Unbelievably beautiful spot with sunsets you have to see to believe. Fantastic 80 ft lap pool used by all the group every day and suitable for really keen swimmers. Very spacious accommodation. Highlight of the week must go to the TWO days we spent out with Captain Todd on his boat cruising around the sand bars, watching dolphins and just generally chilling out in the extreme. We will go back again ! Highly recommended place to get away from the stresses of everyday life!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

This was the most fantastic, relaxing, peaceful, calm and rejuvinating holiday we have had. The location, the views, the wildlife and the sunsets absolutely blew our minds. The house is home from home with everything you could possibly need from a BBQ to pancake gridle, from a pier to fish from to the most gorgeous pool and deck area. The inside has a huge TV and 2 loungers made of velour - an absolute dream for night time watching the movies. There is a great video and book collection as well as laundry facilities. The location is about 2 hours drive from Orlando which is mainly on motorway - really easy to find and Dianne could not have been more helpful to us. In the surrounding vicinity there is a bird nature reserve, a beautiful little fishing town called Tarpon Springs (lovely fish restaurants) as well as only being about 20 minutes from Tampa and Clearwater. We did very little when we were there other than marvel at the views, the sunsets and the wildlife in our own 'back yard'. We will definately be back sometime next year. It is one of those places that will be imprinted on my mind for the rest of my life. Magical...............Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Many Thanks for your appreciation of A Piece of Heaven and all the beauty it has to offer . Our Guests are very special and we strive to make your vacation the best ever !

The house has a unique location with a fantastic view and a very nice pool. Taste differ but in our opinion everything was to worn-out and did not match the price we paied. There is plenty of space in the house and all equipment that is needed to live in the house for a week. The owner is friendly and helpful when we lived in the house, but we had several dificulties getting feedback from her on our e-mails when the house was book. And when deposit should have been returned we had to call and e-mail owner several times and wait for weeks which utterly depraved our experience some.Recommended for: Families with young children.
Owner response: Jesper. It was very nice meeting you and your family at A Piece of heaven, if there may have been a language barrier it's possible with you from Denmark and me being an Aussie, however, the children all spoke perfect English, and you and the wife indicated were very pleased with the home/pool etc. As we were unable to get any private banking details from you, we had no alternative but to mail you a cheque, long way to go but we can't be responsible for the US mail delivery, however you did send an email when you received as I had requested. Thank you again and hopefully you will come back and enjoy UTOPIA! Best Wishes, Dianne

A Piece of Rundown Real Estate!

To say we were disappointed with this property is an understatement - we stayed less than 24 hours and had to leave. It was dirty, run down and broken! Bird droppings all over the deck, a kitchen that hadn't been cleaned properly, cupboards full of "stuff", bed very uncomfortable (very old mattress?!), broken cupboard doors, poor (unsafe?) electrical wiring. This property needs a major overhaul, particularly to justify the high price that is charged. Even when complaining, no offer of compensation and communication from the owner non existent. We wouldn't recommend this property at all.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 11/11

The view from the deck is serene and beautiful, we spent every night just watching the calm of the ocean, and the mornings spotting stingrays and crabs. It's within a nice driving distance of Seaworld as we spent one day there. It was my mom's first time seeing the ocean. It was also a 60th birthday present for my dad and we also celebrated my daughter's first birthday that week as well- we made a lot of wonderful memories.Recommended for: Age 55+.

Very nice clean home with huge Pool! Very peaceful to sit on the dock or by the pool of an evening and watch the sunset. Good place for family time with a big heated pool and ocean view all to yourself. We saw all kinds of marine life from dolphins,stingray, shark and small crabs. Close to Busch Gardens, Restaurants, Grocery store,and shopping. We were only away from the place 1 day to go to Busch Gardens.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: The Boat Trip to the Island right from our dock was such a highlight they were in awe with the dolphins, white sandy beaches, 100yr old ligjhthouse and swimming in the aquamarine gulf. do come back, and do it all again you are such a lovely young family. Dianne

I recently booked a Piece of Heaven for a week-long family gathering, and it turned out to be the absolutely ideal choice. Clean, comfortable, welcoming, mellow, laid-back, close both to the wonderful Greek restaurants in Tarpon Springs and the pristine beaches of Anclote Key, this is a perfect get-away. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, the lap pool refreshing, the beds comfortable, the gulf views enchanting--who could find fault with a tropical respite complete with Tiki Bar, a resident Great Blue Heron, delightfully retro exotic decorations, and (if you must) hi-speed wifi? To top it off, the owner, Dianne, is very helpful and has a great sense of humor and detailed knowledge of the area. This is a terrific place, and we will certainly return at our first opportunity.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

With mother-in law, teenagers, and a very picky wife, finally I did something right by booking this amazing home....our vacation was just the best ever, with all being rapt, I was able to chill and fish from the dock in peace ! The house is very stylish and the beds were most comfortable, it was a perfect location with water all around, we saw dolphins swim by the dock, and pelicans diving into the water to catch their meal. The big lap pool and hot tub were well used, the kids just loved all the amenities! Close to everything, yet far away to be totally serene and private. Thanks to the owner for her suggestions on dining and nearby places of interest. Sponge Docks were most unique and the food at the waterside restaurants was delicious. We have decided to book for next Spring Break so thanks again for your hospitality and sharing your fantastic home with us.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Our family take a yearly vacation to Florida, my wife found this amazing home so she booked it. Kudos to her as we have found just the perfect place for all future vacations. The home is beautiful with very modern decor and lots of unique accessories from the Australian Owner who has shared them with her renters, Dianne is very helpful and lots of fun. The lap pool is simply fabulous and while we relaxed in the sunshine we saw many dolphins swim by the dock, the kids were in awe. The views are spectacular along with the sunsets, the location is very private, yet close to grocery stores, Sponge docks, also we visited Busch Gardens, most of the time we just enjoyed these fabulous surroundings. Our boat trip to the island was another highlight, fetching shells and walking the sandy beach, while the kids snorkelled in the aquamarine waters. Thanks again for your kind hospitality...we'll be back in 2011!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.
