You’ll look forward to weekends at home. Tell your friends to bring a swimsuit and stay for dinner. Start the afternoon in your private in-ground pool, set a long table in the oversized backyard, and pull the chairs around the fire pit after dark. Pool service and lawn care are included in the rent, so Saturday is yours to spend out there. The friend who shows up early gets the best seat. The dining area is right beside the quartz counter, so hand them something to taste while you finish cooking. The kitchen is brand-new, with stainless steel appliances, and this three-bedroom, two-bath Clearwater home has been fully renovated. And when someone asks where you work from home, open the bookshelf. There’s a whole bonus room behind it, ready for a desk and a door you can close at the end of the day. Or bring a sofa and a big screen and make it your movie room. The home is near Gulf to Bay Boulevard, about 15 minutes from Tampa and 15–20 minutes from the Pinellas beaches, depending on traffic and destination.
