Property was awesome! They had everything you could ever need and then some! Super clean. Location was so perfect close to everything. Our family went scalloping nearby and it was a perfect place to come back to relax after being on the sun. Great pool area! Convenient parking. Host respond immediately to any questions/needs. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is a 20, on a scale of 1-10! It is head and shoulders over every prior property that I have rented on VRBO. It is clean, very well provisioned and located in a nice, safe area. There are very good restaurants and pubs close by and downtown Tarpon Springs is beautiful. The property manager was responsive and helpfull, from our engagement to checkout. Our group visited the area for our annual Spring Training Baseball trip, and we could not have picked a better location. Returning home from the ball park to a clean, sun drenched and refreshing pool was the cherry on top. The local beaches are also great, particularly the state park.Thank you Steve and Co.

Awesome house and pool!

We have stayed at lots of homes and this one was hands down the most clean and well stocked. Very relaxing out by the pool and beautiful. Nice neighborhood and great location. Tarpon Springs is a nice town with lots of options for great food and fun. Pack your bags and rent this home, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for all the extras, you are great hosts!

An absolutely perfect stay!

We had the most wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that they had thought of every little detail to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed (and more). The pool was a total highlight—private and perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s rare to find a place that checks every box, but this one truly did. Thank you Steve and Joyce, for your hospitality and for creating such a perfect getaway spot. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful vacation

This is a beautiful beach home near the beach. My family of four had a wonderful time here. The kids loved the pool and all the bikes and toys already there for us. We used the provided kayak at the sunset beach 5min walk down the road. The host was responsive and professional. We went to Lego land that was just over an hour away and went to Tampa/St. Petersburg. Thank you! A++++ We will return again 100%

I get to be the first!

This house is gorgeous! It looks just as good if not better than the pictures. Super comfortable bed, soft towels, plenty of pillows, decorated perfectly, open and spacious, and very well stocked. Even smoked my first turkey on Thanksgiving in their smoker and it turned out so delicious I bought my own smoker when I got home. My wife was ready to move in permanently. Well done.

All our family needed to escape the cold

We planned this the week before to escape sub zero temperatures at home with our school age kids. Temps were around 80. We mostly walked to Sunset Park and enjoyed the beach. Everything we needed was there -chairs, umbrella, coolers, even beach bags. We also enjoyed Howard Park and spent a day at Busch Gardens. Everything is at least as nice or nicer than the pictures look. The owners made sure we had child life vests like we asked about. The kitchen and grill worked out great. Comfortable bedding. Plenty of towels. We played the games in a closet. The pool would be even more awesome. We already are thinking about how we can come back next year.

Nice place

The home is very nice and well-stocked for all needs. Master BR is last room to get ac so it’s quite uncomfortable. We had to use fans to survive the heat. Owner had a portable ac delivered, but no way to hook it up properly in the window, so it was useless. They have a very generous restaurant gift card for the inconvenience which was appreciated. The area is okay. It’s a bay, not the ocean. I should have examined the map more closely. We would have stayed in Clearwater or further south had we realized.
