Spend your nights snuggling up by the fire pit or relaxing in the hammock in your backyard oasis. Centrally located, the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, and the beaches of Honeymoon Island are all less than 15 minutes away. Tampa Intl Airport is 30 minutes away.

Wonderful

We enjoyed the best stocked Vrbo we ever stayed in. Our host had thought of everything we could ever need and had it stocked from fishing gear, beach chairs, bug spray, plastic baggies, a whole coffee bar, and so much more. We loved the adorable house and the fun dock. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great Weekend Getaway!

Perfect house for a long weekend getaway for two couples! The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was very cute and well decorated to fit the Key West theme. The owners had thought of everything you could need. The well stocked coffee bar was a wonderful touch. The property and house were very well maintained and clean. Communication from the owners was great the whole time. We could not have asked for a better VRBO experience.

nice stay

Well equip kitchen, beds sleep great, and bedrooms are nice. Very good communication. Only downside was my wife bumped her head on the metal pipe shelf next to kitchen table when getting up from table. Lots of extras in garage, fishing poles and tackle, kayaks and more. Look forward to renting again next year during the Valspar Golf Tourament.

Fantastic stay in Palm Harbour

Our family stayed here for 9 nights and it was an excellent location for all of the activities that we did around Florida. Centrally located to most things we wanted to do and only 30 mins from the airport. The house was exactly as described and had plenty of room for our family. The outdoor area with a fire pit and dock to sit on were well used. We all kayaked and even caught some bass right from the dock! The garage was full of extras that helped make our stay even better. Fishing gear, lawn chairs and more. The owners were very helpful and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend if you want a quiet and peaceful home to relax in while in the area.

Nice home away from home

The house was perfect for my husband and I. We were in Florida for a graduation and the two bedrooms allowed our granddaughter to spend a couple of nights. Conveniently located to so many beaches, parks, restaurants, etc. The owners were great. Communication was easy, quick and clear. The kitchen was well stocked with spices. Plenty of fishing poles in the garage and the screened porch was like being at home for morning coffee. I highly recommend this location.

Key West at Palm Harbor

Had a great time at this charming property. The house was fully equipped and very clean. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is convenient to local attractions and shopping. The beaches at Clearwater and Dunedin are phenomenal. We especially liked hanging out in the yard along the canal. We hope to come back again. Bob and Carol

Beautiful Clean home located on a lovely canal off of Lake Tarpon. We enjoyed sipping coffee in the mornings, relaxing and just unwinding! We celebrated my 50th at the Tarpon Turtle just down the road! Great location to all stores and things to do. Many beautiful parks nearby too. We will return and spread the word on this adorable VRBO. Lorrie was a gem to correspond with and very kind! We had a wonderful time!

About the host

Hosted by Lorrie M Smith

Host profile image
We both grew up in New Jersey and one of our favorite things to do together is travel. We decided to buy a house in Palm Harbor because it's an area that we've been traveling to more frequently (Lorrie's mom moved down here 20 years ago). We got to know and love the area and knew this is where we want to ultimately be. Other things we love are skiing, hiking, eating, and golf (more Ron's game than Lorrie's). When we are in the Palm Harbor area, some of our favorite things to do are to watch sunsets on the Dunedin Causeway, go to the beach at Honeymoon Island, visit the area breweries, walk around downtown Tarpon Springs and the sponge docks, go to Phillies Spring Training games, go to the many festivals that Dunedin has, visit Tampa, and also just drive around and sightsee.

Why they chose this property

We tried to set our property up the way we like when we travel... it's a small property, but we hope that people find it as cozy and relaxing as we do. We like to hang out in the back yard and fish and relax. We also like exploring the lake by kayak.
