A very good vacation, the villa was perfect for my family who loves to swim morning, noon and night. Clearwater beach is highly recommended as I have never been in water so warm and sand so soft. Thanks for the memories!!

We enjoyed our staying at your villa.We truly relaxed during our time there.Great Pine Island beach nearby is just so perfect .Our daughter enjoyed finding big crabs there.It was fun to visit Weeki Wachee Springs as well. You can really unwind there.Villa itself offers everything you need and it was great having breakfast next to the pool under the screen, listening to cicadas.We would love to return there as soon as we can.We definitely recommend staying there and we are in awe how great everything is organized.Thanks!

The home was extremely clean and had great amenities. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all the needed items, pool was refreshing, gas grill was perfect for a cookout by the pool. Family area was great for playing games and watching TV. Wireless internet was a plus and neighborhood is great for walking the dogs. Location is very close to shopping and restaurants (less than 5 minutes) and close to the Suncoast Expressway for quick access to the Tampa area.

We enjoyed our vacation in this area so much, we have been telling everyone about it and encouraging anyone to go. We had a very mixed group, ranging in age from 3 months to 60 years of age. The property is very well represented by the pictures on this site, and is very clean and comfortable. Eight of us stayed very comfortably, the split floorplan was a plus. We were very close to shopping centers of every kind. We enjoyed being in close proximity to grocery stores, since we cooked at home most of the time to save money. Cooking there was like cooking at home. They had everything you needed. We kayaked on a local spring and saw some manatees and beautiful surroundings. We drove to a beach one day and had an enjoyable day, but the pool at the house was our focal point. We could be together outside and my son (who is 5) became part fish:) I highly recommend the property!! The owners were very helpful and quickly answered any questions we had. We loved it!!

Enjoyed our stay immensely. House was beautiful and well-maintained. All amenities advertised were there. The larger-than-normal pool was a nice surprise and having it heated at no extra charge was also a nice addition to the rental. Would recommend it to anyone and would stay there again, if I have the number of people necessary to rent it. It was very close to many restaurants and shopping areas and close to the main highway leading north and south.

Owner response:We are glad your stay was up to expectations and thank you for the kind feedback and your recommendations to others. We always aim to offer good quality and high value for all renters.

I guess this sums it up.....we've spent two winters here and have already booked for next year. Wonderful people to work with, house is very well laid out, pool is fabulous, lots of room for company, within an hours drive of a lot of great places. The house is stocked like your own house would be with patio dishes, cutlery, regular dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans, beach towels. We've been home 2 weeks now and sure do miss it!

Owner response:Thank you for your positive comments. We always aim to ensure we have satisfied customers and are very happy to have so many return renters. We look forward to having you back next year.

Wonderful place to stay and entertain

My partner and I spend our Christmas vacation visiting family in Florida and from the time we walked in the front doors we were amazed. The pictures on VRBO were nice and we expected nice but the accommodations were so much more than that. The villa was extremely clean and everything we needed was at our finger tips. The blender, the coffee maker, the cable T.V, free phone service, WiFi, and the plasticware for the patio everything we needed was provided. We entertained our family a few evenings during our stay and everything that we needed was available, it was like being in our own home. Carl & Dora were wonderful hosts. We have already recommended the villa to some of our friends and we would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a home away from home because that is how it felt. Thank you again Carl & Dora for making our stay so enjoyable.

My family enjoyed the home very much. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate so we could not use the pool but it was very nice and tempting even in the cold. The home is located in a nice quiet neighborhood. The wi-fi was extremely helpful and fast. The master bedroom is big and beautiful. We only used 3 of the 6 beds available and found them all to be very comfortable. The Greek City Cafe is located not far away and we visited it several times during our five days. They have great meals to offer. I especially loved the Strawberry salad.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind comments - we always aim to offer a good value, high quality vacation with no problems but unfortunately can't guarantee the weather which has been unusually cold by Florida standards this past few weeks. We hope to see you again in the future.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this villa. The 4 bedrooms were perfect for all of us to fit in. The pool was the favorite spot from morning until evening. Our 6 year old learned how to swim, it was great. We often used the outdoor grill to prepare our evening meal. Carl was very quick to answer questions and address concerns. Thank you for a special vacation that we won't forget.

Hi Folks We just wanted to let you know that we had a great stay at your home in Spring Hill. We found it was a great central location for our two families to vacation. This is our seventh year renting a house in Florida and this was by far the best value for our money. You were also the nicest people to deal with and we look forward to returning again sometime soon. Thank you. The Hughes' & The Cannings, Prince Edward Island, Canada
