Wonderful stay away from home

We loved our stay here. So close to the ballpark to see our Phillies Spring Training. We grilled at night and enjoyed the wonderful backyard where we relaxed every night. Melissa was a wonderful host and very communicative. The home was clean and truly felt like our home away from home. We will definitely stay here again next year!

Relaxing

We were actually there for a funeral that consisted of three days of gatherings. It was so nice to come back to a cozy home which is much more preferable than a hotel room. An added plus was it was dog friendly and our fur babies throughly enjoyed the home and backyard!! We even had the opportunity to bring my husband’s father back with us for an evening meal and card game it was such an enjoyable evening for him to break up the stress of adjusting to life after losing his wife.

Perfect vacation destination for us!!

Felt just like home, only warmer. My dogs loved the fenced-in back yard, and we also loved sitting out there with them. The house was very comfortable, it had everything we needed and Melissa was a wonderful host....we hated to leave. Hopefully we'll be able to plan a vacation there again in the future.

Great house in an excellent location

We had a great stay at this house. The property was about 15 minutes from our mother's house in Safety Harbor, and 15 minutes from multiple beaches. The house has everything needed for a stay, and the kitchen is well equipped for a week long stay. We had a question and Michelle responded quickly with great information. Even our pup felt at home in this friendly pet environment.

Family Get Together

The property was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room for relaxation and conversation. The outdoor setting was enjoyable except for the fireworks on New Year's Eve. The only drawback was the driveway incline. This made it difficult for seniors to get in and out of their vehicles.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home

What a delightful and comfortable place to stay. This house is truly a home, filled with many thoughtful touches to make a stay here comfortable. The home is immaculately clean, well laid out, and offers everything needed. This is truly a place you can just bring your suitcase and enjoy. We brought our two fur babies and they had a wonderful time as well. The backyard is a perfect space. Thank you so much for the use of your home. It was a delight.

Best Stay Ever

The pics do not do this property justice! So beautiful and cozy! Our host asked why we were coming in and provided softball themed cookies! So thoughtful! She even had fresh fruit, bottles of water, sunscreen and shampoo/conditioner. Beautiful outdoor area and a great office for my teens to work on their homework while traveling. Thank you again for a wonderful time!

The best VBRO Experience to date!

From the start of booking this property, the property owner was in contact and kept me informed even of the weather conditions. The house was meticulously clean and all the thoughtful touches were appreciated. We were to have a 15mth old baby with us and the owner included toys and even offered to baby-proof the house. The backyard although no pool was an oasis and I enjoyed every morning coffee there. The location is perfect, near beaches and shops. I recommend this property hands down!
