About this property

Best Family Vacation at the Beach or the Pool.

When enjoying your stay at Sunset Getaway, the whole family can walk or ride our bikes to the end of the block and you're at Sunset Beach Park.  Sunset Beach rest on the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  

Or just relax the day away, when you lay by the pool or have a cool drink under the palm tree.  There's plenty of beach/pools toys and the whole family can join in a bean bag toss and pool volleyball.  

Rather stretch out and see the countryside?  Take our bikes and visit the riding trails and beaches at nearby Howard park (1.5 miles away) or ride to our world famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks about 3.5 miles away and enjoy a piece of history and the local culture.

You are 25 miles from Tampa International Airport, 90 minutes to the theme parks in Orlando, 45 minutes from Busch Gardens and only 28 minutes from the beautiful Clearwater Beaches. For golf lovers, the world famous Innisbrook Golf Course is only about 2.5 miles away.

This property is a 20, on a scale of 1-10! It is head and shoulders over every prior property that I have rented on VRBO. It is clean, very well provisioned and located in a nice, safe area. There are very good restaurants and pubs close by and downtown Tarpon Springs is beautiful. The property manager was responsive and helpfull, from our engagement to checkout. Our group visited the area for our annual Spring Training Baseball trip, and we could not have picked a better location. Returning home from the ball park to a clean, sun drenched and refreshing pool was the cherry on top. The local beaches are also great, particularly the state park.Thank you Steve and Co.

An absolutely perfect stay!

We had the most wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that they had thought of every little detail to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed (and more). The pool was a total highlight—private and perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s rare to find a place that checks every box, but this one truly did. Thank you Steve and Joyce, for your hospitality and for creating such a perfect getaway spot. We can’t wait to come back!

Tarpon Springs is a nice town with lots of options for great food and fun. Pack your bags and rent this home, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for all the extras, you are great hosts!

Wonderful vacation

This is a beautiful beach home near the beach. My family of four had a wonderful time here. The kids loved the pool and all the bikes and toys already there for us. We used the provided kayak at the sunset beach 5min walk down the road. The host was responsive and professional. We went to Lego land that was just over an hour away and went to Tampa/St. Petersburg. Thank you! A++++ We will return again 100%

I get to be the first!

This house is gorgeous! It looks just as good if not better than the pictures. Super comfortable bed, soft towels, plenty of pillows, decorated perfectly, open and spacious, and very well stocked. Even smoked my first turkey on Thanksgiving in their smoker and it turned out so delicious I bought my own smoker when I got home. My wife was ready to move in permanently. Well done.

Really Nice Place!

The house was actually nicer in person than the pictures! Open concept from kitchen to dining room to living room. Home was in pristine condition! Beds were comfortable and everyone had their own space. Unfortunately, the pool wasn't completed when we got there, but the owner certainly made up for it. Would recommend for family of four as parents were on one side of the house and kids on the other! Great set up! The location was great to get to the beach at the end of the main street. Area was nice to bike ride around and there were many board games and things to do in the garage for guests. Top notch place!

All our family needed to escape the cold

We planned this the week before to escape sub zero temperatures at home with our school age kids. Temps were around 80. We mostly walked to Sunset Park and enjoyed the beach. Everything we needed was there -chairs, umbrella, coolers, even beach bags. We also enjoyed Howard Park and spent a day at Busch Gardens. Everything is at least as nice or nicer than the pictures look. The owners made sure we had child life vests like we asked about. The kitchen and grill worked out great. Comfortable bedding. Plenty of towels. We played the games in a closet. The pool would be even more awesome. We already are thinking about how we can come back next year.

Nice place

The home is very nice and well-stocked for all needs. Master BR is last room to get ac so it’s quite uncomfortable. We had to use fans to survive the heat. Owner had a portable ac delivered, but no way to hook it up properly in the window, so it was useless. They have a very generous restaurant gift card for the inconvenience which was appreciated. The area is okay. It’s a bay, not the ocean. I should have examined the map more closely. We would have stayed in Clearwater or further south had we realized.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Frisbie

Host profile image
After 25 years of building and managing our own rental properties and move to Florida, we couldn't wait to use our experience and skills in our own vacation rentals.

We promised you'll enjoy your stay as much a we'll enjoy having you stay at Sunset Getaway.

Thank You,
Steve & Joyce Frisbie

Why they chose this property

Because we could update the open floor plan to a more modern version with a beach feel. In addition, it's 1 block from Sunset Beach and it's unique in that it has a circle drive in front on the main road to the beach and a 1900's brick road in the rear with it's own driveway and a place to put a swimming pool (coming in January 2021

What makes this property unique

Our neighborhood at Sunset Getaway is mostly single family occupied homes with wonderful neighbors. Probably much like your own neighborhood, except it has the ocean and a beach just a block away.
