Thank you, Isabelle, for your five-star review and kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again in any of our 8 properties in Apollo Beach.
Siblings and Family Reunion 2026–Our stay at this beautiful waterfront property in Apollo Beach Florida was just plain awesome. Our host Einav and owner Ron made our stay everything we had hoped for. My family ages 68 -1 year old thoroughly enjoyed the properties amenities; tvs, WiFi, pool, hot tub, kayaks, dock, pop up beach tent, beach chairs (could use more), patio area, which is separate and secured from pool area, shaded reef area in pool for the little non swimming grandchildren, old peeps to stay cool and also swim up barstools etc. My grandchildren loved the added extra touch of stuffed animals on the bunkbeds and it just started off the visit on the right foot. Ron and Einav were so helpful answering all our questions and also advice on local restaurants, beaches with details we all often forget about when choosing a VRBO. I would highly recommend this property and all other properties offered by this host Einav and owner Ron anytime. The only thing I would have changed about this trip, would be to stay longer.

Thank you so much for this incredible review—it truly means a lot to us!
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your family reunion was such a special and memorable experience. Hosting guests across such a wide range of ages—from 1 to 68—is exactly what these homes are designed for, and it’s wonderful to know everyone found something to enjoy. It made us especially happy to hear that the little touches, like the stuffed animals on the bunk beds, helped start your stay on the right foot.
We’re so glad you were able to take full advantage of the amenities—the pool, hot tub, dock, kayaks, and outdoor spaces—and that the setup worked well for both the kids and adults alike. Thank you as well for the note about the beach chairs—we truly appreciate feedback like this and will make sure to add more.
It was a pleasure assisting you with recommendations and being part of your trip in any way we could. Guests like you make what we do so rewarding.
We would absolutely love to host you and your family again—hopefully next time for an even longer stay!
Warm regards,
Einav
We loved staying at this property. The pool was so nice and we had a great time swimming almost every day. The property was in a great location! We would stay here again.
Fantastic week in a little paradise, fabulous outdoor area to relax, swim and enjoy the sun. Communication with owners was absolutely the best... looking forward to coming back
Traveled with grandkids aged 4-10 and they spent every possible minute in the pool. Booked this property based 100% on the pool and it did not disappoint.
We really enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the pool was exactly what we were looking for! We even saw a couple of dolphins!
Both Circles and Finn's restaurants were close and provide a good atmosphere for dinner.
If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again.
The pool was excellent! The pool deck was large for all to enjoy. The only downside of our stay was the neighbor across the canal that clearly did not want anyone enjoying the outdoors.
The home was very nice. The outdoor area is wonderful! We encountered a small issue with the hot tub, and the host had someone out to check and fix it right away!
Overall the house was spectacular, wonderful pool layout. Very clean and organized. Internet would not commect, reached out to Ron who helped us to the fullest. He was very professional and got the job done the same day. Have they recommend this location!

Thank you, Nicole for your kind words, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and can’t wait to host you again at any time!
My family really enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. It was our first experience using a VRBO and it was wonderful. The property manager was very helpful and accommodating. Everything was clean and nice. The pool area was a dream!
This was a great place to stay in a great neighborhood! We parked our boat at the property’s private dock just feet from the Backdoor and on the fish within 100 yards from the house! The house was very clean and comfortable and the check in Process was probably the easiest I’ve encountered. We will definitely be back next year to stay another week! I absolutely recommend this property for a small or large family plenty of room and beds.
Thanks for a great vacation!
The area and the house are nice. Not a ton around to do, but some cool local bars close by and not far from tampa. only downside is that the neighborhood has quiet hours at 10 pm and neighbors are quite sensitive to this
First off the owners of the property were super accommodating. They even brought us a delicious fresh avocado from their tree.
The home was beautiful. The pool and outdoor space was incredible! We spent most of our week in the pool. Sadly we did not see any dolphins 😞
The available kayaks were a nice touch! You don’t get that little extra at most places.
This was seriously one of the best Thanksgivings we have had as a family and this home was the perfect place to house us all! From the pool (pay to heat it! Its worth it!), to the beautiful canal with dolphins and sealife almost everytime we sat out there, it was incredible. 5 stars!
We have stayed at many VRBO rental houses but this owner went above and beyond to make us happy. We had the privilege of staying at three of this owners rental homes during our stay at Apollo Beach. Each home was a beautiful propery, in a great location, and included a fantastic owner experience. The owner never stopped doing what they could to help us make the best of our time in Apollo Beach. When we come back to this area, we will stay in this owners properties. Thanks for all you did for us.
