Water Front Home with Heated Pool & Hot Tub, 2 Master Suites & a Floating Dock

WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO NOW BE OFFERING A VIDEO TOUR OF OUR HOME! Please copy this link for the video tour of our beautiful waterfront home: https://youtu.be/HcNYx7Aodrw?feature=shared

This spacious 1900 square foot house is located on a 210' wide canal with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico along the north channel of the Gulf Harbors community in New Port Richey, FL. We often see Dolphins, Manatees, Tarpon, and other game fish behind our home.

We offer a large pool and hot tub (Pool & hot tub both can be heated for a fee and is ran by an automated system run by touch of a button). We have a 10' x 20' floating dock for you to utilize with your boat, or you can rent one nearby. From our dock you are less than 5 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. There is a boat ramp nearby if you choose to bring your own boat. Boat rental available on the north channel that will deliver a boat directly to the dock. Enjoy fishing, going to the the sand bar, restaurants on the water, and island hopping. Don't have a boat? Fishing from the dock is excellent as well.

In addition to numerous local restaurants, golf courses, stores, and attractions, we are only a few minutes away from Tarpon Springs, Tampa, and Clearwater Beach. Green Key Beach is a 5 minute car ride away that offers luxurious beautiful sun set views. Less than 3 miles away you can find charter boats and the SunCruz Casino Boat. Pontoon rentals, kayak rentals, and jet ski rentals are all close by. This home is located in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. It is perfect for walking, biking, and sunset strolls. FANTASTIC LOCATION!

The large pool-spa/patio faces the western sunset skies, reflecting over the double wide canal offering a beautiful backdrop. The house has an open floorplan with the kitchen-dining-living room equipped with tall sliders - all three areas provide great views out onto the pool and the waterfront. Create your favorite vacation meals in the fully equipped cooks kitchen and outdoor BBQ / grill area.

The very spacious 18'x22' Master bedroom suite features a tranquil private sitting area and large sliders out to the roof-covered patio and pool deck. It contains a king size bed, along with a daybed with two twin mattresses. The very roomy 14'x15' second bedroom combines with the main bath as second master suite. Our home also has an oversized 2-car garage with an electric opener. A patio fence encloses the pool area to provide privacy while preserving your great views from the pool and the hot tub. Eureka palm trees line the side of the house, providing you with your own private oasis.

Pristine gorgeous all-natural barrier islands begin right off Gulf Harbors from Anclote Key stringing south to Honeymoon, Caladesi, Ft Desoto onward to the FL Keys, rated in the nation's top best beaches. Cotee & Anclote river mouths 15 minutes to north & south have waterfront restaurants with live music & mooring docks! Excellent fishing, diving, water sports, shelling, and island exploring are right outside your door when you rent this home.

Absolutely perfect in every way! We loved how attentive & accommodating the owners Elesha & Joe were from the moment we booked. The pool & hot tub were clean & simple. Right on a large deep water canal. We fished & saw dolphins right from the dock. We had no issues, the beds were comfortable, & everything was clean. Elesha checked in to be sure we were enjoying ourselves. The location is prime for anywhere you'd like to visit. We will be back for sure!

Wonderful hosts, beautiful location, very well appointed and clean home. We vacationed here over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time. We took our boat and loved having it docked right behind the house. We explored Tarpon Springs, Anclote key, and nearby rivers and sandbars. The pool was refreshing after a day on the boat and then the hot tub under the stars was wonderful at night. This home was impeccably clean and had all we needed for our holiday meal prep and service. The hosts, Joe and Elesha, were always available and eager to help with information about the area. My husband and I live on the Atlantic coast side and so miss the beautiful beaches and water of the gulf. Hope to return soon!

This kitchen had more gadgets than we have at home, and we cook a lot! More impressive, everything was in good shape and of good quality. Most rentals do not provide good quality utensils. The furniture was also well above typical rental grade. The pool was great and we really enjoyed watching the sunset while sitting beside it. The beds we comfortable and the rooms were quite large. The neighborhood is terrific with waterways and easy access to the ocean. In fact, our charter captain (Fish N Crazy) picked us up at the dock, which was very convenient. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Our hostess provided tons of information and checked in regularly to ensure our stay was pleasant. I've never had such a good rental experience it felt more like family than a rental. HIGHLY recommended!

Beautiful Home with a Great location!

The Sharpe home is beautiful; don't hesitate on booking this one. We have stayed at several VRBO locations, and this is hands down one of the best. Elisha is amazing with her communication, the check in was so easy. The house is very clean and there are so many extras that they have considered to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. The location is amazing; the area is beautiful for walking and the pool and dock area are like an oasis. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. We fished every day off the dock and caught all different kinds of fish. We enjoyed just sitting in the pool area and watching the sunset. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.

