Super clean, amazing house with an old-school coastal Florida feeling. Close to everything but secluded enough to be quiet. Amazing host who responds quick and is there to care for his guests. Definitely a place to return to.

This house was perfect for our family. We loved the peaceful view and sitting on the deck. Thankfully there were no events going on so the only noise we heard was the sound of trains passing by in the distance.
Brought our paddle boards with us to enjoy the River.
Dolphins swam up close to us when we were near the bridge.

Gary is a great host. Answered all my questions about the property. The location in the water couldn’t be beat. Close to Tampa but relaxing away from city traffic. Easy to get to airport and Busch gardens and lots of food options around.

The property was great! Very clean! Nice screened in back porch. Beds were very comfortable. I wish the master bedroom had a bigger bed. It was a full or queen but was tight with me and husband. Warning there is no dishwasher but a very spacious kitchen. I would stay here again.
