A mile from the beach in a private home! Yes, please!

This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom one level - split floor plan home which makes living easy! Sleeps 6 with the master on one side and 2 other bedrooms on the other side of the home. A large living room with cathedral ceilings is open to the kitchen and dining areas. We are located in the award-winning neighborhood of Pointe Alexis, (Tarpon Springs). Renters are welcome to be a part of our resort-like clubhouse with an amazing pool, hot tub, work-out room, basketball, tennis, pickle-ball, billiard room, ping pong, library & shuffleboard. The clubhouse has many activities like tai chi, pool aerobics, yoga, pot luck dinners & golf outings. Just check out the bulletin board for activities & to sign up. With all that you might be scared thinking this is a very crowded clubhouse and I can assure you it is not. The clubhouse, pool, hot tub and gym are not crowded like you might imagine and relaxing at the pool is wonderful! I can say most days no one else is there, and I have never counted more than 10 people in attendance. Please note, we require a 70 night minimum stay.

Two beaches are very close by with Sunset Beach only 2 miles away and Fred Howard Park Beach one mile away. Bike there, or go for a free concert, both are great places and offer different activities like sunbathing, picnicking, fishing or rent a paddle board or kayak. Honeymoon Island is a 15 minute drive south on Alt 19 and Clearwater Beach is 18 miles away.

There's plenty to do in Tarpon Springs with every store you can think of but our home is tucked out to the west coast edge of town in a quiet rural neighborhood. Past renters have had fun joining our neighbors on activities set up by our club house organizers.
