Very clean property

This property is exactly as advertised. Home had everything needed for a weeks long stay. Pool was perfect. The boat made our trip! We used it nearly everyday. We took it to Anclote and saw dolphins and rays. Eric, the property manager, was very easily accessible and attentive. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

Perfect Vacay Spot!!

This house has everything you need and more! It was easy to book through Patrick and the host Eric was readily available for questions. Having a boat was amazing as we went to Anclote Island, the sandbar, and caught too many fish to count!! We visited the Sponge docks and ate way too much Greek food!! The sunrise and sunsets on the boat were beautiful, the neighborhood was close to everything and the neighbors were so nice. My favorite thing was making family memories in a perfect setting! Thank you Patrick and Eric, we will be back

Excellent Family Vacation

The house was clean and very well-stocked. It was much more spacious than we expected, and as a family of 4 we could spread out and relax. The pool was so nice and we spent a lot of time fishing off the dock and enjoying the water view. We took the boat out a few times, but we felt like it was mostly bonus since we ventured to Clearwater and Tampa a few times for beach and shopping for a great week.

Great!

We spent a month in Patrick’s home and our time there was wonderful. Located in a quiet neighborhood, the house was exactly as described & very clean. We enjoyed the outdoor area with heated pool, dining set & grill. The pontoon boat was great and a fun way to explore the island & sandbar. Patrick was very responsive & we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Can't wait to return

Wonderful property! We chose it because the rental included use of the boat, but the house was everything that we needed. 2 nice sized bedrooms and 2 full baths. Wonderful outdoor area, nice pool, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and furniture. We brought our own, but, the owner provided coolers, a beach umbrella, fishing equipment etc. Nice neighbors as well. We had a great time!

Perfect

The home was better than the listing says. It was very clean, had lots of extras from cooking utensils to beach chairs and umbrella. The pool was great after the day out. We caught fish off the dock and took the pontoon to the island a few times. My kids said it was the best vacation ever! I highly recommended going to the rusty bucket bait shop if you plan on fishing. They can tell you anything about fishing you want to know! If you are having any doubts about booking this, stop and book it! It’s perfect! I had questions about the area before the trip and the host was quick to respond. We even had to change the dates of the trip and he made it super easy.

Great Fun! Private pool is always a plus. Boat is nice. Patio is great for morning coffee, or afternoons grilling out. My kids became semi-pro billards players while we were there. You never realize how fast a week goes by, when your having fun. Hopefully next year we can spend two weeks here.

1st VRBO experience

For are very first VRBO stay we choose this beautiful canal property. The pictures listed look just like the property. It was perfect for are family of 4. The kitchen had everything, and the house was very inviting with a beachy feeling. Are weather was not the best so we didn’t get to enjoy the boat unfortunately so one thing I suggest is buy the extra weather insurance do not be like me and assume it just those Florida pop up showers. We went to 3 different beaches Honeymoon Island was are Favorite. The neighborhood is nice safe place. There was tons of grocery and shopping around this home with a short drive. Patrick the owner responded quickly super friendly. Eric the property manager was very helpful and responsive. The kids loved the pool. So with this being are 1st VRBO stay it was a family win regardless the weather. This home was beautiful. Also check out Jimmys Neighborhood Restaurant their Pizza is delicious. Thanks Patrick for sharing your beautiful waterfront home with us. We also enjoy watching fireworks from the back patio that surrounding neighborhoods were letting off.

family friendly

Tropical storm Fay decided to vacation in florida the same week as us. Lucky for us, we used the boat the first day, so we were able to see just how close we were to open water. The location of the house, the pool and the area were great. Especially, if you enjoy a calm vacation without all the bars and crowds. We would recommend driving to Tarpon Springs to look around at the neat shops. (it's very close), and a drive down to Clearwater Beach (also close). The dogs would recommend the dog park. Even with all the rain, we had a great time. We would love to stay there forever.

Hello, my name is Patrick and I have owned my Anchor's Away home since 2005. I am all about providing an exceptional experience for everyone who stays at my home. I would like my home to help create lifelong memories that are enjoyed and shared for many years to come.

Why they chose this property

I was visiting a friend and just fell in love with the area. It's one of the most peaceful places to visit along with great fishing, the sandbar and great neighbors. My family and friends also love the opportunity to vacation at Anchor's Away.

What makes this property unique

Private pool and free use of Pontoon boat. Easy access to the Gulf to spend a day fishing on anchor to the sandbar. You also have access to a private beach about 1 mile from my home. Your only a short drive to Tarpon's Spring and about 30 minutes to Clearwater Beach.
