Keywords: House
This gorgeous three bedroom two bathroom house is everything-and more-that you are looking for! A spectacular 3,600 gallon pond that cascades over natural stone greets you as you step through the front gate, an impressive and distinctive first impression! If you can tear yourself away from the hypnotic and beautiful waterfall, down the path a lush and tropical oasis awaits you! Relax under the gorgeous Gazebo with netting and comfortable chairs or take a dip in the heated kidney shaped pool! Soak in some of the rays from the resort style lounge chairs or kick back and have a cold one under the incredible cabana, surrounded by lush palms and flowering plants. If you come in March or April the backyard is filled with the scent of blooming Jasmine and Gardenia. This intimate seating area features dark wicker furniture and comfortable cushions.
As hard as it may be to leave the outside, trust me! The inside is as great as the outside! I dare you to sink into the plush leather chair with over-sized ottoman and EVER want to leave! The kitchen is open-air, making cooking or entertaining a pleasure. Open the window and front door and let the ambient sound from the waterfall complement your meal. The new dark wood dining room table easily seats 6. The addition of the 47" LCD puts the living room over the TOP! Watch your favorite TV shows in HD or watch a Blu-ray DVD for an unbelievable cinematic experience. 5 speaker surround sound make this a great movie watching experience!
This house has a GREAT location! You are two and a half miles from St. Pete Beach so you are there before you know it but you don't have to live your life in beach traffic just to get to the stores. Your choice of Publix or Sweetbay supermarkets are only one mile away, conveniently grouped together. Downtown Gulfport is less than two miles away and faces beautiful Boca Ciega Bay. Great restaurants, art galleries and pubs make this old fishing village a great place to have some fun. Downtown St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful waterfront cities in the country, is in the midst of a cultural renaissance. Impressive collections at the Museum Of Fine Arts, The Salvador Dali Museum and the St. Pete Museum Of History are just the beginning. Excellent restaurants, galleries, sports bars, attractions and architecture make this walkable downtown a wonderful place to visit!
There is a lot to do and see here in St. Pete but you may NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THIS GREAT HOUSE!

Romantic getaway
Guest: Balto

Date of Stay: 01/08/12
Review Submitted: 02/02/12
My husband and I stayed at this home the week of Jan.13th,2012. We thought the property was clean, had everything that was advertised, and all the comforts of our own home. The home was warm and inviting and everything we needed was there. We enjoyed the out door space very much. The back yard/pool area was an oasis with out door speakers to play music. not a bad selection of music on CD. The home owner called the second day to check in to make sure all was well. A nice touch. We would return to this property in the future and recomend it to our friends as well.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

Yes. Gorgeous. Tropical. Tranquil. This is the absolute BARGIN of all VRBOs!! A beautiful, beautiful home filled with absolutely everything you will need for your vacation. Trust me: you will NOT find a nicer host, a more comfortable home, or a better "Get away from it all" spot. We spent our Thanksgiving with friends here, and the kitchen had everything one could ever need to keep even the fussiest of chefs happy. You will LOVE this home, and the tranquil yard/pool/cabana/pond..........

I was skeptical that this place wouldn't live up to all the reviews and pictures, and the truth is, it's even better in person! Not only is it ideally located and beautiful inside and out, we were surprised at how kid-friendly it was for us, which was a huge bonus! We have 4-year old twins who were super excited to see a library of kid's books, videos and board games not to mention the pool and beach toys available for our use. Really made traveling with little ones easy and special for us all. Brand new kitchen made cooking enjoyable and easy as well. Thank you, Robb, for being such an incredible host! It was GREAT!

The description of this house is very accurate. The pictures are great but being there in person is even better. We were on a "girls" get away and they only thing we would have done different is...we would have stayed longer! Very relaxing...listening to the waterfall, lounging around the pool, ......we had everything we needed and then some. Robb is so nice and helpful - even called us after our first day to make sure everything was ok. Location is nice...within minutes of beaches, restraunts, shopping. (What else do you really need?)
Recommended for:Girls getaway.

We all loved staying in your tropical paradise home. It has everything needed for a perfect getaway. House is very spacious, immaculate, and very user friendly. It is convenient to shopping, restaurants, and wonderful beaches and sightseeing. We all had a great time including our two Bichons. Robb, you are a great host.

My husband and I scheduled a last minute getaway and we truly lucked out in finding this beautiful house to rent for a few days. We enjoyed every minute of our stay - the interior and exterior of the house are truly spectacular and welcoming in every way. The house was immaculate and the owner has literally thought of every amenity that might make your stay that much more comfortable and fun. It was close proximity to everything we wanted to do, and Robb's map made finding things SO simple. I really don't have enough great things to say about our visit. We will definitly be returning as soon as possible - I can't imagine a better place to spend a vacation.

This home is truly accessible to all of West and Central Florida Penisula. The home itself is warm and welcoming. All amenities are as described or better than described. It is a quiet neighborhood with access to many local eateries, beaches and amusement areas. We were 20 minutes from Tropicana Field and 30 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Words cannot describe how happy we, as a family, were with these accomodations. The pool, video gaming system, books and board games were enjoyed by all. Outside: many quiet areas to relax. And Boris (Turtle) was a hit with the kids. Many thanks to our gracious host, Mr. Robert Kursch. Oh and as promised, The Lo Mein and Fried Rice at the GREAT WALL are in our opinion the best in Gulfport. (Only fried rice and lo mein we ate).

Robb's house has a wonderfully landscaped exterior and exquistely designed interior. No expense has been spared to offer his guests a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Robb provides everything needed for an absolute worry free vacation from beach chairs and toys to blue ray movies for a cozy family evening. Having 3 children plus my grandmother with us, it was nice to only have to pack clothes knowing that Robb's setup caters to everyone of all ages. We took advantage of Robb's restaurant recommendations and enjoyed the great St. Pete beaches and local activities. I understand why Robb has so many return guests, as we will become one ourselves. The only warning I have is is you will have to book early! Thanks for everything Robb!

Tropical Oasis

Review Submitted: 05/26/10
Robb's home is truely a piece of heaven here on earth. The lush garden and pool area is a tropical Oasis. Everything that you could think of is at hand. The home is warm and inviting, wonderfully decorated, and emaculate. It comes with all the modern conveniences. It's central to most major attractions and a few minutes from white sand filled beaches. Robb is a wonderful host and ensures that his guests are well taken care of. He is a very warm and caring person. We had one of the best vacations. And we can't wait to come back next year to this wonderful Oasis. We highly recommend Robb's home for a vacation. Thanks Robb for allowing us to share your special home.

We can only reiterate all the positive comments on the website regarding Robb's house. The house and the garden were even better than the description. We loved the garden which accommodated the needs of all whether worshippers of the sun or those who loved the shade and of course Boris was a big hit! Inside was really homely with everything one could possibly need. Having been visiting the area regularly for the past 4 years we just wish we had come across Robb's house sooner.
