Bayside Retreat w/ Pool & Media Room

Bayside Retreat | Private Pool • Media Room • Minutes to the Coast

Welcome to Bayside Retreat, a thoughtfully renovated Florida escape designed for comfort, connection, and relaxation. Tucked away in Apollo Beach, this single-level home offers the perfect balance of privacy and proximity—just minutes from the Manatee Viewing Center, Apollo Beach Park, and a short drive to Florida’s most beautiful Gulf beaches.

Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a work-from-anywhere stay, or a coastal recharge, Bayside Retreat invites you to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of Florida living.

A Private Outdoor Oasis
Step into your screened-in lanai, where indoor comfort meets outdoor relaxation. Spend your mornings lounging poolside, afternoons grilling on the gas BBQ, and evenings unwinding under the covered lanai after a swim in the private pool (5` deep)—available year-round. The fully fenced backyard offers peace of mind for you and your family.

Designed for Comfort & Connection

Inside, the home is bright, open, and intentionally laid out with two separate living areas, making it easy for everyone to relax their own way.

• The main living room features plush seating and a welcoming atmosphere for conversation or quiet downtime. • The dedicated media room delivers a cinematic experience with a 75` flat-screen TV and surround sound, perfect for movie nights or game days.

The fully equipped kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts to home-cooked dinners, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Keurig and standard coffee maker. A spacious dining table comfortably seats six.

Restful Bedrooms & Thoughtful Details
The home sleeps up to six guests across three comfortable bedrooms:
• Primary Suite – King bed, flat-screen TV, private en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and bidet for added comfort. • Second Bedroom – Queen bed, flat-screen TV, and a dedicated workspace, ideal for remote work or study. • Third Bedroom – Queen bed with a flat-screen TV.
A second full bathroom with a tub-shower combination is conveniently located in the hallway.

The home also includes:
• Free high-speed 5G WiFi • In-unit washer & dryer • Ample parking with room for a small boat or RV

Seamless Stay Experience
Guests enjoy private access to the entire home with easy keyless entry. We respect your privacy while remaining readily available via messaging should you need anything during your stay.
For transparency and safety, the property is equipped with two exterior security cameras (front door and side of the home only). There are no cameras inside or facing the pool area.

Why Guests Love Bayside Retreat
• Private pool & screened lanai • Media room with immersive sound • Fenced yard • Dedicated workspace for remote stays • Quiet neighborhood close to beaches, parks, and Tampa attractions
Bayside Retreat isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to settle in, unwind, and feel at home. We look forward to hosting you.

Winter Getaway!!

We spent 4 weeks in this lovely home. The layout is perfect with plenty of room and space. The screened in lanai and heated pool is the very best. Add to this, a fenced yard to accommodate pets….truly a home away from home. We did not want to leave to return to Maine! Definitely will return again!! Thank you Nick and Travis!

Great Home! Exceptionally Clean!! Can't wait for our next vacation!!

From the moment we booked, we were greeted with an email and walked through every step of the check-in process. Prior to arrival, and all throughout our stay, Nick & Travis were both very attentive & quickly responsive to any question we had. The listing describes the home as "Dog-Friendly", but you'd never know pets were ever in the home. It was EXTREMELY clean! The lay-out of the home was GREAT! And the 3-bedrooms gave a great variety of mattress firmness to fit any comfort level. SO ENJOYED the 75 inch television, the heated pool and the gas grill! Very close to grocery stores, restaurants/sunset on the beach, and manatee watching! "Nick & Travis - THANK YOU for making our trip so enjoyable! Due to health reasons, we had not been able to take a vacation for just over 2 years. Having such a great home that we felt so comfortable in, allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our time. We'll be back!!!"
