Nice house! Very clean, cozy, and the perfect size for our party of 6. You could tell they put in a lot of effort to make the house kid friendly! The hosts were quick to respond to my messages too. I wanted to double check that they had a pack n play before we arrived and they responded within a few minutes.

My family and I had a great time at this property. It was very clean, the kids loved the heated pool and all of the beds were comfortable. The only downside was the water from the fridge and the ice machine did not work, otherwise it was a great stay and I would totally stay there again.

We have family in the Tampa Bay area, so we leased this house for the week while visiting. The house was absolutely perfect! I give it 5 stars all the way! In the future, when we travel down to visit our family, this will be our go to house. It is perfect for both adults and kids. The outdoor pool and fire pit areas are wonderful. The kitchen is well appointed. The bedrooms are all very comfortable. I recommend this home without any hesitation. A big thank you to the property owners for being so attentive and responsive.

Nice Stay

We enjoyed our stay, everything was as listed on the site. The location was about 30 min from everywhere we went, I didn't realize how far out of the city it was. We used the pool and pool room, we enjoyed all of the amenities offered.

Great oasis in Apollo Beach

We were in town for a family event, and this charming home was the perfect retreat. The interior matched the photos on the site perfectly and we found it difficult to leave the pool and patio. Absolutely charming and we look forward to coming back when we are in the area again. Thank you Jesus!

Nice Vacation Home

The house came with everything we needed, and was very clean and well put together. The pool was warm and crystal clear. The washrooms and beds were tidy and comfortable to use. Comes with some board games and a pool table to enjoy with family and/or friends. Would stay again.

Family fishing get away!

Hidden gem right here folks! easy access to home, wonderful layout and 'extras' allowing for a great time. We got up and went fishing each day until about 2pm. Came back to the house and relaxed at this paradise suited for all ages. The screened in pool, fire pit and grill area are attributes that set it apart from the rest.

Great stay…saved us from a terrible hotel situation!

After arriving to FL to find my hotel canceled my reservation without notifying me-I went on the hunt for a Vrbo. We found Jesus and his little property was perfect! Three bedrooms and bathrooms with a pool! Kids loved it-we loved it-everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend this adorable little house with a great outside area!

Very Nice Property

I and my two adult sons stayed at the property for a few days to see some spring training games. Nice quiet neighborhood well located to attend baseball games at different stadiums. Restaurants and grocery stores easily accessible. The owner/manager was very good at communicating with us. Check out was simple, unlike some other VRBO's There is a very nice fire pit, as well as other in home recreational activities.
