Casa de Corazon-A comfortable home with pool in a quiet neighborhood near beach.
Casa de Corazon is a family home that is opening a new chapter in its life as a tropical Florida getaway, close to the beach as well as great Florida destinations. At the end of the day, relax in the screened private pool and patio, and retire to the two comfortable bedrooms and two private bathrooms. The quiet neighborhood is perfect for an excellent night's sleep. Living room includes a queen size sofa/sleeper for two additional guests. The fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and Florida sunroom with French doors opening to the pool area are designed for total privacy and relaxation. Smart TV, wifi and washer and dryer included.
Casa de Corazon is ideally located for beach days, shopping and dining. Indian Rocks Beach is 10 minutes away, Clearwater Beach 20 minutes, Treasure Island Beaches 30 minutes, St. Petersburg Beach and Pass-a-Grille 40 to 45 minutes. Excursion boats and charter fishing boats are available at Clearwater Beach and at John's Pass on Madeira Beach. Dolphin watch cruises and sunset cruises are very popular. For more adventure, Tarpon Springs is about one hour north. The old Greek town was home to sponge divers and is an excellent place to see manatees. Shopping is outstanding in St. Petersburg, Clearwater Beach and John's Pass areas.
Seafood restaurants abound in the area. Grouper, Mahi-Mahi, shrimp and scallops, redfish, and even hogfish, are popular choices. Just 10 minutes away in Indian Rocks Beach are P.J.'s, J.D.'s, Jimmy Guana's, and the original Crabby Bill's. In John's Pass/Treasure Island are Bubba Gump, Scuppers, Caddies, the big Crabby's at the Pass, and Middle Ground Grille. Downtown St. Petersburg has a major arts scene, including The Salvador Dali Museum, and a new Doc Ford's Raw Bar and Grill on the water. Doc Ford's is outstanding!
For those wanting a theme park day, Casa de Corazon is located about 30 minutes from Busch Gardens in Tampa, and 90 minutes from Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World. It is actually very realistic to wake up in Largo in the morning, drive the 90 minutes to Disney, spend the day there, and drive back to Casa de Corazon in the evening.
For the veteran who is looking for comradery and inexpensive entertainment, there are two VFW halls, and three American Legion halls within 10-15 minutes drive. Each offers dining, bar service, dancing, and other unique features for the Florida experience.
Casa de Corazon is decorated with art from many nations. The Owner spent a great deal of his career working internationally. Much of the art was obtained in Indonesia, Hong Kong, and the Caribbean Islands. While we hope you enjoy it, while caring for our sentimental, worldly art.

The owner reached out to us prior to us checking in and told us to enjoy ourselves, which we thought was very nice.The house was clean,cozy and the pool was great ! We actually booked it for family who visited because of the pool (which we don't have at our house).We even met the owner's brother in law Paul who maintains the pool and property and he was very friendly. Overall we highly recommend a stay and we will rebook it again whenever our family comes to town.

The house was clean and comfortable. Very cute house. Could use some updates and some TLC. Hot tub didn’t work, pool was ok but turning green by the time we left. Gerry was very quick to respond to questions. Had everything in the kitchen we needed.
My wife and I stayed at the property for 2 months during the winter and found it a nice home away from home. It's in a good location, close to many activities and attractions. Largo has many nice parks for those who enjoy hiking in the woods in the middle of an urban area. And the beach is just a few miles away. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with,,,,he even let me use his bike....the Pinellas Trail is a block away.

Was lied to by the owner about the hot tub. It was not working and the owner said someone tried to fix it before our arrival. Funny thing is the part for the repair was still sitting in an unopened box by the hot tub. I reached out a few weeks prior to our visit and was going to cancel but was reassured that the hot tub would be working. I would have rebooked somewhere else. I don’t appreciate being lied to especially when I spent as much money as I did for the rental. This is not an ocean view house either as listed on Vrbo.

I am very sorry about the hot tub not being repaired. But I question where you thought the house was ocean or beach view. The house is about 2 and 1/2 miles from the beach and my listing certainly said that. I am quite proud of my comfortable home and all that it offers. I installed the hot tub as an additional perk, but certainly not as the primary feature is the house.

