Thank you Darin for staying at Sunny Retreat on 88th. You are right, this property has everything, a beautiful pool, hot tub, fire pit and even hammocks. The inside has so much space that the whole family has room to spread out. And just imagine the whole family around that dining table! I hope you do come and stay here again...we would love to host you again soon.

Thank you Emy, for staying with us at Sunny Retreat on 88th. This house is great, with room for everyone to stretch out and relax. And that backyard is great, with a firepit, hot tub and hammocks, perfect for those long summer evenings. You are right, the pool is warm and inviting. Please plan on coming back and staying with us again soon.
It was a very good property.The chairs on the dining room were too loose that felt like you would be breaking them just by seating there. Firepit was too old and was going to break /unsafe to use.It would be nice to have a booklet to advice on things that we had wait until the people at the office would be available.Like where to turn the lights of the patio...which were not connected. Or how to turn the pool temperature higher.Overall it was good condition and we had great time.
This rental was beautiful and the perfect location. We were able to get to the beaches and restaurants easily and also enjoy time in the pool. We loved the house and pool so much we stayed in Saturday and opted for the pool instead of a second beach day.

Great house and layout for the whole family. 7 adults and one child and plenty of room for everyone. Close to Clearwater Beach, St Petersburgamd Tampa! Management got back to me right away with any questions or concerns we had. Would stay here again!
Our family really enjoyed the house. The description of the house was spot on. The spacious living/dining/kitchen area was plenty big enough for our family of ten. The pool and hot tub were used each day. And the 3 head shower in the master bedroom was utilized by all, especially the grandkids. It will be very hard to top this house for our next family vacation in this area.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, John! We're very happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again!
a wonderful place to gather as a family for our grandaughter's graduation from nursing school. Plenty of space for out-of-town guests and close to 3 local families. Very clean, well-appointed kitchen. The pool, the patio, the hot tub, the indoor open concept area, and the grill station, loved the various gathering spaces and safe outdoor area for children to play away from the pool area. Would love to book again just to have all the family together. in such an easy place to gather while also having space

We're thrilled that you and your family had such a great stay, Delene! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and we can't wait to host you again!
The house was just as listed with spacious outdoor entertainment areas and updated interior. Very clean and accommodating of large groups. Reached out to host twice during the stay and they never responded. That is reflected in our rating.

Thank you for leaving a review, Michelle! It's certainly not like us to not respond to guests and we're very sorry that happened. We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay though and we hope to host you again!
Sunny Retreat is a clean, spacious, and family-friendly home. Just minutes from beautiful Indian Rock beach, the house is its own little paradise surrounded by paradise. Our family enjoyed hours in the backyard pool and gathering area, meals were easy to assemble in the well-appointed kitchen where the appliances, cookware and tools were a definite cut above most other vacation homes I’ve been in. The bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, and the master shower with three shower heads can (and often did) accommodate three happy kids. Five stars!
