Pet-Friendly Retreat with Heated Pool
Welcome to Bayside Retreat, a thoughtfully renovated Florida escape designed for comfort, connection, and relaxation. Tucked away in Apollo Beach, this single-level home offers the perfect balance of privacy and proximity—just minutes from the Manatee Viewing Center, Apollo Beach Park, and a short drive to Florida’s most beautiful Gulf beaches.
Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a work-from-anywhere stay, or a coastal recharge, Bayside Retreat invites you to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of Florida living.
A Private Outdoor Oasis
Step into your screened-in lanai, where indoor comfort meets outdoor relaxation. Spend your mornings lounging poolside, afternoons grilling on the gas BBQ, and evenings unwinding under the covered lanai after a swim in the heated pool (5` deep) —available year-round. The fully fenced backyard offers peace of mind for families and pets alike.
Designed for Comfort & Connection
Inside, the home is bright, open, and intentionally laid out with two separate living areas, making it easy for everyone to relax their own way.
• The main living room features plush seating and a welcoming atmosphere for conversation or quiet downtime. • The dedicated media room delivers a cinematic experience with a 75` flat-screen TV and surround sound, perfect for movie nights or game days.
The fully equipped kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts to home-cooked dinners, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Keurig and standard coffee maker. A spacious dining table comfortably seats six.
Restful Bedrooms & Thoughtful Details
The home sleeps up to six guests across three comfortable bedrooms:
• Primary Suite – King bed, flat-screen TV, private en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and bidet for added comfort. • Second Bedroom – Queen bed, flat-screen TV, and a dedicated workspace, ideal for remote work or study. • Third Bedroom – Queen bed with a flat-screen TV.
A second full bathroom with a tub-shower combination is conveniently located in the hallway.
Pet-Friendly & Practical
We welcome well-behaved pets, making Bayside Retreat a great choice for travelers who don’t want to leave their companions behind. The home also includes:
• Free high-speed 5G WiFi • In-unit washer & dryer • Beach gear for your coastal adventures • Ample parking with room for a small boat or RV
Seamless Stay Experience
Guests enjoy private access to the entire home with easy keyless entry. We respect your privacy while remaining readily available via messaging should you need anything during your stay.
For transparency and safety, the property is equipped with two exterior security cameras (front door and side of the home only). There are no cameras inside or facing the pool area.
Why Guests Love Bayside Retreat
• Heated private pool & screened lanai • Media room with immersive sound • Pet-friendly with fenced yard • Dedicated workspace for remote stays • Quiet neighborhood close to beaches, parks, and Tampa attractions
Bayside Retreat isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to settle in, unwind, and feel at home. We look forward to hosting you.