Dear Sharpe Family, We had an amazing stay at your beautiful home. The adult (kids) 😊 loved fishing off the dock. It was wonderful. I absolutely loved the pool. At night the lights to the pool were great. The hot tub was amazing too❤️ It was so awesome sitting on the dock in the morning drinking my coffee. It was peaceful and surreal. We were fortunate to see dolphins off the deck❤️❤️ The house was just what our family needed. Thank you again! We can’t wait to come back.

This was the best rental we’ve ever stayed at! The house is just as amazing as the pictures show! Elesha was great at communicating. You can tell the Sharps spend time and effort keeping their house maintained.The kids spent hours swimming in the heated pool/hot tub! And it’s so nice to have the wide sliding doors/windows to see them while in the house. The kids loved spending time on the dock and catching random little fish. The kayaks were fun to have too. There are fishing rods to use- and we certainly used them daily!The house was stocked with literally everything. A ton of towels, pool toys and a cabinet full of games and a bin full of pool toys. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything. We made most of our meals at the house and had the random things you don’t always think to buy on vacation like salt, pepper, oil, etc. We were so fortunate to have excellent weather in January. A few places we went: Crystal River to swim with manatees, Honeymoon Island Beach, Key Vista Nature Center, where we found lots of hermit crabs and snails, Anclote Pier, Tarpon Springs. The area outside of Gulf Harbors is busy, but you have everything you could possibly want close by. From restaurants and grocery to nature centers and bait shops, you don’t need to travel far.Overall, there are zero complaints! We would stay here again if we ever did a trip to Florida again. Thank you Sharp Family for sharing your Florida home with us! We made memories that will last a lifetime!

Anniversary Trip

We had a great time at the Sharp's home. A very clean house stocked with everything you can think of and then some. It is in a beautiful area, right off the Gulf, on a deep water canal amidst beautiful homes and boats. Their pool and hot tub are awesome. My wife and I enjoyed coffee by the pool watching the palm trees moving with the constant breeze off the Gulf, and then seeing incredible sunsets at the end of the day. It was great taking our boat out to Anclote Island. Very close to Tarpon Springs and the sponge docks. Enjoying the Greek community there is a must. All of this coming from extremely nice and helpful owners. Had a blast!

Best location -hands down!

We have stayed in quite a few VRBO's, and this is by far THE BEST! First, as they say, location, location, location! This beautiful, emaculate home is on a large canal just a few minutes from the Gulf! We kayaked the canal in the morning and chilled at the pool and dock in the evening. And there was so much to do in the area during the day. The house is the cleanest rental we've ever stayed in. And the owners, Joe and Elesha, are fantastic! They responded so quickly to any issues (which really were questions, not issues) and were so kind! If you're considering another place to stay in this area for your vacation, don't! You WILL NOT REGRET staying here. The house, pool, hot tub, dock, kayaks, create this paradise that is amazing!

Well....sitting here in the airport already missing my afternoon nap on the pool raft! This was our very first VRBO rental and let me just say i couldnt have made a better choice. Elesha makes everything so easy andmakes you feel so welcome. The house is just perfect. We fished off the dock and set crab pots, spent many hours out by the pool floating and watching the sunset in the hot tub. Mornings were so peaceful there with our morning coffee. The house is so well stocked, and the most comfortable beds! We visited nearby Tarpon Springs and did early morning jet skiing at John's Pass. Restaurant recommendations were spot on and tried to fit in as many as we could. Thanks so much, we cannot wait to return.

Restful vacation

Great place for a wonderful Florida vacation. The home is very spacious and having our very own private pool and hot tub was the icing on the cake. Spent most of our time poolside. My husband brought his fishing kayak and was able to keep it in the water tied to the dock so he could just jump in every day and go fishing. He caught mangrove snapper and provided a wonderful meal for us. We enjoyed visiting Tarpon Springs which was close by. This home is located near 3 nice beaches - Sunset Beach, Fred Howard beach, and Honeymoon Island. We saw dolphin, stingrays and sea turtle in the canal. Located in a nice and quiet subdivision. Secluded from neighbors with fencing and landscaping. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to go back next year.

Making Memories

From the minute we walked through the front door we knew that we chose the right place. Easy access on arrival as well as an easy departure when leaving. The home is bright and open. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal and then some. The pool was my granddaughters favorite place to be…from the moment she got up to late at night. The dock area was great for fishing and watching all the different types of fish in the canal. We did enjoy using the kayaks provided as well. Our host Elesha was text or call away with knowledge of the area, places to eat and things to see and do. I was impressed at how quickly she responded and with such kindness. The beds were comfy and the bathroom stocked with ample towels, washcloths and hand towels. Towels were provided as well for the pool or to take to the beach. A smoker, grill and indoor Jen air grill are available to use also. My family and I relaxed and made some great memories and will definitely return in the near future

Perfect location!

