Vacation Rentals by Owner

Best home we have stayed in

Guest: Mel (Atlanta GA)
Date of Stay: 05/03/12 Review Submitted: 05/17/12

I have just returned from vacation on Florida’s Gulf coast and passed this homes details onto my sisters, who are thinking of coming to the area at the end of the year.I don’t do reviews or even read them, I think they are for people with too much time on their hands and who like to complain. However, one of my sisters called me to say they had read through the reviews on this home, and was this the same home I stayed in last week.I went on line and was really shocked at the last review given.When we arrived at the house we felt over the moon at our choice. The décor was beautiful and made you feel happy just to be there. The owners had left bottles of wine and a card to welcome us, and a wonderful book full of things to do in the area and recommendations of places to eat. I cannot disagree more with the last comments on the condition of the house, it was really nice not only inside but outside too. Everything was done to make the renters comfortable and feel at home. My children loved the fact that when I was preparing dinner and they had enough of the pool ( been in it since day break) they had a good selection of DVD’S and even videos to watch, There was also a good selection of board games there. The only thing I did not have in the kitchen was a mixer, but I actually popped next door and asked a neighbor if I could borrow one, which she did. She laughed at somebody preparing a pie whilst on vacation!My husband enjoyed sitting on the second floor deck to read as it was away from the pool area and it gave him some respite from the kid’s noise.My favorite part of the house was the hot tub, it was large and positioned in the screen room, so it was really secluded and it did not matter if it rained. I went in it late in the evening when the kids were in bed. I feel really sorry for the owners of this house, as they had obviously gone that extra yard to get everything right and still they cannot please all their renters. I would never be able to own a rental home myself, it would upset me too much.Any way don’t be put off, we come to Florida every year and will book this home again. The area is central to everything, and the cul-d-sac is perfect for kids to play in safety.At looking at the reviews, and as I said before, most people don’t bother to write if something is good, only if bad. There are so many good ones on this home that common sense tells you this home is really worth coming to.

Disappointing

Guest: Cathy (Chattanooga, TN)
Date of Stay: 04/08/12 Review Submitted: 05/04/12

We stayed in Palm Harbor during our children’s spring break in April 2012. My husband went through www.vrbo.com to find this house. Now that we’ve been there, we wish that we would have only considered the reviews with people’s names and cities—if you look, a lot are “guestbook comments” or “guest comment entered by owner”. The reviews that describe maintenance issues and other problems are accurate. The house is not well maintained and the décor is not up to date—looks like everything was purchased from yard sales and thrift stores 20 years ago, poor quality and nothing matches. You can’t change the temp in the house, the pool, or the spa. The kitchen is poorly equipped—only a few cereal bowls and no sharp knives, and the refrigerator opens the opposite way of what would be most convenient, and the crisper drawers are missing. The television in the living room is very old and the remote doesn’t work; there aren’t televisions in the bedrooms; and there isn’t access to internet. There is a light fixture over the pool that can’t be code for anywhere. The deck and steps from the 2nd floor are spongey. The floor in the master bedroom is weird—either the subfloor is rotten, or they put padding under the laminate floor. The comment about being stingy with TP and paper towels is also accurate—and there wasn’t dishwasher detergent there and only one extra trash bag. The large trash cans were full to the top—I guess because of the Easter holiday, don’t know, but it left us with a challenging situation. There are loads of silk flowers everywhere in the house and they all have a thick layer of dust—as do the bi-fold closet doors in the master, and the return air vents. If you’re looking for an upscale locale, Palm Harbor is what I would describe as down market. On the bright side, the house is conveniently located to the Pinellas Trail; Honeymoon Island is cool for shelling and nature watching (we saw a pod of dolphins our last day there); and there are grocery and drug stores nearby. There are beach chairs, beach toys and a cooler at the house which was nice for when we went to the beach. We have rented places through www.vrbo.com before in Destin, FL and Captiva Island, FL and had good success, but this one was a definite disappointment. Please take rebuttal from the owner with a grain of salt—you can see her other rebuttals on negative reviews.

