**A waiver must be signed in order to utilize the kayaks, paddle boards, fishing equipment, and other water toys. If you would like to use these free amenities, simply let your Host know upon booking, and a Rental Agreement will be sent for signature to the person making the reservation.**

INCLUDED IN YOUR RESERVATION:
- 2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, and fishing poles and a tackle box are free for your use, once our waiver has been signed.
- We maintain the pool/spa at 70 degrees. If you’d like it warmer, just let us know at least 48 hours before arrival so we can have it ready for you. Pool (85) / Spa (103) heat is available for $45/day or $270/week plus tax (minimum 2 consecutive days). The spa runs on a wall-mounted egg timer in 1-hour cycles and shares the same heating system as the pool, so it won’t reach hot tub temperatures unless pool heat is turned on / egg timer is engaged. Please note the pool system will not operate at full capacity when Air Temp is 55 degrees or cooler. No pool heat refunds will be offered based on weather conditions. Please let us know if you’d like to add heating or if you have any questions!
- Guests are welcome to use the grill free of charge. Any propane left onsite by previous guests is available for your use. Let us know if you would like to purchase full propane tanks before your arrival.
- Guests have free access to the fire pit. Firewood may be purchased at the local Publix grocery store.


Upper Dock & Boat Lift:
The upper deck and boat lift are strictly off-limits to guests and clearly marked with signage for safety. A more permanent barrier will be installed soon. In the meantime, only the lower dock is available for guest use—perfect for launching kayaks, paddleboards, and other water toys (with prior host approval). We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in following these guidelines.

In-Ground Trampoline:
An in-ground trampoline is on the property but is not for guest use. It is clearly marked as off-limits.

Lakefront & Debris:
Lake water levels and floating debris can shift with changing weather. While we make every effort to keep the shoreline clean, conditions may vary. We appreciate your understanding and recommend that guests exercise caution and supervision near the water.

Pool Maintenance
The pool is serviced twice weekly to keep it clean and ready for your enjoyment. If you have any questions about the schedule or pool care, feel free to reach out!

No Diving / Depth Markers:
For everyone’s safety, diving is not allowed in the pool. Depth markers are clearly visible, and guests are asked to supervise children and follow all pool rules at all times.


-The Pool and Spa are scheduled for treatment once per week on Thursday depending on the weather. This is to ensure that the water is clean and well-maintained during your stay.

- We provide free itinerary guides designed by locals for families or adults. You will be able to download them when you book with us.

Perfect Location in Tampa

Two families with 8 people. Plenty of room for everyone and all of the bathrooms made for a great stay. Little things needed attending: pool lights didn't work, patio tv didn't have internet,the upstairs dryer didn't work. Owners were responsive (offered temporary lights and fixed the oool filters that were falling off) but the dryer was a no go. Amazing location. Beautiful pool. House needs a few repairs but otherwise was a perfect family vacation.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

My husband and I had a phenomenal stay at this property. We enjoyed our time there from start to finish. The property is just as pictured, simply beautiful. The views of the lake are spectacular. We enjoyed the hot tub, the pool and playing ping pong. We liked being able to play ping pong so much we ordered a table for our home. The location is also amazing. We were able to take daily walks at the nearby park. The check-in process was seamless and the amenities are too many to name. We will definitely visit them again.

Football excursion to watch our “Ravens” take down the Buccaneers.

We came in after midnight-house was well-lit for our arrival. Complimentary bottle of wine awaiting us. Everything pretty much as pictured. Nice sized rooms, lots of sleeping availabilities, nice linens, towels, bathroom/shower necessities-well stocked. Very nice surroundings. As a result of the two recent hurricanes, there was some property damage; therefore, affecting some of the amenities. The pool and hot tub had some maintenance issues, but we were able to get some use out of them, regardless. The view is absolutely gorgeous of the lake. Too many wonderful extras to mention. Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay.

"Caution"

When we arrived at the house & walked in it looked fine but, when we went in the back yard other then the pool it was a mess with caution tape on the upper dock, small dock, old pool enclosure & an inground trampoline with a section missing. Also there were aluminum beer cans in the water by the small sea wall & parts of the dock laying in the water. The inground pool was missing a main drain cover & part of a jet on the steps, being a pool builder for 43 years this is a major safety issue. We did have fun there since we are all older but I would not be happy if i went there with young children. I sent pictures to the phone # they gave me & said they document everything??

Great Escape

House was in a great location! The outside patio/pool area was so relaxing. The inside was clean and laid out well. There is a desk with a monitor, hub and printer to hook up laptops. The internet is a bit slow, around 16mbs and really slows down when everyone is using the internet. Loved the complemental wine and coffee. We will definitely stay here agian!

A wonderful home with a perfect view and location

From start to finish, my group and I were very impressed with this property. Newly renovated with a spectacular outdoor space and view. Very quiet and private. The home is located in a great neighborhood close to everything Tampa has to offer. The communication with the host was spectacular and prompt. There isn’t much more you can ask for when staying in Tampa. I highly recommend this property for a weekend getaway, trip with friends, or anything in between.
