The beautiful new Florida vacation home
offers a wonderful vacation with its private heated
pool, 4 bedrooms and a game room with pool table.
This ANCLOTE VILLA is a great place to enjoy Florida and have a great
vacation. A fenced in back yard and
private heated swimming pool are for enjoying the
sun and a huge front porch with solar lights on the
post caps is for enjoying the evenings and the
sunsets.
Here
is a view of the porch as you walk up the stairs from the
driveway. This is a nice place to sit, relax, and enjoy the warm
Florida breeze while watching the squirrels and other local wildlife
play in the trees next to you.
As seen in the picture there is a gas grill, great for grilling
while enjoying the evening by the pool.
The kitchen is connected to the living room. This is the first
room you walk into as you enter from the outside porch. The
kitchen comes with all the amenities.
As shown hardwood floor clovers the entire house except for the
bathrooms, which are tile. The wood creates a beautiful atmosphere
to enjoy your vacation.
The window above the sink gives a nice view.
The living room attaches to the kitchen. It has
2 52 inch ceiling fans, one in the living area and
one in the kitchen.
The room has many big windows which are ideal for opening up and
just sitting around enjoying the weather and the view.
The Master Bedroom has an attached full bathroom and a
television. This bed is a King size bed
The window from this room overlooks the fenced in swimming pool that
is in the back yard.
This is the first bedroom. This is a Queen size bed. It also has a view of the swimming
pool from the window.
This room has very nice furniture and a comfortable bed.
The
second bedroom has two sets of bunk beds in it. One of the bunks
had a full sized bed on bottom and a single on the top. The other
bunk has a single on the bottom and a single on top.
This room also has a window, which overlooks the front yard and
driveway.
The third bedroom, with a Queen size bed. It also has a window that overlooks the front yard
and the driveway.
The pool is right outside of the door from the game room. The
pool heated and is kept at 80 degrees.
The pool area has patio furniture, which is great for laying out in
the sun or just sitting around enjoying the view.
There is a game room in the downstairs portion of this home. It comes with a Full sized
Pool Table, and a Ping-Pong table.
This game room has a door leading out into the pool area.
There
is a county park (Anclote River Park) that is
walking distance from the ANCLOTE VILLA. It
is a local beach, much nicer than Clearwater
beach. There is ample beach area and SHADE
area to escape the sun. On Clearwater you
have to "rent shade" from a vendor of
umbrellas.
This picture was taken in December 2007 during
the ICE and SNOW storms up north... Notice
that some of the folks are in the shade because the
sun is still strong and hot in December.
These beach pictures are all of the
"ANCLOTE RIVER PARK" which is walking
distance from ANCLOTE VILLA.
As you can see, this beach is not so crowded
that you have to step over (or on) people to
get to the water.
In the background you can see the GULF of
Mexico. This park is located where the
ANCLOTE River hits the GULF of Mexico
During the summer months the water is
warm.. 85+ and is like a warm bath tub.
The
Anclote River Park offers something for
everybody. This person has found a "spot
away from the crowd"... There are LOTS
of secluded spots like this in the park..
This not the beach for those that like the
"hustle and bustle" of a tourist
environment with lots of scantly clad teenagers
running about...
There are picnic tables and benches overlooking
the GULF of MEXICO. Beside the picnic tables
are BBQ pits where you can grill up your
favorites... hot dogs and hamburgers...
or chicken and steak..
There are also horseshoe pits with accurately
laid out horseshoe posts in a "playing
area"...
Truly
a park that offers something for
everyone... SUN and SHADE... This
is another of the December 2007 pictures when the
ICE / SNOW storms were hitting the northern and
central part of the US....
Within walking
distance of the ANCLOTE VILLA vacation homes.
This
is one of my favorite restaurants. Ms.
Vickie's is a "Tiki Bar" style restaurant
with "inside tables" and a bar.. as
well as outside tables.
There is a huge oak tree in the middle of the
wooden deck serving area.
Their sandwiches are my favorite..
blackened fish sandwich for me ! The have a
"full menu" with dinners, sandwiches,
salads, appitizers, ice cold beer, wine,
etc..
It is located on the Anclote River and is
WALKING DISTANCE from the ANCLOTE VILLA vacation
homes.
Ms. Vickie's is located on the
ANCLOTE MARINA property and many professional
fishing guides use this fish cleaning station to
clean their catch.. On the right is one of Ms
Vickie's patrons watching the fishing pros clean
the catch for their client.
This is a typical sunset that is seen from Ms.
Vickie's Restaurant.
Here is a daytime picture of the same fish
cleaning station as in the above picture.
Notice that the Pelicans also come to Ms Vickie's
to eat fresh fish !
There are both "flats" guides and
"offshore" fishing trips available from
the fishing guides and boats that hang out at the
Anclote River Marina.
In addition to the good food, many people come to
the restaurant to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Here is a typical sunset and a young couple
enjoying it from one of the benches that have been
positioned by the "expert sunset watching
bench positioning person"...
Here is one of the greatest fishermen of all
time enjoying a sunset at Ms. Vickie's. This
is my Uncle Harry....
As he told this fishing story about the largest
redfish he ever caught and bragging about it being
the largest ever caught in the USA... it
measured 12 and 1/2 inches... I began to
think... That is not really a big red fish...
You see, I personally have caught red fish in
the 35+ inch range... so I hesitantly pointed
out to Uncle Harry that I did not think his red
fish was all that big...
Uncle Harry just looked at me and said....
"Son, I am from Texas originally and I don't
know how you all measure your fish in Florida, but
in Texas we measure them between the eyes."
There are pontoon boats available for daily
rentals at the Anclote Village Marina. Here
is the Phone number (727) 937-9737
These are great boats for the family to go
exploring the islands off shore like Anclote
Island, Three Rooker Bar, and others.
Great Fishing
Speaking of speckled trout (specks) hanging out in the grass
flats, that is where our guest, the gentleman on the left, caught these 2 HUGH Speckled Sea Trout
(Specks) You can bring your boat or rent one locally.
If you are like me, you can hear fish like these calling your name,
asking where you are and why you are not fishing !!!
The fellow on the right is Rich Knox, one of the premier fishing
guides on this coast of Florida.
