We loved our stay here! The hosts were gracious and welcoming from the first communication, and they were attentive and available during our stay. The house had tons of rooms for all of our family, and the spacious common areas meant lots of room for visiting, cooking, games, and hanging out! There were tears when it was time to leave our holiday oasis...

While we liked the pool and the large house with so many bedrooms and bathrooms, the property need a lot of TLC. I messaged the host with all of the items we found needing repair, cleaning, etc.
it was a great place to stay, so big, really good for big group. the in law suite was so nice too. pool is an added plus points.the house is clean.the man cave was awesome, we didn't expect that.the carpet above smells nice, no musty smell. am allergic to carpet but not that. good job.
House is very nice. Lots of room for everyone. Bedrooms are big and beds are comfortable. Sink was clogged but Kai was prompt responding to issue and sent a plumber the next day. House is 3.5 miles from Indian Rocks Beach (beautiful beach with soft white sand). Definitely would stay again.
We had a great time! The house was very accommodating. The beds were so comfortable and the pool/hot tub were the best we’ve had anywhere. The “Mother In Law” suite was a wonderful addition to this property! Thank you again for a great family vacation!!
The house is a great size for a big family to have plenty of space. The game room & back yard was a hit with the kids. And we all loved the pool. I liked the updated decor and plush bedding. Overall the house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We stayed 10 days… it’s close to stores and beaches no problem getting what we wanted. There’s also plenty of parking, I also liked how private the location of the house is. It felt very homey. I would definitely recommend, Kai is also very informative and responsive.
This house is beautiful. It's huge with plenty of room for our family of 11. Everyone was able to have their own bed. There were plenty of essentials including towels, both bath and pool. Wish I had know that ahead of time because we packed beach towels which take up a lot of room in luggage as we flew down to FL. We would stay here again.
Beautiful home with plenty of room for our large group. Spacious living area and bedrooms.Pool and spa were very nice and heated! Large yard with basketball area, outdoor fire pit, and zip line.Highly recommended!
We had an awesome experience with our stay, for our International Meetings. House was clean, spacious, pool was the highlight for everyone. We really enjoyed our time at the house.
This beautiful home was the perfect place for us to stay for our daughter’s college graduation. Extremely spacious, fantastic for our friends and family to stay and celebrate. Plenty of parking, huge yard, swimming pool, game room. Kitchen and dining room were perfect!!! I definitely recommend this to anyone with a large family or group of friends.
This house was perfect for our group! We were attending an event in St Petersburg and the drive was an easy 30 minutes. The house is beautiful and spacious and the highlight is definitely the huge back yard with a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs and of course the screened-in pool and hot tub. The pool and hot tub is a bit complicated - we were sent very detailed instructions but still found ourselves confused and needed to reach out for help a couple times. The communication was quick and detailed which was greatly appreciated! Absolutely would stay here again if we ever return to the area.

Thank you for your kind words Eric! We're so glad you enjoyed the home, especially the backyard and pool area. We appreciate your feedback on the spa and will work on making it even easier to use. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime! 😊✨
Surprisingly, the host’s excellent communication was one of the main highlights of this stay. Everything was so easy because I had all of my instructions early and would receive answers right away for any questions that I did have. The home is beautiful and the backyard was perfect for our small 40 guest wedding! All of the guests were asking how we found this house and a few had me send them the info so that they could rent here in the future. Altogether a perfect house for any event or even to just vacation with friends and family!
The house itself was very clean, modern, and spacious. The pool area could use some TLC, and heating the pool was a bit unintuitive and cumbersome.
Neighborhood was ok...some shacks, some really nice houses. Par for the course for Florida.
Kai (owner) was attentive and helpful.

Derek, Thank you for the honest review and for staying with us. Your feedback post-stay is extremely helpful. Since your stay, we replaced the pool equipment and patio furniture as well as pressure-washed the pool lanai and exterior of the home. I hope we can create more memories in the future. Kindly, Kai and the Pear Team.
The house was perfect for our large group for spring break. There was so much space to spread out. The game room was a huge hit for the kids. The pool and hot tub were great! With just a short drive to the beach, the location was perfect.
The yard was huge and offered everything from hammocking, to basketball/baseball, and campfires!
Down the road, there is a park that was wonderful for walks and skateboarding!
Both hosts were excellent at communication, answering all of our questions promptly.
Overall, it was a wonderful week filled with fun! Thank you so much!
An absolute beautiful home, kinda looked shady driving down the stone road to find the best looking house on the street. This house had everything we needed for our group. My now wife and I got this house for our wedding party and comfortably slept us all. We would all definitely stay there again. There were a few minor things “wrong” but nothing that affected our stay, just a few cosmetics that we didn’t know about. All in all this house was amazing from the layout to the backyard to the super comfortable beds. I’d highly recommend this place and would definitely come back.
Beautiful home, well equipped, clean, and spacious. Loved the pool area. Used it a ton. Responsive host. Didn’t love the neighborhood but found it convenient, easy access and close to beaches. 3 miles to 8 miles to various beaches. Mostly used Tiki Gardens parking lot, plenty of spaces, bathroom available, easy crossover to beach. Used Indian Rocks beach chair co to rent chair. They deliver and pickup, very good service. Overall stay in the house was excellent. Suited my large family very well.

