This is a super cute house. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The location couldn't be beat as we walked to the Historic Greek area and the Sponge Docks numerous times and to the other Historic Downtown several. Communicating with the property manager was super easy.

Great house

We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. It is well located and very well decorated. There are very many restaurants and the Sponge Docks within walking distance. I was impressed with the smalls things add that you normally don’t see in a rental like charging ports, nightlights in bathrooms, and comfortable beds. We also had good communication with the owners. We will stay in here again when visiting the area in the future.

Awesome place

This was a great property. Clean and very spacious. The house had everything you could imagine. The family even enjoyed 3d movies that were included with the rental. The owners were very responsive and check in and out was extremely easy. Truly the best VRBO i have stayed in. The location was close to everything in Tarpon.

Long family weekend

We went to Tarpon Springs for a surprise birthday celebration for my aunt. The location of this rental is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to The Sponge Docks while we had some down time and everything else was just a short drive away. The house was perfect for us and our daughter and family. We will be back the next time we are in the area visiting family.

We were in a bind because a house we rented through another service was double booked. That other host, through that other service, really messed up the start of our vacation. In desperation, I reached out to Michelle about this property. She went over and above to get us a place to stay. I can honestly say I have never had a better host, and I've stayed in a lot of VRBO properties. The house itself was beautiful. Incredibly clean, and in a great location. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

Most convenient spot for family with kids

This property is fantastic! Very clean and comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was there. The back porch was very cozy for chatting in the evenings. Walking distance to downtown Tarpon Springs and to a fantastic splash pad for kids. Michelle was a wonderful host and was very flexible with our stay when our flight was cancelled. We are looking forward to staying there again.

Great Place and Great Location

Very nice rental with everything you need to enjoy a visit to Tarpon Springs. The house is bright and cheery with 3 nice bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with plenty of towels and linens, a great back porch and private yard area with fire-pit. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to all my questions. The house is walking distance to the sponge docks, shopping and restaurants. We even walked to the historic downtown area which was quite unique and charming. Found a great beach too at Honeymoon Island that was only about a half hour away. We really enjoyed our stay.
