A Little Slice of Key West on Lake Tarpon - Kayak and fish from the back yard

Fish for your dream bass right from the back yard of this Lake Tarpon canal-front cottage. Bring your own boat/jet ski or use our kayaks to explore Lake Tarpon, which is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing. 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.

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.

It's a cozy home away from home

The owner prepared everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing was that the kitchen countertop was not super clean and there was some spill not cleaned in the fridge.

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

Relaxing at its finest!

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!

A Slice of Heaven!

My husband and I couldn't have had a better time. The owners, Lorrie and Ron, were absolutely phenomenal to work with. The home had a very tasteful Key West theme-so colorful and a happy place to live in for a week. The canal in the back was so nice-saw an occasional friendly alligator swimming by keeping his/her and our distance. The availability of kayaks was very nice, and we could navigate to Lake Tarpon by way of the Kayaks if desired. If you stay there, you'll be glad you did. The owners obviously take great pride in their Vrbo investment! Thank you Lorrie and Ron!

Absolutely superb home and hosts

If we could give 10 stars we would. From start to finish this was a fantastic stay in a very clean and well equipped home. It had everything we needed and more. It was spotlessly clean and the hosts went the extra mile by supplying an endless amount off tea and coffee, oils and syrups and even washing machine and dish washer supplies. We ran out of fire pit propane and was immediately resupplied after notify Lorrie & Ron, they bent over backwards to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We even had some special visitors while there including turtles, and 2 gators they swam right by us in the canal, what a treat. We thoroughly recommend this beautiful vacation home, we will definitely return again soon 👍😁

Great vacation

The house had everything you needed including spices for cooking. We arrived in Tampa at 9am and our flight out wasn’t until 4 pm. Lorrie and Ron allowed us to check in early and check out late which was a true blessing. It’s the little things in life. We seen an alligator swim by in the canal which was very cool. We were a couple of miles to Tarpon Springs and Dunedin. We explored both towns and enjoyed the central location of the house. I took several walks through the neighborhood and the neighbors were friendly. We would definitely recommend this house and location. Renae M.

Heaven sent Respite Canal Side

We found the home to be stylistically eclectic, fun, and so very comfortable, with nearly every need made available. There were tons of linens and towels, extra fleece throws for cuddling into on chilly evenings, even sun screen and insect repellent if you forgot yours!!!. The availability to use the fishing equipment and kayaks from dockside or while adventuring out on Tarpon Lake was wonderful. Early mornings and late afternoons we could see the fish jumping in the canal. Our children and granddaughter came to visit and really enjoyed these amenities. The kitchen is fairly well appointed, with many spices, basic oils, flour, sugar, plastic wrap, storage bags, and foils provided. Additionally, there was a good selection of bake-ware, colanders, lidded pots and pans, knives and an assortment of kitchen utensils. The few items missing, we purchased and gifted to the home as so much had been offered to us graciously. We cooked and baked many fresh fish dinners and meals in that kitchen comfortably. We highly recommend grouper and red snapper from the fresh caught seafood market in Tarpon Springs, only 12-15 minutes away. So Yummy... I accidently left some personally items behind and the hosts are kindly shipping them back to me! Wow!! Thank you, Ron and Lorrie!! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Perhaps for a longer time as the region has so much to explore. It was a true gift to have such thoughtful consideration from our hosts.

Well Appointed Lake House

This property is a great value. It is conveniently located in a safe and quiet neighborhood and the backyard of the house is on a canal on Lake Tarpon. The house is very homey, unlike most other tentals. It has two large bedrooms with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The TV room is great with a comfortable couch set and the kitchen is well appointed with everything you might need for cooking purposes, including numerous spices and olive oil. The house also includes an excellent coffee/tea preparation area, with more coffee and tea than you'll be able to drink during your stay. The real bonus of this place is that it includes a tandem kayak and two single-seat kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, and all the accompanying fishing gear you will need to explore and fish the lake. There is also an excellent washer and dryer and detergent is included. I have rented many houses during my national travels, and this home was the best I have experienced, particularly for the price point. Finally, the hosts are very responsive and accommodating, permitting my group a late check out. Enjoy your stay at the lake!
