Our group of 18 had a wonderful weekend! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. The location was quiet, yet convenient to many points of interest. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing stay for my bachelorette weekend! Our group felt like the house was truly a dream. Lauren and Ron were incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials.The location was also very convenient, close to the beach and not far from downtown St. Pete. The backyard felt like a private resort, with beautiful outdoor furniture, a pool, and a jacuzzi that we absolutely loved.We also had such a lovely chef who came to the house and did an amazing job with everything she made us - would definitely recommend! Her instagram handle is: The_culinary_queenLauren and Ron were quick to respond to any questions and checked in to make sure everything was perfect after we arrived. I’m so glad we chose to stay here and would definitely come back again!
We were in town for our daughter's wedding being held nearby. My family stayed at this beautiful home. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at home. The home is so clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked with very thoughtful items from toiletries to a coffee bar. The host was very easy to work with and very responsive if we had a question. The grounds are beautiful with a fantastic pool and outdoor kitchen area. I can't say enough how much my family enjoyed it. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us!
Our stay at this home was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at ease. The house itself is beautifully maintained—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and filled with extra touches that made it feel like a true home away from home.The setting was peaceful and relaxing, with plenty of space to unwind both indoors and outdoors. Every detail seemed carefully considered, from the comfortable beds and fresh linens to the well-equipped kitchen and outdoor entertainment area by the beautiful pool. We especially appreciated the quiet mornings with coffee on the patio and the evenings spent enjoying the serene atmosphereThis guest house is the perfect blend of comfort, elegance, and hospitality. We left feeling refreshed, grateful for spending time with family and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home with its large gathering spaces, abundance of bath/beach towels, a really cool outdoor kitchen and a phenomenal pool area! There were toys and rafts we were able to use, a well stocked kitchen/home, a convenient central laundry room, and we only had a short drive to just about any beach we wanted to explore. Late night noises from laughter in the kitchen/dining area didn’t travel throughout the house - which was greatly appreciated by those trying to sleep. Getting to Lake Seminole was a bit tricky and some of the listed bedrooms had no doors. It was so nice to have ample parking and nights were peaceful and quiet. Our family ranged from a five month old infant, teenagers, adults and some of us in our 50s and 60s. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
There are no words to describe how amazing this property is and how incredible the hosts will serve you! I brought a group of 12 women here for women's retreat and literally they said they felt like they were in heaven! The pictures do not even do justice. It looked awesome in the photos but when we arrived it was so much more than the photos could have even shown. It is massive, with room for everyone to spread out and to have wonderful Fellowship time. The pool is beautiful and the hot tub was awesome at night. The fire pit is five star as well. At night when it becomes dark and all the lights come on in the property it is absolutely magical. One of the best parts was just knowing how responsive the host was when we had any little question. We will definitely go back!
The pictures don't do this beautiful property justice! The rooms in the house are enormous and so comfortable. We had a party of 5 families, 10 adults and 10 kids. We were there for Phillies Spring Training. The location was perfect, near a Publix and Walgreens and 25 minutes away from Baycare Stadium. We speant time in the heated pool and hot tub, played ping pong, corn hole and used the fire pit for s'mores. We grilled in the outside kitchen and drank whiskey in tbe piano room. I wish I had room in my house for the couch in the living room! You really just have to pack clothes and toiletries and everything else is provided. Our group hopes to return next year.
The house was great and more than enough space. We were traveling by bus and the road was quite narrow. That is not a negative thing, just might be helpful if you are traveling by bus. The only suggestion I have is that a floor plan would be very helpful in planning, but that may not be possible.
