Sea-sons Greetings!

KAYAK with the dolphins and manatees! Welcome to paradise and your own mini resort tropical oasis. Centrally located in the Tampa Bay Area, you are in the perfect location for all things Florida. Lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath canal front home is the perfect mix of fun and relaxation, decorated in a tropical coastal vibe. The home features separate living and dining areas and a family room with a fireplace. There are Roku TV's in the family room, two bedrooms and one on the lanai so you can watch the big game while floating in the HEATED pool! The fully equipped kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances and also overlooks the pool and out to the water. Or you can cook out on the gas grill. Out by the pool on the screened lanai are several more sitting areas, perfect for a morning cup of coffee or evening libations around the fire pit. You will also have plenty of options for "game night" as there is a pool table, corn hole, dart board, foosball and numerous board games.

While enjoying the sunshine, we have 4 kayaks for your use. 3 are single riders and 1 is a tandem style. There are pool floats a plenty. There are fishing poles and a basic tackle box if you want to try and catch dinner and if you fancy a bike ride down to the public beach, there are bikes in the garage along with beach chairs and some beach toys.

Want to bring your boat? We have a 10,000 lift and room to park your trailer. Currently the boat lift cover is gone from Hurricane Helene but we are going to replace.

VERY NICE, YET COMFORTABLE!!

Very clean first impression! Interior very well appointed & clean! House provided everything to enjoy the property as a vacation home, including pool, outdoor games, grill & canal access with kayaks! Enough room to spread out, but large spaces for gathering - the perfect combination for a fun week! Thanks, Barbara, for an amazing trip to the Apollo Beach/Tampa area!

Best Rental Property In Tampa Bay Area. It has everything you will ever need. Stop searching.

Excellent. Everything you could ask for plus 100x’s more. They thought of everything you would need. Even filled pool fridge with water. Who thinks of that? Barbara that’s who. Did I mention every remote, every light switch, every ceiling fan is all labeled. So accommodating, so courteous, so nice . I searched and searched a lot of places and last minute went with this property. Best decision I ever made. We took advantage of everything in the house and had a blast. Can’t wait to next rental.

Absolutely wonderful stay!

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It has everything you could possibly want for a weeklong stay. We spent four days enjoying the kayaks provided, and the other days going into Tampa since the property was so close to the city. Overall, this property was perfect and made our vacation the stress free adventure we wanted it to be.

Amazing Apollo Beach Vacation

This was our second time spending a month-long winter getaway at this property. Everything was just as promised and did not disappoint. The house is very comfortable and well-appointed (and lovingly decorated) with everything you could possibly need or want. Barbara and Dan are excellent hosts, and are quick to respond to any questions. The location in a quiet neighbourhood on the water is perfect, and the huge screened lanai and pool area is an amazing space. During our daily kayak outings we saw dolphins and manatees, and even had dolphins visit us at the dock a couple of times. Our family pup was made to feel welcome and loved the pool area and fenced backyard.

This was our first time renting a property in this area. No doubt that we will rent this home again. Barbara was very easy to communicate with and responded promptly when we had questions. The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. The home was very comfortable, spacious and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked if you wanted to cook meals. The outdoor area was very nice. Loved the screened in patio area with the pool. All sorts of activities for families to enjoy. The attention to detail to make our stay enjoyable was very much appreciated.

Nice pleasant stay

House was clean and exactly as presented. Super hot in August, even the pool was quite hot. We were centrally located between Tampa, Clearwater, Anna Maria, and Siesta Key. Expect to drive 45min-1hour to any of those places. Nice to have access to chairs and coolers to use on beach trips. Very good selection of restaurants and bars close by. Neighborhood is super quiet and nice.

Great Experience

The property was nice and clean. Great location to the bay for fishing and nice restaurants. The host (Barbara) was fantastic. We had a few issues not related to the property, just lack of experience (boat lift) and the heated pool so I messaged Barbara and she messaged me back within minutes. We had a great experience and will most likely be staying in this house again.
