The home was great ! The view was absolutely beautiful! The sunsets were amazing. Great restaurants near by and lots of things to do within a short drive. Close to Tampa where you can enjoy the zoo, aquarium and Busch Gardens. Fishing charters were close to the house as well and fishing from the dock was great also. Right from the house you could see sting rays, dolphins and one day a manatee came for a visit. Any house questions or concerns were taken care of quickly but the house manager. We really enjoyed our vacation.

Family downtime

This location was perfect for our family vacation. The house is beautiful and clean. The views from the patio are some of the best we have seen and we travel a bunch. There were dolphins that visited a couple of times a day and we were lucky enough to see the fireworks since we stayed for the Fourth of July. There are several restaurants nearby that we enjoy and the house was stocked very well so we were able to cook as a family. If we are in the area again this is where we will stay. Thanks!

Thank you for the review Butch! Your group is always welcome at our place. Appreciate the feedback. Our place is in a residential subdivision and the neighbors have had some poor experiences with all night partying- hence the rule. Also, the no parking rule on the house side of the street is to make sure that emergency vehicles have easy access to homes in the subdivision( all homes are on the same side). Take care! Dee

Great Visit

The house was terrific. There were nine of us from ages 6-78 and we had a great time. It is off the beaten path in a good way but with easy access to Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater. But you can also avoid the traffic here. The setup is great. We cooked a lot and had everything we needed. Pool and hot tub were great. Lots of seating. Very comfortable.

Everything was good. We had one issue that was addressed. We wish there were notes on how to work the surround sound and lighting the outdoor fire pit. The pool was very clean and the ocean animals were so pleasant to see daily. This home was spacious and comfortable with plenty of supplies. Thank you Dee

Property manager was attentive and very responsive, without being intrusive. Great job.

Loved the location. Watched manatees swimming past (and under!) the dock. Dolphins, pelicans and an osprey made appearances. Patio with pool and hot tub was great place to hang out. The “fire bar” was fun and relaxing in the evenings. The house was very comfortable and nicely furnished.

Beautiful home but had some issues

We were disappointed that the speaker system didn't work. We also wanted to pay to have the pool heated. It finally happened on the last full day we were there. We stayed there a week. That was not great considering the pool temp was around 75 degrees. Too cold!

Unfortunately the pool heater had an issue with the temperature gauge. We were able to get it replaced for the guests to enjoy the heated pool Thursday and Friday. As we don’t offer a heated pool but guests can pay the extra gas usage costs, it was unforeseen. The sonos house music system seemed to be offline and wasn’t able to get corrected in time for guests to use during the stay.

Escaping the MN snow!

Great house. We had 8 people staying here for spring break. Everyone had plenty of room. Kitchen was well appointed. We saw dolphins, manatees and string rays on the pier. The house manager Lori was great! She even let us borrow a huge pot to do a low country boil for my son’s 15th birthday. Circles, Finn’s and the Vineyard Italian restaurant are great and right down the street. Thanks for the great spring break!

Donovan Family

The house was beautiful and the view was outstanding. The one criticism is the TV. We were not able to access much because the cable selection was awful and it was very confusing to use. There were no channels to view sporting events or watch current sitcoms or news shows, so it was limited. The area is not too conducive for shopping and beach getaways.

Marti Thank you for your review and I’m glad everyone enjoyed their stay! I apologize that connecting to the YouTube Tv was difficult. The YouTube Tv subscription offers over 100 channels on all the TVs in the home. TNT is offered. The Samsung TV Plus also offers cable channels and guests can access both navigating on the TVs main home page. Directions to access YouTube Tv is in the welcome book. There is a beach within walking distance to the house. It’s 0.8 miles away. Bahia beach is 15 min away. Apollo Beach sits within 45 minutes of top rated beaches.

Fantastic property

We took a golf trip to Tampa, FL over the Feb 28th weekend and chose to stay in the Apollo Beach area. Property was very clean and the owner was very accommodating. We were granted an early check in as well as a late check with no issues. Check in-check out process was flawless. The property itself was picture perfect. Plenty of space for 8 adults and furnished with everything we can ask for. We ended up using the hot tub, the grill, as well as the pool for a bit as it was bit cool. The Sonos sound system in the house was easy to access and we were able to play and project our music both indoors and outdoors. I would highly recommend this property. We had a blast and if we head back to the Tampa area, we would certainly look to book this location again.

Water life, WOW!!

