Notes on accommodation
Lake Tarpon Villas is a modern, stylish, quiet, low-level apartment complex with direct access to seven-mile long Lake Tarpon (Florida's second largest lake) which is great for bass fishing and water skiing. Both apartments look out onto water, boardwalks and boat docks. A notable feature is the peace and tranquility of the view, especially with the palm trees lit up at night! Both apartments can use our gas-grill-BBQ which is on the decking right by the water. Both apartments have recently been refurbished to a high standard to make your stay a comfortable and relaxing one. They come complete with all vital appliances and utensils together with Cable TV, free high-speed Internet and telephone with free local calls.
Next-door to the complex is The Best Western Hotel, which is available for drinks or a meal at the Hemingway's Restaurant, and you can look back from there to your apartment across the water. Just over the road is a multiplex cinema.
Outside
There is an open-air swimming pool (shared) with solar panels which heats the pool in the winter and cools the water in the summer, Jacuzzi (shared), sun loungers and picnic tables where you can relax alongside the boat docks and waterside. Both apartments can use our gas-grill-BBQ which is on the decking right by the water. Next-door is a boat yard from which pontoon boats can be hired and docked adjacent to the apartments at our own private mooring.

Owner profile
About the owner
We are a family from England (United Kingdom) although we also try and stay in our apartments in Florida as much as we possibly can!

Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We wanted to be in the busy Clearwater Beach area of Florida - there is so much to do and see that one vacation is simply not enough.
It is also easy enough - 90 minutes drive - to get to all the theme parks in Orlando but we wanted a home in a relaxing and homely part of Florida where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of watching the sun go down on some of the best white sandy beaches in the whole of America.
Unique benefits of the property
We are superbly located on the water of Lake Tarpon, you can fish off the decking and see eagles and many other beautiful birds. It is peaceful and tranquil yet the area we are in is full of malls, shops and excellent restaurants - and just minutes from beaches that have been voted the very best in the whole of America (and don't forget that includes Hawaii).
