Apollo Beach Oasis

Just returned from a week in Apollo Beach, FL and couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in! Location was good- short drive to grocery stores and lots of places to eat! The house came equipped with everything our family needed to enjoy our time, including a fully stocked kitchen, beach toys & accessories, great patio & pool with games, kayaks and awesome views off the dock to watch the sunset! Michael provided great service, with quick communication and even let us check out late! The beds were comfortable and the large sofa & dining area was perfect for family game night! There was plenty of towels and bedding, with 2 sets of washer & dryers which made laundry a breeze! Everything was perfect! The only SMALL suggestion I would have would be to add a few extra hooks in the bathroom and around the pool to hang wet suits & towels-- because lets face it, with a pool like that, we were in there every day! :) Thank you for letting us use your home to create beautiful memories!