We had a great time. We take a family vacation every year. Last year in OBX the year before that Myrtle Beach. After last year in OBX we decided to go to Florida to guarantee we have warm ocean water. This house was really nice!! The pool was nice and the hot tub hit the spot to help relax. We did a lot of fishing off the pier. We saw manatees, skates, stingrays, collected sand dollars and believe it or not we saw seahorses. I have done a lot of scuba diving in my past and I never saw a seahorse in the wild. We went to Siesta key, and Anna Maria Island, well worth the drive!! They were two of the best beaches I have ever been to in the United States. My only disappointment with this place, it was a long drive to a beach. Other then that it was great!!! And good place to eat close by.

Gorgeous house, million dollar views, abundant wildlife

We traveled with 9 - my wife, myself, our 2 kids (13 and 12), my sister in law, my parents, and my in laws. This house is gorgeous. Everything is well appointed, clean, and spacious. The infinity pool is just perfect. Amazing view and relaxing. We spent our mornings sipping coffee and fishing, our afternoons fishing, and had a blast. There is a ton of wildlife right on the dock. We saw dolphins, sharks, stingrays, manatees, and caught 5 different species of fish. We were slightly hesitant the upstairs rooms would be hot after reading the reviews. We had no issues. The rooms were super comfortable for sleeping, and we are used to the cold (we live in Michigan). There was a slight issue while we were there, and the hosts were extremely responsive. They tackled the issue quickly and were in regular contact with us, and very apologetic and professional. I highly recommend staying here. Just fantastic - memories made!

Tremendous Pool and Views!

Pros:Pool and Views of Tampa Bay. Incredible. From watching storms light up the bay, to seeing dolphins, pelicans, and sunsets. Absolutely fantastic. So comfortable to watch from the pool.Property manager very communicative. We had issues with the fireplace (which got fixed promptly), the internet went down in a storm (she directed me eventually to the outlet that got tripped). Was very helpful while respecting our privacy.Plenty of items in the house. From towels (including for the pool), to basic food items, serving items, etc. Very nice to have a gated community. Was very quiet. We played a radio during the day (not too loud) and it didn't bother anyone. A couple from England was on holiday at the house next door and they were friendly and we talked together.ConsThere was construction that had to be done in neighboring houses. A fence was put up right next door when we were there and some roofing was going on. But it never was too bothersome. We actually talked with some of the contractors. Overall fantastic house with the major selling point being the pool and the views over Tampa Bay.

Everything we hoped for and more!

The title says it all. This property was everything we hoped for and more. There were eight of us total; my husband (big fisherman), myself, our three adult sons and their significant others. The house gave us the separation we needed and the family togetherness we wanted. We never wanted to leave! We all slept better than we do at home and lived in that pool. My husband caught some fish and some rays off the dock and even had a couple sharks on the line! The sunsets were amazing and we live on Cape Cod so we see a lot of sunsets. All the little details in the house were what made this vacation so perfect, from the labeled switches and softest pillows ever to the fully stocked kitchen. We never wanted for a thing and when we had a question/request upon arrival, Lori was SO responsive. We made family memories to last a lifetime and got the relaxation we all needed and more. I would recommend this property to anyone and would be happy to answer any questions any potential renters have. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing property with us!!!!

Unfortunate that the pool is not heated

This home is standard track housing with nice finishes so I would typically rate it as 4 stars. However, I deducted a full star as the pool (let’s face it, the main reason anyone would rent the house) is NOT heated. I would not recommend renting the house November through April as Florida pools need to be heated in the winter months. I even offered to pay for the heat and the owner wanted $300 per day ($5,000 for my 16 night stay) stating that propane heat is very expensive. The home directly next door rents for less and is heated as that owner invested in an alternative heating source which is much cheaper. The listing was very misleading as the “no heat” disclosure is not listed at all on the VRBO app which is what I use. It is listed in a small disclosure under the amenities section on the regular VRBO website (non-app) which is easy for most to miss and based on other recent reviews from November, was missed by other renters. Other than the completely unusable pool, the home is very well maintained. The views are beautiful and the wildlife (manatees, string-rays, sharks) that can be seen from the pier are amazing. This is a quiet, residential neighborhood so it’s great for relaxing.

Our home is anything but tract housing! It is a custom-built home in a gated, quiet, close knit neighborhood of elegant million dollar plus homes. Our furniture, decor and accessories have been painstakingly chosen and designer curated by a Tampa based company that has won 17 national awards! We were deeply involved in the process ourselves. Our home description requests prospective guests to read all our house rules and states that the pool is NOT heated while directing them to the NOTES section that repeats that the pool is NOT heated. Anyone who has used propane knows the cost (we pay $10 per unit). Due to the volume of water in the pool exposed to the elements it isnt possible to heat the pool without incurring a cost of an average of $300 (at least 30 units daily in cooler weather) to heat the pool to 80 plus degrees. That is what we offered Carolyn (at cost) when she inquired about pool heat. Our spa is heated and most of our guests thoroughly enjoy it. Dee
