Just what we needed

The house was quiet, super clean and comfortable. It has everything needed for a relaxing stay. The back yard needs a little work because there is no actual grass but all in all the house is amazing. I would definitely stay again.

March 24-29 stay

We had a wonderful visit. The house was immaculately clean. The cupboards were labeled to make it easy to find things. I loved relaxing on the screened in porch. Quiet neighborhood and close to many parks and the beach. I would stay there again!

Perfect for my picky Mom!

I brought my Mom to a music festival in the area. She is very picky about cleanliness and, well….everything lol! She absolutely loved staying in this house! It was perfect for our needs! The host made communication easy and the check-in process couldn’t be easier for two older ladies. We will definitely stay here again if we get back down that way!

our stay in Ruskin FL

Updated 3-2 home in Ruskin FL. Plenty of amenities. Not too bad to get to from Interstate 75. Quite a bit of construction going on in the area. All of the home functions worked well and we had no problems. We would stay there again if we are in that area.

Good home for people with small dogs

Pros: The house was clean and bug free. The flooring is modern and durable and the primary bathroom is nicely updated. Screen porch and fenced yard were helpful with our two little dogs. We had a glitch with the wifi and the host responded quickly and got it working. Convenient location to publix and some nice restaurants in Apollo Beach.Cons: The neighborhood was a bit messy and seemed to have a lot of rentals which was not unexpected. If you are looking for a newer home that allows short term rentals I think that is typical and there are not a lot of options.There are even fewer choices with a fenced back yard that allow small dogs. The only complaint would be that the back yard is all weeds and a lot of dirt. Fortunately it didn't rain during our visit, but having a towel handy to clean your dogs feet when they come in is a good idea.

5/5 Stars – A Perfect Home Away From Home!

We chose this property for its convenient location near Moffitt Ruskin, but we’ll be returning for so much more—the beautiful accommodations and the incredibly kind, accommodating hosts. The home’s layout was ideal, with spacious rooms that allowed me to move comfortably using my walker after surgery. The beds were wonderfully cozy, ensuring restful nights, and the neighborhood was peaceful and friendly, making us feel safe and right at home. This was more than just a rental—it was a welcoming retreat during a challenging time. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning!
