About this property

Gulf Front 6 bedroom with private heated pool and hot tub

***Truly a gulf front family vacation destination with own private heated pool and hot tub and Gulf right out the back door! ***** This wonderful vacation home is located in a Gulf front town called Crystal Beach approx 10 miles N. of Clearwater Beach, away from all the hustle and condos, yet we are close to all the bigger beachy beaches, and close to Tampa International Airport 35 mins away. Very close to other beautiful beaches within biking distance, very close to Busch Gardens 30 mins away, Orlando 1 hr and 30 mins away where there are tons of theme parks, Universal, Sea World, Islands of Adventure, and stop by Dinosaur world on the way. We also are close to Pier 60 down on Clear water Beach 15 mins away with its night life board walk. Or visit Historic Tarpon Springs Greek Culture 10 mins away, or just kayak right from the vacation home out to local spoil islands to have your own island for the day. **We are not on a beacy beach**, though its on the gulf of Mexico, there is a shore out back off the home off the pool deck, to access the Gulf with the complimentary sea kayaks, its not a large beach to lay out on, most people enjoy laying around the pool deck or on the back yard overlooking the gulf and enjoying the breezes and the sounds of the water and able to soak up the sun while not getting sand in their bathing suits or in their food, but have the convenience of everything being right there right out your back door with its privacy as well!


Nearby Attractions: We are located in between Clearwater beach and Tarpon Springs, an area of Multi million dollar homes, very Centrally Located, we are a very unspoiled community with its own little pier, park, Nondenominational Church by the Sea, close to golf courses, more beaches and all the attractions like para sailing, jet skiing, swimming with manatees, etc. There are plenty of gourmet and family dining and FUN restaurants and lots and lots of shopping!! Fun places for night life in famous Ybor City. You can paddle out to Honeymoon Island or local spoil islands with their gorgeous beach and also three Rooker Bar and along the way you’ll see dolphins swim by!! Also Caladesi Island, and Clearwater Beach, are within bike riding distance, which are two of the Nation’s top five beaches. Walking distance to the Pinellas Trail - or you can use our bikes! Not to mention Disney, Bush Gardens, Sea World, Universal and MGM Studios within 1 hour 50 minutes.

*****There is a daily maid service available for an hourly rate
*****Also a personal chef available upon request. Just need to give advance notice
***If guests have a longer stay than 1 week, then an additional cleaning fee of $200 per week will be assessed

****If requested, the home can be stocked with food items of your choice before arrival for a fee. Must inquire 2 weeks before arrival.
****We also have a personal masseuse available to come to the vacation home to give massages either out by the pool or your choice of location in the home. Also, there is a Gulf front bonfire pit that is right there near shore that everyone enjoys, especially making smores during sunset while either swimming in the pool or lounging in the hot tub or just relaxing in the comfortable lanai area while enjoying the evening with your family or friends..

Crystal Beach

The setting of this property is beautiful. The sunrise, sunset and new moon take your breath away as does the abundant wildlife, including dolphins swimming past you! Kids swam with gentle Manta and fished from private pier everyday. The Kayaks were a huge hit. Pool and adjacent jacuzzi were in constant use. Lovely shady areas to sit outside. Family enjoyed trips to exquisite islands.House is spacious and well equipped and was very clean on our arrival. Although a little "worn" in some places this only added to it's charm. Close to all amenities and close enough to Disney world for a day visit. Excellent restaurants around and Sprouts supermarket excellent. Owner's Mum was our contact and very accommodating. Large family group ages from 3 years to 68 years.

Fun for everyone! Spectacular Sunsets

Everything we needed was there plus more! Close to themed parks and great restaurants. Eleanor also gave us ideas for places to go tubing and rafting down Crystal Clear rivers and where we were also able to see manatees! Never saw a manatee before, what a great experience for the kids! Dolphins out back off the house every morning was a special treat! Our whole family had a great time, we loved spending our time together, plenty of room for our family of 15

Had a wonderful time! Got to spend time with my family from all over the continent!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Watched dolphins swim by in the morning and evening! Beautiful sensets! The Pool and hot tub were a favorite for the kids! DeeDee’s home was beautiful, comfortable and welcoming and still had plenty of room for our family of 16! Also in a great location and central to the theme parks and to larger beaches. Our grandkids also loved fishing right from the back of the home. It really was a special time and would love to return again!