Owner response:This home has one of the highest positive review counts in the whole of the Clearwater area Only 5 of these were owner entered back in 2004 when it was done like that. Anybody can contact VRBO about the reviews given. We have no maintenance issues this home is constantly being maintained and upgraded. It would not have rented so successfully if it were not. Its not a new home but in great condition throughout. What you see online is what you get. The kitchen is fully equipped and caters comfortably for 8 persons. No the china does not all match, if something is broken it is not feasible to replace a whole set. The TV is a Sony 52in Projection cost $5000 not new now, but has a great picture The remote was okay. No we don't have TV's in the bedrooms or internet. We don't say we do. There is however another T.V and DVD and we offer a Virgin Mobile flash for anybody wanting to use their laptop. Paul is a licensed contractor himself The pool lights were done by the licensed pool contractor when it was installed, the new laminate floor (all our flooring on the ground floor is new this year) has padding under for a nice comfortable feel in a bedroom. A wooden staircase & deck spongy? that would be a trick of nature. This is a self catering home and yes we only supply start up supplies. we also don't supply food. Some of the silk flowers were a bit dusty we do special cleaning every other month. Regarding rebuttals on those 2 negative reviews, we only tell the truth. When a guest writes Palm Harbor is down market or we are stingy with only leaving 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, that is their view and we don't refute that. When guests are actually telling lies, e.g we don't have any frying pans, when there are or that nothing matches and is over 20 years old and in fact it is not old and does match Obviously any owner would refute untruths. We felt that this review was bordering personal, and could not understand it, until we traced the booking The guests had put a different city on the review than on their booking form. We met this family at our next door neighbors moving sale. They at no point said that anything was wrong or they were unhappy with anything. It then clicked with Paul The lady wanted a quality dinner service and was told we had bought it. Hell have no fury like a women's scorn. We are now going to join the owner groups that take legal action for libel against guests that tell lies that cause their business damage.

Hi Gaye & Paul, Rich and I would like to thank you. We stayed at the Cardinal house from 5/27 to 6/3. It was more than we expected. The house was beautifully decorated (tropical) my kind of thing, and very accomodating. You guys left no stone unturned. The pool was awesome! Just what we needed at the end of the day. My family thouroughly enjoyed everything and so did we. However, there were 2 bottles of wine on the kitchen; we weren't sure if they were for us, so we didn't drink them. We would have!!!! The house is absolutely adorable, we will stay there again. It was almost like being at home. We will spread the word and, perhaps, stay there again this summer. Location as to where we had to be was no more than 20 min away. Thank you so very much for making our family reunion, my Aunts 100th birthday, a great experience. We did make sure the house was clean, swept, and wiped down, beds made (not sure if we were supposed to strip them) and did try to skim the pool after the rain storm on Thurs. We did leave some items that we could not take home w/us. Hope you don't mind. It was better to leave them for the clean up crew than pitch them. I would appreciate it if you would shred my deposit check and let me know when you do. Again, thank you for such a lovely house and we will absolutely stay with you again.....

Had bad renting experiences in the past, so really got into the " review thing " This home had nearly 40 reviews which intriged me, as people normally only write when things are wrong. We choose this house as out of 40 reviews, 38 were positive, speaks for itself here and the reviews were so consistant The owners were really helpful and gave us some great ideas for places to visit that we would have never found ourselves. Local dining and delis we could walk to. Beaches were delightful. ( owners even had pull along cooler for the beach, neat ! ) we did find some local tennis courts that were free and the local YMCA which is in the next street, give weekly membership or honor your own.Free babysitting there I will certainly be back to this home or one of the owners others Peggy Parsons

Cardinals--Palm Harbor

Guest: Barb (VA)
Date of Stay: 12/31/10 Review Submitted: 03/02/11

This property shows well on line, but is in need of repairs and updating. After submitting our rental fees, we were informed that an additional weekly fee would be required if we wished to have the pool heater activated . I was looking forward to a warm and wondreful Palm Harbor stay from New Year's Eve until Jan. 29th, but my expectations, unfortunately, were not met.

