All pictures are accurate - this place is a backyard oasis! Renting a place with a private pool can be risky, but this property was in great shape with a beautiful pool and screened in porch. The upkeep was great. Clean pool, clean house, and great kitchen. Will stay there again if we go back to the area!

My husband, two dogs, and I loved this home! It was cozy but spacious, with a huge backyard. The pups had a great time exploring the backyard. It was very HOT during our visit, so the pool was perfection. Great location, short drives to anything you need. I'd absolutely stay here again!

Our family of 3 and dog spend 6 days in this property and really enjoyed it, house has everything you need and feels like home. Backyard is beautiful with good size pool and screenporch is very useful if you want to have morning or evening cup of tea without mosquitoes. Chris responded very quickly to our questions.

You can only make a 1st impression once....and wow, this home was truly above and beyond! Chris was an unbelievable host and had the property organized beautifully for guests- the minute you pull into the driveway and then walk in the house everything felt so welcoming! The backyard oasis is a true gem in St. Pete area- we will definitely come back again- and again! Highly recommend this cozy and nicely decorated home away from home for your next extended vacation or just a weekend get away! After loading the car before we checked out - Chris met us and was so kind, super good dude -- professional, nice, good vibes and positive energy--- all around exceptional experience! THANK YOU!

The house is so cute and we had so much fun with the pool and screened back porch. The beds are exceptional, so much so that we ordered the same mattresses for our homes before we left! The host was extremely helpful and responded almost immediately for any issues! Will definitely book again if in the area!
