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

House was great! Plenty of space. Pool was sparkling clean. Beds are comfortable. Definitely family friendly. Quiet and safe neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay.
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.
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.
Nice house, good location. We saw manatees and dolphins swimming in the canal daily. Not a bad drive to the beach, fishing piers, etc. Would definitely stay again!
Everything was exactly as described. Communication with property host was top notch. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. The pool was wonderful and in top working order. Location was great to Tampa/ Sarasota/St. Pete.
Perfect vacation home in Tampa - Spacious, supplied everything we needed and more! From pool floaties, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing rods/ lures, soaps, wine! And our own private dock which we were luck to catch 4 different types of fish! The location was central to many of our excursions and our family had a wonderful time. Thanks again for hosting
We stayed at this property over the week of Thanksgiving and we loved it. Our children loved the pool! Everyone loved the hot tub. The house met our needs and we would recommend this home to others.
Owner very responsive
Quiet neighborhood
Roomy accommodations
Very touched by the extras… chocolates & bottle of wine welcoming our arrival.
Thank you so much for the memories made!
We wanted somewhere we could stay with our little kids and just cozy in for some family time coming in from different parts of the country. Felt sooo good to have many activities right from the comfort of this home. Very happy with our stay and would stay again.
This property was even better in person than what we expected from the pictures. The host was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend you visit this one!
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.
The house is well-kept. Our family had an excellent vacation here. Very clean throughout. Air conditioning worked well in all rooms. Pool and spa were extremely enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed restful sleep in the beds. We cooked nearly every night. The location is very convenient to shopping and highways.
