Very clean, beautiful property.
Loved staying here and would definitely recommend this home. Our third VRBO stay in the last six months and it was the most comfortable. This property was excellently cleaned. Kids loved the foosball table and the pool. Beds were very comfy. My only request would be hooks or bars in the bathrooms for towels, clothes, etc.

Enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our family vacation to Tampa. We are a very active family and the location of this property was close to the beaches and other activities we had planned. The house was spacious and we loved having access to the chairs, wagon, and cooler. Our children also enjoyed having the pool and used it almost every night of our stay. We would stay there again!

Ok stay
The group before us smoked in the house and left an awful smell behind. The property manager was responsive to my request for a refund and the cleaning crew did as good of a job as they could. It would have been much better had the prior tenants been more considerate of the accommodations.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 9, 2024
We apologize again, we let you know about it upon arrival as our cleaners thought that they had got rid of most of the smell. Our cleaning crew did everything they could in the timeframe they had. We offered you a full refund and you declined. We then refunded you a nights rent. We did everything we could. It was completely out of our control. Take care.

The Good The Bad
The Good House was fantastic!, very clean, spacious for our group of 5. On site laundry was great, heating/cooling worked as it should to keep us comfortable. Location was great for what we had planned, close to lots of amenities. The Bad Pool, was filthy when we arrived on a Monday afternoon of a 4 night stay, appeared not to be cleaned in a while… pump was leaking water, control panel in alarm due to faulty sensor. Very specific details/rules are laid out in rental agreement that pool must be accessible on Tuesday's for cleaning purposes, we told kids that it will be cleaned the next day and they can use it then. Well that didn’t happen either, the pool wasn’t cleaned till sometime on thursday and even then circ pump wasn’t running to flow water through solar panels. We weren’t worried about how cold the water was, just disappointed the pool wasn’t functioning due to what appeared to be lack of maintenance. My personal opinion on pool — People book these homes with a pool for a reason. We pay EXTRA just for this specific amenity. I understand temperature is variable on solar panel type systems, however cleanliness and functionality should be compensated for if it can’t be fulfilled as advertised. Small item to note, oven has an issue, oven i believe has a faulty element as temp couldn’t get above 360 and it took just about 30min to get there , not a big deal breaker for us as it still got our pizza cooked, just took longer than it should.

Great stay
The house was clean and spacious, located so close to the beaches! We loved having access to chairs, wagon, cooler and beach toys. The pool was cold, obviously not a fault of the owner, they can’t control the weather. My kids didn’t care, they still swam several times in the pool! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Enjoying place for a few Days
This place was nice and comfortable to stay for our family vacation. The host was helpful with any of our needs. The only downside was the solar heated pool was not very warm as expected. Otherwise, we would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice place to get away. It is not too far from things to do and to enjoy a trip to Florida.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes, as advertised, when the weather is cooler and not as sunny and warm, the solar heating pool will not obviously warm up efficiently. Take care!

Wonderful house to stay with people all ages from months to more 😊. We celebrate my daughter 18 birthday the way she always wished. With her family and close to the beach. With her grandma, auntie, little cousins, siblings and parents. House was very nice and perfectly arranged. Planning more stays there. Very close to all beaches. Loved every second spent at this beautiful property.

Excellent stay in Largo
When we arrived, this house was very clean and well kept. The pool was a good place to cool off especially after a day at the beach. Indian Rocks beach was just minutes away. Large living room with plenty of room for the family. The beds were comfortable with nice sheets. There was everything we needed for the little ones, from a highchair to a pack and play. We enjoyed our stay.

2 week stay
The property itself is pretty good in terms of location and layout. We had 4 adults and a few kids and had enough space to spread out. The location is very close to grocery stores and takeout fast food spots. Also big box target and Walmart are not too far. Beaches are about 8-15 minutes away depending on which one you go to. The property manager is very communicative and nice. Some of the areas that could use improvement is to have a few more conveniences for longer stays. They are very precise about toilet paper rolls and tide pods so you have to buy your own which ends up being a surplus for you to have to thro away or take home with you. There is pretty much no spices or condiments either which is unlike any other stay we have had. There are also requirements to report damage within a short time frame after checking in. Not an easy task after long travel and little ones. But with the property being clean and a communicative property manager this can be managed. Just a heads up.

Florida vacation
We enjoyed our stay overall. There were quite a few amenities, such as, pots/pans, plates/cups, beach towels, beach chairs/umbrellas… The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating. There we are few issues with the property. There was no fan in the guest bathroom. The fan in one of the guests rooms didn’t work at all. There was mold on the shower curtain in the master bathroom. The refrigerator leaked water and didn’t produce ice. The dishwasher also leaked water.

Glad you enjoyed it! They did not put fans in bathrooms if there was a window when these houses were built nor have we had anyone find it an issue. All of the fans work, perhaps, the switch was off? We washed off the small amount of mold that was on the bottom corner of the curtain (sorry about that). New nothing of the fridge or dishwasher leaking until this review, will address both items immediately.

Perfect In Town/Beach Getaway
The home was EXACTLY as listed. The rooms were all clean and bright. Everything is clearly marked in the home. The Sun porch was a lovely spot to begin the day. Communications from the owner/mgr were clear and very detailed. The neighborhood is very peaceful, and the location is ideal for quick access to shops and the beach. We would definitely book this location again.

Great Family Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, large and in a great area. Indian Rocks Beach is very close (about 3 miles) and Clearwater is about 10-15 minutes drive away. There are plenty of restaurants near within short driving distance and some within walking distance. The kitchen was nice and well-stocked and the bathrooms were nice. I believe the master bath was just remodeled so it was great. There was plenty of room to spread out (especially with our 20-month-old) and we enjoyed the pool most days. The pool was enclosed so no worries about mosquitoes (or gators!). We enjoyed walking around the property every day looking for lizards. The wagon and beach chairs were very handy as well.

Good location
The house is in a great location with close access to the beach and other local attractions. The check in process was seamless. The gentleman that was there during check-in was attentive and had made arrangements to address the issues with the pool. The amenities were similar to what was pictured on the website. However, the shower in the master bath appears to have had the tile painted which is now peeling away and needs to be addressed. During our stay, the grille and subsequently the propane tank (that the property manager stated was only a month old) caught fire and we had to call 911 and temporarily evacuate the house. Overall we were able to enjoy ourselves and were grateful no one was seriously injured.

Glad you enjoyed the area. The shower just started peeling and we are working on getting that resolved. Our sincere apologies about the BBQ. It has been removed from the property and glad no one one was hurt.
