My family and I had a great time at this property. It was very clean, the kids loved the heated pool and all of the beds were comfortable. The only downside was the water from the fridge and the ice machine did not work, otherwise it was a great stay and I would totally stay there again.
The house was perfect for our family get away. Great location for what we wanted to do. We loved the whole backyard entertainment area including the fire pit. The owners were really great to communicate with. A

We enjoyed our stay, everything was as listed on the site. The location was about 30 min from everywhere we went, I didn't realize how far out of the city it was. We used the pool and pool room, we enjoyed all of the amenities offered.
Very nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was clean, nicely decorated and smelled good. It had all the things we needed for a long weekend. Short drive to restaurants and conveniences. Spent a lot of time in the pool.

We were in town for a family event, and this charming home was the perfect retreat. The interior matched the photos on the site perfectly and we found it difficult to leave the pool and patio.
Absolutely charming and we look forward to coming back when we are in the area again.
Thank you Jesus!

The house came with everything we needed, and was very clean and well put together. The pool was warm and crystal clear. The washrooms and beds were tidy and comfortable to use. Comes with some board games and a pool table to enjoy with family and/or friends. Would stay again.

Hidden gem right here folks! easy access to home, wonderful layout and 'extras' allowing for a great time. We got up and went fishing each day until about 2pm. Came back to the house and relaxed at this paradise suited for all ages. The screened in pool, fire pit and grill area are attributes that set it apart from the rest.

Great stay…saved us from a terrible hotel situation!
After arriving to FL to find my hotel canceled my reservation without notifying me-I went on the hunt for a Vrbo. We found Jesus and his little property was perfect! Three bedrooms and bathrooms with a pool! Kids loved it-we loved it-everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend this adorable little house with a great outside area!

Our family loved our FL vacation home! The pool and pool table were the biggest hits! But everything was wonderful. The house has everything you need. It is clean, nicely decorated and in a safe neighborhood. The owners are very communicative and really care that you enjoy your stay. Would definitely book again!

I and my two adult sons stayed at the property for a few days to see some spring training games.
Nice quiet neighborhood well located to attend baseball games at different stadiums. Restaurants and grocery stores easily accessible.
The owner/manager was very good at communicating with us. Check out was simple, unlike some other VRBO's
There is a very nice fire pit, as well as other in home recreational activities.

We were very pleased with our stay here. The home was set in a great location and came supplied with everything you needed. It was like staying in your own home not a vacation home. The little kids were super excited about the pool and it did not disappoint. The pool table was a great entertainment spot for the teenagers. We cooked all our meals there, whether in the house or in the grill area and even got to enjoy s’mores by the fire pit.
The entire family (7) truly had a great time here!

This is a beautiful house. Owners were up front about some issues they were still dealing with because of hurricane damage. One being the pool heater not working so we weren't able to go swimming. If the cold front didn't come through we would have been able to swim without it. They made up for it by leaving us everything needed to make s'mores in the fire pit. Well worth it. Will stay here again in future when visiting Apollo Beach.

We are so happy you enjoyed the home and the extra items we left you to enjoy gathered around the fire pit in the backyard during this cold front we had. We would love to host you again!
