Seaside Oasis ~ Waterfront, Dog-Friendly, Saltwater Pool & Spa, Private Dock

Your Private Waterfront Florida Escape

NEWLY REMODELED POOL AREA — 2025!

Imagine starting your morning with coffee overlooking the canal, spending the afternoon swimming in your private pool or kayaking toward Tampa Bay, and ending the day watching a beautiful Florida sunset from your screened-in lanai.

Welcome to your own spacious waterfront getaway!

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom canal-front home is designed for families, friends, and four-legged family members looking to relax, have fun, and enjoy everything Florida has to offer. Located on a peaceful canal with direct access toward Tampa Bay, the home offers a wonderful combination of a private pool, spa, dock, kayaks, fenced yard, and comfortable indoor living spaces.

PRIVATE POOL, SPA & OUTDOOR LIVING

The pool area was newly remodeled in 2025, giving you a beautiful space to relax and enjoy the Florida sunshine.

Spend the day swimming, lounging by the pool, or relaxing in the spa controlled by your own on/off panel, while the kids enjoy the water. The entire pool and patio area is enclosed by a screened lanai, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

Spa heating is included. Please reach out to inquire about pool heating.

The lanai opens toward the backyard and waterfront, creating an easy flow between the pool, yard, and dock.

And don't forget the sunsets! Grab a drink, settle into a comfortable chair, and watch the sky change colors over the water as another beautiful Florida day comes to an end.

KAYAK, FISH & EXPLORE

The canal behind the home leads toward Tampa Bay, giving you the opportunity to experience Florida from the water.

Complimentary kayaks are available for guests who want to explore the canal and enjoy the peaceful waterfront surroundings. You can also fish from the private dock or simply sit by the water and watch for local wildlife.

Keep your eyes open—you may even be lucky enough to see a dolphin or manatee passing through the canal!

A small vessel may also be tied to the dock. Please contact the owner regarding the maximum permitted vessel length.

COMFORTABLE, SPACIOUS & FAMILY-FRIENDLY

With three comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for the whole family.

One bathroom is conveniently connected to the primary bedroom, while the other serves the additional bedrooms and common areas.

Several rooms have direct access to the pool and patio area, including:

The primary bedroom
One additional bedroom
The kitchen
Dining area

This makes it easy to move between the indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day.

The spacious living room provides a comfortable place to relax after a day in the pool or on the water, watch TV or play board games, or play the piano. Gather everyone together for a family movie night on the large Smart TV, or simply enjoy some downtime in the air-conditioned living space.

FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN

The kitchen is fully stocked and equipped with **new stainless-steel appliances, making it easy to prepare anything from a quick breakfast before heading to the beach to a family dinner enjoyed together at home.

With two dining areas, there is plenty of space for everyone to sit down and enjoy a meal together.

Of course, you're also welcome to take your meals outside and enjoy them overlooking the canal.

BRING YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS

Your four-legged family members are welcome too!

The property includes a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. There is also a doggy door from the screened lanai to the backyard, giving your pets easy access to the outdoor space while you enjoy the pool and patio.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Whether your ideal vacation means relaxing poolside with a book, kayaking down the canal, fishing from the dock, swimming with the kids, watching a sunset, or exploring nearby beaches and attractions, this home gives you plenty of ways to enjoy your Florida getaway.

For families with children, there is no shortage of things to do without even leaving the house:

Swim and play in the private pool
Explore the canal by kayak
Try your luck fishing from the dock
Play in the fenced backyard
Have a family movie night
Watch the sunset over the water
Look for dolphins and manatees
Walk 8 min to Apollo Beach Park and recreation center with sports courts, splash pads, skate park, and dog park

CLOSE TO BEACHES & TAMPA BAY AREA ATTRACTIONS

When you're ready to leave your private waterfront retreat, you'll find plenty to explore nearby.

The home is approximately:

15–30 minutes from several beautiful beaches
Close to supermarkets and everyday conveniences
35 minutes from Busch Gardens
Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes from Disney

Spend a morning at the beach, return home for an afternoon in the pool, and finish the day with dinner overlooking the canal. Or spend the entire day enjoying the home and waterfront—you decide!

YOUR FLORIDA VACATION, YOUR WAY

One of the best things about this home is that you don't have to choose between a relaxing vacation and an active one.

You can spend the morning kayaking, the afternoon floating in the pool, and the evening watching the sunset.

Or sleep in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, spend the day by the pool, and have a family movie night.

There is space to be together and space to unwind.

Come enjoy the sunshine, the water, the pool, and the laid-back Florida lifestyle from your own private waterfront home.

The place was clean. We had one question about the spa and the host responded within 60 minutes. It has everything you need. It is in a quiet neighborhood which is nice. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities which is nice and not nice. I would recommend bringing some bug repellant. The nooseums were rampant.

The neighborhood, the pool area, living area, we’re all positive. could’ve been a little bit more attention paid to the cleanliness of the pots and pans, several handles were missing off dressers, loose table chair, legs. Some of the areas of the house needed a little bit more TLC but overall, we definitely enjoyed our stay and the communication with the property owner was very good.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness
I want to start by saying the host Shir was great with communicating. The issues that did arise were overall cleanliness. The master bed shower still had some hair from previous guests, there was a bit of dust accumulation on some surfaces, the pool and hot tub were very dirty inside and around the pool, and there was black mold. As someone who works in a cleaning business it seems there was a lot of just surface cleaning. There is A LOT of black mold under the kitchen sink, and there is some in the corners of the master bath shower. The pool had no filter and had so many bugs/insects in it, communication with the host was no problem and we were told the pool guy was going to go clean it but he never showed. Also there are no paper towels or napkins so make sure to purchase some for your trip. Overall it’s a good home to stay at aside from those issues.

Perfect Retreat on the Canals You and your dogs will love

Easily one of the best properties I’ve stayed at for a short term rental. The owner was extremely communicative prior to check in and while the hot tub was left in service mode when we got there, the pool guy came to fix it within an hour of sending a message to the host. The house itself was impressively stocked with everything we needed for the week. We will definitely be back.
