Classic Florida ranch, waterfront, heated pool & kayaks - no hurricane damage

Escape to our stunning, completely renovated classic Florida ranch home, where sunshine and relaxation await! Perfect for families or small groups of friends, this bright and airy retreat boasts an open floor plan, a gourmet kitchen, and elegant furnishings, all enhanced by luxurious amenities. Rest easy knowing this property has no hurricane damage from Helene or Milton in 2024!

The highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the resort-style heated pool (heating available for a small fee), surrounded by a spacious travertine patio and beautifully designed landscaping. With your own private dock, you’ll have easy access to the tranquil waters of Tampa Bay, ideal for fishing or kayaking right from your backyard.

Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, this home is just a quick drive to downtown St. Pete and the stunning Gulf beaches. Whether you prefer lounging by the pool with a book, splashing with the kids, or exploring local cultural events, you’ll find the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure here.

Designed for comfort, the house features modern amenities like voice-activated smart home features, high-speed fiber optic Wi-Fi, and a spacious living area. The primary bedroom offers a king-size bed, an attached bath with a walk-in shower, and a sitting room with views of the pool and canal. Two additional guest rooms provide flexibility with twin beds that can be combined into kings, sharing a hall bath.

The outdoor living space is truly special, with a covered patio and a pool bath for quick clean-ups. Relax under the shade, enjoy the water views, and watch for dolphins and manatees right off your dock. You’ll also find a charcoal grill and ample seating for dining al fresco.

We’ve equipped the home with plenty of games, puzzles, and movies for endless fun, along with kayaks available for rent. The kitchen is stocked with spices and staples to help you avoid those last-minute grocery runs.

Families with young children are welcome! We provide a pack-and-play and feeding seat. However, please note that there is no gate between the house and pool, nor a barrier to the dock, so children must be supervised at all times. We kindly ask parents to clean up after their kids to keep the space pest-free.

We recently updated decor and flooring throughout, enhancing your experience. While we await new professional photos, you may notice slight decor changes from the images.

This property has been one of the most relaxing places that I've stayed in a long time. Only minutes from anything that you could possibly want to do in St Pete and then when you get back to the house its just a feeling of serenity. The pool is an awesome feature for anyone with older kids and all of the amenities made for even more convenience.

The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Having a swimming pool outside the back door was a real treat and we used it every day. We also enjoyed kayaking to the bay and paddling around. It was nice to just launch from the backyard dock. The beaches are a little bit of a drive from the house, but really not bad at all.

Great Property, "Evolving" Neighborhood

This is a tricky one. It's great property, accurately depicted in the listing. with communicative hosts. Pros are a nice pool, nice interior of the home with most things you need in the kitchen. Cons are a pretty sketchy neighborhood just a handful of blocks away. All exterior spaces of the home are covered by security cameras. I used Waze to find a nearby liquor store to buy some wine and I arrived at a store with bars on the windows and all their bottles secured behind plexiglass. I imagine real estate listings say, "Up and coming neighborhood," and I bet they've said this for years. So, I'm ok with this location; I'd happily stay here again, but I wouldn't bike around at night and I recognize that some family and friends would not be happy or feel safe.

Relaxing getaway to St. Pete

We had a great time with our family in St. Pete. Amy’s home is wonderful. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax for the 6 of us, and a very quiet neighborhood. We cooked some at the house and enjoyed some great restaurants close by. The pool was warm and clean. We watched fish and birds in the inlet as well as a manatee! We borrowed beach chairs which were great since we had flown in and couldn’t pack all the comforts from home. Amy was great to communicate with us at anytime we had questions by text and phone call, and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Great place to enjoy Florida’s gulf coast!

Nice peaceful place for a family stay

Had a group of three adult couples for a four day stay. Check in is at 4. It’s a “Nick Saban” check in. It’s at 4. Property is very nice. Clean. There are remotes for all the lights and fans which was odd and confusing for older guests but okay in the long run. Pool was very nice. Initial reading of listing didn’t make it seem that you had to pay extra for the kayaks (not that we would’ve used them but a heads up). Everything was in good condition. Clean. The driveway was hard on the rental minivan. I would use again.

Great experience

House was great, but the giant sign at the entrance of the neighborhood telling people to lock their doors at night was a bit unnerving. 5 stars across the board if the home was in a safer community.

Peaceful stay in St. Petes

We very much enjoyed our stay. The manatees were a highlight for our family. I could have sat on the dock all day watching them. We were lucky they were there. The house was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the proximity to St. Petes as we attened an event at Vinroy Park. Lots to do downtown. We also enjoyed the Chattaway for lunch and Southside Coffee for breakfast and delicious espresso. Amy was very responsive and the home was beautiful. I love the beachy feel. Thank you!

The pool is AMAZING! It’s about a 20 minute drive to pass a grill. My son was bummed about so much seaweed in the canal but nothing that would of been done about that. He was hoping to fish more. Property managers were quick to respond to any issues we had.

Family Getaway

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful home for 5 nights. It was more than large enough to accommodate our group of four adults and two older kids with lots of seating and relaxation options. The pool and dock were amazing and the setting serene, tucked into a quiet neighborhood with close access to restaurants and entertainment. House was clean and nicely decorated and Amy was a welcoming host. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect family vacation

Our family truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely FL home. Amy was a gracious and very responsive host, emailing to make sure we were settled and happy. Our children loved the heated pool, fishing from the dock and the dolphin who visited the canal. We could not have asked for a better "home away from home"! Highly recommend and definitely hope to stay again next winter.
