About this property
3/2 Waterfront Home with Private Pool!
This lovely, tropical three-bedroom, two-bath Physician's vacation home is available for your dream vacation. The waterfront house is on Crystal Island in Madeira Beach, on a quiet cul de sac. It is all on one level (no stairs). From the moment you enter the house, you see the view of your pool, dock, and a saltwater cove connecting the intracoastal waterway to the Gulf of Mexico. The large, high-ceilinged living room, master bedroom, kitchen, and dining room all look out onto the water. It is very light and spacious. The view is framed by coconut palms, hibiscus and mango trees providing shade in the afternoon, and beautiful sunsets! You see dolphins, Hank the Great Blue Heron, and egrets daily, and the occasional manatee! Ospreys land at the dock to eat their catch. Inside, everything is new and completely remodeled, not a typical rental home. The kitchen is stocked for the serious cook, with dinnerware for twelve, and the dining room table seats eight. Lots of books (including cookbooks), DVDs, CDs, puzzles, and games are provided. We have smart TVs with high-speed internet and extensive cable including HBO (with Netflix and Amazon Prime available). There are granite countertops in the kitchen and baths. The laundry room with washer and dryer is beside the kitchen, which is stocked with basic arrival items including detergent and paper products, coffee, and tea. Both a Keurig and a standard coffee maker are provided, as well as an electric kettle. The Master bedroom has a king-size bed with Waverly linens, a large flat-screen TV, a private bath with double sinks, a separate water closet, and a huge walk-in shower. With a split floor plan for privacy, a separate hall leads to the second bedroom with queen bed, third bedroom with twin beds, and the second bathroom. At your private pool just out the living room door, is a covered lanai with a ceiling fan, sofa and chairs, as well as a teak dining table and chairs and a cypress swing, lounge chairs, and gas grill. Bikes, pool floats, beach chairs, fishing poles, and umbrellas are in the garage, with plenty of parking space in the driveway. An extension cord from the garage can be used to charge your car. The home is near John's Pass Village, with many shops and restaurants, and within easy driving distance to museums, theme parks, and sports and other venues in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, and Orlando. The owners, Cathy and Randy, live nearby in Tampa, so you can be confident that any problems or concerns will be quickly resolved. The house has had excellent care, and many guests return year after year. Please scroll down to see our 100% 5-star ratings from our previous guests. Please message us through VRBO with any questions. We look forward to having you as our guests, and enjoy meeting people from around the world!

About the host
Hosted by Randall
We bought this house when our son was younger and we enjoyed coming here from Tampa almost every weekend. Now that he has graduated from college, and we have retired, we enjoy traveling and don't use the beach house as often. It seemed a shame for such a nice house to sit empty so much of the time, so we decided to rent it. We heard about VRBO from friends, and we have been fortunate to have very nice couples as guests. Many have returned for several years, remarking that this is the nicest house they have rented after years of vacationing on the Gulf coast.
Why they chose this property
We live in Tampa and were both busy professionals. We wanted a place to go to on the weekends and to keep our boats that had easy access to open water as well as many amenities. But we didn't want to stay in a noisy touristy area. Being close to John's Pass Village allowed us to take advantage of the shops and great restaurants. The house is moments from the Gulf of Mexico beach, but has a view of the Intracoastal waterway to watch the boats go by. Amenities including professional sports, theatre, museums (including Dali), galleries (including Chihuly), and all the Florida amusement parks are within easy driving distance.
What makes this property unique
We really enjoy relaxing outside in the morning with a cup of coffee or at the end of the day watching the sunset from the pool. It is very private and quiet. At both times you are likely to see dolphins swimming and feeding. Hank the Great Blue Heron visits daily since our British guests starting feeding him! You can swim in the salt water, then rinse off in the pool. You can sit at the end of the dock for fishing or crabbing, and occasionally even see a manatee!
