Home away from Home? Paradise in the Sun? Why not call it both! HEATED Pool !
For years, this house served as a favourite home-away-from-home for couples during the winter season and families during the summer season constantly earning top reviews for the last 9 years.
This home is the place you are looking for … when you need that break from work … when you crave some family time … when you just love to enjoy water, sun and beach … all that and so much more is what this home invites you to experience.
For a detailed description, I refer to the photos that can tell far more than I ever could. They tell the storey of relaxation, comfort and luxury that characterise this fabulous home and location. In addition, a brief descriptive outline is below.
This 4-bedroom house + 1 sunroom is just ½ hour (21 miles) away from Tampa International Airport and as close as 8 minutes (4 miles) to Florida’s most pristine beaches. Right next door, the famous Innisbrook Resort features 4 top rated Golf courses including the Copperhead course normally played every March for the annual PGA TOUR Championship.
The quiet area (last house in a cul-de-sac) surely guarantees peaceful evenings at the pool side, barbecuing on our gas grill and enjoying the warm Florida evenings outdoors protected by a covered porch. During the day, you’ll appreciate the shaded secluded pool area while sipping on your favourite drink and relaxing in the pool.
What about the beaches? Prepare to be amazed! Just 4.5 miles away, the great beach of Tarpon Springs Fred Howard Park awaits you. Other beaches nearby are Sunset Beach (4 miles), Honeymoon Island State Park Beaches (8.5 miles - great for shelling), Clearwater Beach (15 miles) and Sand Key Park Beach (16 miles).
Our beaches offer all of the water sports and activities you could want: Fishing Charters & Tours; Boat Tours; Dolphin & Whale Watching; Waterskiing & Jet Skiing; Surfing; Windsurfing & Kitesurfing; Parasailing & Paragliding; Scuba & Snorkelling … did I forget something? Maybe sign up for a Sponge Diving boat’s tour where you will see a sponge diver dressing up in an authentic suit used around 1900 when Tarpon Springs was called the “Sponge Capital of the World”. You can still smell and taste this unique charm of this Greek community while strolling the Sponge Docks of Tarpon Springs Marina.
Chartering a boat or catching a ferry allows you to explore some islands as well, among them the Anclote Key Preserve State Park featuring a light house and offering beaches, swimming and boating. The uninhabited natural Caladesi Island State Park offers beautiful beaches. Oh, by the way, anyone in the mood to start a sea shell collection with an original Florida Sand Dollar shell or Florida starfish shell?
Has your child ever seen the world famous Weeki Wachee Mermaids? It was a great experience for my granddaughter and is just 30 minutes north of here ... combine your fun trip with great boating and kayaking on the Weeki Wachee river.
Any other Florida natural attractions - such as visiting the Manatees in Crystal River and all world known attractions of Florida are only 1 – 4 hours away.
Back to your home away from home: For transparency, I like to advise that the rates initially displayed by this website are my base rates covering up to 6 guests (most typical request). Any additional guest (up to the maximum of 10 guests) is charged $15.00 per night due to higher wear and tear, cleaning and material and supply cost.
My house provides an open split floor plan with 1 master bedroom, 2 additional, 1 Studio (featuring office space and quality bunk bed for 2), 1 Sunroom (featuring a pull-out for the teens enjoying staying away from the main family area), 2 baths, kitchen, family room, living room, HEATED pool during the months of December thru April (upon request) in a large enclosed patio area with covered sitting area.
Located in Tarpon Springs, this holiday home is near theme parks and by the sea. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Tampa Bay and Clearwater Beach. Travelling with kids? Consider Tarpon Springs Performing Arts Center and Tarpon Springs Aquarium. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and cycling nearby. Visit our Tarpon Springs travel guide

Home was clean with lots of space to spread out for a larger families. Lots of kitchen space for cooking if needed. My family had lots of fun using the pool over our 3 day stay. Excellent communication by the host. Many good restaurants in the area. We hope to return for another stay in the future.
House was just as described, beautifully decorated, many extras in house. Nice, safe neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Host made it easy to check in and get in to the house. Everything was great!

