About the owner: We live in South Dakota but wanted to purchase a home in Florida to have for a winter get-away in the cold winter months. We decided about 6 years ago to share our home with others who may want to enjoy the comforts and space of a home while on vacation.
My husband and I grew up in Mpls. MN. He was the track and cross country coach at SDSU for 25 years, I enjoyed a home based cosmetic business. We have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren who love to come visit us while we are at our Florida home.
Why this property? We purchased this home because we wanted a home that was on the water, had a pool, and a home large enough to have our children and grandchildren all come visit at the same time. We love the open bright floor plan, the beautiful private backyard and private pool, and the quiet island neighborhood. It is close enough to get to all the Disney theme parks and Busch Gardens as well as beautiful big beaches, or our own private local beaches.

Nice place!
We had a nice stay at this Tarpon Springs home. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 children - definitely a better option than a hotel. Owners worked with us on our dates, which we appreciated. Had an issue with the pool, but the owners were very responsive. Thanks for sharing your home!
