Great Place To Stay

We wanted a place to stay while we attended Phillies game in Clearwater. The house was well equipped with a nice swimming pool, great deck, and on a small lake complete with wildlife including alligators. The beds were extremely comfortable and the owner Elaine was a joy to deal with.

Adorable Little House Close to Lots of Old Florida Attractions

We were wanting to take a little getaway and decided to keep it local to support those who were affected by the recent hurricanes. This rental was perfectly located. It is a small house, but the outdoor space makes up for it. Who wants to just hang out inside when you have a great view and lovely outdoor space to enjoy. We were so happy to be able to bring our dog, and the owner was so nice and checked in on us to ensure our stay was going well.

Loved the pool, deck on the water, beds were comfortable and great water pressure. Most importantly clean and stocked full of everything you need. We evacuated out of Charleston and did one day at Disney. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if going to the Tampa area. Owner was super easy to communicate with, very responsive.

Wonderful stay!

The property was great, we enjoyed our stay! Elaine was very communicative and we will stay again! She allows pets to stay but we didn’t bring ours this trip. You would never know that pets are allowed as the home smelled good and no traces of pets. My husband is severely allergic to cats and did not experience any irritation as he normally would staying anywhere that a cat had ever stayed. The house was very clean and the beds are comfortable! Thank you!

The house has a cozy home feel to it. The backyard is the perfect place to sit back and relax while enjoying nature. The birds, turtles and alligators where so nice to watch. We made weekend plans that we had to cancel due to the weather but the house provided everything needed to make it a great weekend. I would definitely return.
