About this property

Private Tropical Estate: 7,400 sq ft, 5 BR, 6 Baths, tennis court, beaches close

Mediterranean-style tropical estate with extensive amenities on more than 3 acres of gated and landscaped grounds at the end of a private cul-de-sac. Elegantly furnished but comfortable and welcoming with 7,400 sq. ft. (690 sq. m) of living area, including 5 bedrooms--2 with their own balconies--6 full baths, movie theater, 2 full wet bars, separate guest house, large saltwater pool/spa and tennis court with night lights. Serene, spacious, quiet and very private. All within 30 minutes of both Tampa International and Clearwater St. Pete airports. 15 minutes to one of the best beaches in the United States, Honeymoon Island, as well as ferries to two of the few completely natural islands along the Gulf Coast, Caledesi Island and Anclote Key. Ideal for people who love the beach or sports but not the crowds, those who want to enjoy nature with attractions and amenities nearby or those who seek peace and relaxation. Rarely does a property with this combination of quality, privacy, amenities and location become available for vacation rental in the Florida market.

First class all the way, a rare gem
This was our second stay and once again it was extremely hard to leave. Mark and Alison have successfully made every effort to make this feel more like a home than a rental. We have been renting vacation homes for over 30 years and this estate is head and shoulders above any others that we have stayed in. The pictures and description don't do it justice. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful estate
This was the second year for us to vacation at this property, and the facilities and grounds were in first-class condition. Everything is as described in the listing. The large pool was the centerpiece for us, and we also made good use of the tennis and pickle ball courts. The home heating and cooling is preset and changing the settings requires contacting the owner. Only when the temperature was mild was this an inconvenience because there was no meaningful circulation and humidity control inside. When temps reached the 80s, the system was fine. Otherwise, this was resort living at its best and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for first-class vacation accommodations.

Like our own private resort!
We have stayed at many rentals over the past 30 years. This one by far is head and shoulders above the rest and in a class of it's own. The check-in/orientation by Kasey was excellent. The kitchen was the most well stocked and equipped we have yet seen. The incredible pool and outdoor areas are huge with space enough for everyone. One of our favorite features was the theater/game room which is stocked with tons of DVDs and the most comfortable seating you could ask for. My wife played the grand piano almost every day. We wanted to utilize the tennis courts but time just didn't allow this trip. Bicycles, games, puzzles, books, air hockey, ping-pong, fishing gear, etc. Eagles and flamingos were seen daily and we even got a glimpse of the resident gopher tortoise that lives on the property. Kasey and Mark were absolutely great to work. We are already looking forward to our next visit as we have booked it for next year. Thanks again to Mark and Allison for sharing your beautiful home!

Superlative property
The property exceeded our expectations in all areas. It is better than the photos would suggest. First, the management provided detailed operating instructions, highlighted by an introductory tour by one of their representatives. Together with the written instructions, we were able to take full advantage of the many amenities: TVs, theatre, hot tub, tennis courts, etc. The house is beautifully appointed and is as big and unique as described. The pool is the largest I've seen at a private residence, and the entire property is spectacularly maintained. Additionally, this house is fully furnished, unlike most rental properties. It has everything one needs to enjoy weeks of vacation pleasure. We were even treated to a professional golf event at the resort next door during our stay: the Valspar Championship. I highly recommend this vacation spot for larger groups who are willing to treat it as their home away from home,
