I reserved this house due to its proximity to Odessa, where part of our group was competing at a trapshooting event. It's an easy 20 minute drive to the Silver Dollar Shooters Club. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, just one street behind a major street in Oldsmar.
While there are no beaches within walking distance, we really enjoyed Mobley Bay Park, which is about a 2-3 mile drive. It's a small, quiet beach on Tampa Bay, perfect for tanning or a picnic. We also visited Honeymoon Island State Park, about 30 minutes away. It was pretty cold still, but beautiful and lots of beach and walking trails. Busch Gardens is also within 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic.
Be sure to stop at Ice Cream Theory, which is within walking distance of the house (just cut through the hotel parking lot on the street in front of the house). The gelato is delicious!
We had a great stay and would stay here again.