Pretty good. Pool could use a little cleaning but it wasn’t unusable. Overall very good.
We were impressed as soon as we opened the front door. The house was beautiful, spacious, and great pool area in wonderful neighborhood .This house is super clean, and updated throughout. It has everything you could need, including dishes ,cooking supplies and games for all ages. The host and team communicated clearly and timely thru entire process… booking, checking in , during stay and check out! . A welcome message was sent prior to checking with clear instructions and details of the house which was super helpful. Thanks for your hospitality and we will definitely return in future!
The home was clean, quiet, and situated in a beautiful setting. The pool area was especially lovely — calm, relaxing, and a comforting spot for reflection. The house felt welcoming, and communication with the host was easy and appreciated. We would gladly stay again.Overall, we truly appreciated the hospitality and the sense of comfort the home provided during a tender and meaningful time for our family. Thank you for sharing your home with us. “The LORD bless you and keep you;The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;The LORD lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.”— Numbers 6:24–26
Thr property was exactly as pictured! Immaculately clean!
The house felt like "home"! Big enough to have personal space when needed!
It had games and pool toys which were perfect for our grandkids! Plenty of room for my sister and I to cook! Bedrooms were great size! VERY comfy beds!
We even met a few of the neighbors! They were very nice too!
Definitely will be enjoying this property again!

Tarpon Springs stay
Overall house was clean and the kitchen was great.The kitchen had everything we needed to prep and cook with.
The pool and pool area was fantastic and so was the grille.
The living area was very relaxing and comfortable.
The second bath toilet was constantly running could not get it to stop.
Both spare bedroom TVs would not work even with the cable or using smart settings for Netflix.
Overall a great stay for our group
What else to say. From the minute I opened the front door it felt like home. The list and pictures 100% accurate. Clean as whistle. Owners immediately responsive when called upon (only once did I need them). Great location in Tarpon Springs. Everything you might need for an extended stay less than a 5 minute drive away. Kudos 😊
Perfect house for my husband, myself, 2 adult kids and 2 spouses, as well as 2 one year olds.Heated pool was perfect! Space was more than we needed. Kitchen was very well appointed, and there were plenty of towels and bed linens.Our host, Michael, went to the trouble of getting us an extra crib for the second grandchild. We were graciously allowed an early check-in as well.Check-in was smooth, and Fran, the manager, was helpful in every way during our stay. Neighborhood was safe, and with very little traffic, as it was on a cul-de-sac.I highly recommend this property.
We had a wonderful stay! My husband, Father-n-law, and Pomsky were all very comfortable with plenty of space for everyone to relax both together and separately. The pool was immaculate and wonderful - and we loved the surrounding plants and trees in the yard! The covered outdoor area was a great place to hang out! We loved taking dog walks in the neighborhood; and we loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen. The bedrooms and baths were beautiful! Convenient Laundry and pool/ping pong in the garage! Communication with Michael and Fran was great… and when a major weather system moved in and wreaked havoc on our travel plans, Both Michael who was out of the country and local property helper Fran were quick to help us arrange an extra night’s stay. We were so grateful. The house was close to beautiful beaches such as Sunset Beach and Honeymoon Island, and there were great restaurants and shops nearby… amazing Italian, of course fabulous seafood, delicious breakfast places, and Greek bakery delights. It was a wonderful experience - and we would highly recommend this spacious and comfortable home away from home! Thank you so much!!!
The house was clean and inviting. Communication between host was quick and prompt. Location was great.If you are in the area, this house should definitely be on your list.
There were 5 beds but only 4 bedrooms. The home was outstanding for our purpose as it has 2 spacious, well furnished dens with the kitchen between them. Great entertaining space.
