Repeat stay

We stayed 7 nights in 2023 and 8 nights this time. This house feels like home to us. Everything we need is included. This trip we spent more time sitting in the lovely sunroom. We hope to travel to Florida again and that this house is available to us once again!

Visiting from Denver

We had a great time in Holiday. The house was great, AC was perfect on the hot days, so clean, nicely decorated. I traveled with my Godson and it was great having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was easy getting around being so close to HWY 19. Very comfy, made traveling and resting very easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Aloha Gardens

The house is very well kept up and a very nice home. We had a few birds come and land in the back yard. I would highly recommend this house to stay in.

Such a cool little place!

So happy I decided to book this. A cute little house right on the canal. Our first morning we got to watch a gator in the canal and the birds are FANTASTIC and so interesting to watch. We really enjoyed sitting outside watching the wildlife. The bed I had was very comfortable. The house was very clean and tidy. Pretty much anything you may need is there. Loved the locking system where I could unlock and lock the door from my phone. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. You would never know you are not far from a major road with any type of store or restaurant you may want. If you are in the area, this is a MUST stay at house, while you are there check out the Epperson Lagoon in Wesley Chapel. The only 'negative' would be there was almost no toilet paper, both bathrooms were near empty when we arrived. No biggie we bought some, we can't all remember everything lol. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay at your cozy home!

Clean and peaceful with special touches like snacks, water, soaps, towels, and everything to make you comfortable. The notebook in the kitchen was helpful, and the notes and communication by the host so you know they are reachable and care were great. One of the best VRBO I have stayed at.
Even a knight in shining armor to keep us safe.
This trip and that view were therapeutic—the best VRBO I've ever been.

Right on the canal

The house was perfect for our family of four. We had multiple spaces to get a little alone time but also huge living area to come back together. Everything was comfortable and clean. We got to see a gator in the canal out back. It was a great stay!

they thought of everything

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You really did think of everything a group staying at your home might need. Your communication was always prompt.Just a heads up to others considering renting from here. They are missionaries and use the profits to front that endeavor. It's not mentioned in the listing and it caught me off-guard as I am atheist.

Spring Break

The home was well cared for and clean. The back yard is bordered by a beautiful waterway. Birds, turtles and a daily alligator. Don’t be deceived by the busy street. We were there 3 weeks and enjoyed the quiet and solitude. The care taker replaced the damaged propane grill the day after we arrived- impressive! We did have trouble with the TV. Tarpon Springs was just far enough away to enjoy and than leave. Honeymoon Beach is well worth a visit. Great restaurants (seafood!) nearby. We would like to return and highly recommend this enjoyable home.

Perfect place to relax

We had such a nice relaxing time. We spent a lot of time by the big beautiful tree in the backyard watching the turtles, birds and alligator in the canal. We felt very comfortable, safe and at home here and hope to visit again.

This house has everything you need!

When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by snacks on the counter; this his the spot, after a long drive. The host was quick to respond, if we had any questions. The kitchen and bedrooms were fully stocked with everything you could need. The view in the back was stunning, too! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Nice retreat by the water

The house is a hidden gem. It was very clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. The traffic out front is a bit crazy, but you don’t notice it once you’re inside or enjoying the backyard. We loved sitting outside in the morning watching the birds, alligators, and turtles.

Perfect Getaway

We travel alot and this is by far one of the cutest and coziest little house we have ever stayed at. Its super clean and even though its in a neighborhood, the home is quiet. The florida room was perfect for reading and watching all the wildlife. We loved sitting by the lake enjoying coffee in the morning and tea at night under the lighted trees. Beds are comfy and home was well stocked for cooking . We prepared a taco bar for my husbands family to visit for dinner and had everything we needed for that meal and for every meal we prepared . The house is also convenient to groceries and dinners out. Located near Tarpon Springs we enjoyed shopping and Greek cuisine. We will definately be booking here in the future. I would give the house more than 5 stars if i could.

Propreté laisse à désirer

Nous avons aimé malgré tout notre séjour à Aloha Gardens! Mais des notre arrivée, il a fallu que je nettoie presqu'entièrement la maison. Il y avait une fine couche de sable partout dans la cuisine, les salles de bain n’étaient pas propres et le réfrigérateur non plus. C’était tres dommage car la maison était belle et la cour arrière bien aménagée avec une tres belle vue. Je ne crois pas y retourner un jour.
