About Steven Jewell
We live in the UK and are happily retired. We have owned our house in Palm Harbor in The Village of Woodland Hills (a deed restricted community) since November 2012, successfully renting it out since early 2013 and having great vacations there ourselves. Our local manager (Carol) looks after our house for us.

Lake Tarpon (various state parks) is about 5 minutes drive away - for barbecues, great fishing, trails, viewing towers, boating and water activities. Fishermen are 'spoilt for choice' in this area. Travel a little further (20 mins) you can reach the Honeymoon Island State Park and beach and from there the short ferry ride to Caladesi island; both of these are nature reserves, completely unspoiled and offer park trails with superb beach and sea activities.

The private, large heated pool is the crowning glory of our house; fully heated for warm swims in the winter months. A great patio area with a covered lanai for trouble free outdoor entertaining. From 2013 virtually everything is brand new. Access to a large community pool and tennis courts. Our house is well established and in a lovely safe and well kept area, convenient and close to everything; close to Tampa airport, abundant shopping malls, super beaches, lake Tarpon, Clearwater beach and numerous other attractions. The property feels like brand new and was completely refurbished and redecorated in 2012 by a local builder with new kitchen and bathroom units and appliances. We've completed this overhaul with new bedrooms, furniture, utilities (washer and dryer), linen and all new kitchen equipment. The property is fitted out with good broadband, telephone and TV services. In 2014 we added a pool table and extra furniture in the bonus room.
