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.

Great Stay on the Gulf

Our family (me, my husband, son age 12, daughter age 9, and my mom) spent the first week in June. We had a wonderful time! The house was spotless. Great location with a Publix right near the entrance of the neighborhood. The kids enjoyed the pool and fishing from the dock, and we all enjoyed the boat! We went out on the boat several times during the week - mostly we went to the sandbar a few miles off coast. The sandbar was crowded Sunday afternoon, but was almost like a private beach the rest of the week. We found so many shells, and even some sand dollars. We also did a good bit of fishing from both the boat and the kayaks. And, we saw some sea turtles and a pair of dolphins! On the days we weren’t out on the boat, we took a trip to Weeki Wachee - we got kayaks near Rogers and paddled upstream. It was super cool, but it was very crowded by around 11, so definitely go early. We spent a morning in Tarpon Springs at the shops on the sponge docks, and we watched a Clearwater Threashers game (minor league team for the Phillies). This was our first trip to the gulf coast, but I’m sure it won’t be the last- and, we would 100% stay here again! Henrietta even came to visit!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Other than an odd floor plan (a result of additions to the original house), nothing negative to say. It was bright, plenty of windows, comfortable furniture, a billiard table, good quality linens, comfortable beds, and a nice efficient kitchen, all of which, helped make our stay very pleasant. The heated pool was wonderful as was the ability to jump in the pontoon boat and go fishing whenever we were so moved. Unfortunately, as is my usual, I caught not a single keeper and made my contribution to the fish and game commission. It’s well located for day trips and restaurants.

Truly Home Away From Home!

We enjoyed everything about this home. It was roomy and clean. I like to walk around barefoot in the house (my feet were always clean!) It has a great outdoor seating area (where we spent a lot of time!) by the pool (which was beautiful!). The boat was the icing on the cake! We took it out many days and also went out to the "Sandbar" where we met other people and found fantastic shells! I love to cook and did it frequently for the 4 of us and family close by who live in Tampa. The kitchen is well equipped and close to the eating area outside (where we preferred to hang out). Thank you, Patrick for sharing your home and boat with us. We will return. Karen

Paradise found

This property was even better than the photos. It was very clean and well stocked with everything you could need to feel at home. The bed was super comfortable and we slept so well! The house is tucked into a quiet neighborhood but near all conveniences. The pool and yard were perfect for relaxing. We took the boat out fishing and to the Anclote Key sandbar. What an amazing experience! The sunsets as we came in were unforgettable. We caught and released several super cool fish. We did see some dolphins on our boat rides too. We had some friendly boaters help us pull onto and off the sandbar so we could walk on it and collect some gorgeous shells. It was way better than any busy beach! Patrick and Eric were great with communication and so helpful through our experience. We would highly recommend this rental to friends, family and all. You will not be disappointed. We never wanted to leave.

Nice home! close to everything.

We had a great time at this home. Our 3 boys had so much fun fishing in the cannel, there are lots of catfish. I caught 1 stingray. We love swimming in the pool for hot days. We took the boat out to the gulf and caught lots of sea trouts, grunt, puffer fish and one Sharpnose shark. We saw dolphins in the gulf as well. If you love fishing use live shrimp as a bait you will get lots of fish!! I give 4 stars only because bed sheet in the master was not clean but that was not a big deal we just washed it the next day and let the owner know. Patrick( the owner) very nice answer questions that we have quickly. Mickey(manager) also nice came over to fix the toilet right the way when we had a problem. Overall we like this home. Thank you Patrick.

Disliked: Communication

HORRIBLE !

I would definitely NOT recommend this property!! There are many other homes in this area with a boat that would be a MUCH better choice, my advice is to pass this one up!! Property Manager ENTERS house unannounced and without knocking! Old man next door is taking PICTURES and/or video ! Boat looks like it's retired from a rental fleet, needed repairs before we could use it, still needed repairs even after. Pool was not ready at first, there was no pool maintenance person so the property manager was trying to do the job himself. Very poor communication between the owner and property manager caused most of our problems with this "vacation". We originally booked with 5 people...just myself, wife, and teenage daughters and one of their friends. My oldest daughter and her family were coming into town to spend some time with me for my birthday. I noticed at check-in that there are four beds, so I asked the property manager Mickey while checking in about them staying there and he said "sure, that was fine....Just make sure that when you go out on the boat that there are enough life jackets for each person, that's Florida law". (We were on the boat at the time). He lifted up the seat benches and counted that there were roughly a dozen lifejackets. He said "yes there are plenty here...how old are your grandsons?" I told him they are 3 and 5. He told me that Florida law required anyone 12 and under to wear lifejackets at all times, everyone else didn't have to wear one but just had to have access to one. He continued working on the boat as one of the seats had to have a brace srewed into it, the table was about to fall over... he was trying to get the gas guage to work but noticed the wires were frayed and n
