Sunset Beach (2 miles away) and Fred Howard Park Beach is a 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.

About the owner: A twist of fate led us to spend our honeymoon in Tarpon Springs 30 years ago We loved the town and the people. We vacationed in Tarpon Springs many times throughout the years and were lucky enough to buy a home in one of the prettiest communities. Tarpon Springs has pretty bayous, parks and beaches and we find the people are very kindhearted. Our home is in a quiet residential area a little off the beaten path, but there are plenty of restaurants and stores with anything you need just a few miles away. We have had the same renters for the past eight years who love it, but couldn't make it this year.
Why this property? Our home is clean and well cared for. With the west coast being less crowded in general compared to the east coast of Florida, Tarpon Springs is less touristy than Clearwater and Siesta Key. Our neighborhood borders Fred Howard Park Beach on one side and is tucked away in a quiet residential setting. Our neighbors are friendly and the clubhouse is never crowded. You can truly relax at the pool or hot tub. But if you want to join an activity, you can sign up in the clubhouse. About a 4 mile drive will take you to everything you could ever need on US 19, with stores and restaurants in abundance. If you choose to stay more local and off the main highway, we still have everything you need; a fresh farm stand, fresh fish market, Walgreens, grocery, restaurants, hardware and liquor stores.

Perfect Florida Vacation Home
Have been renting in Point Alexis from Portia and Mike for several years (wonderful owners). Their home has all the amenities of a home away from home. The kitchen has everything you would need if you plan on cooking. The beds were very comfortable and the furnishings in good taste. The clubhouse, pool and hot tub are beautiful and the grounds were kept pristine. There are several beautiful beaches and parks to enjoy. Tarpon Springs has many good restaurants, shops and fun things to do while vacationing. The perfect winter getaway!
