ECLECTIC TROPICAL VIBES “It was a great, low key place to gather and bond” - Adam You’ll immediately feel on vacation when you enter this tropical gem. Alluring, stylish, and a little mysterious- 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 with a show stopping tile backsplash. There’s bar seating for 4 with an open floor plan connecting the living room, perfect for late night snacks and catching up.

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!
