A Little Slice of Key West on Lake Tarpon - Kayak and fish from the back yard

Fish for your dream bass right from the back yard of this Lake Tarpon canal-front cottage. Bring your own boat/jet ski or use our kayaks to explore Lake Tarpon, which is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing. Spend your nights snuggling up by the fire pit or relaxing in the hammock in your backyard oasis. Centrally located, the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, and the beaches of Honeymoon Island are all less than 15 minutes away. Tampa Intl Airport is 30 minutes away.

Wonderful

We enjoyed the best stocked Vrbo we ever stayed in. Our host had thought of everything we could ever need and had it stocked from fishing gear, beach chairs, bug spray, plastic baggies, a whole coffee bar, and so much more. We loved the adorable house and the fun dock. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great Weekend Getaway!

Perfect house for a long weekend getaway for two couples! The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was very cute and well decorated to fit the Key West theme. The owners had thought of everything you could need. The well stocked coffee bar was a wonderful touch. The property and house were very well maintained and clean. Communication from the owners was great the whole time. We could not have asked for a better VRBO experience.

nice stay

Well equip kitchen, beds sleep great, and bedrooms are nice. Very good communication. Only downside was my wife bumped her head on the metal pipe shelf next to kitchen table when getting up from table. Lots of extras in garage, fishing poles and tackle, kayaks and more. Look forward to renting again next year during the Valspar Golf Tourament.

Spring Break Getaway

We had a wonderful vacation-this home was perfect for our family of 4. It is close to everything…on the lake for the fishermen in the group, close to beaches & other attractions for the explorers. Plenty of restaurants to choose from-we enjoyed taking the boat over to the Tarpon Turtle for a couple of meals. The property owner was awesome to deal with…she was very quick to respond to any questions I had before traveling as well as giving recommendations since it was our first time visiting the area. The home was comfortable and well stocked, just as described. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone traveling to Lake Tarpon. We would also recommend Gulf Coast Expeditions…we went on a manatee snorkeling trip with them & had a blast!

It's a cozy home away from home

The owner prepared everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing was that the kitchen countertop was not super clean and there was some spill not cleaned in the fridge.

Home away from home.

The home was very well stocked and well taken care of. We were there for a month and had one issue and it was taken care of the same day. Quiet area and loved sitting out back. Close to anything you need.