We were disappointed on arrival to this home. Although the home was clean, it seriously in need of updating, including worn furniture, pool with green “stains” or scum in the bottom, poorly functioning filter, skimmer net that was unusable, hot tub not working, microwave with piece across top edge missing, non functioning light over stove, multiple light switches that did not do anything, laundry from previous renter still in washer and drier. Otherwise it was only OK at best!

In response to Sheryl, the time of the year has a major impact on the pool. The pollen that is currently floating through the air is not hindered much by the pool screen, and as a result the pool is often impacted by the pollen. My pool is serviced by my brother in law, who works very hard to keep it clean and functioning. He lives only a couple of houses away and responds very quickly to issues. Yes the hot tub was not working but a new filter/heating/control unit had been ordered and has now arrived. In addition, the pool is old and the bottom is stained. This does not affect the cleanliness of the water.
The house and the furnishings are “comfortable”. Yes, they are old and showing some wear but the house is not the Four Seasons. And virtually everything works. The missing piece above the microwave does not impact its operation.
As time (and money) allows I try and upgrade the house to continue to keep it “comfortable”, clean, and operational, while keeping the daily rate reasonable. I live in Texas so visits to the house are rare, but all of the maintenance people are very professional and help me a great deal in meeting my goals.
I am sorry if you did not enjoy your stay, but I am trying very hard to continue to make the Casa de Corazon a comfortable vacation location.
A relaxed stay with an easy-going host. Loved the pool and comfortable house. It was perfect for us! Loved the easy check in and out process! Thank you!!
Good house with all the amenities you need plus a pool! Great location close to beaches and restaurants. Owner was great when we contacted him and solved all the problems we had which were very small.
We felt right at home the whole time, we love the home, thanks Gerry for a wonderful time.

No hot tub. I messaged the host one year before about the temp of the pool and he said "well there's a hot tub" so I assume ok it's going to work. 1 year before and nothing was done. He texts me the instructions for opening the door and also adds he hopes the pool isn't too bad and the hot tub is not working. We find it's because no one has changed out the heater. I have the very same hot tub and you have to drain it. I wasn't doing it, I'm on vacation. It's supposed to be done before I get there The pool area is a disaster. Mowing wasn't done the entire 2 weeks we were there and the weeds are at least a foot long. The pools walking service is dissagrating, It's a nature stone and all the little stones are coming up, You couldn't even sweep it. Stones everywhere, in the pool, in the house. I was very disappointed with this as this is where we spend our vacation. Both hot tubs are broke and the pool filtering system doesn't work even the guy who came and swept lol the pool said the same. I would never recommend this house to anyone. 2500 doesn't buy you anything any more. His excuse was he's old and can't get around anymore. Then sale it. Your cheating people out of a beautiful vacation. You owe me money back. At least 800 dollars I figure. As for the house, it still had food particles in the drawers. The cookware is from the 1970S, and is sorely used. Even put away dirty. I didn't touch it. The garage smells like a chicken coop too and there's missing eves
This place was great. The shower in the master probably needs to be re caulked and the the hot tub did not work but it was a great sleep with a full kitchen ( with utensils and such!). The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and the house inside was very cozy.
Enjoyed our relaxing stay. Impressed on how quiet the neighborhood is. Very comfortable and nicely decorated home with a fully stocked kitchen. A few items could use updating and some TLC, especially the kitchen lighting and the carpeting, but overall was a very enjoyable home.
The place was in good shape and the pool was clean.
Everything I needed was there and even things I didn't know I needed were there.
Place is comfortable and Gerard is very responsive.
Me and my husband and son enjoyed our trip this past week. House was very close to several beaches , witch we tried to explore them all.
House was very clean , owner let us check in early after a 12 hour drive. Pool was great , we spent a lot of time in it.
I would highly recommend staying here. Me and my family look forward to many vacations here.
Property owner responded quickly to the only issue we had during our stay. Place was 10 min from the beach and just a few minutes from some great shopping. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!
We enjoyed our stay in the house. The big pool was fantastic and the spa was also very nice.
The owner was very quickly be answering questions. Thanks for this.
Indian Rocks Beach is just a short drive away.
We felt safe in the house and the neighborhood was nice, too
A very comfortable home that was very well equipped with everything you would need. Towels for the pool, washer and dryer, a tv with many options, 2 bathrooms, outdoor furniture at the pool
Easy to contact tge owner, quick to respond.
Absolutely wonderful and relaxing!
