"Stay Salty" Florida Pool/Canal Home, 4 bed, 3.5 bath, bring boat!

Experience the old Florida waterfront lifestyle in style! This lovely canal-front home has 4 bedrooms and 3 ½ bathrooms, and a fun, coastal relaxing vibe. With waterfront heated pool, private boat ramp, white sand beach-like area, no area has been overlooked!

This remodeled coastal home welcomes you as soon as you drive up. The unique lot is wrapped by a deep water canal that leads directly out to the Gulf of Mexico (3 minutes by boat). We have provided many extras for you to have a fun and relaxing stay, whether you are looking to make family memories, longing for a fishing charter getaway, or are simply looking to experience the Florida waterfront lifestyle!

This 1800 square foot home boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, and can sleep up to 12. Between the waterfront heated pool, private boat ramp, white sand beach area, floating dock, fire pit area, new 2 person swing, rocking chairs, picnic tables and outdoor dining tables, there are many options to gather, relax and live the Florida Dream Life.

You can even bring one boat (up to 24 feet)! All Guests bringing a boat must sign a waiver before checking in, and guests with a boat between 20-24 feet will be charged a one-time $50 boat fee. You must let us know the type and length of boat in advance of booking, or directly/immediately after booking. The deep-water canal leading to the open Gulf of Mexico is wide and deep enough to accommodate a larger boat; the canal is 5 to 8 feet deep, depending on the tide.

If you do not have a boat but would like to enjoy some time on the water, you can purchase a boat excursion! American Fishing Outfitters provides custom boating/fishing excursions and will pick our guests up from the dock in back of "Stay Salty".

If you would like to try your hand at Scalloping, Pasco County Scalloping season for 2025 is July 10 through August 18.

As you relax at this beautiful waterfront property, don't be surprised to see dolphins and/or manatees traversing near the dock during the cooler months. You could, if so desired, book with our preferred fishing charter and the boat captain will pick you up right at the dock in your back yard. It is only 3 minutes out to the open Gulf of Mexico! You could then enjoy your catch of the day or visit any number of the waterfront restaurants/bars in the area.

Again, this is why we HIGHLY recommend purchasing good travel insurance. There should be a few policies offered towards the end of your booking process. One of which should allow you to cancel for any reason (CFAR). However, it is important for you, to do your proper research in confirming what exclusions, if any, exist for that particular policy. If none are offered to you, you can always contact another 3rd party travel insurance company. Date changes, rain checks, or compensation will also not be options under these circumstances!
