Seaside Oasis ~ Waterfront, Dog-Friendly, Saltwater Pool & Spa, Private Dock
Your Private Waterfront Florida Escape
NEWLY REMODELED POOL AREA — 2025!
Imagine starting your morning with coffee overlooking the canal, spending the afternoon swimming in your private pool or kayaking toward Tampa Bay, and ending the day watching a beautiful Florida sunset from your screened-in lanai.
Welcome to your own spacious waterfront getaway!
This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom canal-front home is designed for families, friends, and four-legged family members looking to relax, have fun, and enjoy everything Florida has to offer. Located on a peaceful canal with direct access toward Tampa Bay, the home offers a wonderful combination of a private pool, spa, dock, kayaks, fenced yard, and comfortable indoor living spaces.
PRIVATE POOL, SPA & OUTDOOR LIVING
The pool area was newly remodeled in 2025, giving you a beautiful space to relax and enjoy the Florida sunshine.
Spend the day swimming, lounging by the pool, or relaxing in the spa controlled by your own on/off panel, while the kids enjoy the water. The entire pool and patio area is enclosed by a screened lanai, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.
Spa heating is included. Please reach out to inquire about pool heating.
The lanai opens toward the backyard and waterfront, creating an easy flow between the pool, yard, and dock.
And don't forget the sunsets! Grab a drink, settle into a comfortable chair, and watch the sky change colors over the water as another beautiful Florida day comes to an end.
KAYAK, FISH & EXPLORE
The canal behind the home leads toward Tampa Bay, giving you the opportunity to experience Florida from the water.
Complimentary kayaks are available for guests who want to explore the canal and enjoy the peaceful waterfront surroundings. You can also fish from the private dock or simply sit by the water and watch for local wildlife.
Keep your eyes open—you may even be lucky enough to see a dolphin or manatee passing through the canal!
A small vessel may also be tied to the dock. Please contact the owner regarding the maximum permitted vessel length.
COMFORTABLE, SPACIOUS & FAMILY-FRIENDLY
With three comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for the whole family.
One bathroom is conveniently connected to the primary bedroom, while the other serves the additional bedrooms and common areas.
Several rooms have direct access to the pool and patio area, including:
The primary bedroom One additional bedroom The kitchen Dining area
This makes it easy to move between the indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day.
The spacious living room provides a comfortable place to relax after a day in the pool or on the water, watch TV or play board games, or play the piano. Gather everyone together for a family movie night on the large Smart TV, or simply enjoy some downtime in the air-conditioned living space.
FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN
The kitchen is fully stocked and equipped with **new stainless-steel appliances, making it easy to prepare anything from a quick breakfast before heading to the beach to a family dinner enjoyed together at home.
With two dining areas, there is plenty of space for everyone to sit down and enjoy a meal together.
Of course, you're also welcome to take your meals outside and enjoy them overlooking the canal.
BRING YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS
Your four-legged family members are welcome too!
The property includes a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. There is also a doggy door from the screened lanai to the backyard, giving your pets easy access to the outdoor space while you enjoy the pool and patio.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

For families with children, there is no shortage of things to do without even leaving the house:

YOUR FLORIDA VACATION, YOUR WAY
One of the best things about this home is that you don't have to choose between a relaxing vacation and an active one.
You can spend the morning kayaking, the afternoon floating in the pool, and the evening watching the sunset.
Or sleep in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, spend the day by the pool, and have a family movie night.
There is space to be together and space to unwind.
Come enjoy the sunshine, the water, the pool, and the laid-back Florida lifestyle from your own private waterfront home.

The neighborhood, the pool area, living area, we’re all positive. could’ve been a little bit more attention paid to the cleanliness of the pots and pans, several handles were missing off dressers, loose table chair, legs. Some of the areas of the house needed a little bit more TLC but overall, we definitely enjoyed our stay and the communication with the property owner was very good.
Nice house, good location. We saw manatees and dolphins swimming in the canal daily. Not a bad drive to the beach, fishing piers, etc. Would definitely stay again!
Everything was exactly as described. Communication with property host was top notch. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. The pool was wonderful and in top working order. Location was great to Tampa/ Sarasota/St. Pete.
We stayed at this property over the week of Thanksgiving and we loved it. Our children loved the pool! Everyone loved the hot tub. The house met our needs and we would recommend this home to others.
Owner very responsive
Quiet neighborhood
Roomy accommodations
Very touched by the extras… chocolates & bottle of wine welcoming our arrival.
Thank you so much for the memories made!
Perfect Retreat on the Canals You and your dogs will love
Easily one of the best properties I’ve stayed at for a short term rental. The owner was extremely communicative prior to check in and while the hot tub was left in service mode when we got there, the pool guy came to fix it within an hour of sending a message to the host. The house itself was impressively stocked with everything we needed for the week. We will definitely be back.
The house is well-kept. Our family had an excellent vacation here. Very clean throughout. Air conditioning worked well in all rooms. Pool and spa were extremely enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed restful sleep in the beds. We cooked nearly every night. The location is very convenient to shopping and highways.
The property was located on a beautiful canal. The house was beautiful and well maintained. We enjoyed seeing a couple of dolphins a manatee and plenty of fish! The spa and pool were both very welcomed after a days work. The kayaks provided us with a great way to explore the canal we paddled out to the bay. Our fur babies also enjoyed their time! The host was wonderful and took care of any and all questions immediately!!! Will be back for another stay!
My family and I came to visit extended family and I could not have picked a better home to stay at. It is very well taken care of ,you can tell the owners take pride in their rental home. The home was very clean and very comfortable beds and the master bath shower is great. Having the pool was great for the family my children loved it and very clean. Very nice kitchen to be able to eat in. Great yard and dock. Our hosts were great and very nice! We definitely will be back, plus it is a great location and a very nice neighborhood and easy access to stores. This was a 6 Star home!!! I highly recommend if staying in Tampa area.
We wanted a relaxing place for our 6 week winter getaway from Michigan! Shir's place offered everything and more! The lanai pool/hot tub/patio with large screen smart tv was our favorite "room". We even watched the Superbowl out there!
Our favorite amenities were:
Fridge in kitchen, fridge in garage and wine fridge under the coffee bar
Large washer and dryer
Huge smart TVs (the one on the patio was a bonus and most watched)
Coffee bar (two coffee pots)
Thank you for the extra chaises
Great communication!!! Shir is a great communicator and got back to us quickly with answers.
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your place! We hope to come back sometime!
House was great! Plenty of space. Pool was sparkling clean. Beds are comfortable. Definitely family friendly. Quiet and safe neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay.
The place was clean. We had one question about the spa and the host responded within 60 minutes. It has everything you need. It is in a quiet neighborhood which is nice. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities which is nice and not nice. I would recommend bringing some bug repellant. The nooseums were rampant.
Perfect vacation home in Tampa - Spacious, supplied everything we needed and more! From pool floaties, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing rods/ lures, soaps, wine! And our own private dock which we were luck to catch 4 different types of fish! The location was central to many of our excursions and our family had a wonderful time. Thanks again for hosting
We wanted somewhere we could stay with our little kids and just cozy in for some family time coming in from different parts of the country. Felt sooo good to have many activities right from the comfort of this home. Very happy with our stay and would stay again.
