About this property
Tropical Gorgeous Beach Town Private HEATed Pool & Tiki Lanai Close to Beaches!
Vacation in your own PRIVATE home & tropical paradise either for an intimate couples getaway or with the whole family in your own private home/yard/HEATED pool (upon request) & only minutes to several popular beaches. The location of the home is literally central to anywhere you want to go… Clearwater is to the north, St Petersburg is to the south, Tampa is to the east & you’re centrally located to ALL of the best beaches! The Property has all the comforts of home while on vacation.
Avoid the crowds, the noise of crowded hotels & busy beach traffic...you'll enjoy this private, charming, beachy escape in this 2-story home. Located minutes to ALL beaches, popular shopping, dining, nightlife, sporting events & site seeing the Tampa Bay area has to explore.
Start your day enjoying the back yard in the morning or in your screened Tiki Florida Room & having your favorite cup of coffee, tea or Bloody Mary while watching & listening to a the birds & squirrels wake up. The Tiki Lanai has a large comfortable seating area with bar top, Smart flat screen TV and a large table to eat breakfast, lunch & dinner at.
Then head out to the lovey tropical, private backyard & pool where you can spend every day sunning on the lounge chairs or under the coolness of oak trees while listening to your favorite music from your phone on the Wifi/Bluetooth speakers around the pool. Set up the cornhole in the yard & fill up the pool floats then fire up the gas grill when you get hungry. When the sun goes down, light up the gas fire pit, watch the stars come out & enjoy with your favorite cocktail while chatting about your day, planning your next day & enjoying the relaxing evening breeze. There is also a neighborhood park 3 blocks away with NEW PICKLEBALL, wall ball & basketball courts & a playground for the kids.
Looking for more together time? Afterward, head inside to the enclosed Tiki Room (no Florida mosquitos!!) or in the cozy living room, both rooms with Smart/streaming TVs to watch a movie & eat popcorn, play cards or bust out a board game for fun.
To note, this is my & Levi (my dog's) personal home part of the year so you may see 1 or 2 personal decor/items around the house (& the home is so clean you won't even know a dog stays there from time to time!). Also, per VRBO's policy, this is to note the property has 3 security cameras on site (front of garage, doorbell & overview of back yard). To note, there are no cameras inside the home.

About the host
Hosted by Laurie
One of the owners was born & raised in the same beach town as the home (officially born in St. Pete Beach) and is also a realtor & insurance agent. We LOVE to host our home as it is our pride & joy, especially the back yard tropical Oasis! We can also help answer most anything you want to know about the area as we are also very active in it & the community. Should you be interested in possibly investing in your retirement home or investment property, I can help you with that too!
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood as it is a very family oriented community & we raised our children here. There is a great park just a few blocks from the home and it is also very centrally located to everything you would want to be near!
What makes this property unique
We've made our home YOUR "home away from home" so it not only has most everything you need but it provides warmth & coziness that most other short term rental properties don't. But what goes without saying that if you've already seen the photos is the back yard is truly an Oasis! We can't tell you just how much our guests said they prefer to play there than at the beach. We hope you will stay & tell us your experience as well!
