We use VRBO for all our vacations and this is one of the best finds so far. Everything was perfect! The owners are really attentive down to the smallest details of what any vacationer would need. (Fishing rods, small ice chests, plenty of towels and blankets, etc). The home has its' own off street parking (close enough to John's Pass to walk to save you the $10 parking fee). Some of our favorite details were: the keys clearly marked beside the door on lanyards making them easy to keep up with, the pool floats, the beach chairs, the towels laid out on couch to use to protect couches, the old towels to use for whatever so you don't have to worry about messing up good ones, the large beach towels, the decor is beautiful, the small table in living room with beach view, the large tv, the handsoap in bathroom, the cold drinks and wine in refrigerator waiting on us, the comfy bed, the hangers in closet for clothes, the nightlight in bathroom, the pool illuminated at night, the gorgeous sunsets, the convenience of walking out your door straight onto the beach, the outdoor grill is easy to use, ...I could go on and on...basically we loved everything! We will definitely use this home every time we come to the area. The extra bonus treat was that we got to spend the week with Betsy ,the owner, she made us feel so welcome, like family and it was comforting to know she was right next door if we needed her. I highly recommend staying here if you are a small family wanting privacy on the beach. Favorite finds: the wine place,The Florida Winery at John's Pass, they

have really good wine and wine freezes perfect for a refresher on a hot day, the salmon sandwich at Friendly Fisherman Restaurant is great, a really good fresh Italian restaurant is the Villa Gallace in Indian Rock but know it's a little more than other restaurants and they charge per refill for sodas - perfect for a special occasion meal. Also, if you ride bicycles, I suggest bringing them and riding the Pinellas trail. We did a 60 miles round trip a previous year (couldn't because of baby this year). It's really neat to travel safely through a bunch of towns on bike.
