About this property

Modern home with private pool and local beaches.

Come relax and recharge by the private pool or at one of the local beaches. Minutes to sunset Beach or the larger Fred Howard beach where you can rent paddle boards, kayaks and more. There are plenty of local restaurants depending on your taste or a modern kitchen for home cooking. Close enough for day trips to Clearwater beach, Busch Gardens or the multiple art galleries in St petersburg. You will feel like you're on vacation but still comfortable at home in this quiet local neighborhood. Also keep your eyes open for Frodo the gopher tortoise who has his home in the front yard.

We had a wonderful time. This is our second stay here and will definitely stay again. We love having a pool right in the back yard and the outdoor seating area. The beaches are within biking distance. The house was nicely decorated and we had everything that we needed. I would recommend this property as it is well maintained.

Don’t stay here… unless you want a perfect vacation!

I fear if too many people find out about this place they’ll have to raise the price! We will definitely be back to this perfectly stocked and located home!

Another Perfect Stay – Our Home from HomeAs with last year, this lovely property once again provided the perfect base for our 3-week annual vacation. The home is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and has all the amenities we need.It’s in a fabulous location, allowing us to explore the stunning beaches all the way down to Sarasota.Wendy, the owner, is as welcoming and accommodating as ever—kindly allowing us a late check-out due to our evening flight.We’re already looking forward to booking again for next year—wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Florida Family Wedding Trip

This home is soo beautifully updated with everything needed for a wonderful family trip. The host was very responsive to questions and communication. The place is totally stocked with everything including Wine Aerator. We all enjoyed the pool, the grill and the entire backyard. It is our favorite place on the west coast of Florida.

Family Vacation July 2025

Very happy with this property. Thank you Wendy for the easy access and for communicating so promptly. This property is very clean and has lots of space for my family of 5 or more. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen is load with everything you need to cook. The pool is clean and well maintained. My son really enjoyed. Nice neighborhood and quiet which I love. I definitely recommend this place. Five stars stay. I would definitely come back again. I also recommend Honeymoon Island 10-15 minutes from this property.

Wendy was easy to work with, very flexible and considerate of our situation. The house is clean, neat, well stocked and nicely furnished. The abundant pool accessories were appreciated.

Had an amazing time in this property. Beautifully clean and exactly as described Wendy the host was easy to contact and was very accommodating letting us check out later than usual due to our flight back to the UK being in the evening. Would highly recommend this property, so much in fact that I arranged my dates for 2025 with Wendy before I left. Thank you again Wendy for sharing your beautiful home with us

Getaway

Very nice property. Worked out well for my sisters and I to stay. It was cooler then we expected but still enjoyed the stay. Only used the pool a little since the weather. The only thing we had trouble with is every time we used the oven, the fire alarms would go off.
