The kitchen is connected to the living room.
The appliances are very clean / new. 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 living room attaches to the kitchen. It has
a nice ceiling fan with light.
The room has several big windows which are ideal for opening up and
just sitting around enjoying the weather and the view.
The Master Bedroom has a nice ceiling fan with a
light. The bed is a Queen size bed
The windows provide a nice cross ventilation
when the spring weather is cool.
This is the second bedroom. This is a day
bed and trundle bed. This makes into 2 single
beds.
 There
is a county park (GREEN KEY Park) that a short
drive from Mike's Place.. It
is a local beach with facilities that Clearwater
beach does not have including benches, shaded
picnic tables. 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.
Here is another picture "GREEN KEY PARK"
showing the natural setting it is located in. .
This beach also have BBQ pits for your use to
grill lunch on. In the background you can see the GULF of
Mexico.
During the summer months the water is
warm.. 85+ and is like a warm bath tub.
This is a typical sunset scene along
the waterfront. Fishermen are cleaning their
catch and an interested bystander looks
on.
Here is a daytime picture of the same fish
cleaning station as in the above picture.
Notice that the Pelicans also come to eat fresh fish
skeletons the fishermen throw into the water.!
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 at SAMs restaurant, 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 the Restaurant. 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."
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.
