THE HOUSE: Okay, so the house itself is actually a duplex but don't worry...the back yard is privacy fenced to separate the two and the pool is just for you as well. I think I recall reading that the pool isn't heated, but that literally did not matter in Florida in June lol. The water was WARM which our family loved! We saw one cockroach in a windowsill but I'm thinking that must be a Florida thing because we saw them on the pier as well. The house was NOT dirty or gross at all. It's not a luxurious mansion, but it was perfect for our family of 4.
THE HOST: I received plenty of updates leading up to check-in time explaining the process and other FYIs. I even texted Lila at 7:47p the night before we were supposed to check out to see if we could extend our stay an extra day, and within an hour we were set! I didn't have any house issue worth asking about, but I feel confident she would have resolved it if I had.
THE LOCATION: The house is in Largo which I thought was perfect. It's outside of the high-traffic tourist zones, but still has a Walmart, a Publix, and lots of restaurants to choose from. It's about 18 minutes from the airport, and 20-25 minutes to all the beaches/activities around Clearwater.
