Overall i would stay here again. Its not very suitable currently for little children as all of the kitchen drawers are off tracks and can easy fall out. The 2 bunk rooms twin beds are all in need of some new box springs or mattresses but again wasnt terrible. The positives: very close to downtown and craig park. Sponge docks are close too. The house has plenty of space and bedroom layout is good for 2 families with younger kids.The negatives: very loud all night with traffic since you are directly on main road.

The host did not give us the security code for getting into the property. After two calls, he still have not returned our call. The property was for sale so we ended up calling the realtor and he was able to give us a code to get in the door. We did contact Vrbo and supposedly they are giving us 125 credit for the 40 minute delay in getting into the house. That has not been received yet. The hot water blinked the lights every time we used it. It needs to have its own dedicated circuit. The house was very clean, but because of the check-in process and the hot water issue with the lighting, it was a little frustrating.

The house has a lot of character, easy to find, the host was a fast communicator. House was clean with the exception of a couple spider friends, but it’s Fl so that comes with the territory. It served the purpose of my family meeting for a wedding and it was beautiful!

Liked there was a parking area behind the home for 4 cars. Very clean but know you need to bring all toiletries with you. Some soap dispensers full but others had very little. Would love to see lamps in every bedroom as well as luggage racks. Please bring your clothes hangers with you- very few in closets. The fences in yard is not attached to back door. The fenced in area is nice but the gate to get in has a gap around opening a dog might be able to get out. Loved the old house feel to it. There is traffic noise due to it being on Alt 19- 2 blocks away from downtown Tarpon Springs. We would stay there again.

Great, Affordable & Very Spacious

Had a great stay! Even with 10 people, we still had a lot of room. On kind of a busy corner, but was very quiet inside and so close to downtown. Well stocked and nice place, everyone was happy! Would definitely stay here again.
