Photos and Description of the Clearwater vacation house rental
Let 6 bed huge family-friendly home with pool and spa near world's best beaches.

Luxury 6 bedroom home is newly-built, well-maintained, immaculately clean and timeless-looking. Set in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with large lots, huge trees and 10 minutes from the beach in Clearwater. This luxury villa, is close to many of the top 10 beaches in the world: Cleawater Beach, Sand Key, Caladisi Island, Honeymoon Island and also Tarpon Spings. Also less than two hours are Florida's top attractions like Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios and Cirque du Soleil, based in Kissimmee, south of Orlando. Jungle Home is a beautiful villa where you will be able to holiday in luxury near the waterfront. The largest room which is a combined living/dining room and kitchen overlooks the well-landscaped jungle outside, as well as the pool. Fabulous gourmet kitchen. Hidden speakers spread music throughout the house and pool area. The home is designed for parties on the ground floor while the children sleep upstairs. Much appreciated by British guests (designer/owner also English).

About Claire Lore

I grew up in London and have lived in California, Florida, France and am now back in the UK where I run my marketing company. I have two boys and we come back to this house for as much as possible.

Claire Lore purchased this house in 1996
Why Claire Lore chose Clearwater

After looking for two years for a beautiful home in Clearwater, I gave up and learned how to design and get a home built. It was a fascinating process and enormously creative! Probably the biggest problem was in having so many choices. I'd only renovated before and there is so much you can't do when the property is already built!

I chose to build in a lovely safe area filled with trees, families and windy roads. We later put a screen around the pool because one day we had a black snake in the pool and the mosquitoes were just too annoying!

By building ceilings high and many traditional elements into the home, we were able to create a warm European atmosphere.

We are most fond of the large living/dining/kitchen area that overlooks the pool. This is where everyone hangs out!

What makes this house unique

We love the natural and artificial lighting that streams to the home from at least two sides of all the main rooms, the artwork painted onto the bathroom walls, as well as the secret tunnel from the children's room!

We were in the house for 3 weeks with our in-laws! We were able to cook and serve a big feast for 20 in style. I slept on the most comfortable bed I have ever used in my 59 years! We could set the pool temperature to exactly how we liked it. The ambiance of the house is like an Italian Villa, so very relaxing and elegant. Everyone who came to the house (have lots of family here) commented on how beautiful it is. Lots of space for everyone and layed out in a way that everyone has privacy and quiet, as well as a big common space. I just forgot the whole world. It was hard to go home. Thank you for this wonderful holiday.

We had the good fortune of staying at the Jungle Home for six weeks. We came with a baby, a toddler, and a small boy. The house was child friendly and safe -- with LOTS of toys! We spent day after lazy day swimming in the pool and bbq'ing beside it. The house is beautifully designed, with large rooms, plenty of space, soft lighting, and great attention to detail. It had a very European feel to it. The master bedroom particularly was enjoyable, with one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. The house also featured reliable, high-speed Internet and an expanded cable tv (and tivo) package. We loved staying at the Jungle House and would do so again.

If you are traveling with toddlers or babies, please know that the jungle home comes equipped with a high chair, two cribs, safety gates at the top and bottom of the stairs, and excellent mud/laundry room, and a security chime that rings every time an outside door is opened. There is also a baby monitor already at the house.

Wonderful Private Luxurious Retreat from Life!

We stayed at the "Jungle Home" for a family reunion in May, 2007, and had a wonderful time. The home is located in a beautiful and quiet residential neighborhood in Clearwater, and has some nice parks nearby as well as multiple walking and running paths. The home has lots of room, and is well furnished with linens, cooking equipment, nice TV and audio equipment, and a nice office (for those who can't escape work entirely!) The pool is nice, and has both solar heat and a gas heater (which was inoperative when we were there bu was being fixed), and is in a screened enclosure. I'd recommend this home to anyone looking for a very nice and very comfortable place to stay.

Homeowner Response:
Thank you for you nice comments. We now have a brand-new heater for those guests who come in the cooler months.

Pefect Place for Spring Training

We stayed at The Jungle Home in March 2008 for Spring Training. The home was so luxurious yet friendly! The sheets were just like butter, better than the many five star hotels I love. Claire designed this house and every detail is perfect, from the commercial gas range to the spotlights on reading chairs from beautiful high ceilings. European touches make this home a palace and a work of art. STAY HERE, YOU WILL LOVE IT! The home was restful and quiet. We didn't want to go home because here we lived like royalty!!

What a Vacation!

We were a large family (and extended family) who stayed at the Jungle Home for 2 weeks in March 2008. Our ages ranged from a 10 month old baby, young children and teenagers to several adults. The house was a fabulous getaway for all of us. The kitchen with large countertops was amazing! It was able to accommodate several people doing food preparation and cooking at the same time. The children loved sitting at the stools at the immense centre island to have their meals. The house was elegantly appointed yet practical and comfortable. It was so well designed that sounds from downstairs did not carry up to the bedrooms and it was spacious and bright. The heated pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The house is centrally located to everything in Clearwater and we would highly recommend it to a large family or group for a luxurious vacation.

We stayed at the Jungle House for a month and enjoyed everything at the home itself and surrounding areas of Florida have to offer. If you want a relaxing location, with all conveniences for a large family - then stay here. Separate downstairs areas within the home for our guests were perfect. The property is well managed, in case of questions about the property or local services. My children ask me every day when we're going back !
