From start to finish this was an excellent experience. The host was great and the house was clean and in a greta location. The beach gear that was there made the each trip to the beach so much better. Thank you to the hosts, we would highly recommend this house and would stay there again.

Great layout for a family reunion visiting local relativives post-Christmas in a quiet neighborhood near Tarpon Springs. Kids really enjoyed the heated pool and there was plenty of seating for family to hang out. Also a nice, short run to Sunset Beach.Hosts were generally responsive to small issues around items that were missing or needed some help finding. For those with strong mattress preferences, do note these are all pretty soft

This home was perfect for our annual family girls trip. The host was friendly, very responsive, and informative. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, yet close to the beach and fun, family friendly activities. There was a bit of a bug problem by the pool and we all left looking like we had some sort of pox from all the bites on our legs and arms, but it was nice having a private pool with two teenage girls in the group…so, overall, worth it. We would definitely book this place again for a future vacation.

We had a little trouble with unlocking the door initially but Matthew corrected it right away. The house was very clean and we appreciated the fact that we never saw a bug or cockroach inside! The home was large enough for our family of 7 and the pool house was fine. Kids enjoyed the pool with lots of pool toys and adults enjoyed the outdoor space near the pool. Suggestions to the owner: please supply more than 1 towel per person, even though there’s a washer and dryer. (I’d rather not do laundry on vacation ). Also, an easy fix to secure all of the cable outlets would improve aesthetics. Lastly, attention to the area outside of the pool would probably be an added benefit. Quiet neighborhood, close to Sunset Beach and stores. Would recommend.

Great Experience!

This is a great home - lots of room, very clean, and just perfect for our 10 day stay. The pool was a star attraction for our grand kids - absolutely delightful! The home included all the beach toys we could ever need, with close proximity to several fine beaches The few questions we had were quickly answered by the owner. We would certainly use this facility again!

Great place for family stay

Stayed with 3 generations for Thanksgiving week 2022. Everything was great. House was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. Main House was roomy and extra pool house made spreading out very easy. Heated pool was enjoyable for everyone. Neighborhood is quiet and close to everything we needed.

Wonderful place!

We stayed with our family of six and my dad who is a senior. We loved having the two separate spaces so my dad could sleep in and have a break from the noise of the kids. It was clean, comfortable beds, and the kids loved the pool. The kitchen could use a few more essentials like better pots and pans, but overall we had mostly what we needed. It was a quiet neighborhood and a 10 min walk to sunset beach which was small, but nice. Would stay again!

Perfect vacation home for large groups

We absolutely loved our stay at this home. Having the option of the guest house for larger groups or two families who want to stay separately is perfect! Two friends in our group stayed in the guest house and they said it was very comfortable, AC worked great and they loved having their own space. The entire home was clean and had everything we needed for a short girls weekend. It was very easy to get an Uber when needed. The neighborhood was quiet and close to lots of restaurants (short drive). We hope this next hurricane doesn’t do too much damage. There was no damage from Helene even though surrounding homes were affected.

WOW

Wow! Absolutely amazing. Beautiful house. Pool was amazing. Spent so much time playing in the pool that 3 of us (51 year old me included) got water in our ears. That was the only downside to the time spent at this house. And the view all around on the 4th was great. Fireworks everywhere. Back porch with 2 ceiling fans was a big plus, always in the shade. Pool house was a big plus. We put the kids in it and the adults in the main house. Icing on the cake is the gas station (beer) and Jimmy's Neighborhood Grill (amazing pizza) is 1/2 mile away and next door to each other. Definitely would stay here again
