How to describe our wonderful home.  We got our condo five years 
go.  And... we fell in love.  So what to do??  We decided to 
move to the area (it is just so wonderful).  But our dilemma, we are 
a large family and although our condo is absolutely great for a 
smaller family or for holidays, it just isn't big enough for 7 
people year round.  We bought a home but just couldn't let go of 
this fabulous condo.  Where would we go, once the kids are gone?  
Back to our condo of course.  But in the meantime, it just made 
sense to share it with you.  I know you will love our home as much 
as we do.  The weather is perfect.  The wild life is just amazing.  
I love to see the fish jumping, one day we even saw dolphins 
swimming beside our docks at Anchor Point.  True story, Bill, 
watching a spectacular sunset one evening, heard footsteps 
approaching.  He says "Wonderful sunset, huh?" and turns to see who 
his fellow admirer is - to discover a 4 foot heron had walked up 
beside him. (I'll never let him live that one down).  And our 
sunrises are just as breathtaking.  Nothing beats heading off to the 
docks in the early morning with a cup of green tea (or coffee) and 
watching the reflections of the sunrise off the bay. We are just a 
quick drive from Tampa International Airport (under 30 miles) and 
located right on Tampa Bay.  I would love for you to contact me so I 
can answer your questions, tell you more stories, and perhaps share 
my corner of paradise with you.

Anchor Point provides an extensive common room with full amenities 
and patio (a wonderful place to meet your neighbors), come sit and 
enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the nautical life.  
Swing by in the evening and use the communal charcoal BBQ (great 
excuse to sit and wait for the fish to jump or the herons to visit) 
or perhaps you would prefer a quieter evening of BBQ, we provide an 
electric BBQ with the condo.  This serene setting is perfect for 
mental fitness, but a heated pool and an onsite tennis court will 
help the keep the body fit too.  For your enjoyment, the pristine 
swimming pool is within steps of your back door.  On some evenings 
you can actually see the steam rising from the pool.  We also supply 
you with tennis rackets and balls to help you take advantage of all 
we have to offer.  There is a private washer and dryer in the 
condo.  Kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, stove, 
2 ovens, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, and linens.  Beddings and 
towels are provided.  Master bedroom has a king-size bed, full 
ensuite bathroom, desk, and private balcony. Second bedroom has a 
bunk bed futon with a single on top and a double size futon on the 
bottom.  Living room has a TV with DVD player and cable connection.  
There is a dining area and a breakfast counter.  The screened lanai 
is a fabulous place to enjoy a candlelit glass of wine in the 
evening or enjoy a meal, there is a patio set there for your 
enjoyment.  The condo is also air-conditioned for your comfort. A 
phone is provided in the condo and is equipped for local calls. You 
have your own personal parking space steps from your front door.  
Our condo is non-smoking for your enjoyment.

There is a reason it is called paradise!

The Apollo beach area offers golfing, fishing (either off our own 
docks, down by the beach or dare to venture a charter of Tampa Bay 
or deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico), restaurants (you have 
got to visit the Manatee Cafe for breakfast one morning and don't 
forget Tuesday nights at Alpha Restaurant for all you can eat 
spaghetti - wonderful).  The nature preserve down the road from us, 
is not to be missed.  The perfect place for a walk on the beach, or 
perhaps a jog. (WHERE are the people??) It is very secluded, I have 
never seen more than a few dozen people there at any given time.  
Awesome finds to be had; we have found no less than a dozen shark 
teeth there.  Thousands of seashells for the picking.  We have also 
seen manatee (5 FEET AWAY), dolphins, stingrays, pelicans, the list 
goes on.  There is always a fisherman there willing to share his 
fishing stories with you, all you need do is ask.  There is a marina 
within walking distance as well as our own docks at Anchor Point 
(there are at times docking slips available for an additional cost, 
please ask me to find out for you).  Your visit can't be completed 
until you have visited the Manatee Viewing Center (open November to 
March), where you will see dozens of Manatee playfully swimming 
about in an inlet off Big Bend Road (these are wild manatee not 
captive).  

Enjoy a quiet evening in your condo, by the pool or sitting on the 
docks on the fabulous patio, or wander to one of the local watering 
holes, perhaps there is some live entertainment, (my personal 
favorite is the tiki hut at the Circles Marina, just down the road 
from us).  Just an hour and a half from Orlando, the theme parks are 
within driving distance (but far enough away to keep our little 
corner of the world tranquil). Shopping is but a quick drive away, 
with old stand bys like Walmart as well as outlet shopping and 
malls.  There are many sources about for water sports if you're 
interested, be it sailing, charter fishing, water-skiing, 
parasailing, or jet skiing.

We would love for you to enjoy our wonderful corner of paradise and
