About this property

Best Family Vacation at the Beach or the Pool.

When enjoying your stay at Sunset Getaway, the whole family can walk or ride our bikes to the end of the block and you're at Sunset Beach Park.  Sunset Beach rest on the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  

Or just relax the day away, when you lay by the pool or have a cool drink under the palm tree.  There's plenty of beach/pools toys and the whole family can join in a bean bag toss and pool volleyball.  

Rather stretch out and see the countryside?  Take our bikes and visit the riding trails and beaches at nearby Howard park (1.5 miles away) or ride to our world famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks about 3.5 miles away and enjoy a piece of history and the local culture.

You are 25 miles from Tampa International Airport, 90 minutes to the theme parks in Orlando, 45 minutes from Busch Gardens and only 28 minutes from the beautiful Clearwater Beaches. For golf lovers, the world famous Innisbrook Golf Course is only about 2.5 miles away.

Awesome house and pool!

We have stayed at lots of homes and this one was hands down the most clean and well stocked. Very relaxing out by the pool and beautiful. Nice neighborhood and great location. Tarpon Springs is a nice town with lots of options for great food and fun. Pack your bags and rent this home, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for all the extras, you are great hosts!

I'd give 6 stars if I could

So, this is one of the best vacation experiences on record for us. We take more than our fair share of vacations and this house is one of the top we've ever stayed at.

Wonderful vacation

This is a beautiful beach home near the beach. My family of four had a wonderful time here. The kids loved the pool and all the bikes and toys already there for us. We used the provided kayak at the sunset beach 5min walk down the road. The host was responsive and professional. We went to Lego land that was just over an hour away and went to Tampa/St. Petersburg. Thank you! A++++ We will return again 100%

This house has it ALL! We all said “Wow!”when we walked in the door. This house is SO clean and the pool and beach accessories were perfect. No detail was left undone- from well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels to bicycles and games for the family. Thanks for contributing to such a memorable family vacation!

Really Nice Place!

The house was actually nicer in person than the pictures! Open concept from kitchen to dining room to living room. Home was in pristine condition! Beds were comfortable and everyone had their own space. Unfortunately, the pool wasn't completed when we got there, but the owner certainly made up for it. Would recommend for family of four as parents were on one side of the house and kids on the other! Great set up! The location was great to get to the beach at the end of the main street. Area was nice to bike ride around and there were many board games and things to do in the garage for guests. Top notch place!

All our family needed to escape the cold

We planned this the week before to escape sub zero temperatures at home with our school age kids. Temps were around 80. We mostly walked to Sunset Park and enjoyed the beach. Everything we needed was there -chairs, umbrella, coolers, even beach bags. We also enjoyed Howard Park and spent a day at Busch Gardens. Everything is at least as nice or nicer than the pictures look. The owners made sure we had child life vests like we asked about. The kitchen and grill worked out great. Comfortable bedding. Plenty of towels. We played the games in a closet. The pool would be even more awesome. We already are thinking about how we can come back next year.

Nice place

The home is very nice and well-stocked for all needs. Master BR is last room to get ac so it’s quite uncomfortable. We had to use fans to survive the heat. Owner had a portable ac delivered, but no way to hook it up properly in the window, so it was useless. They have a very generous restaurant gift card for the inconvenience which was appreciated. The area is okay. It’s a bay, not the ocean. I should have examined the map more closely. We would have stayed in Clearwater or further south had we realized.

Impressive!!!

House was very clean and kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. Garage was loaded with pool toys and beach items. Walking distance to beach. My wife and I, two daughters, son in laws, grandchildren and two dogs had a great time in this house. No need to look anywhere else, book this house. Steve and Joyce were great hosts and very easy to communicate with. Look forward to visiting again.

A fabulous house and vacation!

This house had everything we were looking for and then some! The inside was beautifully decorated, comfy, warm and welcoming. Outside was a huge bonus!! From the fantastic and gorgeous pool area to the outdoor grilling area, it was more than we could have imagined. The garage was filled with everything you could ever need for a day at Sunset Beach. We are definitely planning on returning to this gem in the future!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

After 25 years of building and managing our own rental properties and move to Florida, we couldn't wait to use our experience and skills in our own vacation rentals.

We promised you'll enjoy your stay as much a we'll enjoy having you stay at Sunset Getaway.

Thank You,

Why they chose this property

Because we could update the open floor plan to a more modern version with a beach feel. In addition, it's 1 block from Sunset Beach and it's unique in that it has a circle drive in front on the main road to the beach and a 1900's brick road in the rear with it's own driveway and a place to put a swimming pool (coming in January 2021

What makes this property unique

Our neighborhood at Sunset Getaway is mostly single family occupied homes with wonderful neighbors. Probably much like your own neighborhood, except it has the ocean and a beach just a block away.
