About this property

Lakeside 2- Bed Apartment Near Clearwater Beaches

Ideally located on Florida's Gulf Coast just minutes from many of America’s best beaches. The 2-bed apartment is situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Tarpon, just north of Clearwater.

The big and exciting city of Tampa with its International Airport is just 30 minutes away, with the theme parks in Orlando only 90 minutes drive. Come stay with us and you will find you can relax and recharge your batteries in a comfortable setting yet just minutes away you have all the activities and amenities that you could ever wish for!

Relax by the communal pool, the Jacuzzi and enjoy the waterfront environment. On your doorstep are an abundance of malls, restaurants, parks, beaches, golf courses and endless activities for all ages.

DISCOUNTS are available for longer stays, book 7 days and get an extra 20% off and for 1 month or more you can get an extra 25% discount. For longer stays than 1 month please ask us directly what rates we can do thanks.

Book with confidence - we have welcomed countless happy guests and each year about 3 months are booked out to repeat guests. You have the whole apartment to yourself. My friend Ann manages the apartment and she also lives on the same complex so she is on hand for anything you need. Arrive at your convenience as we have a keycode system to access the apartment (no need for keys).

The apartment will be cleaned before and after your stay. No need for you to lift a finger, relax and enjoy!

WATERFRONT LIVING - Lake Tarpon Villas is a stylish, low-level apartment complex with direct access to seven-mile long Lake Tarpon (the second largest in Florida) which is great for bass fishing & water skiing. Apartment looks out onto water, boardwalks and boat docks. Often you will see fish and storks and herons right outside on the decking. Our gas-grill-BBQ is on the decking right by the waterside.

WE HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED - All vital appliances and utensils together with Cable TV with over 80 channels, DVD player. For your convenience we have a computer with free high-speed (100MB) Internet access and WIFI for your portable devices.

STUNNING VIEWS - The 2-bed apartment has a balcony which looks down onto the decking and waters from Lake Tarpon. The view outside is fantastic especially at night when the palms are all lit up.

SPACIOUS - The apartment is comfortable, clean and above all safe. Air-conditioned & family-friendly with high-chair & travel cot. The approximate size of the 2-bed is 1051 sq. feet with lovely high cathedral ceilings. An allocated parking space is almost right outside.

WHAT A LOCATION - On the shores of beautiful Lake Tarpon in the small and quaint town of Palm Harbor, just north of the famous beach resort of Clearwater with mile after mile of white sandy beaches all the way down to St Petersburg. We are also just south of the well-known tourist town of Tarpon Springs and the charming town of Dunedin is worth a visit.

The Clearwater area is a popular tourist area with many restaurants, bars, shopping malls and although they are just minutes away the road layout in this area means they are spread along the main roads that cover this area and are not suitable for walking to so you will need a car.

There is an open-air communal swimming pool. There is a Jacuzzi, sun loungers and picnic tables where you can relax alongside the boat docks and waterside.

2-BED APARTMENT - Our 2-bed apartment is on the second floor level up a very small flight of 15 stairs. There is nobody above you. Waterfront views of the lake from the balcony.

Apartment comes complete with all vital appliances and utensils together with Cable TV with over 80 channels, DVD player. Computer with high-speed (100mb) Internet and WIFI.

The kitchen has all the obvious appliances and utensils you need for cooking i.e. cooker, microwave, pots, pans, cutlery, kettle, coffee-maker etc. There is also a dishwasher and refrigerator.

The living area is very comfortable with cathedral ceiling and a sofa for three and a separate sofa for two. The sofa pulls out to make a sofa-bed sleeping another two (the apartment can sleep a total of six).

The dining area has a dining table with seating for four. In the hall is an iron and ironing board. For washing clothes you will find coin-operated industrial washer/dryers in the laundry room next to the swimming pool.

The master bedroom is large with a queen-size bed and plenty of wardrobes and drawers providing plenty of space to store all your belongings. Bedding is provided and a hairdryer. There is an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. Towels are provided.

The second bedroom has twin beds, again there is plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space for your belongings. Just outside in the hallway is a second bathroom, again with bath and shower.

AWARD-WINNING BEACHES - We are minutes away from many great beaches. Many people have heard of St. Petersburg and Clearwater but close by there are more local beaches such as Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, Fred Howard Park and Sunset beach. Some of these have been voted in the top ten of all beaches in America – beating off competition from California and Hawaii!

WHY STAY WITH US? Inside the apartment we have made sure it is comfortable, clean and well-equipped with everything you need to be able to sit back and relax.

ANDERSON PARK - This is about a mile up the road and also gives access to Lake Tarpon. Well worth a visit as it is absolutely beautiful. Great covered picnic areas and plenty of restrooms.

THEME PARKS IN ORLANDO - You are within easy reach of Disney World, Epcot Centre, Universal Studios, MGM Studios, Sea Life, and all the other attractions in Orlando. The drive is a very easy one as you take highway 4 all the way from Tampa towards Orlando and it takes about 90 minutes.

TAMPA - On your doorstep in Tampa, you also have a major theme park, Busch Gardens, famous for having the best rollercoasters in Florida. Tampa itself has all sorts of attractions from waterfront shopping, marinas, Lowry Park Zoo, museums, malls, sports and nightlife.

RESTAURANTS - Florida is renowned for good value, delicious food, usually served in large portions! Fine restaurants are plentiful, varying from elegantly simple to simply elegant. Menus include a wide selection from ethnic Italian, gourmet French, Japanese to “down home” barbecue or fresh fish caught daily. There are some fantastic restaurants near to our apartments in Palm Harbor/Clearwater. The choice and variety is simply amazing. Within 5 miles there are hundreds of restaurants.

