had all the amenities that it describes in the description. We used the pool and the barbecue pretty much every day. The location of the property is close to everything which was awesome when we made day trips to the beach or to the grocery store. Any questions or concerns that we had were addressed immediately.
Thank you again for a "Great Time"

This process from check in to check out was extremely smooth. My family and I had a good time at this house. The pool was too cold so we didn't utilize it often but the kids made up for it with ping pong. We would definitely stay here again should Tampa call us back. I recommend this property to anyone wanting a quite area to stay in.

Wonderful vacation house
It's a great size for a large family. We had last minute cancelations so it was only my husband, me and my two children. My girls loved the pool and the bunk beds. The tvs were alittle difficult to operate in some of the rooms but we barely watched it. It was in a great location and close to the beaches. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were friendly.

Family vacation
We had a great stay. The house had everything you could need and more. There was more than enough room for everyone. The pool was great a little to warm for my taste in the summer but thats just me. Loved everything about it. Close to stores and not far from the beach. Clearwater beach was about 30 min away.

We had a great time ! The pool was refreshing and relaxing, the house was everything we expected. It is really well stocked. We only could not figure out how to connect our services to the bedroom TVs or get the cable working in the bedrooms, so we just used our phones when we felt like watching something. But we really just stayed poolside most of our time in the house. Tarpon springs is lovely and fascinating. Clearwater Aquarium is everything we hoped it would be.( keep in mind it is a conservation / rehab , not a typical tourist aquarium) the tours on the inner workings are a must. The replay arcade a definite must do. We highly highly recommend capt.Jacks and Dimitris. Jojo’s Italian was pretty great too. If like a drink or four.. the distillery tour and castle winery are must do. ( castle winery, only older children allowed). The sponge docks were something we ended our day with every evening. We’d take a stroll there. Being a Dalí Fan, we did drive into St. Petersburg . I do recommend taking in some of art that is very prominent in the area. The drive is nice and the views are beautiful. Will definitely need to come back and do more things!!!
