The house was perfect for our family's long weekend in Tarpon Springs. The house was spotless when we arrived. It is very well furnished and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool one of the days and really liked the large spacious layout of the house. The location is perfect! Everything we wanted to do was probably 2 miles or less away. We will definitely stay here again. The owners and the property manager were very helpful and responsive.

The photos on the website does not due it justice. The vacation rental is beautiful and very nicely decorated. Home was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. We enjoyed spending time cooking inside along with grilling outside since we had everything we needed. The grandchildren truly enjoyed the pool.Our host was gracious enough to make sure the pool was heated.

Family vacation

The house is set up very well to cook and visit with a large group. Everyone in the group enjoyed the open floor plan and fenced in back yard. The four bedrooms were quiet and comfortable to sleep in. Overall, a very good house to stay at especially for a larger group.

Perfect house for vacation

The home was perfect for a holiday weekend for our couples retreat. We enjoyed the local area one day and decided to grill and hang poolside all day on another. There were floats already inflated and the water temp was great. Plenty of supplies provided by the host. I highly recommend booking this stay!

Great house with a great location. Stayed with family and spent a lot of time catching up. Location is close to everything you might need. Sponge Docks are a few minuets away. You can walk to sunset beach or easily ride a bike. The pool was crystal clean and the house was perfect.

Great vacation spot close to the beach but feels small town

Great house with a heated pool! Rooms are big and bed are comfortable. Lots of greek restaurants and community around. Manager always responded quickly with any questions or concerns. We had to stay an extra day for some unforeseen circumstances and the managers helped out tremendously and was much appreciated. Would recommend to anyone looking for a house walking distance to the beach and heated pool.

Beautiful Family Vacation

A solid five stars for this charming home in Tarpon Springs. The house is dramatically decorated and furnished, and has that great pool which was heated as an added treat. The hosts were attentive and the house was clean and well equipped. Two beaches are within a few minutes, and other attractions are nearby. We enjoyed several great restaurants in downtown Tarpon Springs. Hope to come back again. Bob and Carol

heavenly pool

House was beautiful and spacious, communication with owner/manage was easy and helpful, but out favorite part was the heated pool. We swam with manatees, visited a sick Uncle, walked the beaches and the docks, but at the end of each day coming home to a quiet, heated pool helped us to relax and unwind. Thank you for sharing such an incredible Oasis.

This was by far the BEST vacation house I have ever been in. The pool was AMAZING!!! It was so amazing that the kids only spent 1hr at the beach the entire time there. My parents and the kids loved the house and thanks for being so responsive. I will definitely be back and I rate this experience 10 stars ⭐️. Thanks again for the experience. You have a beautiful home.

All around excellence!!

We came down to see family. This place did not disappoint. My husband and three teenagers had enough room to spread out and relax. The kitchen was nicely stocked with quality cookware and gadgets. The furniture was comfortable with plenty of seating for everyone. The sheets on all the beds were nice quality (which tends to be a problem a lot of rentals) and the three bathrooms were nicely spread out. This place was centrally located and we enjoyed many activities up and down the coast. The hosts were easy to get a hold of and responded immediately. I would definitely recommend this rental if you’re planning on visiting the area.

Great home for your friends and family

From booking through check out this home is by far the best rental home booking we have ever stayed at. The owners were incredibly receptive and happy to assist us before and during your stay. The house was clean and laid out to accomodate a large group and still feel homey to have a family meeting place for drinks and a dinner or breakfast. Thoughtful touches everywhere...couch throws, pool towels, games, dinnerware and glass for your group. Perfect setup to have a baby there too. It took awhile for me to go back and rent a home for travel, but this house gave me new hope. I can't say enough how great this experience was and how the owners made us feel at home in their home. We will be back!

Perfect getaway!

We had a large party - 6 adults and 4 toddlers - and this space was perfect. All 3 families had their own space that we could retreat to. The kitchen had all the essentials we needed, including storage containers. We comfortably cooked several meals there. We were able to easily park 2 midsized SUVs and a truck in the large driveway. Matthew, the property manager, reached out before checkin to give some helpful instructions and was available 24 hours a day. The checkout list was short and easy to take care of in the morning. The property was clean, comfortable, and stylish. We spent lots of time in the pool, with some floats and toys on property. There was a Keurig and drip coffee maker available. It was a great location - 4 minutes to the beach and 8 to the Sponge Docks. There were beach chairs and supplies available to borrow, too. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Knightley

Host profile image
Paul and Jacquelynn met 18 years ago in Santa Barbara California where we both grew up. We have 3 children, 8 years old, 5 years old, and 4 years old. Sunset Oasis is where we plan on retiring when that time comes.

Why they chose this property

We first came to Tarpon Springs 15 years ago and fell in love with the area, the people, and the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. We bought Sunset Oasis in 2021 because of the proximity to all the area has to offer and the house was completely remodeled top to bottom. The swimming pool is amazing and offers beautiful Florida Sunsets.

What makes this property unique

Sunset Oasis has been completely renovated, new AC, Plumbing, Electrical and the Swimming Pool and yard are Amazing. The open plan and kitchen are perfect for your whole family, as it is ours. You will not be disappointed.
