The perfect place for our family gatherings & sisters’ getaway

This property is just incredible!! So much room, many gathering spaces, great views of the canal and pool area, comfortable beds, and everything we needed!! Andy repeatedly went out of his way to make our stay extra special and so easy! He also referred us to a great guy, Captain Phil, for a fishing tour. I highly recommend this property for a fun and relaxing getaway. We loved our sisters’ getaway and enjoyed the opportunity to share this beautiful home with many family members who came to visit us during our stay. (And the gates at the stairs made it perfectly safe when my grand babies came to visit.). I highly recommend this beautiful home!!

Tampa getaway

We had 6 people (3 couples) that have vacationed together for a few years. Mostly just hung out at the house, used the pool, did dinners in and at a few area restaurants, etc. pretty low key but the house was perfect for us. Very well played out and organized. Communication was incredible and we appreciated everything. Gorgeous home that had everything we needed, totally turnkey.

Bimini Oasis delivers the expectations of an exceptional vacation home

Bimini Oasis is a beautiful vacation home. I emphasize on home, because it felt like the host took great care in making Bimini Oasis a true home away from home. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating, everything and more that you would expect from a host. The atmosphere was fantastic and the sunsets were remarkable and unforgettable. The thoughtful amenities kept our family entertained the entire stay and the host truly captured the vibe of Apollo Beach with Bimini Oasis. We will definitely rebook Bimini Oasis the next time we are in Apollo Beach or the Tampa area.

Best VRBO Ever!

This VRBO is a gorgeous, well-maintained mini-mansion!! The home is beautifully decorated, with attention to every detail. The game room downstairs will keep your family entertained for hours and the pool area and outdoor bar are amazing beyond words. I promise you the photos do not do this home justice! It truly is a tropical oasis. We loved the quiet location and the neighbors we met were very friendly. Fantastic restaurants are just down the road. Andy is an amazing host and truly provides an over-the-top, memorable, vacation experience.

Simply put...Incredible!

Pictures don't do this waterfront home justice. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated and well stocked. They thought of everything you would need and then some! We spent the majority of our week at Bimini Oasis. The backyard paradise offered us everything we wanted, including the awesome tiki bar. Was able to fully relax and enjoy a stress free week. Andy is a gracious host, calling the first day to let us know we could check in early and letting us know he was a call away if we needed anything. Thank you again for everything Andy. We look forward to returning to Bimini Oasis.

Fabulous property

We rented this amazing home to have a mini 30 year high school reunion. It was perfect. The bedrooms were comfortable, nice kitchen, and a large dining room table. We used the grill almost every night while we watched the sunset. The landscaping is gorgeous. The pool temperature was perfect and we enjoyed the small hot tub as well. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks to our gracious host who checked in on us to make sure we had everything. 5 star experience!

Beautiful home!

Andy was great from start to finish! He accommodated our family and although the waterfall in the pool wasn't working..Andy stayed in touch and was very apologetic to the situation. He made sure we were taken care of and had his property management team there to make sure the pool was working for our family and friends to enjoy. This is a beautiful home. Very nice location. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home Andy!

Wonderful family get away

Andy’s house is beautiful and in a great location. We loved the pool and spa and had plenty of space for our family to spread out! There are lots of stairs in this home and the elevator was out of service so I wouldn’t recommend this home for older people (we had our 85 year old parents with us). When we had any questions Andy was easy to contact. Oh and there were several coolers, lots of nice beach chairs, and 2 really nice beach umbrellas. Also lots of stuff for younger families with kids… wagon, stroller, etc. The basement and pool area definitely have a fun, party vibe!!

July 2023

Bimini Oasis is exactly like the VRBO description. The game room, pool and spa were a hit for our family regardless of age (4-66 yrs.old). It is located in a residential neighborhood and close to Publix, CVS, and several restaurants as well as a marina. The house comfortably accommodated our group of 14 without feeling crowded. There are several dining tables and even two small (dressing) rooms that are large enough for a blowup mattress or portable toddler bed. Our grandchildren loved fishing off the dock and caught many catfish. We had a wonderful week there and recommend it to anyone wanting a nice place with beautiful sunset views.

Wonderful family vacation

This property truly exceeded our expectations as we enjoyed a family vacation after Christmas. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood. Every room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. It's very obvious that a great amount of detail went into making sure guests have a memorable experience. We enjoyed spending our day around the pool and hot tub watching college football at the tiki bar. My wife and daughter would enjoy a glass of wine on the dock as they were greeted by manatee and dolphin. Many thanks to Andy for the great communication before and during our stay. Also, the fishing captain recommendation was spot on as we enjoyed a successful morning of inshore fishing. We hope to get an opportunity to return very soon.

Vacation Perfection

If we could give this property more than 5 stars, we would! The house exceeded our expectations. We had everything we needed and then some. The location is wonderful—not a lot of traffic and close to shopping and several great restaurants. It’s just a short drive away to a myriad of activities for all ages. But, we were also happy to just spend the day relaxing, swimming, hanging in the Rec room, or chilling on the outdoor patio/bar at this gorgeous home. We received top notch treatment from the owner, Andy, and property manager, Vern ~ Both very attentive and helpful. We were even visited by a couple dolphins! There isn’t one thing we would change about this tropical gem. Thank you!!!!
