Wow! Just Wow!

We LOVED this house and owner! Not only was this place spotless, appeared new, smelled fresh, and fully equipped, but also very easy to get to and gorgeous. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t “just perfect” and the owner even came over while we were gone and took care of a tiny issue. The back porch is truly to die for and we spent most of early mornings out there drinking coffee and watching the dolphins as well as our late evenings. We loved Circles and Apollo Beach Diner where we ate twice at both. Finns and Vineyards were delicious too. This was just the perfect spot for enjoying several spring training baseball games. Thank you so much for offering your house and being such wonderful hosts.

Great Family Vacation!

We all loved this place. Loved sitting out on the dock seeing sunrise and sunset, we saw dolphins and was great to see. Place was very clean with all the essentials needed. My kids and I loved to fish, and we caught at total of 15 fish off the dock. It was in a great location, and Patti responded to us very quickly if we had any questions. Loved bringing our dog and enjoyed it as much as we did! They had coolers, kayaks, fishing poles, beach chairs....all the things we needed to enjoy our beach trip. We will definitely stay there again next year! Thank you!

Wonderful vacation home in Apollo Beach

I live in Apollo Beach and rented out this vacation home for family during our yearly family reunion. Beautiful home with a fantastic view. My daughter saw dolphins almost every morning. Will not hesitate to rent this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Patti Vierow

Mark and Patti lived in Minnesota their entire lives until they decided to move to Florida in the Fall of 2014 and fully enjoy the Sunshine State. We love this home so much that we have decided to allow others to enjoy it when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

The moment we walked through the door and saw the spectacular views of the open water, we knew this was the home for us.

What makes this property unique

This very private home is on open water with beautiful views. We are minutes from the world famous Apollo Beach Manatee Viewing Center. This is a free Eco park where hundreds of manatees gather. Since our home is in view of the center, manatees come into our bay to feed. We also have daily sitings of dolphins at our dock.
The Apollo Beach Park Reserve and beach is just down the road. You can take a short walk, bike ride, or kayak to get there. There is also an abundance of kayak trails through the mangroves that make for a very enjoyable adventure. All less than 5 minutes away! You can't get any closer and you may never want to leave.
