Lakeside Studio • Pool + Gazebo + Fire Pit + Grill

Welcome to Lakeside Retreat’s Studio Suite: our ‘fire-themed’ escape with unforgettable Lake Seminole views! This ground floor studio 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. 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 #3, our downstairs fire-themed studio 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 studio includes: 1 King bed / 1 Bathroom 1 Parking stall Sleeps up to 2 SUNKISSED ELEGANCE “It was a great, low key place to gather and bond” - Adam Whether you’re a solo traveler or here with a special someone, this is the kind of waterfront property where you can feel free to birdwatch or fish off the seawall – then spend a cozy evening inside, enjoying the beautifully designed space. You’ll can’t help but feel on vacation when you stay in this surprisingly spacious studio. “There were a lot of thoughtful touches” - Jennifer To honor the element of fire, you’ll find enchanting light fixtures and smoldering colors throughout this unit. The french door entrance will take you right into the sleeping area–complete with a luscious King bed and electric fireplace that can be enjoyed with or without heat! We also provide state-of-the-art amenities like blazing fast Wifi, a Roku TV, as well as a Keurig coffee station to kickstart your mornings. And don’t let its size fool you! This studio’s kitchen is still fully equipped for your next culinary adventure. The nearby dining table for 2 has battery operated candles to set the mood for your next meal. 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..
