About this property
Waterfront Views 1 mile to Fort DeSoto & St Pete Beach! Fabulous Area, Low Rates
Expansive waterfront views from our 1st floor Condo (easy access for bringing in groceries and parking at the door) and an oversized lanai overlooking the pool and bay. Max Four (4) Registered Guests (all guests must be registered). For returning guests, we offer a travel loyalty program. Wander Residences is a beautiful complex on quiet Tierra Verde island. We are a mile from St Pete or Fort DeSoto Beaches. Both highly rated beaches each with different vibes. St. Pete Beach is lined with hotels and bars while Fort DeSoto is a quiet sanctuary for wildlife and lush landscape with lagoons, picnic benches and shelters. Rated #1 for families by Dr. Beach. Our place is great for families and couples. Our beaches boast white powder-soft, cool to touch sand and emerald green water. Our super clean, quiet condo with blazing fast wifi is 1 mile north of Fort DeSoto Beach and 1 mile south of St. Pete Beach. We are a keyless self-check-in condo with an oversized lanai that overlooks the heated & cooled pool and Gulf of Mexico. Tierra Verde is the gateway to world-famous Fort DeSoto Park and its pristine beach trails, historic fort and celebrated for its waterfront views, boating, and fishing community along with great local restaurants. Our complex offers tennis, pickleball, kayaking (bring yours or rent them at Fort DeSoto), swimming, hot tub, fitness room, billiards in the clubhouse, or just relaxing at the pool or on St. Pete Beach or Fort DeSoto a mile away. St. Pete is a top destination for beach lovers and offers diverse, eclectic activities. Downtown St. Petersburg has been recently recognized for being a place for "hipsters", museum lovers, foodies, beach lovers and an overall favorite vacation destination. St. Pete Beach is 25 miles south of Tampa/Clearwater airport and 25 miles north of Bradenton/Sarasota airport. On Tierra Verde, enjoy fine dining and live music at Billy's, fabulous Italian cuisine at Tony & Nello's or the awesome Sea Worthy Fish and Bar. There are several restaurants located on the island for your dining pleasure. Bring your kayak and bicycle and ride the bike path from our place to beautiful Fort DeSoto Beach and Park. Storage available for kayaks (with advance notice) or you may rent bikes or kayaks at Fort DeSoto Beach.

About the host
Hosted by Lori & Rich McDermott
We love to travel and meeting new people. We enjoy fine wine, trying new food and diverse cultures. We strive to provide a great experience for an affordable vacation. We are blessed with 3 grown daughters, 4 grandchildren, 3 amazing son-in-laws and a few, fun vacation spots that we love to offer guests at a valuable price. As a host for the past 26 years in our own home and now with short-term rentals for the past 11, this may be one of the most noble things we can do. In a world where there is division, hostility, and cynicism; being able to welcome people into an environment we’ve created for them and doing so without prejudice, judgment, and hopefully learning from and sharing with others —is an incredible phenomenon. If only more host stories could be told to counterbalance the more cynical view that we take on in this world, we’d be better off. That’s what I come away with in this whole journey and even more now since I've been operating short-term rentals. My children have been given an opportunity to learn and exchange culture at a very young age; even extended family and school community participated as some of our guests taught in the school. We believe this helped guide our children and community to a better understanding to life and multicultural differences yet we all learned, grew, and benefited from the relationships formed. It wasn’t my intent to better myself, but I really do feel like we have brnefited more than we give.
