About this property

Lakeside retreat

  • At the Lakeside retreat you can experience Florida from its most beautiful side. Located directly on a small lake, turtles, otters and of course many species of birds can be observed directly from the tropical garden. Short excursions into the lake landscape are possible with the in-house pedal boat or canoe. Surrounded by dense palm hedges, the landscaped garden offers a lot of privacy and the pool invites you to cool off.
    There are wonderful beaches and numerous shopping opportunities within a 15-minute drive. The sponge diving town of Tarpon Springs with the sponge docks and the charming downtown is also worth seeing. Tampa Airport is just 40 minutes away.

After staying at countless properties this one was far and away my favorite in every way. No detail was over looked - from cookware to buttery sheets - from fairy lights to the outside kitchen, and the genuine privacy. It's a little spot of heaven. Then add to that the remarkable kindness, helpful nature, ease of communication with our hosts and you have a truly special spot. I cant wait to come back and it will be as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for an amazing weekend, I couldnt have possibly asked nor wanted for anything more 🩷

Christian's home was more than we expected. Very clean and neat with all the extra amenities. The highlight of staying there was meeting Christian's Mom (Trudy). What a delightful, heartwarming, hardworking classy lady. Our fondest memory of staying in New Port Richey, Florida is Trudy.

Great Location

Our family attended a college graduation in Tampa and this was the perfect location. Away from the large city traffic, but close enough to drive in if we needed. Lots of shops and food choices nearby. We especially loved the pool and it was great taking early morning walks in the neighborhood (which has sidewalks). Everything was as pictured. Would definitely stay here again.

Christian and his mom were wonderful and great about responding to any questions we had! The property is beautiful, the beds are comfy, the house gives you plenty of privacy in the back! The landscaping in the backyard is gorgeous and tropical! The dock was a bonus because my husband and brother were able to catch bass back there! All in all a wonderful little spot!

Peaceful and Luxurious Lakeside Vacation Spot

We have enjoyed our stay at the Lakeside Retreat immensely. It is a fantastic destination to relax and serves as a perfect basecamp for adventures in the beautiful surroundings. The house is very spacious, very clean, and beautifully furnished. It comes with all the conveniences you can think of: a well-equipped kitchen, a gorgeous screened patio, a beautiful pool, an outdoor kitchen and shower, and many more perks. The backyard is breathtaking, with amazing plants and many lovely details. The property is connected to a deck on the canal/lake, where we enjoyed many evenings watching birds and turtles, and savoring the sunsets. Christian, the owner, was super friendly and responsive. He was truly determined to ensure that we had an amazing experience. We're looking forward to our next stay at the Lakeside Retreat!

Summer Vacation

Our stay at the lakeside retreat was everlasting! The host was very welcoming & thorough with providing details for our stay beforehand. Our kids enjoyed the pool and outdoor lounge areas every single day we stayed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and there was great convenience to the shopping markets. We also loved the paddle boat and since we brought our fishing rods we even caught a couple baby fish and released them back into the lake. We saw many turtles and other wildlife and enjoyed a nice morning walk around the neighborhood. The only suggestion we can make it adding a tv to the living room area and 2nd bedroom and also ensuring the other two tvs are constantly working. The guest bedroom also needs an updated mattress. We appreciate everything that was offered and would definitely recommend this property for families with children.

We have rented villa-type properties for over 20 years and, every so often, we get to stay in a place that is very "special" for its own reasons.We have stayed in properties of all shapes and sizes but our favourites have always been those in which we feel totally relaxed ...almost like being at home. Lakeside Retreat is such a place.Situated north west of Tampa, it is just a few miles from the fabulous beaches at both Clearwater and St. Pete - if you love miles of soft, pure white sand, then these are a must-visit.But if you don't fancy the drive, then out back is a good-sized (heated if required), very private swimming pool, with tables, chairs, sunloungers and barbeque. A path leads down to a jetty by the lakeside, where you can sit on swivel chairs to watch the awesome sunsets ...and the local alligators. No, we wouldn't advise a "quick dip" in the lake!Inside you'll find two very well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, a lounge and a dining/kitchen area which is equipped with everything (and we do mean "everything"), including not one, but two coffee machines!Leading off the kitchen is a lovely conservatory, which is a perfect place to wrap yourself up in a towel, to sit and after you get out of the jacuzzi.However, what REALLY made it for us was meeting the Hosts' mum, who lives just 5 minutes away and looks after the property on his behalf. What an amazing, lovely, helpful person she is. Thank you Trudy!

Perfect quaint and comfortable oasis for my family of four. The kids loved the pool and I loved the surprising number of wild birds all around the property. For this value, you’re not getting a Four Seasons, but you’re getting a fun, comfortable, clean space in a safe neighborhood that has lots of thoughtful touches and provides everything you need. Perfect if you’re not overly fussy and looking for a budget-friendly accommodation. The host also had excellent communication. The beds were also super comfortable.

“ A Birds Paradise “ Very relaxing, a great escape from hustle and bustle of everyday life. Everything is there to really relax. The beds were super cozy. Big TVs, two full bathrooms. The jacuzzi is warm and ready to use. The heated pool for that nightly swim. Fully stocked with all your essentials. Best, a private back yard like you’re on a Caribbean island. Very Covenant and close to grocery stores and the sponge docks to stroll and eat. We definitely will come back. Thanks Christian for being a great host and available for anything we needed!

What a peaceful spot. All the touches are so amazing. The kitchen is lacking for nothing, the back yard area is the best, we saw so much wild life. The pool is so private and sitting on the dock for sunset is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
