The home was spacious, clean, beautiful, and private. The owners were very responsive, and THE GROTTO POOL was fabulous!! The kitchen is very well-appointed with everything one needs. My family has voted it one of the best places we've stayed over the years. I highly recommend.

Beautiful location for family reuinion

Wonderful home on a beautiful property! House was clean, very comfortable beds, and tranquil vibes. Jen’s communication was clear and detailed. She answered questions quickly and requested an easy check-in/out process. This made for an easy trip! Our group enjoyed our time and hope to visit again!

We had the time of our lives here for a guys weekend getaway. Jennifer’s property was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. The pictures don’t do it justice. What really stood out is when the little things popped up like having issues with the lock code, questions about the AC upstairs, etc Jennifer was incredibly responsive. She’s an A host. I have extended family that loves to travel and I’d absolutely recommend we look at this place in the future. Thank you for such an amazing weekend, Jennifer.

Go to the Grotto!

The home and its many outdoor features (outdoor bar/lounges, grotto, lazy river, hot tub, basketball court, tree-lined acreage, etc.) along with plenty of indoor areas for gathering, game playing, etc., offered many options for both a fun-filled vacation getaway. The hosts were exactly what VRBO renters desire: great communication as well as a comfortable, well-appointed home.

Hidden Gem

We loved our stay. Lots of space, the pool area is amazing as described. Not too far of a drive to Downtown Tampa, but has the feeling of being far away from the city. Jennifer is great with communication. You will not be disappointed

Hidden away peaceful location

My friends and I truly enjoyed the house, backyard and picturesque scenery. We felt like we were out in the country yet still had all the conveniences of a large city. The house is spaceous and great for large groups. We loved the large hot tub in the beautiful backyard.

Great Place, Great Time!

Wow what a place! We had three families with kids and the place was plenty big and well furnished, had everything we needed. The pool is absolutely incredible, we found we didn't need to go anywhere (did do one beach day) because the kids and adults were having so much fun by the pool. Owner was very responsive to any concerns. We would definitely go back!

Beautiful house

This property was amazing. The backyard pool was the best we cancelled our day at Busch Garden because my kids didnt want to leave the pool. This place is the best, but the best part of the whole expierance was our host Jennifer. She was responded to every request promptly. Looking forward to booking it again

Spring Break Paradise!

This home was a HIT with our multi generational blended family. There was room to spread out and something for everyone. I especially appreciated the multi level pool design with shallow spots where our 3 year old granddaughter could play. My only "complaint" is that this property has set the bar impossibly high for future family travel. Communication with Jennifer (owner) was excellent. House is well appointed, the bed in the master is exceedingly comfortable.

All I wanted to use was the hot tub

I was so sick of hot tubs not working on all my travels this past year, and this one was no different. The hot tub was not working and it did not get fixed till the last day I was there. I am sensitive to cold temperatures so the pool was too cold for me. Waste of money, I regret staying there. It was father’s day weekend and my dad was dead, so I was trying to do something to not be so depressed about it. Instead I waited all day father’s day for service they never called or arrived. Next day they let me know they had truck issues and never called to let me know so I could do something besides wait for a truck on father’s day.

Great escape

The family couldn’t stop commenting on how perfect and wonderful the place was. Other than golfing there was no need to go anywhere else. The pool area was perfect for fun and much needed relaxation. We would definitely stay again!

The pool is amazing! It makes the place! We had a group of 12 and others join to swim during the day and people had a hard time leaving the pool. The temperature was perfect, the grotto was awesome, and the waterfall was icing on the cake. Jen was very accommodating and always super responsive. The house had everything you would need and plenty of room to hang out. We enjoyed the entertainment room and visiting the neighbor pig. It was a peaceful house and beautiful as well. The only reason we wouldn’t give this place five stars is the comfort of the beds. The beds were very firm and the one sofa bed mattress was difficult to pull out and felt like there was no padding left on the mattress. Other than that, we had a great time, had plenty of room and were happy dogs were welcome as well.

Incredible!

This place is heaven on earth. Oasis is the right word. The house is incredible and well equipped and the pool is out of this world. Do be warned that with the pool heated plus the sun, it was hovering around 94 degrees the whole time. We really enjoyed it in the evenings but it was too hot during the day. Kitchen was lovely. Communicating with the host was fast and easy! I hope to return someday!

The Grotto

The house is very nice. The backyard/pool area is outstanding. The best outdoor living space that we have stayed in for Spring Break. Private area, but close enough to things that you can get to everything quickly. Highly recommend.

Great get away house!!

We loved this house, it had so much for our kids to do, some sports equipment could be updated, but what they had still worked for them. Everyone enjoyed the fabulous pool. We enjoyed quite time at the lake looking for crocs (but never saw any) were going to miss the sweet little pig who we named “piggie”. The owners are very quick to respond with any questions or.concerns. And we’re very nice to talk to. Even Tom was a great help and great to talk to as well. If I had one bad thing to say it would be the outdoor bar area needs to be spiffed up some, I was afraid of spiders in the one room where pool toys are in. Also pool chemicals were in there and I didn’t want my grandkids near them. The tiki hut needed to be a bit more modernized, kind of dirty. If we were back in the area we would stay again for such thank you for everything!!

Amazing Home

We had an amazing stay! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The yard was our favorite part of the house. We spent almost the entire time outside playing the various of games that were provided for us at the house. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to enjoy some outside time while on vacation.

Family fun

We had a great vacation and found the property to be everything that is stated and more. Our host was fantastic and fast in answering the few questions we had. The location was beautiful and very private even though we were 30 minutes or less from all the sites we wanted to visit. The pool is as amazing as it looks! I personally loved the fishpond which was a surprise to me. Thank you for a great vacation!