Christine, Thank you for staying with us and for this thoughtful review. I'm very happy to hear your positive experience's with our recommendations. Wishing you a brilliant 2022!
Nestled within the tranquil embrace of a VRBO luxury private villa, we discovered a haven of opulence and charm. The residence boasts a pristine, brand-new pool and spa heater, enveloping guests in warmth and relaxation. The bedsheets, exuding comfort, beckon weary travelers to surrender to blissful repose within the expansive and sumptuous rooms.
A zip line, gracefully traversing above verdant bushes and across the sprawling expanse of the park-sized backyard, adds an exhilarating dimension to the retreat. Amidst the symphony of a heavy, intense rainstorm, we found solace in the embrace of the hot tub, indulging in the exquisite taste of fine single malt scotch. Meanwhile, the allure of cinematic delights beckoned the family, as each member selected their preferred movie from the array of TVs and nestled comfortably upon plush couches.
Our stay, deserving of five stars, was elevated by the culinary prowess of my discerning wife, who conjured magnificent home-cooked meals. As dusk descended, the crackling fires kindled a sense of camaraderie and contentment, uniting us in shared moments of warmth and laughter.
The pièce de résistance, however, was the unparalleled hospitality and professionalism exemplified by our hosts, Kai and Sofia. Their attentive care and gracious demeanor added a magical touch to our sojourn, ensuring that our return is not merely a possibility but a cherished annual tradition.

I liked the home.
We enjoyed our stay but the house needs some attention. We walked in the front door and the first thing you see is the stair railing had been broke off by previous tenants. Leaving four holes in the wall and no handrail going up steep stairs on one side. The air conditioning worked well downstairs. Upstairs was unbearable all day all night. Our stay was the beginning of May average temperature was 70 to 85 . This should be fixed. Had this been mentioned in previous reviews that the five bedrooms upstairs were unbearable we probably would have made a different decision on choosing this home as more than half of the party suffered day and night in these hot bedrooms. We were asked to do odd things for instance take large covers off propane tanks reach our arm down take a picture of the gauge both when we got there and when we left. This sounds like a maintenance job to me not a guests job. We chose to not have the pool or Spa heated because the average temperature was going to be in the 80s we thought the pool would be warm enough and it was. However the property managers kept wanting us to mess around with the pool it would stop filtering and so they would tell us to go outside move this bar push this button turn this knob. Making us feel like we are maintenance people rather than guests. We did not want to do this. As if something happened or we push the wrong button or turned the wrong knob and damage something then it would be on us. Other than these complaints the house was nice had plenty of everything .Pots and pans could use some upgrading though I have to mention that.

I am limited to 1500 characters, or I would go into more detail.
The property is beautiful, centralized, and very quiet. The home was extremely spacious as we had close to 20 family members attend. It, however, had no toilet paper in it, we had to purchase that upon arriving.
Here are the issues we faced, stemming from communications with the property management company.
1) We were offered an additional night (Sat) at a reduced rate. I accepted this offer but had to ask many times for the additional invoice to be sent so that I could pay it. I had requested the change on VRBO as instructed, but still this was not resolved until 4 days before check in.
2) Upon arrival at 4:15pm we found that the door codes provided would not work. We called and were told that we would have to wait for them to see what was going on, as they should work. After waiting 45 minutes of waiting in the summer heat, we were given temporary codes to enter the property. We were advised that the reason the door codes initially provided would not work, was that VRBO showed an arrival on the 16th, not the additional date of the 15th.
3) There was a refundable damage deposit that was charged to my credit card when booking. From check out. I have still not received this and have even had to involve VRBO directly. My credit card company has no record of the credit being received. I am still working on this at the time of the review, and if this is settled correctly will amend this review.

Hi Darrel, I apologize for the arrival lockout and the frustrations your group experienced. Thank you for taking the time on the phone to help us refund your damage deposit which you received, albeit delayed. This was my mistake. The lighting and typical summer weather prevented your code from operating the doors, which we remedied by installing a whole home surge protector. Please call my cell if there is anything further we might do to rectify the situation. Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback.
This was a big family trip for us. We got to the house and had a green pool and heater for pool and hot tub did not work at all. We contacted manager and he responded telling us to buy chlorine and shock and pour it in and it should be good in 2 hours. He said he would reimburse us. We have a pool in MN so we know a lot about how they should work. The chlorine didn’t help. The thing is the manager always responded with the “right” answers but didn’t follow thru with anything. He never showed his face. It took us four days to get the pool clear (it needed a new $200 filter) and the gas company did come out to fix the heater after many other attempts by pool companies to figure it out. We spent many hours on our vacation dealing with this. So instead of having the pool and hot tub for a week, we were able to use it Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Yes there are other things to do but that was the reason we rented the house (for the pool and hot tub). The game room was nice so the kids were happy about that. The house was actually nice but not clean. There were dirty crusted underwear left in our closet in the floor. I wish we could post pictures. The manager also said he would pay for a dinner for our family. We have yet to receive any money. I’ll come back and post if he actually does credit money back to us. I mean any good property manager would not allow new customers to show up to a house looking the way it did when we arrived. Truly unacceptable. I don’t usually leave reviews but if you are looking at this place just keep on looking. Thanks for taking time to read this.
