Beautiful neighborhood, Welcoming and clean house. Large pool was wonderful for children, backyard was peaceful and relaxing. Host went above and beyond. We felt very safe and had a wonderful stay.
Laurie is a great host! Check in was easy and the house is located for an easy drive to the beaches or to Tampa/St. Pete area. A picture is worth a thousand words. This pool area was amazing with the warm water, the floats, the lights, and the music. You can easily spend your day at the pool, like we did.

Gary and Chris,
I’m so glad our pass crossed and I got to host your family to escape the winter blues! You definitely were not only one of my easiest yes but helpful too (I especially love how much you enjoyed skimming the pool every day for therapy… It’s my therapy too)!
Come back anytime you or your friends and family want some tropical breezes and pool time.
Looking forward to seeing you all again soon! 🌴

Thank you Laurie for everything the house was amazing and checking in was a breeze

The property was beautiful and Laurie was an excellent host. She responded promptly with any questions we had. The house had everything you could possibly want or need
The house was perfect. We loved the Tiki bar area and the pool was awesome. Laurie was the perfect host. She was super attentive and willing to provide recommendations about the surrounding area. We definitely look to stay again in the future.

Christy, it was a pleasure to host you & your cousins for your "reunion" getaway!
It was great to meet you and your family Keri! You were so awesome to work with and have in my home… Can’t wait to see you again when you want to escape your WI weather!! 🌴🐬
Great relaxing stay in a quiet neighborhood, that made my family's stay memorable for both kids and adults. Its central location made for minimal car rides, which was a great for a family that is always on the run for work, school and activities
Our host made sure every single detail met our needs and set reminders for us to make sure we weren't overwhelmed by city utility schedules.
Gughly recommended for families looking to beat beach prices, but maintain the same vacation allure.

We are so glad that you and your family had a great vacation in our home! We definitely take pride in our home and make it a priority that our guest are not only happy but our home can provide a great vacation with beautiful memories to last a lifetime.
You all were so great and easy to work with and it was great meeting you. We Welcome you all to stay with us whenever you visit your local family again! 🌴
Don’t let the pictures fool you. In person this home is beautiful!! My kids enjoyed the pool the most and I enjoyed the tiki bar. If I didn’t want to get in the pool I was able to still keep an eye on the kids. Laurie is amazing. She checked on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. As well as help us find things to do in the area.

Skyla...it was a pleasure having you and your family stay with us. I'm so glad you all had a great time! I hope my suggestions on things to do & brochures about the area helped. Come back any time you need a vacation as we would love to have you!
The house was good, well decorated and comfortable. The backyard and pool were great. For us, we found it too far from everything. If you plan on driving everywhere then the location is okay (about 30 minutes from anywhere you want to go). The only complaint we had was the listing didnt state that you weren't to use the garage. After speaking with the owner we were able to store our bikes and thi gs in there.

Hi Marianne...thank so much for your kind words...we are so happy you and your group had a great time staying during the month of December '24 (plus I hope you felt more at home with the Christmas tree and decorations I decorated for your stay to get into the holiday season)! I see you mentioned 2 items: 1) Location proximity - I know each visitor's interests vary so the 30 minutes you referenced must have been for locations outside of the area (the beaches, local events, restaurants/nightlife and excursions are all well within that time frame). 2) You mentioned a misunderstanding about use of the garage? I do know you were able to keep all of your stored items in there (more than just bikes) & all guests use the washer/dryer in it too. I know the only thing mentioned is that your personal vehicle couldn't be kept in the garage for insurance reasons. But we are so glad you enjoyed the heated pool and the great weather so you all could enjoy riding your e-bikes! Enjoy the rest of your travels & we hope you visit again soon!
The house was clean. No washer/dryer available, which is a first for me for a house with a pool. Beds were very uncomfortable. Not much for beach trips - just a few beach toys available - no umbrella. The pans were decent for cooking and not beat up like other properties I’ve used. Location was alright with a nice little park down the street. Especially having little kids - I didn’t realize how important the washer/dryer were until I didn’t have one available for our week stay. Owner came by to clean the pool while we weren’t there, which was another first for me with a rental and seemed odd even though she assured me she didn’t go into the house.

EDITED: FOR THOSE INTERESTED, THE HOME DOES HAVE A WASHER & DRYER.
Hi Megan....thank you for your 4.8 review! Since it's important to me as a host, I'm happy to address your points made. I reviewed our text exchanges & your 1st one was how "lovely" the home was which means so much to us that you thought so! You did text asking where the washer/dryer was but then I helped you recall that the property description advised prior to your booking that there wasn't one but that there was a very nice laundromat within 3 minutes from the house that we have personally used. Regarding beach items, there were two umbrellas that were available to use for the home or beach with several beach chairs & floats. There were also basic toys like balls, football, frisbee, & a paddle ball game too. I always make it a point to check in with my guests to see how they are doing & if they need anything as you personally experienced...outside of the washer/dryer, you didn't indicate you had any questions or concerns. Regarding the beds, 2 of the 3 beds are less than two years old & the 3rd one is a newer futon mattress all of which are medium to firm. I can say I've actually had compliments on the all the beds but I do understand 'one size doesn't fit all'. And of course, I always check in with my guests to advise if someone will be there to mow the lawn & clean the pool, etc. Since you stayed 1 week, the pool needed to be cleaned during this time (this is par for the course with the Florida heat as I explained) so I reached out to you giving you advanced notice of needing to do a quick cleaning (cleaning time=20 minutes). When I didn't hear back from you almost an hour later, I texted you again when arriving saying I didn't see your car, knocked on the door & guessed you might have been out enjoying the area. I texted you again saying I would only go in the back to clean the pool & not go inside. Also texted you with the before & after pictures as well as when I finished cleaning the pool. Then as luck would have it, I got to meet you & your family as I was leaving! Again, I do appreciate your feedback...thank you again for staying at our lovely home!
Awesome week in beautiful Florida!! Spent a week in a beautiful home in a great area near many main roadways that can get you wherever you need to be in a timely fashion. Airport, downtown St. Pete, and the beach are all very attainable! The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! Don’t pass this place up if the choice is yours to make!

Justin, you were so great to work with and easily one of the happiest guests I've had. Thank you for the great review and come back any time you want to get away from the cold weather!
I booked this house for 3 nights and had an amazing experience. The property owner was very easy to communicate with and was available for any questions. The house was very cozy and spacious. The best part was the private pool that is not enclosed, which is not easy to find in Florida. Would definitely recommend!
Highly recommend this property for anyone. The pool was my favorite part!

About the host
Hosted by Laurie
One of the owners was born & raised in the same beach town as the home (officially born in St. Pete Beach) and is also a realtor & insurance agent. We LOVE to host our home as it is our pride & joy, especially the back yard tropical Oasis! We can also help answer most anything you want to know about the area as we are also very active in it & the community. Should you be interested in possibly investing in your retirement home or investment property, I can help you with that too!
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood as it is a very family oriented community & we raised our children here. There is a great park just a few blocks from the home and it is also very centrally located to everything you would want to be near!
What makes this property unique
We've made our home YOUR "home away from home" so it not only has most everything you need but it provides warmth & coziness that most other short term rental properties don't. But what goes without saying that if you've already seen the photos is the back yard is truly an Oasis! We can't tell you just how much our guests said they prefer to play there than at the beach. We hope you will stay & tell us your experience as well!
