Beautiful property with a fun “private resort” vibe great for the whole family! Just blocks from the beautiful gulf coast in a family friendly neighborhood. Worked well for 2 families including 4 kids and 4 adults with plenty of space for everyone.

Fantastic property inside and out! Interior beautifully decorated with every amenity. Backyard equally as impressive! Something for everyone… You could spend the whole week and never leave the property! Owners very responsive and add the personal touch. Top notch experience!

Great Place!
Our family of 5 adults and 3 toddlers enjoyed our stay at the Tarpon House and AMI. This house is a real gem! It has everything you need. The home is beautiful and spacious with comfy beds, plenty of bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The backyard pool, spa and outdoor living area were great for hanging out during the day with the kids and a relaxing retreat at night for the adults. The beach accessories were a plus. Don't hesitate to book this one.
This property has it all! The outside has everything you’d ever need to stay occupied and has plenty. The outdoor full size refrigerator was so useful and the new ice maker inside made it easy to skip the trips for ice bags. Christmas decor was all around and the kitchen came stocked with very nice items. The hosts also had personable touches and even provided a baby gate, high chair and a pack n play! Cindy and Dave were by far better hosts than using a rental agency!

Tarpon House is at the top of our list of houses to rent on AMI in the future
Tarpon House is head and shoulders above any rental we have experienced on the island and we have been coming for approximately 20 years. The owners have thought out every little detail. There were quality beds & linens, the AC was at an appropriate temperature, pool toys, an abundance of nice beach chairs, tent, and wagon, enough dishes and silverware for everyone in the house. The house was extremely clean and just as presented in the photos. The many small details such as having clips for chips and other thoughtful things made a huge difference. It was as if the owners culminated all the things they wished were included in a rental and added those items to the house for all of us to enjoy. We were even greeted by a personalized welcome message on the Scrabble Board on the wall. We will be back!

Tarpon house Dec 21-28
Very nice home. Our only complaints. There was one towel for each person, six bath towels and not every bathroom had a hand towel plus one washcloth. Being the towels did not dry overnight it was not good. Also one roll of toilet paper some baths did not have a full roll
We also had only one dishcloth and we ate all our meals in except one.
We do this every other year and have never encountered such a small amount of towels.
Once again—the house was beautiful but for what it cost to rent we expected adequate supplies

If you encounter any issues during your stay, we encourage you to bring them to our attention so that we can address them promptly.

Wonderful house
So many little touches here that made us feel right at home! The house has it all, wonderful provisions for the beach and pool, the inside is clean and beds comfy. Everything works and is easy to operate. We would absolutely love to stay here again, no questions asked.
When reviewing a place, you also have to consider the management company as well. The staff was responsive, proactive, and as easy to work with as any we've used on the island before or really any rental company anywhere for that matter. We'll be looking at their properties in the future that could meet our needs, but will always start our search first for the Tarpon House.

We had a wonderful time at the Tarpon home and would highly recommend. The house was neat and clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor space was awesome from the pool and covered living area off of it. We had 5 young kids and between the pool and the sports toys they had more than enough to do the entire time. We would stay here again!
We recently stayed at Tarpon House and cannot wait to return. The house was beautiful, clean, organized and perfect for our family. Our kids loved the bunk beds, pool, and all of the pool toys. The adults loved the location, outdoor living space, organized and stocked kitchen items and the number of full bathrooms. Such a lovely home!
