Frequently Asked Questions

🏖️ How close are you to the beach?

One of our favorite questions! 🌊

We're only about 5 to 10 minutes from beautiful Indian Rocks Beach and just a short drive from Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, and many other Gulf Coast favorites. We even provide beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler, ice packs and other beach essentials to make your beach day easy.

🏡 Is the entire home private?

Absolutely! You'll have the entire house, backyard, pool, hot tub, game room, and driveway all to yourselves. No shared spaces here, just your own private Florida getaway.

🏊 Is the pool heated?

Yes! Our pool is heated year-round for extra comfort.

Since Florida weather likes to keep us guessing, pool temperatures can vary a bit during colder winter days, but we do our best to keep it comfortable for swimming.

♨️ Is the spa always available?

Yes! The hot tub spa is ready for you to relax after a day at the beach, shopping, or exploring the area.

(Warning: You may never want to leave.)

🎮 What's in the game room?

Probably more fun than it should be. 😄

The air-conditioned garage game room includes:

It's a guest favorite for kids...and adults who secretly become very competitive.

Yes! We know vacations are better when the whole family comes, including the furry members.

Dogs are welcome with approval and a pet fee. We even provide dog crates and a fully fenced backyard with real grass to help everyone feel right at home.

Very!

You'll find cookware, dishes, utensils, spices, blender, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, espresso machine, tea kettle, wine glasses, grilling tools, and more.

We provide a Pack 'n Play, children's dinnerware, books, toys, and a few family-friendly extras to make traveling with little ones a little easier.

Yes!

We have 500 Mbps Frontier Fiber Internet, making it great for streaming, remote work, or keeping the kids entertained while you enjoy a little peace and quiet. There is a desk in the kids room as well.

🔥 Can we use the fire pit?

There's nothing better than ending a Florida evening around the fire pit. We provide the seating and the cozy atmosphere, you bring the stories (pro tip: ask about our S'mores package).

Perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

🎨 What's with all the murals?

We wanted Gulf Getaway to feel fun, colorful, and uniquely Florida.

All of the murals throughout the home were painted by myself (Morgan Lane), giving the space a personality you won't find in a typical vacation rental.

❤️ Why should we book The Gulf Getaway Largo?

Because we created the kind of vacation home we'd want our own family to stay in ourselves.

Whether you're relaxing in the hot tub, grilling dinner under the string lights, playing Mario Kart in the game room, spending the day at the beach, or simply enjoying your morning coffee by the pool, our hope is that Gulf Getaway feels less like a rental and more like your home away from home.

We can't wait to host you!

🌴 What makes Gulf Getaway different?

There are plenty of places to stay near the beachb, ut we wanted to create a place you'll actually remember.

At The Gulf Getaway, you'll find thoughtful touches around every corner: a heated pool, relaxing hot tub spa, colorful local murals, a fun-filled game room, heated private outdoor shower, coffee bar, beach gear, family-friendly amenities, and a host who is available 24/7 & genuinely cares about making your stay special.

We live here also & we're not trying to be the biggest vacation rental, we're trying to be your favorite one.