SUPERMARKETS/GROCERIES - Numerous supermarkets (including Wal-Mart, Publix and Albertsons less than a mile away) as well as shops and malls (including Clearwater Mall) are also on your doorstep.

GOLF - The area is a haven for golf lovers. Within 10 miles there are about 40 golf courses! Less than half a mile away is world-famous Westin Innisbrook Resort which hosts a PGA tour event which attracts golfers such as Tiger Woods. Wentworth golf club and the Lansbrook golf course are also top courses but equally there are affordable public golf courses at which players of all standards can just turn up to play.

SPORTS - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers play in the National Football League (NFL), the Tampa Bay Lightning play in the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Tampa Bay Rays play in Major League Baseball (MLB). Six MLB teams hold their spring training camps in the area.

SWIM WITH MANATEES in Crystal River in the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park has also been recommended by previous guests.

MORE THINGS TO DO! - Nearby is the 47 mile Pinellas Trail where you can walk, run, bike, jog, or rollerblade. There are endless other activities for everyone such as great shopping, cinema over the road, water sports, scuba diving, snorkeling, museums (i.e. Salvador Dali in Tampa), art galleries, gambling at the Hardrock casino in Tampa, bowling, zoos, cruises, concerts, nightlife, parks, fishing, sailing, shelling, biking, gyms, tennis, racquetball, basketball, shuffleboard, horse riding, miniature golf, live theater, sightseeing, waterskiing, windsurfing, parasailing & jet skiing.

Come have the vacation of a lifetime that you will always remember!!!

Tarpon Villas- July 2024
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this property. Very clean 2nd floor condo with water view. Comfortable and roomy master bedroom with patio door to deck. 2nd bedroom having 2 twin beds. Living room has updated and comfortable furniture with patio door to deck overlooking the water. Kitchen with everything you need, has 2 barstools at the kitchen counter and dining area has table for 4. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub a few times, the pool was nice and warm. Location is great as you can get to a variety of restaurants, the sponge docks and various shopping. Beaches are close too! Walmart and Publix nearby and only 25 minutes to St Petersburg (PIE) Airport. Owner and property manager were awesome to answer questions.

No issues with our stay. Townhouse is close to a Main Street which made it easy to navigate around the area. Some noise though from busy road, but we got use to it after a time. All neighbors we met were nice and friendly!

Location good , pool disappointing
Mark’s condo provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed four weeks there. There are lots of nearby attractions within a half hour drive. Our problem was we assumed mistakenly that there was a heated pool so please be aware this is not the case although there is a hot tub. Communication with Mark and Ann ( on site) was very easy.

Beautiful Condo. It’s actually much nicer than the pictures! The place was also very clean. Love the balcony in the living room, great view. There’s also another balcony in the master bedroom. The place had everything you need. The pool was nice and it is right Next to the laundry room, so you can wash while you swim. There was also so many nice restaurants near by. Clearwater was very close by also. I would definitely stay here again. Thank You for a wonderful experience.

Very good, except for ongoing roof repairs. Per residents this has been many weeks where construction on the roof has been underway. Not able to park in assigned spot due to construction equipment and vehicles. Additionally walking on the roof at 7:23 a.m. this morning disturbed our sleep. No mention on the listing regarding this inconvenience.

Lake Tarpon
We had a lovely relaxing time, the villa was perfect size for 4, nice and clean with pretty water view from balcony. beaches and everything else were within easy reach. The pool area was nice and well kept. The only negative during our stay was the fact the entrance to the villa and walk to the pool looked like a builders yard wìth roofing materials and painters working on the villas, which was unexpected. It would have been nice to be made aware of this. It didn't affect our holiday we had a lovely time and would definately come back. If looking for a quiet relaxing villa in an ideal location the villa is perfect. Many thanks to Mark and Katyia.

An ok place to stay. Photos misrepresent.
So we were a little disappointed at the property upon our arrival. The pictures in the listing are definitely older when the property was much nicer, and some of the pictures are not even of this particular property. The property is a bit run down and in need of updates. Looks very little like the beautiful pictures shown. So I feel it really was misrepresented to be much nicer than it really is. It was clean so that was a plus.We could not locate the pool (it is not in view from the unit) and when we found it the gate was locked and the laundry room was locked. I had to send messages and make calls to discover we had keys in the condo for both but no one had told us nor told us where the pool was located. Ann that lives nearby was however very sweet and helpful. She is the only reason I got answers to my questions as emails to the owners take a minimum of 24hours to get a response.

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image
We are a fun-loving family from England who love our home away from home. As we work very hard on our website business we wanted a place to escape to and relax, yet have the choice to be busy and have lots of things to do and see on our doorstep - this is just the perfect place. It is also easy enough in just 90 minutes to get to all the theme parks in Orlando but we didn't want to be stuck on a suburban housing development in Orlando with nothing to do but visit the parks. Instead we wanted a home on the gorgeous Florida Gulf Coast in a relaxing and homely part of Florida where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of watching the sun go down on some of the best white sandy beaches in the whole of America.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be in the busy Clearwater Beach area of Florida where there is so much to do and see that one vacation is simply not enough, so we never get bored going back year after year.

What makes this property unique

Our unique advantage over most normal properties is the superb location on the waters of Lake Tarpon. The boats, decking and palms make this a lovely setting for your dream vacation. You can fish off the decking and see eagles and many other beautiful birds. It is peaceful and tranquil yet the area we are in is full of malls, shops and excellent restaurants - and just minutes from beaches that have been voted the very best in the whole of America (and don't forget that includes Hawaii). Inside the apartment we have made sure it is comfortable, clean and well-equipped with everything you need to be able to sit back and relax.
