About this property

Blue Bayou - Charming home with heated pool, tiki and OPTIONAL BOAT DOCKAGE

Old and new Florida charm coexist for a relaxing and comfortable stay in this clean, charming, newly renovated home tucked in a treasure location between all that is tropical, beach, and water. Our location is unique in that you do not have the expense of staying directly on the water yet have access to a dock (just steps from the property) for boat dockage, fishing or watching the manatees. There is a neighborhood bridge with a 84” clearance at king high tide.

Coming with boats and trailers? Not a problem. Thanks to the exuberant amount of parking on this property, you can arrive and unload your gear, trailer the boat to the boat ramp 2 blocks away, park the trailer back at your doorstep, and dock the boat steps from your temporary abode. Being a boating family, one of our greatest goals was to make access to the water as easy and cost efficient as possible.

The prize of this home is the backyard oasis. The myriad of sunny days, 249 per year, is the inspiration for this tropical getaway within a getaway. Beginning with the refreshing saltwater pool (heated for an additional fee) and ending with the stately 390 square foot tiki hut with ambient lighting, the in-betweens will delight also such as the propane firepit for cool evenings, the outside shower for a convenient rinse (especially after a salty day on the water), the convenient outside-access half bath, and spacious turf for cornhole and other game-playing. This oasis will continue to pull you outdoors for entertaining and relaxing with a grill and grill tools for preparing your catch of the day, a full-size fridge for easy access to libations and snacks, a teak table for dining for 8, and lounge seating and a large TV under the tiki.

Please help us be respectful to the residents of this wonderful community by honoring a quiet time after 10pm.

DISCLAIMER - PLEASE BE AWARE THIS HOME IS NOT WATERFRONT BUT DOES HAVE ACCESS TO A DOCK ACROSS THE STREET. THE HOME IS LOCATED CLOSE TO BUT NOT IN HARBOUR HILLS. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH VRBO TRYING TO CORRECT THSES INACCURACIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Vacation Paradise!
Spectacular! Hands down the best VRBO we have ever rented. Such a charming, clean and comfy beach styled house. The owners did such a great job making us feel right at home. The interior of the home was amazing but the backyard was even better. From the pool to the tiki and all the backyard activities… I’m not sure you could find a better backyard to relax and play in. Not only was the house amazing but the location was perfect for anyone looking to be close to the beach, AMI, restaurants, grocery stores and so much more. We will definitely rent this again for our family getaway! 10/10!

Perfect Stay!
We booked a bit last minute and found this amazing gem. Our party included four adults and one child. This home has delightful decor and perfect spaces for everyone including an amazing backyard. It truly felt like our own little resort. The location is fantastic for fishermen, runners, and viewing wildlife (manatee-near the dock and boat launch about .5 miles away). We went to the beach a couple of times which was about six miles (Holmes Beach) and Siesta Key (further south). My son fished off the dock and boat launch. He caught a 27" snook at the boat launch. We also visited DeSoto National Memorial which is worth a visit. Thanks to the hosts for providing everything we needed to make memories!

Wonderful week!
You will not want to leave this backyard. Our family loved the tiki hut with the tv, the pool, the fire pit, and the huge turf yard. The coolest looking tree in the backyard is an awesome backdrop for pictures. You will love your stay here!
