Tampa family vacation

We visited from Tennessee for a week with the kids and this was a good choice to stay at. It made it much more relaxing after being at the beach and other activities to come back and relax.

Great location! Spacious

We had a very relaxing trip in Clearwater. We visited a different beach every day so the location was quite central for us. Walmart was close!bed in master was squeaky and needs a new mattress, other than that it was perfect!

Perfect vacation destination for us!!

Felt just like home, only warmer. My dogs loved the fenced-in back yard, and we also loved sitting out there with them. The house was very comfortable, it had everything we needed and Melissa was a wonderful host....we hated to leave. Hopefully we'll be able to plan a vacation there again in the future.

The best VBRO Experience to date!

From the start of booking this property, the property owner was in contact and kept me informed even of the weather conditions. The house was meticulously clean and all the thoughtful touches were appreciated. We were to have a 15mth old baby with us and the owner included toys and even offered to baby-proof the house. The backyard although no pool was an oasis and I enjoyed every morning coffee there. The location is perfect, near beaches and shops. I recommend this property hands down!

Comfortable and well furnished.

We stayed at this property for the last 3 weeks in March and found it to be very relaxing and pretty much as advertised. It's in a residential neighborhood and close to grocery stores and restaurants. It's not close to beaches but we found some great beaches within a 10 to 15 minute drive at Indian Rock, Sand Key and Dunedin. We were there during spring break and the beaches were busy. For relaxing outdoor, the front porch is OK, but the real gem is the back yard and patio. It's really very nice and private, and shaded by a large live oak. The house is really well stocked with everything you would need, especially the kitchen. We had one minor problem when the microwave stopped working but the property manager Melissa had it replaced with a new one the same day. The only minor annoyance we had was that we had to park our car under a large live oak tree that constantly dropped leaves, seeds, etc. that necessitated us going to a self spray car wash to wash the stuff off every other day. I don't know if this just happens in the spring or all year with live oaks. If we were coming back to the Clearwater-Largo area, we would definitely consider coming back to this property. We had a wonderful time there.

Relaxing

We were actually there for a funeral that consisted of three days of gatherings. It was so nice to come back to a cozy home which is much more preferable than a hotel room. An added plus was it was dog friendly and our fur babies throughly enjoyed the home and backyard!! We even had the opportunity to bring my husband’s father back with us for an evening meal and card game it was such an enjoyable evening for him to break up the stress of adjusting to life after losing his wife.

Wonderful stay away from home

We loved our stay here. So close to the ballpark to see our Phillies Spring Training. We grilled at night and enjoyed the wonderful backyard where we relaxed every night. Melissa was a wonderful host and very communicative. The home was clean and truly felt like our home away from home. We will definitely stay here again next year!

Family Get Together

The property was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room for relaxation and conversation. The outdoor setting was enjoyable except for the fireworks on New Year's Eve. The only drawback was the driveway incline. This made it difficult for seniors to get in and out of their vehicles.

Phillies Spring Training

My dad and I just wanted to get away for a few days and catch some Phillies spring training games. The house was only a 10 minute drive to the park, we were surrounded by plenty of restaurant choices within minutes and only 20 minute ride to Indian Rock where we had an amazing dinner on the water. While the neighborhood is a little older, the house was very clean and extremely roomy. A very family friendly vibe also…Friday night the neighbors were sitting on the porch chatting and Saturday morning a dad and daughter playing catch on the lawn…it was so great to see. Melissa was great with communication and responses. We had a wonderful stay!

Great house in an excellent location

We had a great stay at this house. The property was about 15 minutes from our mother's house in Safety Harbor, and 15 minutes from multiple beaches. The house has everything needed for a stay, and the kitchen is well equipped for a week long stay. We had a question and Michelle responded quickly with great information. Even our pup felt at home in this friendly pet environment.
