Innisbrook Offers Summer Vacation Villa Rentals


No Restrictions On Check-In Or Check-Out Days at Activity Filled,
Tampa Bay Area Resort


This summer, Innisbrook – a Salamander Golf & Spa Resort – is offering family vacation villa rentals beginning at only $695 per week. Unlike many resorts, there are no restrictions on check-in and check-out days at Innisbrook, located on Florida’s west coast just 25 minutes from Tampa International Airport.

“Innisbrook is fast becoming one of the top family destinations in Florida,” says Lloyd Williams, the resort’s managing director. One of the goals of our recent and complete renovation was to make Innisbrook appealing to families as well as golfers. We now have activities for everyone to enjoy at an amazing value and deliver a true summer family vacation.”

Innisbrook’s spacious villas include full kitchens, pull-out sofas, complimentary high-speed internet access, multiple televisions and are pet friendly. Weekly resort guests enjoy free parking, complimentary transportation throughout the resort and to nearby Caladesi Island – ranked as America’s top-ranked beach. Resort guests also have five dining options, including a Poolside Grill, Packard’s Steakhouse and Market Salamander – which offers ready-made meals to pick up. Innisbrook can even arrange to have a guest’s kitchen stocked prior to arrival. The resort’s new Indaba Spa also provides a variety of relaxing massage treatments as well as a full-service salon.



Children can enjoy Camp Nessie and its many activities like face painting and sand candle sculpturing, while families may cool off with a dive-in movie at the Loch Ness Monster Pool, replete with water slides and its own beach. The resort also has five other pools, a miniature golf course and a playground, while its vast, self-contained acreage and nature trails makes bicycling and exploring a safe daily activity.

During the summer, one-bedroom villa rentals at the 900-acre resort start at $695, while two-bedroom rates begin at $995. Special pricing is also available for shorter stays. Pricing includes all resort fees and one mid-stay housekeeping refresher. The weeklong offer is valid through Labor Day (September 5).

Owned by Sheila C. Johnson and managed by Salamander Hospitality, Innisbrook provides a convenient base from which to explore the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. The area’s famed beaches are only 15 minutes away, while Busch Gardens Adventure Park – one of the top 50 most visited attractions in the world – is within easy driving distance.

The resort is also renowned for its four championship golf courses, including Copperhead – which hosts the PGA TOUR Transitions Championship. However, summer marks the opening of a fifth: the Fox Squirrel Golf Course, in conjunction with NIKE. This walking course is designed for all ages and levels of golfers to spend time together enjoying the game. In addition Innisbrook has also begun offering a series of “101” introductory classes. Varying in price and length, and booked separately, they are designed to teach newcomers of all ages about a sport, pastime or skill. Topics include golf, spa, fitness, tennis and mixology.
