About this property

Your Waterfront Home Away from Home

AN IDEAL WATERFRONT LOCATION for your extended vacation!

Everyone knows LOCATION is the most important aspect of any vacation decision. This 3 bedroom / 2 bath, pool and waterfront home is ideally located in a safe, quiet residential neighborhood on St. Pete Beach, recently named the #1 Beach in the USA and #5 Beach in the world by TripAdvisor travelers.

Centrally located in the desirable Three Palms Point Community, there are restaurants, stores, and of course, the beach, in close proximity.

This gorgeous home comfortably sleeps 6 with 1 King, 1 Queen, and 2 Twin Beds. It features plenty of room to spread out in 1,920 sq. ft. of heated and air conditioned space, brand new in Fall, 2021.

Our spacious, well-designed home is ideal for guests who need to incorporate work, whether as a full-time remote employee, simply checking in to your office sporadically, or even as a remote location in paradise for solo pursuits.

High speed WiFi is available throughout the property, allowing guests to set up their work station virtually anywhere on-site, including on the pool deck overlooking the canal.

Careful though, your co-workers may become jealous if you are on a Zoom call with gorgeous waterviews over your shoulder.

Both the Master Bedroom and Queen Bedroom have sliding glass doors overlooking the pool deck.

As you approach this one-story home, you’ll notice the professional lush landscaping. When you enter, you’ll see the beauty of the house’s split plan layout with its pool and canal visible outside the Florida room’s sliding glass door.

Take two steps to the left, and you will be in the spacious, open, and airy living room, dining room, and kitchen area, also overlooking the pool deck. Relax while watching your favorite shows on our new 65” smart TV, enabled for cable or your streaming provider.

Speaking of television, there are two more sets in the Florida room and the Master BR, which will provide plenty of options for visitors to watch favorite shows without conflict.

Kitchen features brand new appliances, cookware, glassware, plates, and utensils (as of Summer 2021). You can eat inside at the dining room table with seating for 6, casually at the granite kitchen counter, or at the outside patio table overlooking the water.

The pantry includes many appliances such as blender, citrus juicer, crock pot, heating tray, and , of course, a coffee maker! The linen closet is filled with sheets, bath towels and beach towels.

Out back, the expansive, partially-covered pool deck is perfect for relaxing, entertaining and leads to the pool and the 12x12’ sitting dock.

If you enjoy barbecue, there is a new propane grill with 3 burners, smoker-option, and all the hardware the grill-meister will need. You will love dining outdoors under the covered terrace.

On the opposite side of the house is a second bedroom overlooking the pool, a full bathroom, third bedroom, and a dedicated indoor laundry room.

The large west-facing pool deck offers a spectacular waterfront view which changes throughout the day depending on weather, lighting, and time of day.

ACTIVITIES & THINGS TO DO
With direct sun heating the pool, you can enjoy swimming nearly year-round, though it may be chilly in the dead of Florida's winter. For instance, in late September, the pool temperature was 85 degrees - refreshing, without it feeling cold, even to lifelong Floridians.

For beach lovers, an easy 1/2 mile walk will bring you to the white sands and warm waters of St. Pete Beach, highly regarded as the "Sunset Capital of Florida."

Located in popular Pinellas County, this home is just minutes from trendy downtown St. Petersburg, with all its museums, galleries, craft breweries, and nightlife.

If you enjoy spectator sports, professional baseball is just 8 miles away, with NFL football and NHL hockey a short drive into Tampa.

Water sports of ALL types (fishing, sailing, boating, Jet Skiing, kayaking, swimming, etc.) are available close by.

If you are a participant in endurance sports, there are plenty of opportunities to run, cycle, and swim in organized competitions or join local group sessions.

Outdoor photographers LOVE our little corner of paradise with sunsets, sunrises, marine life and plentiful parks available to capture moments of natural beauty, particularly at Ft. De Soto Park, just a few miles to the south.

St. Pete Beach offers a pleasant mix of a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops featuring coastal-living items.

Day trips are easily accessible to the sponge docks of Tarpon Springs, Busch Gardens, Disney World, and Universal Studios. And just a bit farther across Florida on the Interstate, you can access historic St. Augustine and / or the Kennedy Space Center to witness a launch into outer-space.

This is PERFECT for anyone who loves the water, beaches and is seeking the solitude of a private home away from the crowds.

TRULY A GREAT OPTION FOR YOUR VACATION AT AN IDEAL LOCATION!

Perfect for working away from home
This home was perfect for what we needed and were looking for. We needed a quiet and relaxing place where we could work, but that was close to the hustle and bustle and convenient to lots of shopping and restaurants, highway to downtown, etc. The owner was great, very flexible to our needs. It isn't super high end luxurious, but it is clean, comfy and home like.

Lovely Home
Lovely home with kind, responsive owners. We stayed two months and loved every day. The house had all we needed and much more; the location on the bay, perfect. The community center was a mile away where we played pickleball. Saint Petersburg area has loads of recreational and cultural activities. Make sure to see the Florida Botanical Gardens. Thank you Rya and Chris

Convenient and homey
This house was wonderful. Cozy and clean. It felt like home immediately. Sunset views were breathtaking. Proximity to everything including hundreds of A+ restaurants was wonderful. We just love Saint Pete Beach and all of Pinellas County. The neighbors were great and the fence kept everything private. Communication with host was perfect. Just a wonderful month.

Charming waterfront home, centrally located, exceptional hosts - great St. Pete Beach experience.
Comfortable, clean, convenient waterfront home in a quiet neighborhood blocks from the beach, restaurants, and local retailers - ideal for an extended stay, as described. Chris and Rya are easily accessible and thoughtful hosts who proactively provided great recommendations to enjoy all that St. Pete Beach and the surrounding area has to offer. This home is complete with the essentials (plus new grill, books, puzzles, beach chairs!) and includes weekly landscaping and pool maintenance. Enjoyed the pool and backyard sunsets - look forward to returning soon!

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Rya Lauber

Host profile image
We, Rya and Chris Lauber, are your hosts.

We have lived in Florida since 1990 just a few miles from this property. We are self employed as race directors of local running events from 5K up to marathon distance. Our close proximity and flexible schedule allows us to rapidly respond to any of your needs - by phone, text, or in person.

Our background as race directors hosting several thousand of athletes each year has provided us with decades of customer service with diverse runners from every walk of life.

Rya's prior experience and trained eye as Creative Director for a local marketing firm with national clients proved invaluable as she oversaw a complete redecorating of this home in summer, 2021.

Chris is detail-oriented, while also being focused on the big picture after 40+ years as an event creator. He has also worked as a professional freelance photographer allowing him to bring his experience to shoot all the photos in this listing.

Together, we have created a warm, welcoming home for your vacation with just about everything you might need to enjoy your stay.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our beautiful home.

Why they chose this property

This was Chris' Mom's home for 25 years until she passed away in 2020. Initially, we worked towards selling it, but we turned down a bona-fide offer in February 2021.

We decided to keep this beautiful waterfront home in the family, with an eye towards it being our retirement home in a few years, and possibly passing it on to our daughters when the appropriate time comes.

In the interim, we welcome guests seeking a warm, comfortable home away from home. We provide a wonderful option to avoid the hassles and high expenses of staying in a high-end resort, while sharing common areas like elevators, swimming pools, and dealing with parking lots.

Our well-stocked kitchen allows you the option to cook up your favorite meals and avoid dining out for every meal while on vacation.
