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.

Beautiful house, nice Neighbors and prlenty of room!!! Two things I would recommend: i am a bigger guy and was a little nervous in the dock,the dock could use a little TLC. The only other thing all the remotes for the light and fans. If they were labeled it would help alot.The house is far enough way from places you don't have the traffic, but close enough , that it doesn't take an hour to get from anywhere in and around Tampa!!!

Really liked the place! Beautiful small house, in a very quiet neighborhood. Just the right size for 4 adults and 4 kids under 14. Kids shared a twin size bunk bed, so it was like a sleepover for them. The rooms are small but cozy. The house is well maintained and the porch is screened in, to keep the bugs out. Drive to the beach and local attractions from here can be 40 minutes to an hour, but didn’t feel too bad, as traffic was light while we visited.
