**Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the pool heated?
A: Yes, the pool is heated. The heater automatically activates when the water temperature drops below 85°F.

Q2: What is the typical pool temperature?
A: From March to October, the pool temperature is maintained at a minimum of 85°F (30°C). During the winter months (November to February), the temperature typically ranges between 80°F and 85°F (27–30°C), depending on the weather. However, during rare instances when air temperatures fall below 55°F (12°C) in winter, maintaining pool temperature may become challenging. Fortunately, Florida's winter days seldom dip that low.

Q3: Is there any extra charge for pool heating?
A: No, pool heating is included in your stay at no additional cost. We use a powerful heat pump to heat the pool but cannot overcome extreme weather conditions.

Q4: How far is the home from the Tampa International Airport?
A: The home is approximately 40 minutes from Tampa International Airport, depending on traffic conditions.

Q5: Is the beach nearby?
A: Yes, Sunset Beach and Howard Park Beach are both just a 10-minute drive away. Clearwater Beach, known for its stunning views, is 30 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic. Please note that there are no beaches within walking distance.

Q6: Is there fishing gear available?
A: Yes, we provide fishing gear at the property for your convenience. If you need additional equipment, there are two local tackle shops within a 5-minute drive, and a Walmart Supercenter less than 10 minutes away.

Q7: Can we rent a boat, kayaks, etc.?
A: We don’t personally offer boat or kayak rentals, there are kayaks at the property that are not for rent due to liability reasons. Fortunately, there are several nearby businesses that provide rentals for boats, kayaks, and other watercraft, giving you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water.

Q8: What is the guest registration policy?
A: For safety and security, all guests entering the home during your stay must be listed on the reservation. Please make sure the correct number of guests is registered to avoid any issues.

We had an amazing time. The house was perfectly clean and organized. The grill right by the water was my dream. We came after the hurricanes. Most places were closed, as well as the beaches. We found the the local places that were open and they greatly appreciated us, as most places were struggling to stay open due to lack of income. The water was behind the house was black and full of debris due to the storms, but we still saw turtles, birds and fish. However, the pool was on point. My kids used it everyday of the stay. Weeki Wachee was amazing, got to swim with manatees there and the water was incredible.

My family and I had an amazing stay here. Smita is an amazing host and super accommodating from the very start. Check in was easy, the house was comfortable, we really enjoyed eating outside during the stay there. The pool was great with the lights turning on at night. The house is also really close to a lot of beaches, and local things to do. We'd highly recommend people to stay here when they visit.

This place is all about the POOL and waterfront views. Watching the sunset over the river with the cool pool lights was a one-of-a-kind experience. Sadly, no dolphins or manatees for us. But we did catch and release two small blue crabs and saw a lizard go for a swim. Oh, and Smita definitely went above and beyond for us. When we asked if she had a hand mixer so we could bake some cinnamon rolls she got one for us. Now just that's worth 5 stars right there

Smita’s place is as perfectly described and so much more! We loved watching the dolphins and manatees and fishing off of the deck, as well as spending all of our days in the pool! Smita provided anything and everything you can think of which made this place so much more enjoyable and a restful vacation spot! We were not far from restaurants or beaches either. Definitely a perfect spot. Our family cannot wait to book here again!

We absolutely loved staying at this Airbnb. The pool was FANTASTIC and seeing dolphins and manatees in the river was thrilling. The home was an open layout and plenty of room for my family of 5. The beds were extra comfortable and the bathroom shower had unique settings to make each shower enjoyable. The large TV in the living room was a wonderful way to wind down. The kitchen had everything you need and then some. The washer & dryer was great to use. Loved that everything in the house was labeled. Close to nice restaurants & beaches. We would definitely rent again! Smita was excellent!

We have made memories as a family that will last a lifetime. The peaceful waterfront location and pool was so enjoyable. We got to see a large amount of wildlife including dolphins, manatees, sting rays and redfish. We really enjoyed the house!! It's one of the cleanest Airbnbs I have ever stayed in and we travel ALOT. Smita the host was also AMAZING! She is always responsive and prompt in any question I had. A place you do not want to miss out on! We will most definitely be back!