A Family Treat

My family (10 Adults and 3 Children) stayed in this property for two weeks in April. Our ages ranged from 18months to 67 years and everyone had a wonderful time. The sunsets watched from the boat dock were spectacular as were the Ospreys, Pelicans, and Blue Heron. Having coffee on the boat dock in the mornings we could watch for dolphins as well as seeing all the fish. Everyone enjoyed the heated pool and the youngsters had great fun on the climbing frame and in the sandpit. The house was well equipped and the owner was very quick to respond to any queries we had concerning the property. I would just like to say that one of the bedrooms with two double beds is on the first floor and the staircase (cross between a wooden staircase and a ladder) is steep and not suitable for the young or elderly. There is lots to do in the area with Clearwater Beach, Busch Gardens, and many other attractions within easy reach. Shopping Malls and Food Supermarkets within in a 5 - 10 minute drive. Orlando is just over an hour away but can take longer with all the traffic hold ups in Orlando around the Theme Parks. It was a special holiday and all our memories are of a fantastic time.

Plenty of room

We had a family of 8 Adults and 2 children. Plenty of room for family to enjoy the outside and pool. House is well stocked with appliances and toys for the pool. Had some maintenance items and owner was very responsive. Our family enjoyed using the 4 bikes that were available, close to shopping and restaurants. the Gulf waters were perfect, not very deep off the pier, probably my only complaint was the Gulf bottom was mucky and had plenty of oyster shells. Not very sandy to walk on. Overall, a great trip!

Winter Bike Trip

9 adults traveled from Pennsylvania with motorcycles. We had a wonderful week! The view was fabulous. Fishing off the dock was also great. We enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. There was a bike and walking trail very close by that we used every single day. I cannot say enough about the excellent customer service by both the owner and property manage. They promptly answered all of our questions and were extremely friendly. We appreciated the opportunity to check in early too.Everything was exactly as described or better. Disregard all negative reviews and do not be afraid to stay at this gem!

Great Family Vacation

We came down for somewhat of family re-union. A few of the grandkids couldn't make it, but we had an amazing time. The property is large enough and has enough of everything for a great stay. We used the pool daily and made half our meals at the house and went out the other half. Plenty of beaches, restaurants and other activities very close.

Lovely home but with issues

My family and I thought the location and the house were great, however after the first night my teenage son came to me and said there were bugs in his bed and room. To my surprise the bed was covered in what looked like termites that had shed their wings all over the bedding. When I pulled the bed away from the wall I found even more in the corners and baseboard, some were even flying. I called immediately and while I did get a quick response. I was asked to take care of it by sprinkling some powder she gave me around the room. I had to sweep up all of the bugs, launder the sheets,clean the floor with a multiple purpose spray, then some bleach. Finally I put the powder down and it did manage to keep them away. I do feel like it should have been taken care FOR us but it was made to be my responsibility. Three days later we had some rain and then water started to leak from the ceiling at the top of the stairs just outside of the master bedroom. We had to put out several buckets to catch the water so it would not get on the floor and cause a slipping hazard. Again I called and did get a response, and again I was asked if anyone in the house could go up in the attic and take a look at it. When I did not respond via text, she finally called and said she would send someone over. We did have a great time and loved the area, however I do think things could have been handled a bit more professionally and maybe they could have offered to reimburse us a little because of this.

Great property!

A group of 21 of us, including 11 children all stayed here and loved it! It was the perfect set up for us with the pool and hot tub. Being right on the water kept people fishing and kayaking if they wanted more than lounging by the pool. Deedee was very responsive to us and immediately taking care of the few very minor issues we had. We would definitely stay here again!
