The kitchen will provide you with everything you need to make almost any meal, from pots, pans and bakeware to a full selection of spices.

The family room and bonus room have 70” HD Smart Tv’s with Silver cable package, HBO & Showtime. Each bedroom has 42” HD Smart Tv and there is high speed wifi accessible inside and out.

We are located in a quiet, family, neighborhood ½ mile from the famous biking trail - Pinellas Trail. Use the 2 beach cruiser bikes provided or you can rent from multiple bike rental agencies close to the home.

Here you can book dolphin watching excursions, deep sea fishing charters or boat tours to watch sponge divers pull up live sponges. The street is full of shops, including ice cream and pastries, sponges, specialty soaps, wine, spices and oils. You will also find authentic Greek restaurants and other eateries offering “fresh from the sea” seafood, burgers, sandwiches and salads. If just having a cold drink is on your list, there are a number of water front taverns to choose from.

Downtown Tarpon Springs, in between the house and the Docks and has more shopping and restaurants to choose from including a handful of antique and consignment stores with ever-changing inventory.

If golf is your thing, the Tarpon Springs Golf Course is about a mile away and does not require membership to play. Innisbrook Golf Resort is also within 1.5 miles.

There are also 2 scuba shops in town with more in Hudson to the north and Clearwater to the south. If you need more info on diving just ask. We've gotten addicted and can point you in the right direction.

Emergency medical care is within a mile and Winn Dixie (grocery) is only a few minutes further north.

Clearwater Beach, rated one of the top beached in the world is only a short 30 minute drive away. There you can find with parasailing, jet ski rental, high speed boat tours, dolphin encounters.

Busch Gardens Theme Park is only a 45 minutes away and Disney are about a 90 minute drive.

Upon arrival, you will find a binder with brochures, menus and other suggestions of places to go and things to do. You will also be provided with a “starter basket” with an initial inventory of laundry soap, paper products, coffee and garbage bags. Additional and future items will need to be provided by the guest.

Front door access is via electronic keypad and you will be given a guest code for the whole house security system. You will also have use of 2 bays in the garage and a remote control for use during your stay.

We live out of the area, but have a maintenance service available as needed. This group can also provide house cleaning, laundry service, grocery shopping and airport shuttle service paid by you directly to the Concierge as used. Landscaping and pool cleaning are conducted weekly and included in the rental rate.

Because of the neighborhood and location of the home, 45 days is currently the minimum available contract. Unfortunately, we do not allow guests to bring pets.

Fantastic
Rich and Melissa’s place is wonderful. It was very clean and well maintained. It fit our group of couples very well. Our favorite area was the lanai with a heated pool. Communication and access was simple. We stayed for 2 months and we’re sad to leave. The Tarpon Springs area was also a fun place to get to know! Loved the bike trail. Can not say enough about our love of this place. Thank you for sharing your home with us :)

Great house; clean and well maintained. Convenient to so many areas !
We've had a great time. House is very well stocked and comfortable. Lots of golf options, we've loved the parks around, and lots of good food. Really like the Tarpon Springs area and surrounding communities. Clearwater Beach, Tampa are very easy and acessible in short time.

All Expectations Exceeded
We fell in love with Tarpon Springs and this home. My husband and I, our nanny, and our 5 kids between the ages of 2 and 9 stayed from mid-July to mid-September. There are 4 rooms on the main level, plus a bonus/rec room upstairs. Our girls shared a queen bed; 1 boy slept on the fold out sofa upstairs; another boy slept on the main level; our nanny had her own room; and our 2 year old's tot bed could fit just about anywhere. The home is very well appointed with furnishings, linens, and lots of extras. I was very impressed with the kitchen. It had everything I needed to cook for a crowd! There's also a gas grill and a smoker outside. The pool and the landscaping are just luxurious. We felt spoiled the entire time. The neighborhood is lovely, as are the neighbors. There's a small HOA park right around the corner, and it's a very short drive to the beach and local trails. Everything we needed was close by. The calm, local beaches are great for little kids who aren't ready to fight waves. It was like a warm bathtub with dolphins! The house has an alarm system with a door chime. If your kids try to escape to the pool, you will hear the door open! Great peace of mind. Rich was fantastic to work with; never seemed put out by my questions and was always quick to reply. I hope he will let us stay again some day!

About the host

Hosted by Rich & Melissa Kruse

Host profile image
Our family currently lives in Columbus Ohio and bought this house as both an investment and a place for us to relax. Since 2020 we have started to spend more and more time here and will eventually make this our permanent home. We love it and hope you do too.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a place where we could relax and drove up and down the Florida coast looking at different cities. When we came upon Tarpon Springs, we knew we had found our Happy Place. Life is just a little slower when you are here, but you are close enough to Tampa and Clearwater to enjoy the benefits of a big city with just a short drive. The best of both worlds.
