Thank you so much for the kind words and I apologize for the AC glitch. Thanks for understanding! We are so happy you loved your stay!
Incredible property with even better views! The property was super clean, and spacious with plenty of things for our children to do. The pool was amazing and we will certainly be returning. The owner was very fast with responding and was gracious for hosting us. Very happy with the Pirate House!

Neighbors were a pain. Caught them watching us through windows with binoculars. They complained about anything and everything. Boat dock is 100yds across the street and not the dock in the picture. Owners were nice and kind.

Thank you for your stay with us and I appreciate the kind words.
In regards to the dock location, all satellite images of the floating dock and house location were sent to you and discussed prior to your reservation booking. Upon receiving the images, you proceeded with your booking. We also approved one boat at this location prior to your stay and found 3 boats tied off. You kindly remove the one boat like we asked and we still allowed a second boat to docked as well despite putting the dock attachments at risk.
As for any neighbors using binoculars into our yard for your stay, I am curious as well about the situation and wish you would have brought it to my attention. The house on the lot to our South burnt down so it’s a vacant lot, the house South of the vacant lot has no North facing windows or decking towards our home and is vacant mostly year around. The neighbor to the North right beside our house reside at their primary residence all Summer and they were not present. The house 2 doors North is also a VRBO/Airbnb so if there would have been issues, I could have quickly called the home owner to have the situation resolved. Those 4 houses are the only houses with any views onto our property and 3 of 4 homes/lots were vacant during your stay.
We appreciate your feedback.
This house was perfect for a vacation. It sat right on the Gulf and had wonderful sunset views. The house was extremely clean and well equipped. We had plenty of supplies like towels, cups, glasses and utensils. The pool was great and fishing off the dock was fun. I recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in New Port Richey. We would stay her again next time we plan a trip here.

Thank you so much and we would love to have you back!!!
The host was very welcoming and communicative. There were a few housekeeping and maintenance issues but they responded very quickly. The outside area was fantastic, the sunsets amazing and a dining room table big enough to hold 2 card games at once. There were times when all 6 kayaks were out at the sand bar.
We rent a lot of VRBO in this area and this is by far our favorite place! The house is great. Neighborhood is top notch. Location is perfect. Easy to get to all the nearby neighborhoods. We enjoyed the pool everyday and the wildlife spotted off the dock. Shelley and Dalton are great with communication and quick responses.

Thank you so much and we are so happy you had an amazing time with us !
Enjoyed the Pirate Paradise house again. Great location, very nice neighbors. Working with Shelley was easy; quick response. Dalton was available for anything onsite that required assistance; thank you for getting a new grill for us!! The weather cooperated this year which is the cherry on top.

Thank you so much as always!!! You all are always great to work with as well!! We can’t wait to see you next trip!!!
The property was attractive and well-equipped. We kayaked in the gulf, swam in our own private pool and biked around the neighborhood. My wife and I (70), Friends (60’s), our daughter and her husband (40’s) and my granddaughter (9) all found something to our liking an enjoyed our stay. The rooms were spacious and more than sufficient for our party of 7. Thank you very much for a memorable week in Florida.

Thank you for trusting us and staying with us! I love that you got to experience everything that we love about that house!!!
Bright, roomy and comfortable home in a beautiful neighborhood! Kitchen had everything we needed. Enclosed patio/yard was perfect for our dog and even though there are close neighbors on either side, it still felt quite private which is very important to us. The sunsets were beautiful, both sitting on the end of the dock or sitting indoors at the dining table. Nearby favorite places for a beverage were Miss Vicki's on the River and Widow Fletcher's. We thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay in Dec/Jan 2023! A couple of suggestion for owners would be to install some sort of sound barriers in front of the pool pump and the air conditioning unit in order to reduce noise near the pool, maybe throw out some older pots & pans to reduce cabinet clutter, and expand on the home guide into to include things like how to operate the programmable thermostats since they are a bit quirky.

Thanks so much for your stay with us. We appreciate your feedback and would love to have you back for another stay with us in the future.
We were delighted with our new found "vacation home". Although the home is located in an upscale neighborhood, we felt quite secluded during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, feeding the turtles and fish in the fish pond, fishing off the dock, kayaking and enjoying amazing sunsets. The house was fully stocked with cooking and dinnerware, linens and bedding. Our daughter and her husband visited one weekend and were delighted with the "grandmother's living area" and chose to stay there rather than stay in any one of the available four bedrooms! Our hostess was delightful and so accommodating! She recommended amazing and diversified restaurants in the surrounding area. Her business partner welcomed us upon our arrival, answered any questions we had and was always available if needed. We felt very well cared for! We enjoyed our stay so much we are returning next year! We found a gem.
This place was just perfect for our family vaca that included an age range of 15 to 82!There was plenty of space for the 7 of us, the kitchen was very well equipped, check in and out seamless, the washer dryer was new, the heated pool was appreciated and we had some of the nicest sunsets you will ever see (and we are a well travelled bunch). The beds were comfortable and well spread out for privacy and our 20 year old really enjoyed the in-law suite. There were plenty of beach towels, suggestions for activities and restaurants. We had coffee on the front porch in the morning and waved to all the morning walkers. We had sunset drinks on the dock over looking the Gulf of Mexico. Heaven. The pool area was extremely well maintained and the kayaks an extra bonus. Dalton and Shelley were extremely responsive and I felt like we were in very good hands. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing vacation spot with a large group or small, with family or friends. Thanks Shelly and Dalton. My family had a wonderful holiday.

That’s so kind and sweet! I’m so happy your stay was great! Please come back and visit us again!
This is a wonderful property in a quiet, residential area. Very nice, safe neighborhood. Wonderful views of the gulf; quiet and relaxing by the pool. Nice golf course nearby. Short drive to everything. House is big with a beautiful, well-stocked kitchen with lots of furniture to relax and enjoy. Property manager Shelley very nice to work with and responded quickly. Dalton was on call if needed and responded quickly to questions and 1 issue we had. Check-in process was quick and easy. Just a great getaway from winter!
The house was absolutely beautiful. Perfect for our family of 10. The property manager was very nice and attentive. We all enjoyed seeing the turtles each day in the turtle sanctuary. We will definitely be back!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Love that you made great family memories! We d love to have you come back for a visit anytime!
The photos accurately capture the house and property. We spent every day in the pool and spa, and almost every sunset on the private dock. The Tiki bar was a nice added touch and many a cocktail, champagne flute, and beers were enjoyed in the evening. A supermarket is located within 10 minutes-perfect for stocking the bar and grill. We had all we needed to enjoy a fun, healthy visit during COVID times. This is a newish property and a couple of very minor issues were quickly and happily addressed. Property manager, Dalton, was wonderful: easily reachable, and helpful with local recommendations. His personality added to the overall warmth and charm of the house-which I’m more than happy to re-rent for future gatherings.

Why they chose this property
This property has so much to offer with the multiple bedrooms, ocean views,large pool, tiki hut, koi pond for the little ones and we are directly inland from the sand bar islands that are the feature of the area.
