It was everything that it advertised and more! We were able to enjoy all the amenities, pull out couch for the kids, they really enjoyed the projector screen and pool! We got to fish and landed a lot of different types of fish including 2 stingrays! The whole family had fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this house and it had everything else needed to feel like we were at home away from home! Thanks Brian and Trina for sharing your home with us! We would stay here again!

Waterfront Oasis

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well stocked with essentials. We loved the pool and the sandy beach by the dock. We had a few minor issues but they were taken care of immediately. The Hosts we’re always available as well as the caretaker. We would definitely stay again.

We were 3 generations, ages 13-72. We all enjoyed the property and would stay again. Several of us used the pool. My granddaughter would have lived in it. We enjoyed the outside seating area. 4 people did some kayaking & 1 did some fishing. Having the large washer & dryer was nice for us. Any questions or concerns were addressed quickly. It was a nice location for us as well.

Thank you for welcoming us into your home. We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. Just what we needed. We appreciated all the attention to details like extension cords and plug ins for charging cords, hooks to hang towels (inside and outside), hand soap and paper products to get us started. Everything was very clean and accessible. Thank you again!

Perfect Getaway

What an amazing getaway we had celebrating my wife’s birthday! Brian and Trina have created a resort atmosphere including all the amenities. From fishing off the pier (tackle and rods included) to kayaking through the canals. The pool is amazing day and night. They really put their heart into every detail. If your goal is to chill or explore they have you covered. 5 stars for their communication and availability to answer any questions! We will definitely be back.

Perfect for families, even teens! 😜

This property is clean, neighborhood is safe and great for families! We travelled with our teens and pets and this place was perfect! Lots of space for everyone to lounge, and amentities did not disappoint! We drove from Ohio and were so pleasantly surprised to get a message from Brian saying house is ready, check in anytime! A full 2.5 hours before the usual check in time! Long drive dream! Dogs had safe place to explore as well! We went to the beach one day (our usual beach spot ) and we're so happy to be back in our rental away from all the noise, traffic and long lines for everything! We will be back! Thanks Brian and Trina!

Family trip

The house was clean, comfortably furnished and provided a lot of supplies including fishing gear. We were very disappointed in the kayaks however. There are 2 singles and one double, but only one seat back was in working condition and it was on the double kayak. We were hoping to use them on the canal. Also, the sliding glass door to the lanai does not lock so anytime we left, we had to hope nothing got stolen. The pool was fantastic along with the chaises and chairs provided. I would highly recommend this house, just dont count on the kayaks. We did have to contact the owner when we arrived because the code did not work. They got back to me within 5 minutes and fixed the issue.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! The kayak seat backs are being repaired. The lanai doors were checked out and found to be working just fine. Our goal is for every guest to have a great experience. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention, and only wish you had contacted us during your stay so we could have resolved them for you.

My adult children and husband and I came to Apollo Beach to celebrate his 60th birthday. We had a fantastic time at your lovely home. Grilled a couple of meals out poolside. The pool was wonderful a lot of fun was had playing basketball. Kayaks were a hit. We watched a soccer game on the big screen. It was a very quiet neighborhood. It was a truly peaceful and relaxing family trip.

Fabulous property & stay

We were impressed from the moment we walked in. The home and yard/landscaping were well cared for and maintained. Brian and Trinia have thought of everything... I even packed my blender and coffee grinder thinking those aren't standard kitchen appliances we always find in a rental-- only to be pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen was thoroughly appointed. Doggie doors for the pups to a gated area was great... The dock, pool area and lanai were loved by all!! I gave location/neighborhood 4 stars only because we were a bit further into the cove than we had hoped and it took about an hour to get our boat back and forth in the water to the marina. But that was a minor inconvenience even and we are so grateful to have had access to the dock & lift during our visit. Can not say enough - we will be back!! :)

Amazing property and location! First class!

We stayed for a week at this property. Our check in was easy and straight forward. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. Highlights were a very nice pool and pool area, lanai, and dock on the canal. Small sand area for kids and a great view of the sunset. It also has a great movie screen and projector with a nice surround sound system, we enjoyed movies every night of our stay. The beds are comfy, washer and dryer, and an extra refrigerator for overflow drinks and food. Big large bathrooms with plenty of towels and amenities. The location is perfect with easy access to the bay and local restaurants. We rented a boat and kept it on the dock and enjoyed the waterway and fishing from the dock. The hosts were extremely helpful and provided information on boat rentals,‘ fishing and more. They even had some rods we could use to catch some fish. You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay and better hosts. Top notch on every level. We can’t wait to come back!

This house was perfect for my family and I. We stayed with friends who also had a toddler and it was very child friendly, which we were happy about. The location was great, we enjoyed st Pete and spent a day at Disney. I would recommend this to my family and friends!

Overall this was a great place to rent. It was easy to use our boat, pool was great. We didn’t go anywhere but by boat. We would suggest a second large garbage can outside when we checked in the can was already full.
