Crystal Beach Hotels with Hot Tub

Our beach home is a stunning combination rarely found. Crystal Beach is old Florida - eclectic and friendly. We're on the water, with our own dock. W are a block from the community park with its own beach (natural, not a bikini beach, great for little kids and dogs) and 20 minutes to Honeymoon Island State Park Beach (one of the best wide, white sand beaches in the world). We're 35ish min from Clearwater Beach which is top-rated beach / boardwalk area.You can't help but be recharged in this magical spot. We have a friendly community, a great yard, a beach at low tide, a private dock, and AMAZING views. See dolphins, manatees, sting-rays in the water. Watch Osprey feeding their babies in the nest. Great fishing. Once we had a bald eagle land in our yard and we always see Oscar, a heron, who loves sardines.This is our residence but we spend a lot of time on our farm, out of state and, frankly, we love our little spot so much that love sharing it. Because this is our primary residence, there are are some of our personal things around, like photos of my grandkids, but this also means our house is fully stocked with towels, linens, bikes, morning coffee, and condiment, so you can get started vacationing as soon as you arrive. We have three large bedrooms. The master looks over the gulf and has sublime sunsets. The downstairs bedrooms have two beds each (one has a set of full sleep number beds and the other has two twins). There is an office desk in the guest bedroom as well as in the master. There is also an oversized monitor you are welcome to use with your laptop. Build a little fire in the chimenea and watch the sunset during a romantic dinner on the patio on our Crate and Barrel outdoor dining table.Walk for breakfast at Emily's or ride your bike to the best coffee shop ever in nearby Old Palm Harbor (Lulu's). This area is great for all kinds of diets and food needs. The Ozona Pig is a bike ride away for amazing bbq, as is Fireside Pizza. Ohana (a healthy Hawaii-inspired cafe complete with hula dancers) and Rawk Star Cafe (Raw, Vegan, Gluten free) are minutes by car. Innisbrook golf resort is 5 minutes away. Movies are 7 minutes away. Clearwater Beach is 35 minutes. We have two kayaks and 4+ bikes. You might enjoy renting a golf cart during your visit. Our dock is brand new, with a rail! Our boat is ancient (and not available for renters). There are tons of fishing charters and dolphin charters in the area, but frankly, fishing from our dock and watching dolphins from the kayak is pretty special. There are lots of options in Clearwater Beach for tours, but our local marina is The Ozona Fish Camp.On another personal note, our TV/Stereo/Surround Sound system is an UNenthusiastic partner in your pursuit of tv entertainment. When you arrive, we're happy to walk you through the system, which has always been buggy (we have come to accept this). We've got local cable and the TV has a Chromecast device for easy streaming. But other than the Chromecast, little about this system is predictable. That's not why you're in FL, anyway, right? We do have a smart TV in the guest room.About pets:Pets allowed: limit 3 total.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.NO TODDLERS OR NEW WALKERS.
