Pool, Privacy & Family Fun! Mom's Manatee House, New Sale Pricing!

Highlights of your experience include a home that is beautifully remodeled, and comfortably sleeps 8 adults, up to 11 total. This lovely, private location (8 acres total) boasts a 3-acre yard, outdoor custom built "grillhaus", lanai-enclosed pool, and many special amenities you won't expect to see elsewhere. An 8 ft. picnic table near the "grillhaus" provides a picnic style outdoor venue that you will enjoy amongst the shady oaks. (Wi-fi enabled) keyless entry provides personalized, easy and secure access to the home.
A newly added home office (desk, printer and supplies) gives you the option to work remotely if required.
Although not waterfront, this local region is famous for manatees in hot-spring fed rivers, kayaking, state parks teeming with local wildlife with easy access walkways, world class scalloping, and kiddie-friendly gulf beaches.
A GOLFER’S PARADISE, 3 golf courses are in town, and another 28 are within 20 miles.
Our “Floridian Getaway" with an open floor plan enables the kitchen, living room and dining room to serve as a comfortable “great room” for family time. There is a large screen Smart TV in the great room area, as well as TVs in the master bedroom and larger guest bedroom. A fifth generation Alexa Dot provides for your favorite music surrounding you while you vacation. It resides in the living room, on a portable battery base, allowing for poolside use.

The kitchen features granite countertops and a large, center island "butcher block"-style food preparation area. Large appliances include electric range, oven and refrigerator (with icemaker), as well as small appliances: toaster, coffee maker, and blender. Food preparation utensils and dining service for 8 are provided.

A screened lanai with a heated pool (with a safety fence for young children), "grillhaus" and lounge chairs are adjacent to the living room through French doors. The large yard is surrounded by trees on the west, north and east sides providing wonderful privacy.

The sunroom is a perfect location to enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee. It is surrounded by glass windows on three sides. This space doubles as game room, with foosball table, many family board games and puzzles available for your leisure time enjoyment.

There is a carport, single large vehicle-sized. There is also a secure 26’ x 24’ garage which is optionally available for parking upon request for an additional fee. There is plenty of uncovered parking for additional vehicles and your boat(s). (Check the satellite view on Google maps to see how much parking space we have!)

The master and "second" bedroom have queen beds. The "third" bedroom has sturdy (singles) bunks. A futon in the sunroom can fold down to a double-sized bed. In addition to these (up to) 8 adult sleeping accommodations, an L-shaped sofa has 18 linear feet of comfort; air mattress is onsite, and a pack n play provides sleeping options for the youngsters.

The master bathroom has granite countertop, tiled flooring, dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The second bathroom (granite countertop) has both bath and shower.

For your (and our) peace of mind we have several security cameras onsite. These outside cameras are positioned in order to provide security while maintaining your poolside privacy.

Our “Florida Jewel” is located about 95 miles from the Disney vacation attractions and is about an hour north of fabulous Tampa-area attractions, including Busch Gardens and Clearwater Beach, recently ranked the #1 beach in the nation.

Please note that climate factors occasionally impact pool usability; review the pool section of Guest Instructions which are emailed to each guest 4 days prior to check in date and also available upon request. Parental supervision of children using (or near) the pool is required at all times.

Great vacation
Country setting with lots of privacy, played music by the pool, cooked out on the grill including fish we caught. Enjoyed the pool. Big yard, played ball, corn hole. Seen the resident gopher turtle “Dusty” several times. Went to the beach, trail walking and lots of shopping places. Third year staying at the location. Will be back next year.

Spring Break...belated Merry Christmas!
We had an awsome week. The house was clean, comfortable, very well supplied, and convenient to area attractions. The pool was an added bonus and used many, many times. We enjoyed the area attractions and restaurants, but also quiet times doing puzzles and playing in the yard. We would love to have a return visit😊

Nice stay!
It was a nice stay. Description was accurate. Kids really enjoyed pool. It was a short drive to Florida Cracker Monkey Bar and many other local hot spots. We felt the house could have been a little cleaner since we pay a cleaning fee but overall it was nice. Ladies seem to notice overlooked areas more than others. There were a lot of extra towels, beach toys, floats etc. Kitchen was fully stocked with whatever we needed

Great 2 month stay!
We stayed at Mom's Manatee House for 2 months this winter. The house is spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to have a place to themselves or gather together as a family. Everything we needed was provided. The heated pool was a wonderful plus! Any issues we encountered during our stay were handled quickly and efficiently. We would definitely stay again!

It's our home away from home!
This is the third year we've stayed at this house. From the first time we stepped in the door, it felt like home and still does! We love the quiet and privacy of the neighborhood, and being close to most anything we want or need. Big thanks to the owners and manager for keeping us posted on the condition of the area after Idalia!! Vacation came off without a hitch! And the family was unanimous... we want to return next year!

Ample room
Nice country setting with lots of room for the 11 of us. We had a great time and made so many family memories. They had all the amenities we needed. Loved the pool. Scalloping wasn’t that great but the springs were awesome. Kids played in the springs and we came back and enjoyed the pool. Thanks for letting us stay at your home.

Centrally located
Centrally located to several great day adventures. Air conditioning was noted to not be working on Thursday after arriving Wednesday night. Was fixed after our departure the following Wednesday. Concerns with cleanliness, lack of cleaning supplies and toiletries were addressed with homeowner who was addressing with 3rd party cleaning company to resolve future issues.
