An Invitation to Live Lightly in the Florida Sun: A Mid-Century Sanctuary
There is a particular magic to stepping across the threshold of a home that doesn’t try to impress with opulence, but instead seduces you with the hush of considered design, the warmth of lived-in comfort, and the subtle, ever-present promise of adventure nearby. In Holiday, Florida — tucked into a sun-drenched, quietly whispering neighborhood just far enough from the fray — you’ll find exactly that sort of home.
This is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom Mid-Century Modern retreat, but to describe it merely in terms of numbers and fixtures is to miss the soul of the place. You arrive not just to accommodations, but to a tableau. A vignette in light and space — carefully curated, yet unpretentious — where you’ll cook, rest, reconnect, and perhaps rediscover what it means to slow down.
A Home with a Pulse
Open the cheerful front door, and you’re not stepping into a house — you’re walking onto a stage of mood and memory. Bold color splashes through retro-inspired fixtures and playful wall art, casting lively shadows across white-washed sun-room walls and polished surfaces. A large, streaming-friendly Roku Smart TV commands the attention in the main living room, but it never dominates. Instead, it's an amenity among many: one of four 4K Smart TVs, each ready to sync with your favorite apps — your digital comforts transplanted effortlessly to this Florida haven.
Through broad-paneled windows, sunlight slides in across impeccable floors and settles like warm syrup in the corners of the room. The furniture is thoughtfully selected: plush, intuitive, and honest. A sofa that beckons you to nap. An armchair that knows you’ll pick up a book you’ve been meaning to finish. The dining space, modest but deliberate, offers a perfect perch for a morning coffee or evening bottle of wine, as palm leaves sway outside in the subtropical air.
The Art of Slow Living
The kitchen feels more European than American — functional but elegant. Stainless steel appliances hum with promise: a five-burner electric range for experimental dinners, a full-size microwave and toaster for casual days, a refrigerator with a built-in water and ice dispenser that subtly reminds you to hydrate under that Florida sun. If you're the sort who travels with herbs and a wooden spoon — or at least imagines yourself so — you’ll find all the tools here to make a proper meal.
When the dinner plates are cleared and the sun hangs low, step through sliding glass doors to the sun-room, the home’s hidden cove. It’s a pleasure.
The Sun-room: Your Second Living Room
The sun-room, accessed by gliding through those vintage-style sliders, is more than a bonus space — it’s a narrative shift. If the main living area is about re-connection and leisure, this room is a retreat within a retreat. A second Roku Smart TV offers an alternate story, another chance to unplug or binge, depending on your mood. There's another table here too — perfect for card games under the soft ceiling fan whirl, late-night talks, or a lazy brunch after a sunrise walk.
And if you’re the kind of traveler who thinks vacation doesn’t mean pressing pause on productivity, you’ll find solace in the dedicated workspace within the master bedroom — a quiet nook with good light and faster Wi-Fi than most coffee shops.
Where You Sleep Like You Mean It
Paul Bowles once wrote that "sleep is the only real freedom." Here, that freedom is well-appointed.
The master suite features a king-size bed fitted with hotel-grade linens, blackout shades, and a memory foam mattress that’s equal parts cloud and cradle. The en-suite bath, with its walk-in shower and subtle sophistication, makes every morning feel just a little more like a spa retreat. There’s also a walk-in closet, which doesn’t just hold clothes — it offers a sense of order, of breathing room.
The second bedroom holds a queen bed and another Smart TV — ideal for couples traveling together, close friends, or a small family. No detail is overlooked: each bedside lamp doubles as a charging station, the linens are crisp and breathable, and every corner of each room is curated for quiet comfort.
The second bathroom — with its throwback tile-work and full shower/tub combo — reminds you that form and function can indeed share space. Complimentary Bergman Kelly toiletries and plush towels complete the spa-like experience.
Entertain, Connect, or Disconnect Entirely
The four Roku-enabled 4K TVs throughout the home make it easy for everyone to find their niche. Want the kids to watch cartoons while you catch the game or binge your latest obsession? The sun-room and living room TVs are close but separate, allowing for different programming in shared proximity. With a glass partition between them, you can hear yourself think — or not think at all.
Broadband Wi-Fi ensures uninterrupted work or streaming, and every bedroom lamp includes USB charging. It’s the kind of connectivity that works in the background — never demanding your attention, always there when needed.
Outdoors, with Just Enough Nature
Step into the fenced backyard, and you’ll find a patio designed for golden-hour reverie. Solar lights sketch soft outlines into the night, illuminating conversation, laughter, and maybe even a glass of something chilled. The yard is neat, the furniture weathered just enough to feel welcoming. No over-manicured pretension — just a place where things feel real.
Here, you can breathe.
The Practical Bits (Beautifully Executed)
• Washer/Dryer: Full-size, located in the garage — perfect for longer stays or sandy returns from Anclote River Beach.
• Iron & Board: In the master closet, for those who dress deliberately.
• Garage Parking: One car in, one in the driveway. Just note the clearance: 6’3½”. Double-check your roof rack.
• Xeriscaping Landscaping: No grass to trample, no sprinklers to dodge — just Florida stone, thoughtfully placed.
Location as Launchpad
When you’re ready to wander, the location becomes your co-conspirator.
You're just:
• 10 minutes from Anclote River Park, with its breezy coastal trails and dolphin-spotting piers.
• 10 minutes from the sponge docks of Tarpon Springs, where Greek heritage lingers in the scent of grilled octopus and the echo of bazoukis.
• 23 minutes to Fred Howard Park, where narrow causeways lead to lush hammocks and turquoise wading pools.
• 30 minutes to Honeymoon Island State Park, a name that feels like permission to slow dance with the Gulf breeze.
• 15 minutes to Cypress Run Golf Club, should your holiday involve greens and a well-behaved putter.
• 4 minutes to Winn-Dixie and daily conveniences.
For the urbanists or theme-park pilgrims, Tampa International Airport is a manageable 42-minute drive, and Clearwater Beach — impossibly white, unapologetically popular — sits 48 minutes away.
From this quiet street in Holiday, Florida, you’re not far from anything — and better yet, you’re removed from everything that doesn’t serve you.
Cleanliness, Clarity, and Care
This is a pet-free property — not out of preference, but necessity. The host’s allergies make it a strict (but guest-beneficial) policy. The result is an environment free of dander and residual odors — ideal for sensitive travelers.
Cleaning here isn’t a task; it’s a philosophy. The home is maintained to an obsessive standard, with every stay reset to neutral: fresh linens, disinfected surfaces, and subtle touches that suggest someone actually cares (because they do). High-touch surfaces are sanitized, and attention is paid to light switches, remotes, and everything you didn’t think to wipe.
Things to Note (The Fine Print That Matters)
• No pets — no exceptions.
• No smoking or vaping inside the home.
• Quiet hours begin at 10 PM, and the neighborhood — respectful, quiet — appreciates it.
• No parties — this isn’t a party house. It’s a soul-recharging house.
You’ll have full access to the home, garage, patio, and peace. Entry is easy: a lock-box key with code is provided before arrival, and once you’re in, the space is yours entirely.
A Final Word from the Road
You’ve stayed in places that were sterile and places that were cluttered. You’ve walked into spaces that felt like someone else's leftovers or stage sets for a lifestyle no one actually lives.
This home isn’t any of that.
It’s the kind of space that travels with you. It doesn’t just host your vacation — it nestles inside the memory of it. Long after you’ve left, you'll remember the way morning light scattered across the living room rug, how the evening air turned golden in the sun-room, and how comfort, when thoughtfully constructed, can become a kind of quiet luxury.
