My family has been staying in and around Clearwater for 10 years on our family vacations and this is the first review I have felt compelled to write. Usually, the vacation rentals are just okay but this was something really special.
I'm a self-proclaimed germ-a-phobe and am always spending countless hours perusing pictures of rentals and reading reviews to ensure my family ends up somewhere CLEAN, well-maintained and in a great vacation location close to everything. I hit the vacation jackpot with Splash Harbor #417 staying with David and Veronica.
This condo is immaculate. The beds are so comfortable and the linens and decor is beautiful and so well-kept. I can't say enough about the cleanliness of this condo. I usually have to bring my own sheets and blankets and spend a lot of time making our vacation rental just like home. This is the first time I did not have to do that, we jumped right into our vacation time! There is a pizza shop, water park, ice cream kitchen, pub and seafood restaurant with live music all within walking distance. Literally convenient to EVERYTHING even a CVS for the little last minute things.
Aside from the fact that the condo is fabulous, the owners are so thoughtful. They have children of their own and KNOW kids. They have literally everything that we forgot from strollers to baby wipes! There is a washer and dryer on site and we received 4 FREE Splash Park passes that we used every day to entertain the kids.
I don't want to make this too long but I can't believe I left this vacation with literally zero complaints. We slept great, used the kitchen that was already stocked with drinking water, coffee and paper plates....everything we could ever need was already there for us.
David and Veronica checked in with us upon arrival and made themselves available if we needed anything at all. We didn't need anything until we were on our trip home and realized we had forgotten "Chris", our 4-year old's beloved Elf on the Shelf. He was on the chandelier and my husband and I forgot him. It was Christmas Eve's Eve and we were panic stricken. I called Dave and Veronica and they (without me even asking) offered to over night Chris to our house for arrival on Christmas Eve.
I can't even think about ever staying anywhere else again. These owners will literally be friends of ours for life.
Thank you so much for making our winter vacation amazing-
