Tampa Bay's South Shore Pool Home in Tampa

Lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with extra large screened in pool and patio area.  4 lounge chairs for sunbathing, and 2 seperate sitting areas with 4 chairs for each to enjoy the dining outside.  Gas barbeque is large and easy to operate.

Hardwood floors throughout the home with the exception of bathrooms.  Great for allergy suffers as I have no carpet, just 1 small area rug in the living room.

Pets are accepted -- I do charge an additional deposit of $200.00 and a $100.00 additional cleaning fee.  For stays longer than 2 weeks the additional cleaning fee is $200.00 due to the amount of time required to ensure all evidence of a pet stay is removed -- as the next guests may not have any pets.

The home is located in a subdivsion just outside of Tampa in Riverview.  The community itself has 2 pools, as well as a basketball court and play area located in a county park which is located within the subdivision.

Golf -- The Summerfield golf course is located just under 3 miles away and is opened to the public, they have discounted rates offered during the day, so please don't forget to ask about the affordable times to go golfing.

Lay of the Land: Soft sand, emerald waters and shady pines await you at TripAdvisor's #1 Beach for 2008, which is made up of five separate islands. Ride, skate or jog on the 7-mile paved trail, or canoe and kayak through lush mangroves. Rover can roam at the Paw Playground and frolic in the surf at Dog Beach, while the kids explore the canons and jail cells of the old fort.

Little Known Facts: Built for the Spanish-American War, the fort was finished after the war ended and never fired a hostile shot. Fans of the hit television series "Prison Break" might recognize the park, since it acted as a stand in for the country of Panama for several episodes in the 2007-2008 season. Fort De Soto is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Why You Should Go:  It's America's Best Beach of 2005 and 2008, you can camp directly on the water, fish from two free piers 24 hours a day, splash the boat, rent bikes---you name it. Just go!
