Thanksgiving Getaway

Cute place. Had all the things to cook a meal Thanksgiving day. Pool area is nice and the nearby trail is convenient. Was disappointed that Crystal Beach was no longer a beach and the next closest beach we could find was also still closed. Thanks for sharing your place.

This place was just as advertised. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Everything you needed in the kitchen. A beautiful yard with plenty of space in a great location plus a heated pool. 50 feet from the Pinellas bike path where you can ride forever. Minutes from restaurants no matter which way you go.

Summer Vacation

My family had a wonderful one week stay! The property was exceptionally maintained. Close driving distance to quiet beach with white sand, clear waters. After spending time at the beach, it was nice to come back and relax in the pool. Karen was excellent at communicating with us during our stay, and even gave some great recommendations on restaurants in the area. If we ever plan a trip back to the area, would definitely stay again!!

Relaxing Retreat

Our family has been through a lot over the last year, and needed some time away together. Our family of 6 (kids 11, 9, 3, & 6 months) all fit well inside the living area. We had everything we needed as far as amenities go. The show stopper was the fenced in back yard pool. Its a real oasis hidden away in the neighborhood area this property sits. We loved our stay and would recommend it for families and couples alike!
