Other Things to Note:

- 💦 HEATER/CHILLER POOL AVAILABLE FOR A EXTRA DAILY FEE: For added comfort, the pool can be heated or cooled upon request, allowing you to enjoy the water at a comfortable temperature (typically around 85°F) regardless of the season.



A modest daily fee applies:

During the spring and summer months, the pool is often naturally warmed by the sun, and most guests find that heating is not necessary. In cooler months, heating can be added to enhance your swimming experience.

Pool heaters operate most efficiently when temperatures are above 60°F; during colder weather or occasional cold fronts, the pool may take longer to reach or maintain the desired temperature and may not be suitable for all preferences.

- ❄️ AC INFO: When using the air conditioning between May and August, kindly avoid setting it below 75°F from noon to 8 PM, and remember to adjust it to 78°F when leaving the property. This practice allows the AC to defrost and operate more effectively in the evening.

What's nearby

  • My favorite flower from my trip to Florida has to be from the floss silk tree (Chorisia speciosa).

The flower is about 4-6 inches across and the bright pink from the tips of the petals can be spotted from quite a distance.

It's like someone took the flower of a hibiscus and and infinitely improved upon it.

The Florida Botanical Gardens are beautiful AND free! With over 30 acres of themed gardens to explore and photograph.

Excellent Visit

We thoroughly enjoyed this property! The location was close to everything, especially, as runners, the Pinellas Trail, which was right around the corner! This was an added perk for us. The pool and yard was fantastic and great for lounging, swimming, and soaking up the Florida sun! Overall an outstanding experience.

This home was the perfect serene getaway to enjoy the Florida sun! They have everything you need to stay comfortably! We enjoyed using all the beach and pool accessories! We have two little ones and asked if they knew a place to rent another pack n play but they kindly left us two pack n plays so we wouldn’t have to worry about renting anything!

Summer family vacation

My step daughter were visiting us for a couple of dayd and we wanted to show her the west coast of Florida so we decided to rent this house to be able to do day trips to the cities around and it worked perfectly because Largo is very central, around 30 minutes from the other main beaches. The house was very accommodating and comfortable, very clean and we noticed they put attention to details so it made our stay even more special. We did not miss anything, from kitchen utensils to beach chairs and towels, everything was perfect.
