Such a beautiful place to stay!!

I brought my Fiance and family down here to Tampa for our cousins wedding and we all had the best time staying here. The house is even bigger in person and the heated salt water pool was to die for.. we hardly left it when we were at the house. The neighborhood was VERY nice and quiet, but being able to park in the garage with the rental made it that much better!We were greeted with a very nice welcome letter, champagne, and chocolates. All the rooms had their own tvs and they had any appliance you may need there for us to use. Rick and Meme were great with communication and even gave us a ton of recommendations in their book and tips for travel around the area. If we're ever back in Tampa I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for everything yal!

Home Away From Home!

From the moment, my first message was sent to the property owner, I knew this was the place for my husband and I to celebrate Christmas in the Tampa area with friends. Rick was unbelievably responsive and accommodating. The home could not have been more comfortable. It truly felt like we were home for the week we were there. The house was clean, we slept like babies in comfortable bed and did not need anything. The house is extremely well stocked with all the things that you might need. This gem is tucked into a quiet neighborhood close to everything.The pool was a bonus addition to the great fenced in property.It’s in a great location, surrounded by fun things to do great restaurants and easy shopping. We had absolutely no issues with our weeklong stay and if we are in the Tampa area visiting our friends again, we would 100% stay at this location again.

Oasis in Florida

The home was perfect! The neighborhood was quiet. The backyard and pool area was relaxing. The natural habitat that borders the backyard was a bonus. The information Rick provided and the questions he answered for us made planning our week very easy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen definitely had everything we wanted to use and then some! It was also a perfect location for the drive to the Buccaneers game. I would stay again.

5 star Thanksgiving stay at Serenity Springs Nature Escape

Our family had the most incredible Thanksgiving at Serenity Springs Nature Escape! My husband and I traveled to Florida to be with family, and this home was absolutely perfect for our holiday gathering. Our nieces and nephew (6, 3, and 18 months) absolutely adored the house and the pool. It’s not always easy to find a space that’s truly kid-friendly, but this one delivered in every way—our cousin (their mom) even commented on how thoughtfully set up it was for little ones. I heard my two nieces ask if they could "stay here forever?" What a compliment! We cooked a full Thanksgiving feast, and the kitchen was wonderfully equipped with everything we needed. From the moment we walked in, the home felt so warm and inviting, like it had been waiting just for us. Cozy doesn’t even begin to describe it! And the backyard—oh, the backyard—is pure magic. The pool was the highlight of everyone’s trip, complete with plenty of pool toys, chairs, and games. It’s an ideal space for fun, relaxation, and creating lifelong memories. A huge thank-you to Rick for being such a wonderful host. Communication was seamless, and he made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he and his family genuinely care about making your stay special. We’ll treasure this trip forever and can’t wait to come back to Serenity Springs Nature Escape!

Comfortable and cozy home away from home

We were so thankful to come across this lovely welcoming home. The owners took so much effort in providing personal touches so that we would feel like we were at home. It made for an easy and relaxing stay. There were 5 adults in our party and there was planet of space for us all. The owner was easy to communicate with prior to and during our stay. Because there was no one checking in the next day they were gracious enough to allow for a late check out and then communicated challenges in area based on the impending hurricane. Highly recommend this location.

Pre-cruise stay

We spent three nights here before heading on a cruise, and it was just perfect! The little touches made this rental so special. We walked in to a special treat from the host, and it just got better from there. Most important to me was a supply of coffee! If we needed something, it was there. The house is beautiful and the pool area is like an oasis. Highly recommend!!

Incredible stay at Serenity Springs

Serenity Springs was our home away from home for our final spring break trip with our son before he graduates from high school. He wanted to mountain bike and charter fish and the Riverview location of Serenity Springs was the perfect distance to everywhere we wanted to be - Alafia River Trails, Balm Boyette Preserve, the Marina and the beach - my daughter's request (on break with her boyfriend from UW-Madison). The house was incredibly clean and the perfect size for the five of us. It had every amenity we desired including a well-stocked kitchen, garage to store our bikes, laundry, shampoo/conditioner in reusable bottles and an assortment of board games which came in handy for the few hours it rained one day. The solar heated pool was fantastic for relaxing in after our daily adventures and even my big kids enjoyed the squirt guns and floats provided. Rick put in the extra effort to make sure the pool temp was perfect for our arrival and the flowers in and around the lanai were in full bloom and absolutely lovely. I enjoyed the view of the preserve and checked regularly for birds/wildlife. Rick, Ruth and Meme were the most thoughtful hosts from before our visit even started right up to the moment we departed. They welcomed us like we were family. Rick was also very helpful when we had an issue with our vehicle. He made what could have been a very stressful situation quite easy to deal with. Serenity Springs was our best vacation rental yet! We highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Rick & Meme

Host profile image
We are a retired couple who have enjoyed travel from our home up north to warmer climates. Several years ago we spent 2 weeks in Hawaii where we enjoyed learning about the local culture. It was a very peaceful vacation which we can revisit anytime we are in a warm climate and hear that unique Hawaiian music. That inspired us to buy this property, our own piece of paradise, in September, 2021. Sitting by the heated pool next to the palm trees inside the screened area, with Hawaiian music from the speakers on the lanai drifting out to the pool area takes us right back to those peaceful Hawaiian vacation days.
We have spent the last year upgrading our home to provide all the things we looked for when we were staying in vacation properties. We stay here a few weeks every few months and try to leave it so that we only have to unpack our clothes and shop for the major meals after we arrive. We leave most of the kitchen spices, etc and trust our guests to simply replace things that they use up. We have family living nearby that helps us to keep things nice. We hope you find the peace and tranquility that we have found.

Why they chose this property

If you are seeking a peaceful relaxing time by your own very private heated pool or seeing local sights, we have the ideal location. We are within 30 minutes drive of some of Tampa area fun things to do or see, within an hour of the most popular tourist sights and beaches and sports arenas. Another 30 minutes and you can be in Disney world. or other similarly must see major tourist stops. All this and a wonder huge comfortable home to come back to at night.
