Perfect Home

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. The decor was awesome, the home furniture was very comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked with good storage, beds slept great, lots of linen, home was very easy to maintain. This was almost a two month stay while relocating to FL. The neighbors were great, we feel very comfortable. Would definitely stay again! Highly recommend this vacation home!

Just perfect

This stay was due to the displacement from hurricane. But it was perfect and had everything it described. Plenty of room and nicely laid out. The back porch and large fenced in yard was perfect. Excellent communication and was easy to reach

Fun in Holiday

We have stayed in several VRBO homes and this stay would be in our top 5! The house is clean, stocked with everything you need and your hosts are outstanding. They are really concerned with how your stay is going. I would absolutely stay with them again. We had our dog and she loved the fenced back yard. Key Vista, Anderson and Howard Parks are nearby and are super places to give your dog a walk. Also, give Neptune Cycle a try. Rent an e-bike and spend a day on the Pinellas Trail!

Spring Training trip

We stayed at this property for three days in March 2025 during our trip for Phillies Spring Training. The home and its location close to Tarpon Springs were just what we needed. And the fenced yard was great for our dog.

Just what we needed

We are a retired couple with our 30-something daughter and her husband, in town for a wedding. The house was just what we needed. It’s not much to look at on the outside but the inside was very nicely decorated. The listing was very accurate and we had everything we needed for our stay. It was perfectly clean and comfortable.

Cozy, clean and very responsive owners. Well worth taking a look.

First, I want to thank Fran and Curry. They made our stay very wonderful. Any need we had or question was quickly, respectfully, and pleasantly answered. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was prefect. The home was so well maintained and stocked for most any need which could arise. There were amenities which were not even listed which were provided. I believe any who stay will be surprised at the level of care and thoughtfulness which has gone into making the home a place which you will enjoy spending time. Again, thank you so much!

Tarpon Treasure

Perfect location for our needs to complete family matters. Although we didn’t visit the sponge docks or downtown Tarpon Springs this trip, it is conveniently close. The house was very clean, well stocked, comfortable and had a great backyard for our dog. Would recommend this place for a stay near Tarpon Springs.

A wonderful, comfortable, new home

This was the best rental we have had. It was very comfortable, clean, stocked with absolutely everything you could want, upscale furnishings in a very quiet and convenient neighborhood. The house looked like it was just redone, everything new. Appliances worked well. The owner was very nice and even had a pie for us! Our only complaint was the internet was slow and we were looking for a house to buy so needed it much faster. We would rent there again.

Great Stay - Wonderful Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our spring break trip to your lovely home. The fenced in back yard was great for our two fur babies. They loved the freedom of being off leash. The house was great. It was the perfect size for our small family. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils and dishes we needed. We were very pleased with the gas grill. It was a great way to prepare the fish we caught while deep sea fishing. We have been to the Tampa area several times for spring break. This was the best place to stay. We were close to beaches and other activities while being away from the chaos that can be spring break in Florida. We had a great time exploring the area; especially Historic Sponge Docks. Our trip was complete with a deep sea fishing excursion and a trip to Clearwater Marine Aquarium. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home. It was quaint and perfect. Thanks Fran and Curry for opening your home to us.

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 homes in the same area, listing # 1122450 and 959787!

Why they chose this property

Just remodeled, new furnishings, appliances, ranch style with no steps or stairs anwhere on the property, 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.
