I've been around this area for decades, sometimes full-time but, for the past many years, part-time. I've been a "Super Host" for many years on a competing site and believe that customer service is key, both as a traveler and a host. Currently I spend part of my time at Indian Rocks Beach ("IRB" to locals) and part in the Netherlands. (Ik spreek ook Nederlands!) I have local on-demand assistance for this property and many friends nearby, and I'm always here in spirit!

We purchased this house in 2013, inheriting a year-round renter. In 2020, we began a complete overhaul. As these things go, it took more than a year, but what a beautiful house it now is! The "cottage" was built in 1941 and I'm guessing some of the palm trees date that far back. All our back-yard plants and trees are native.

We are south-facing, so get tons of sun, and our water view is wide. To the west, you see the city's nature preserve and a lovely stand of mangroves. Because of the trees and lot location, the yard feels extremely private and natural. There's also a lovely paved area with natural gas grill -- no need for propane tanks! From the back yard you'll see all kinds of birds and likely dolphins and, in warm months, even manatees if you're lucky! Because our street ends with a cul-de-sac, traffic is minimal. The beach is a 5- to 7-min walk away.
