We had a wonderful stay! Owners were extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Home was very clean and organized for visitors. LOVED LOCATION! 2 blocks from beautiful sunsets on St. Joseph Sound and the Pinellas bike path!!! Highly recommend this property!!!
This house ranks up there among the best places we’ve stayed! We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, coffee, snacks left by the host, bikes, helmets, locks, and private pool. We enjoyed having the trail so close. The host was quick to respond and share recommendations. I would definitely recommend others to book.
Excellent hosts were very responsive. Lovely house.

Thanks for your positive review, Jeanne. We always enjoy hosting you and your sister at Casa Tropical. And we look forward to continuing to welcome you both back in the future. Cheers.
Kitchen was very well equipped even though we didn’t cook the 4 days we were there. House was super clean and a few extra niceties. Location is great with the Pinellas bike trail a few blocks away. We weren’t able to use the pool because the weather was too cool. Would definitely rent this property again. Communicating with property manager was pretty instantaneous

Alberta, thanks so much for your lovely review. It always makes us happy to know that our guests enjoyed their stay at Casa Tropical. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
This was our first experience renting a vacation home and it was a very easy process! The house was great and tucked away in a quiet little community, perfect for relaxing! We both really enjoyed our stay and said we definitely would love to come back!

Bradley, we're so glad we were able to provide you with a positive first experience. We take great pride in serving our guests at Casa Tropicál. We love receiving repeat guests and we'd be more than happy to welcome you and your wife again anytime!
My daughter and I enjoyed staying at this property. It was peaceful, quiet, and we felt safe. The pool was the highlight of our trip. The stores were near by and easy to get to.
We would recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet place to stay.
We will diffinitely come back again.
The house was just as lovely as all the pictures indicated. The area was very quiet and a great base to see all the sights we wanted to in the area. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and very serviceable. The owner graciously answered any and all questions that we had. Highly recommend this property.
This is our second stay at Casa Tropicál and it was another wonderful winter get away. Chantal and Luis are excellent hosts. The property is in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in private backyard. The house has all your needs covered. We will stay again!
Luis & Chantal are without a doubt the most responsive hosts we have had the pleasure of working with. The home is lovely & has everything we need to thoroughly enjoy our stay.
the property was exactly as described and had all of the little things that most rentals do not offer. The bed were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. the bikes and beach equipment were great. One of the best VRBO experience I have had
Chantal & Luis shared a lovely home and pool with us. The neighborhood is a quiet spot centered around the Crystal Beach park. Every evening the sunset draws a neighborhood group. The home is very clean and comfortable with all the amenities you can imagine. The private heated pool is great. Chantal & Luis quickly responded to our communications. We’ve reserved again for next year.
My sister and I have been visiting other family in Florida for more than 20 years, always in a different VRBO. Since we have found Casa Tropical we stay there every visit. The house is beautiful, stocked with almost anything you might need and Luis & Chantal are amazing hosts.

We're so glad you and your sister enjoy your stays at Casa Tropicál! We look forward to hosting both of you again next year.
When we opened the door to the house, it was love at first sight. Beautifully decorated, warm and sunny, so many personal touches to make our stay feel like our home away from home. The pool was wonderful, the accommodations were five star. The house was comfortable and homey. The neighborhood was quiet and close to many activities. We will be glad to visit again and look forward to the next stay !

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Casa Tropicál, Ken! Thanks for being such a wonderful guests. We especially appreciated your quick and clear communication. We truly look forward to hosting you again!
Chantal and Luis are wonderful hosts! 5* Communication was prompt and clear. Their home is clean, spacious, and lovingly furnished with virtually everything you could need. (This is not the typical furnished-by-IKEA rental, in all the best ways!) The location and neighborhood are ideal. If given the opportunity to visit Casa Tropical again, I would not hesitate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We have rented numerous homes through VRBO. This was the best yet as many are less than advertised. This home is more than you would expect. The hosts are amazing and the house is spotless and appointed with everything you could want to make your vacation perfect. We will definitely come back. Chantel and Louis are amazing hosts.

The owners (Chantal & Luis) reached out & kept us informed from the time of booking through our stay. We did not need to contact them because we experienced absolutely no problems. The property & amenities were exactly as described. This house has everything you need!

Thank you for your kind words, Jeanne. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We would love the opportunity to host you again in the future. Thanks for being wonderful guests!
We've stayed here twice, for a total of 5 weeks. The listing describes it perfectly. Hosts Chantal and Luis are available, friendly and responsive. The house is really a labor of love on their part, beautiful, comfortable and fully equipped. Crystal Beach is simple, lovely, quiet. We loved the proximity to Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Honeymoon Beach State Park, Clearwater, St. Pete and Sarasota. Many fine restaurants! And of course the heated saltwater pool. Book Casa Tropical!

Hi Nancy & Paul, we're so glad you've enjoyed your multiple stays at Casa Tropicál! It's always nice to see when the pool is appreciated and gets good use. It's one of our personal favorite features as well. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
A beautiful home and private backyard sanctuary! This is our second time staying here and we love it! So thoughtful to have fresh flowers, muffins, and strawberries for us. The kitchen is incredible. We love to stay home and grill and that is so perfect to enjoy at the table by the pool. Super close to the bike trail which is our favorite activity. Plus a short walk to see the amazing sunsets. The only disappointment was the heater was not able to get fixed in the pool and it was simply too cold to swim in the pool. We love the small town feeling of Crystal Beach. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! God’s blessings to you both.
The house is charming and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and lots of silverware. There is a well-set coffee and tea area with lots of choices for tea. All the furniture was in good shape and quite comfortable. There were vases with fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival. The pool area is lovely and we often ate breakfast and dinner on the patio, poolside. Crystal Beach is a great neighborhood. The house is located close to the bike path and it’s a great neighborhood to take walks. Be sure to take a short walk to the waterfront for spectacular sunsets. The host was easily reached and responsive. We had a lovely 11 day visit.

We truly appreciated hosting you and your husband Donna! Thanks for your kind words.
The house was very nice in a quiet neighborhood. The hostess left us a welcome tray of muffins and fruit. We especially enjoyed the shaded lanai around the pool and patio. We didnt get a chance to use the bikes. The beach wagon left for our use made going to the beach very easy. We also forgot a few things when we left that we didn’t realize and she contacted us that her cleaner had found them and would we like her to mail them to us. We really appreciated that! We would stay again.