Owner response:This home is being constantly maintained and upgraded. Most of our guests say it’s even more beautiful than our site shows it. ( see what other guests have written ) No, we don’t have granite countertops and marble floors and yes, a lamp does go out sometimes the day after folk come in. Our Booking form clearly asks if the renter wants to have pool heating and its cost. This was not ticked for by this party. What we did notice was that the form was completed and signed for a party of 3 ( and we charged on that basis ) and then at least 5 adults stayed at our home during the full duration. Last week another member of this party contacted us to say what a great time he had at our home. This review makes no sense to us, and no help to anybody else.

LOVED this home

Guest: Sam (N.J)
Date of Stay: 12/17/10 Review Submitted: 01/09/11

We have stayed in many homes over the years and this is the nicest we have stayed in.The owners have put so much thought into all the little exta things that take this home out of the normal rental home bracket.We were a family of 3 generations and we all enjoyed different things. I loved sitting and reading on the sun deck, you are up among the branches of the oak trees, its so relaxing. My Mom ( who is 81) liked just sitting in the yard and watch the kids play or watching that huge T.V for hours ! My Husband who loves Golf, enjoyed playing several courses all close by, he really liked Brooker Creek course, as they had a sports bar in the club house. We paid for pool heating which at first i though expensive, but the pool got to over 80 degrees. so must have an excellent heating system, as some days were rather cool outside for Florida. The two things you must do if you come here are . 1) Go on the kayak trip on St Josephs sound, just a short walk from the house, it was the best day for us all ( even my Mom went ) we went all along the little inlets on the Gulf and through the mangroves we saw a group of little stingrays swim with us, it was great. 2) Hire cycles, we wanted to walk to so many places but did not have the time and there is a cycle trail that goes all along the coast that we did not go on. Hope this has helped somebody The Sampson family N.J

My wife is a clean freak and this home was spotless,well maintained and had everything my family could have wanted and more. The pool area was like a tropical oasis, Fantastic I enjoyed being able to walk places, made such a change from other Florida vacation places we have been to. Try Peggy O'Neils Irish pub, magic! Will book again next year and highly recommend

NOT HAPPY

Guest: Bryan (Livonia, MI)
Date of Stay: 10/02/10 Review Submitted: 10/20/10

We stayed here from 10/2 - 10/9/2010. I have rented many homes in this area for the last 10 years and this is the first one I have rented from Paul and Gaye. When I first arrived I found out I couldn't adjust the temperature in the house, which made it difficult to sleep at night. The pool was dirty, so I called and was assured it would clear up on its own. It didn't. The water never got warm enough to swim in (no option to hear it), so I didn't call back. The HOT tub was set to 93 degrees and is only on from noon to 4pm and the jets didn't even work. The screening has debris all over it and is torn in a couple of places. The next morning I went to cook breakfast and there was no fry pan. I bought one and left it behind for the next guests. There was no extra t.p. in the bathroom off the kitchen. And one extra roll the master bathroom which was needed in that bathroom. With the amount of money I spent on this house, I was not happy at all. I will not rent from this couple again.

Owner response:Unfortunately an owner can never please everybody and some folks are never happy. After 20 years of renting our homes, with over 30 positive responses on this home and only 1 negative, we feel happy with what we offer. The A/C was set at 74 degrees for the evening and 76 degrees for the day; and with outside temperatures not high (they were only in the 60's at night) we can't believe anybody would have any trouble sleeping. The pool was professionally cleaned that morning, but the yard man had blown the outside decks down after then and a slight bit of dust went into the water. It was not dirty. We were never asked for pool heating, which was available, and the renters asked for the hot tub to be set at 93 degrees themselves! The hot tub jets are working fine and the hot tub stays hot all day (although set to heat for 4 hours ). The screening did have a few leaves on; we have trees! There are three (3) frying pans available - we do not understand why they could not be found. Five (5) rolls of toilet paper for 2 people for 7 nights is ample. For the discounted weekly rate we gave, it worked out about the same price for them as one 4 star hotel room and what we gave was a Beautiful 4 Star Pool / Hot tub home in a great location. We are so pleased that 99.9% of renters appreciate our homes.

