The property was fantastic. Very close to all the sites to do and see. The owner was more than helpful with any of our needs Would recommend this place
Comfortable, clean, well-appointed home with heated pool and all the necessary supplies to enjoy a care-free stay. Short drive to the heart of Tarpon Springs for dining, shopping, dolphin/sunset cruise. Host was very responsive to all our questions prior to our stay and we had no issues to worry about during our stay.
The house was great! Much bigger in person than we thought based on the pictures. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids. The basketball hoop and the pool was a hit with the kids!
Comfortable large house. Host was great to work with.
Plenty of room and everything you need for a great stay. The host is very accommodating. Close to all the Tarpon Springs attractions and great Greek restaurants. The county parks are great especially John Chestnut Park
Beautiful spacious house with a pool. Less than 2 miles away from the Sponge Docks where we enjoyed fabulous Greek food and shopping. After a hot day shopping, into the pool we went to cool off and relax with a cocktail. Not far from beaches where we enjoyed having our toes in the sand and the sunset.
We had a great time staying here. The house had plenty of room for my family. Located close to everything. We enjoyed walking by the sponge docks, and going through all the shops.
Large and comfortable space, big enough for 8 family members. Everything was satisfactory and Neal was very attentive and welcoming.
It was a good choice for us. A nice view on the water, as well.
There was more than enough room for our group, and it was a quick drive to the Tarpon Springs community center for the event. There were several nice touches to greet us (like the basket of mixed fruit) and The owner was very attentive to our needs.
A couple of friends and I decided to take a last-minute weekend trip to Florida. After reviewing a few different homes in the Holiday area, we decided on this one. It was a very easy process all the way around. The host (owner) met us at the property and showed us around a bit, showing us how to use the TVs, pool, etc. Would definitely stay here again.
The house was perfect for a family vacation. The layout is great and the pool was a lot of fun. The location was great as it was close to Tarpon Springs. Neal was very accomodating and a pleasure to work with. My only recommendations would be to replace the bed in the primary - it's very uncomfortable and noisy, and invest in lounge chairs for the pool. The chairs were OK, but most people like to lie in the sun and relax. Overall it was a great experience.
There were some issue upon check in that the property owner quickly responded to. Personally showed us the house and then helped with some maintenance issues immediately. The pool was nice and big and the house itself is in good shape. I am sensative to road sounds and it is near a busy corner but other than this the house is a gem! The house is very close to the sponge docks and tarpon springs. Not far from Fred Howard park and close to 19.

Just what we needed
Overall , excellent for our needs. There are a few small things that could use updating or cleaning. The washing machine and dishwasher could use a more through cleaning .The fridge specifically needs to be repaired. It leaked a few times but was still functional . The owner was very responsive to our questions and requests. For example the old coffeemaker was terribly stained and he brought over a new keruig kpod coffeemaker. We needed to use the garage to store our bikes and golf clubs, and although it isn’t mentioned in the listing. Neal allowed us to use half of the garage for that purpose. The pool was wonderful and used every day! If the mattresses were updated and perhaps switch to a king size bed in master bedroom , I would have given it a five star rating. A four BR /3 bath with pool is hard to beat though for a family of 6. Thanks Neal for a wonderful place in the Tarpon Springs area!

Thank you for your review and helpful comments. We have immediately addressed the repair to the fridge, and the cleanings of the dishwasher and soap dispenser on the washing machine have been done. We will always do what we can as soon as possible to respond to our visitors' needs or special requests. Happy to help with the coffee maker and garage access...Very pleased you all enjoyed the heated pool and your stay with us....please come back anytime!
Neal was a very gracious host. The home is more spacious than the pictures reveal. Very nice pool. We had troubles with the pool temp but were able to enjoy it when itwarmed up. Neal helped us troubleshoot it over the phone.A nice place to appease the inner mermaid. Everything you need is there plus a lot of personal touches. We really enjoyed our stay.
