Great and Relaxing Place

We recently enjoyed a short stay at the snowbirds’ dream in Holiday. The house was exceptionally clean and exactly as described with plenty of cookware, comfortable furnishings and a nice fenced back yard for our pup. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer and responded right away to our queries. We look forward to our next trip!

Great property. Great owners. Great location.

We were so pleased to discover the rental property was close to all the locations we wanted to visit while in Florida. Our rental was clean, nicely decorated, well stocked and felt like home. Fran and Curry, the owners of the property, were very helpful, professional and accommodating for all our questions. It was a great vacation and a special thank you to them for making our stay a wonderful experience.

National Championship rental

Our family of 4 was looking for a place to stay for the ballgame weekend to provide us a little more space and a working kitchen. This is a great house, with everything you need supplied. The owners are very responsive and helpful. There is an enclosed back porch (sunroom) for drinking coffee in the morning while you catch the morning show on the TV. Towels were nice and soft. All kitchen necessities were there, and there was a grill, also. The house was very clean. We didn't bring our puppy, but it has a great fenced in backyard, too. I would highly recommend!

Home away from home

Our family was displaced because of Hurricane Irma and needed to find somewhere to temporarily live while our house was being rebuilt. The owners met us at the house the next day. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We were contacted several times during our stay to make sure we didn't need anything. When the front porch light went out and grill ran out of gas they were there the next day. If we hadn't been able to go home by Christmas Eve, Curry and Fran were going to move us into another one of their properties. It was heart warming to know that there are still good people willing to help others in their time of need.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar, 2020
Dear Guests, we were more than happy to help provide temporary housing close to your neighborhood for your family when Irma made her unfortunate visit to your home. It was really great to meet your family and know that we could make this horrible time a little easier for you. We are so glad this house worked out for you guys, and look forward to seeing you again soon! All the best, Curry & Fran

Weekend Getaway

We had a great time staying here. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We especially liked the sunroom and the backyard! The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. A couple of the beaches were only 15 minutes away and Clearwater Beach was about 40 minutes away. There were restaurants and shopping very close by. The host was very attentive and quick to respond via email and even allowed us to check in a tad bit early. Would love to stay here again. Thank you!!

Wonderful rental in Florida.

The rental property was perfect. It was clean and cozy with everything you needed. The owners were exceptional and more then willing to help. They were very gracious and helped us out several times in a pinch with the camper! The neighbors we meant were also extremely helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Our stay at the Atlantis house was wonderful. It was a perfect size home and a nice yard.

We were extremely pleased to have stayed at the Atlantis home while our permanent residence was being built. It is a cute home that was more than enough room for my wife and I, along with our two dogs. The owners had a cleaning lady stop by and did a great job stopping by every other week. The sun room turned out to be my wife’s favorite room to read or watch tv. There are two bathrooms and a cute kitchen for cooking. Overall, I would recommend this place for short or even longer stays like ours (5 months). It is a great value and functional for a holiday stay too. I work from home and the internet supplied was more than adequate for me to conduct my business.

About the host

Hosted by Curry Hayes

Host profile image
Curry and Fran Hayes have been VRBO hosts since 2014, with their first listing a four bedroom home in Tarpon Springs, listing # 685148. That home was such a success and they received many requests from couples and smaller groups who didn't need that much house! So they decided to repeat everything they had done at the larger house to give couples and small families a more economical option while still providing a charming and tastefully decorated newly renovated home within 5 minutes of their larger rental house. Fran loves personally managing these homes and makes it a point to meet and greet guests personally and is always quickly responsive to inquiries and questions. As of July 2017 they have just opened their third and fourth homse in the same area, listings # 1122450 and 1152799!

Why they chose this property

Just remodeled, new furnishings, appliances, ranch style with no steps, minutes from the beach, nature trails, bike trails, and less than an hour from Tampa and all its attractions.

What makes this property unique

This house is great for snowbirds, as it is entirely one level with no steps or stairs at all on the property. It is very close to downtown Tarpon with all it has to offer, plus three beautiful beaches, but is much more economical because it's just above the county line in Holiday FL.