Mr & Mrs Vogel, I want to thank you for the wonderful time we had at the Cardinals home in Palm harbor. We stayed at the beginning of August and it was a great ending to a stressful summer. The house was beautiful, Clean and exactly like the pictures showed. The kids had a blast while I just relaxed by the pool. You were right .....the beaches were great and Honeymoon Island was Close by and the Kids loved the Ferry to the other little Island. I will tell all friends and family if they visit FL to visit your home, we will be back next summer.

Gaye & Paul Thank you so much for another great stay at the Cardinals. We had a fantastic christmas in Florida with Family (the first in over 30 years). Our grandchildren had a wonderful vacation and made us promise they could go back to the same house next time. We especially appreciate that you allowed us to stay that extra day thank you. Our trip home was much safer and definitely more pleasant leaving the day after the bad weather up north. We hope to see you again next year thanks for everything. Pat & Sharon

Hi We had a greta time. Thanks for the use of your card for Honeymoon island. We went there twice, it was amazing! The first day, not only did we see dolphins, but they were hunting a school of fish about 30ft from the beach, everyone was just transfixed. It's a lovely place and your certainly very lucky to have that on your doorstep. Thanks Mick

Dear Gaye and Paul, I didn't want to let any more time go by before I dropped you a line to say what a wonderful time we had in your house. It was great -- so comfortable, so well-appointed. The pool was a great hit with all of us. I fell in love with Palm Harbor -- we spent an hour or so each day at the Witches' Brew, using the internet -- and we ate at the Thirsty Marlin one night. (I wanted to eat in more local places, but the girls had their hearts set on the Outback and The Cheesecake Factory, and we couldn't disappoint them!) I hope it won't be too long before we have a chance to rent The Cardinals, or perhaps one of your other properties, again. (The conference I attended the weekend before our vacation meets again, same time next year, and the girls have already told me that they are available .... =) I am so glad you found a place as wonderful as The Cardinals for your rental business, Thanks again -- hope to be in touch with you again one day soon. Best regards-- Maura -- Maura Heaphy, Senior Lecturer Department of English The Ohio State University,

Spent 3 weeks in this delightful home, If your looking for some chill out time book in here. Its position is great, close to everything, but in a small little cul-de-sac.Clean, well kept and homely Pool and outside areas are really nice. Owners actually greeted us with 2 bottles of wine ! Try the restaurants in the downtown area and if your lucky enough to be there on the first week of the month, they have a real nice family street party on the Friday evening.

Hi Gaye & Paul, Jim and I would like to once again thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. It was easy to find and very central to many of the things we like to do. We managed to get to Honeymoon beach but did not take the ferry to Caladesi Island. The beach was beautiful and very peaceful. The girls enjoyed the big screen television-we were able to rent movies and connect Mel's DVD to the t.v. The only regret was that we didn't get the pool heated-it was just too cold. We did enjoy the hot tub once or twice. All in all, it was a great vacation and we would love to return next year, if possible. I wish we could have met so that we could have thanked you in person. Thanks again The Smyth Family P.S. Thank the cleaning staff for a great job and I'm glad they were able to make use of what we left behind.

Just as usual, after such a long vacation, the daily obligations have taken over our minds and time. First of all, the house was excellent. We enjoyed staying at there very much. Just the size we needed with very nice appointments and style. We also liked its location, close to all things one may want to see without beeing too close. In short: everythings went fine.

Let me know when you finish your new house that will sleep ten. We loved the hot tub, it was a great back up for us girls who did not want to go into the pool at this time of the year.

We enjoyed our stay in Palm Harbor, hope we left everything as nice as we found it. The kids enjoyed the pool. Thank you.
