The Gulf of Mexico can give you a fantastic serene sunset but all these stay-at-home orders don’t make it easy.

Sometimes you can’t get out of your home to make it to the beach but a virtual trip could be the key so let’s go to the Gulf of Mexico.

This whole health crisis is keeping us in but a virtual sunset could be what we need to relax and close out our evening. For many people, nothing relaxes us more than to kick our feet up, grab a bottle of wine, sit down with the one/s we love, and watch the day slowly glide into the sunset.

Like most of you, the idea of having to stay home has taken me from my favorite places. No Disney, no cruises, no beachcombing, but a trip I took to a house last July 4th, was secluded and the perfect retreat for a week of quarantine.

The house sits on the Gulf of Mexico just north of Tampa Bay. It is a three-story home surrounded on three sides by water and on the second-floor deck, you can kick back in the tall chairs, prop up your feet and watch the sunset unfold in front of you.

This was the second year for us at this property and to be honest, I miss when I get home. The dolphins playing in the water directly off the deck, the manatees swimming through the channel, and the occasional sea turtle popping its head up. Mostly, I miss those simple moments of watching the sun go down. So much so that on my last trip, I recorded it.

The 40-minute video runs until the sun goes down. Boats trickle by and while the wind blowing messes up the sound, I recommend turning on your favorite music, toss it up on your big screen, lean back and relax.

If you would like to find out more information about this home and how to rent it, leave a message on our Facebook page, message us on Twitter, or leave a comment on the video and we will get you that information as soon as we can.  Enjoy!
