Lakefront Suite • Pool + Waterfront Gazebo + Grill

Welcome to Lakeside Retreat Suite #1: our ‘water-themed’ getaway with unforgettable Lake Seminole views! This ground floor 2 BR/ 1BA suite is 1 of the 4 rentable units in the Lakeside Retreat quadplex estate; where you can rent 1, 2, 3, or all of them! Newly renovated with modern design details, this is the perfect place to unwind and retreat into nature with friends and family. LAKE OR BEACH? Who says you have to choose! Our unique multi-unit building rests on a ⅓ acre right on Lake Seminole, while still being a quick drive to some of the country’s best Gulf Coast beaches: Indian Rocks Beach (6 miles), Madeira Beach (6.1 miles), & Clearwater Beach (10 mi miles). During your stay, be sure to take advantage of our SHARED pool and gazebo, which are private to this estate. With unparalleled Florida nature at our doorstep, we couldn’t resist drawing inspiration from Mother Nature herself. Each unit in the building is thoughtfully designed around one of the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, & Water). This listing focuses on Suite #1, our downstairs water-themed apartment. Please reach out if you are curious about staying in any of the other suites or renting the full Lakeside Retreat! This ground floor suite includes: 2 Bedrooms / 1 Bathroom King bed & Twin-XL over Queen bunk bed 1 Parking stall (additional off-site parking available) Private Amenities: in-unit laundry & back patio with hammock Sleeps up to 4 Whether you’re jumping into our refreshing pool, gazing out on the lake, strolling the nearby beaches, or grabbing your fishing pole and boating with friends—there’s no doubt that in Florida, the WATER is the place to be! To honor the element of water, you’ll find swooping waves and endless shades of blue throughout this unit. And it wouldn’t be Florida without a few hidden manatee and alligator details! REFRESHING TAKE ON COASTAL “It was a great, low key place to gather and bond” - Adam You’ll immediately feel on vacation when you enter this playful Floridian apartment. Light, bright, and refreshingly stylish - this is the kind of waterfront property where you feel free to birdwatch or fish off the seawall – then spend a cozy evening inside, enjoying the beautifully designed space. “There were a lot of thoughtful touches” - Jennifer We provide state-of-the-art amenities like Roku TVs and blazing fast Wifi, in-unit laundry, as well as a Keurig coffee station to kickstart your mornings. Entertain and prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen. There’s bar seating for 4 with an open floor plan connecting the living room. Afterwards, you can lounge on the back patio or laze in the hammock. Since this unit’s parking is in the back, the convenient back entrance will take you right into the bunk room. The Twin XL over Queen bunk bed provides a functional sleeping arrangement for a wide variety of groups. Immediately connected to the bunk room is the cozy King bedroom. There you’ll find a spacious walk-in closet that provides ample space for all guests to unpack and features a washer and dryer for your convenience. SHARED OUTDOOR AMENITIES “Such a peaceful place to stay! I loved being surrounded by nature” - Jessica The outdoor space is really the key to why you’ll love this place! In the backyard we have a BBQ grill, a fire pit, a large pool, a shaded picnic area, and a raised gazebo - right on beautiful Lake Seminole! The gazebo offers picturesque views of the lake and the entire backyard, perfect for cool drinks and catching up - while keeping an eye on the smaller vacationers enjoying the pool. Beside the gazebo there’s a lovely picnic area under the shade of a large banyan tree where you can watch the boats drift by. At the other edge, you’ll find the fire pit. Bring some firewood and s’mores to fully utilize this spot, or enjoy it as it is under the tall palm trees. RECOMMENDATIONS Looking for a beach day? Just head west! We are centrally located to many beaches, including Madeira Beach. We recommend starting the day at Sweet Brewnette with a delicious specialty coffee and breakfast before soaking up the sun with your toes in the sand. Later, you can head Caddy’s or John’s Pass for that quintessential Florida vacation vibe. John’s Pass offers a wide variety of excursions such as dolphin tours and jet ski rentals! Looking for something more off-the-beaten path? We highly recommend a guided kayak tour of Shell Key. This was awarded one of TripAdvisor's 2022 Best of the Best experiences IN. THE. WORLD..