We absolutely loved this place. My husband and I stayed here for 2 1/2 weeks and our 19 year old son and one of his buddies joined us for several days. The location couldn't have been more perfect. It's on a peaceful canal with easy access to the gulf. We rented a boat and went out every day fishing or just cruising around looking at all the beautiful homes. The owners of this rental property are fabulous. They are so kind and offered great recommendations for things to do and places to go. One of our favorites was Hellas Bakery in Tarpon Springs. Their pastries are incredible! The property itself was wonderful. We enjoyed the heated pool and the hot tub. The boys enjoyed the kayaks the owners have available for use. The kitchen is very well stocked. There isn't anything we needed for cooking. The owners thought of everything. The king size beds are very comfortable with comfy linens and blankets. The beach towels and bathroom towels are very nice as well. We hated to leave, but this is definitely a place we would come back to.

Sharp house

We loved every minute of our stay at this gem of a property, this immaculate spacious home exceeded our expectations. The sun was shining everyday of our stay. Our family loved the backyard and spent most of our time there. The pool and hot tub were amazing, just the right temperature. We enjoyed many meals outside with the use of the clean Weber grill. The floating dock was a great space to watch some manatees swim by and watch a sunrise and cast a fishing line or two. We visited some sand bars and islands throughout the days and enjoyed returning to swim in pool. At night the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The house has TVs with premium cable and internet. The bathrooms are nice, one has a soaker tub with jets. Plenty of towels are provided both for the pool and bathrooms. The bedrooms are roomy. The beds are super comfortable a true restful sleep. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any meal. We ate at local restaurants, recommended by the hosts that never made us a bad meal. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. The hosts, Joe & Elesha were very gracious and accommodating to our family‘s needs.

Kitchen was well equipped, floors were easy to trip on because they were at different levels, they need to be fixed or have small ramps before someone gets hurt and calls their lawyer. Back door was very difficult to open and close, we had to go out the front door and walk around the house to go out on the boat when we needed to lock the house. There were essentially no lights on the dock which made it difficult when coming in after dark. Pillows need to be replaced. The light over the outside table does not work. The remote control didn’t work, we had to buy batteries. Fix all this stuff and perhaps we’ll rent it again. Sorry I can’t give you a better review.

Vitamin "Sea" For The Soul At Gulf Harbors

We have stayed at many beautiful vacation homes in the past but never expected to actually LOVE a home as much as we loved Gulf Harbors! We went there with plans to do many things but only left the house a few times for some dining & shopping. The house had everything. We spent countless hours out by the pool & on the dock with our family and friends! We were so happy to see dolphins & all the beautiful fish & birds that call Gulf Harbors their home too!! The kitchen was equipped with everything you will need, from the utensils to the blender to make those delicious tropical drinks. We enjoyed the bbq they had there & grilled steaks, burgers, hot dogs & sausages! I went there stating I am NOT cooking & then soon discovered why would you want to go anywhere when you could be sitting poolside on the canal enjoying the beautiful sunsets. There are two bedrooms & each has a en suite bathroom, which is a big plus when you are traveling with family & friends. I think our FAVORITE room in the house was the beautiful dining room which opens to the outdoor heated pool and hot tub area that overlooks the canal, which we all totally enjoyed everyday! The large dining table was perfect for our group & the four chair hi top table also provided was wonderful for sitting & having your morning coffee. As far as our Hosts, Eleasha & Joe Sharp they don't come any better & they couldn't do enough for us. We checked in pretty late on our first night there. I had a few questions & sent Elesha a text at 12:30 am & my questions were answered by 6 am the next morning. If we needed anything she was ALWAYS available to help us. The moment I spoke with her about renting their home, I knew she was honest, genuine and someone I could trust. Her recommendations for dining & things to do were spot on. My husband loves to fish & Joe Sharp had that covered for sure! Elesha even sent pictures of some of the "BIG" fish he & his boys had caught. He had recommendations for fishing charters as well (they would even pick you up at their dock!) We are all looking forward to our next stay in their beautiful home. The only downside to this house was that we had to leave!! Thanks for everything Elesha & Joe, we will be back! JoAnn & Carter Biggs Long Island, NY

Great Florida Getaway!

We had two couples stay in this home for a little bit of R&R from the northern cold. This house was clean and had all the odds and ends we needed for a week stay. The renters were there every bit of the way if we needed anything. The gave us vacation tips on places to eat drink, shop and beach. My favorite part of the house was the huge sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor space and down to the canal. The heated pool and hot tub were great and aloud us days to stay in and drink and BBQ in the Florida sun. I would recomend the Sharp house and would rent again!

It’s a really nice house in a great location

We had a wonderful time staying at the Sharp’s Florida home. Everything about the house was nice and clean. The heated pool was awesome since we went in November and the weather was cooler. It did take 2 days for the pool to warm up to temp but the hot tub is perfect in less than 30 minutes. If your going during colder weather I would recommend to ask to have the pool heated up prior to your arrival. The sharps were very responsive and always a phone call/text away if we needed anything. They shared their recommendations of places to eat which was very helpful. We were able to take their kayaks out into the bay and we had a great time on the water. We will be renting their house again if it’s available when we want to go back to Florida next year.
