5-bedroom home with fenced yard, fire pit, minutes from Gulf beaches
A 5-bedroom home with a fully fenced yard, fire pit, and room for the whole crew. Quiet Seminole neighborhood a few minutes from Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, and the Gulf. Good fit for families and groups who want space and privacy without living on the tourist strip.
A 2-bedroom place steps from Clearwater Beach. Built for couples or small families who want a simple walk-to-sand stay. Beach gear is stocked, and the white sand is a short walk, not a shuttle ride.

Where Our Properties Are
All four homes are in Pinellas County, covering the Tampa Bay spots guests request most.
Dunedin
Walkable Gulf-side town with a downtown brewery row, the Pinellas Trail, and access to Honeymoon Island. Less crowded than Clearwater Beach. Home to The Dunedin Duo.
Clearwater
White-sand beach town with heavy tourist demand. From The Clearwater Coastal Oasis you walk to the sand, so you skip beach parking fights and shuttles.
Seminole
Quiet residential Pinellas neighborhood about 5 minutes from Madeira Beach and Indian Rocks Beach. Calmer base for families who want beach access without tourist density. Home to Seminole Serenity.
Downtown St. Petersburg
One of Florida's most walkable downtowns. Beach Drive, the Pier, the Dalí Museum, the Saturday Morning Market, and a dense restaurant row. The Downtown St. Pete Radiant Retreat sits in the middle of it.
Thinking about buying in Tampa Bay?
A lot of our rental guests end up buying here. Troy can show you what is available while you are in town. No pressure pitch.
Most properties allow free cancellation up to 30 days before arrival; some peak-season bookings require 60 days. Each property's exact policy is on the booking page at book.mangrovebayrealty.com. Plans change. If you need to adjust, text us first and we will work with you.
Is there a minimum stay?
Most weekends require a 3-night minimum and peak holiday weeks may require 5 to 7 nights. The Dunedin Duo as a 2-home group booking typically needs 4+ nights. Specific minimums show on each property's booking page for the dates you pick.
What is the check-in process? What time?
Check-in is 4 PM, check-out is 10 AM. Every home uses keyless entry. You get a code by email and text 48 hours before arrival. No key handoff, no lobby check-in. Early check-in or late check-out can usually be arranged if you ask.
What is included: linens, towels, kitchen supplies?
All homes come fully stocked: hotel-grade linens and towels, full kitchen with cookware and dishes, coffee maker plus starter coffee, toiletries, paper goods, laundry supplies, beach gear at the beach-adjacent properties, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Bring food and a swimsuit.
Is there parking?
Every property has free on-site parking. The Dunedin Duo has space for 4+ vehicles across both homes. The Downtown St. Pete Radiant Retreat has dedicated off-street parking, which is rare downtown.
Where are your vacation rentals located?
All four properties are in Pinellas County, Florida: Dunedin, Clearwater, Seminole, and downtown St. Petersburg. Each is within easy reach of Gulf beaches, downtown food, and Tampa International Airport (TPA, about 25 to 40 min).
Why book direct instead of Airbnb or Vrbo?
Booking direct usually saves 10% to 15% vs the same dates on Airbnb or Vrbo because we skip platform service fees. You also talk directly with the host (no platform runaround), get local recommendations, and our best-rate guarantee.
What does the "best rate guaranteed" promise actually mean?
If you find the same property on Airbnb, Vrbo, or any other platform for a lower total price (nightly rate + cleaning + fees) for the same dates, we will price-match it. Send the listing link before you book and we will beat or match it on our direct booking site.
Do you offer monthly or extended stays?
Yes. All four properties accept stays of 28+ nights at reduced monthly rates. Email troy@mangrovebayrealty.com or call (727) 404-5530 for monthly availability and pricing.
Are pets allowed?
Pet policies vary by property. Check the specific property page on book.mangrovebayrealty.com for current pet policy and fees, or message us before booking.
How far are the properties from Tampa International Airport (TPA)?
Dunedin and Clearwater are roughly 30 to 40 minutes from TPA. Seminole is about 35 minutes. Downtown St. Petersburg is roughly 25 minutes. All four are also about 15 to 25 minutes from St. Pete-Clearwater International (PIE).
