About this house rental
This beautiful home is located in the heart of the historic Sponge Docks fishing village in the enchanted town of Tarpon Springs on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The house is only steps to numerous Greek & waterfront restaurants, bakeries, boutique clothing, souvenir shops, fishing, sunset and dolphin tours, museums, art galleries, performing arts and a busy event calendar throughout the year. Voted best cultural small town in America. The residence is surrounded by all of it.
On the main level there are two bedrooms and two 3/4 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has its own 3/4 bath. A front living room leads into a large gourmet kitchen with island, a great place to eat & gather. There’s a breathtaking family room with 9' ceilings overlooking open space & the Turtle Cove Marina. There is lots of light throughout the home. Boat, Uber/Lyft to the house and you don't really need a car unless the beech is on the list. You can catch the town trolly to explore Dunedin and Clearwater beech.
Occupying the entire upstairs is the primary suite. It expands into a private screened in lanai. It is a wonderful place to take in sunsets, do yoga, relax. The suite has a loveseat, writing desk, walk in closet and full bath with a large soaking tub. It conveniently has its own washer & dryer. Windows on this upper story open it to the seagulls soaring and sunshine outdoors in all directions.
Enjoy your week, or two! Open to longer stays. We think you’re going to love your stay here in this dream house and location. Only 36 miles from Tampa Intl airport. There are two queen size self inflating mattresses which are great for overflow & kids. Beach chairs, umbrella, rafts, snorkels kids goggles, beech sand toys/bucket are on premises.
Visit our renowned beeches! There are two beautiful local beeches, Sunset Beech and Howard Park are a short drive from the house. Other favorites are Honeymoon Island State Park. From there you could ferry over to Caledesi Island. Whether strolling along the Sponge Docks or visiting local attractions, this location offers endless opportunities for explorations and enjoyment.

I grew up in Tarpon Springs back in the 1980s. A lot has changed since then, but the charm remains. I knew this house way back in the day and it has since been updated and it is incredible!! I can't describe it anymore other than perfect!

The pictures of John’s home were very good and quite accurate, but yet being there for real we discovered it to be even better than pictured! We loved the spaces, the furnishings, and the decor and character both indoors and out. The house was equipped with everything we needed, and we were especially thankful for his supplying the brand new crockpot and drip coffeemaker which we had hoped to use! The location was fantastic!!! We could walk to the Spring Bayou to see the manatees and dolphins, or to shop at the many gift shops, or to go to restaurants, coffee shops, or bakeries. We even walked a mile and a half to church one Sunday! We learned some history of the Greek community and the sponge industry on a boat excursion. There was so much to do near the house but yet not far to drive to beaches or other attractions. Thank you, John, for making your wonderful home available for us to enjoy!

We had a great week staying in this beautiful home with our family of 6. It was a week of sunshine, fishing, shopping, sightseeing & visiting with family in Tarpon Springs. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. There are a couple of big grocery stores about 5-7 minutes away by car. Our favorite restaurant is Mr. Souvlaki and our favorite bakery is the National Bakery. The location of the home was very quiet even with the Sponge Docks being a block away.
We would love to come back for vacation next year and stay at this beautiful home again.
