We had a fabulous week. The house was perfect, clean, and offered everything you needed to enjoy the area. This was our first trip as a family to this area and we will back for sure.
House was clean, nicely updated, and well furnished. We especially enjoyed the pool and linai area, where we spent most of our time. Paula was friendly and easy to communicate with.
The property is in a great location if you are bringing a boat with you. It is a very short ride to Stump Pass and to nearby waterfront restaurants. We did experience issues with the breaker flipping when using the boat lift which was unfortunate. The house is in very nice condition and was clean upon arrival. The house is also stocked with plenty of linens, towels, spices and kitchenware. The host was very communicative prior to our stay but once we arrived, we tried to reach her on the Vrbo app and did not receive a response about heating the pool during the chilly weather. I recommend texting her directly during your stay.
We had another fabulous time here! Paula is a fantastic communicator. The house, amenities & location are wonderful!! We fished off the dock & even saw dolphins at the dock. The house is very clean & pool was great!!
Perfect! Beautiful comfortable home. Close to waterways and boat lift an awesome thing to have. Owners are friendly and so accommodating too. We will book again and again.
We had a fantastic stay at Lemon Bay Hideaway. The house was in a great location and we thoroughly enjoyed all it had to offer. The pool was refreshing and clean and we were able to rent a boat to enjoy the waters. The neighborhood was quiet and close to many shops and restaurants. I highly recommend this listing. Thank you for opening your home to us.
We brought a boat and used the lift for 10 days. Spent days exploring beaches and tiki hut restaurants on the water. Enjoyed sunsets by the pool. Good restaurants nearby. Easy transaction and Communication with hosts. No Complaints.
The house is very nice but the lanai on the water makes the property wonderful! The kitchen is well supplied and there is a good supply of towels. Although we did not use them, there are beach chairs and beach towels. There were a good number of very fine restaurants in the area.
My family and I stayed for a week. The house is perfect! It has great energy and is very comfortable! Paula has done an amazing job with the decor and has everything you need at the house! The dock was great for fishing and my friends brought their boat. The location on Lemon Bay couldn’t have been better!!! The pool was perfect to cool off after a day in the sun! Paula went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and she was gracious to let my friends keep their boat there when they had a problem with their trailer! I will definitely book again!
This is a very nice house located right on the inter-coastal. The pool is awesome, grounds are nice and the rear porch, dock area are excellent. Wasn't real happy to pay the extra fee for the use of the boat lift but after the owner explained that the house sits on the inter-coastal which is a non no-wake zone and large waves constantly hit the dock, it was worth it. Our week long family vacation was made with this property. A boat is a must due to only being less than five minutes from Stump Pass and the beautiful water and sandbar. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for your gracious review. You were wonderful guests, leaving the house very clean when you left. Your respect for our home was very evident. It is so nice to have guests like you in our home. Would love to rent to you again!
I cannot say enough great things about this property and the host. The home and the property were absolutely perfect...comfortable and we felt at home there. The pool was beautiful and just the right temperature. Even though we were on the "west" coast, we were able to have breakfast each morning on the screen porch and watch the sunrise. At times we were greeted by dolphin, herons and egrets. It was a super peaceful vacation. Paula was always available if anything was needed or I had any questions. She was a joy to work with. We will definitely be returning to this property for a future vacation.

I’m so glad you had a good time. That’s my goal for everyone who stays. Can’t wait to have you back!
Great house that thought of almost everything. It would have been nice to have the pool heated upon arrival as we lost 1-1/2 days of pool time. Also, had to run BACK to store for toilet paper or we would have run out in middle of the night. Listing says Hot Tub, there is no hot tub….unless they are considering the bath tub.
They have sand chairs, toys, zero gravity chairs, cooler, beach towels, & more. Good location close to Publix & 5-8 mins to the beach. Waking distance to a few restaurants. Will be back!

Thank you Jenny for your review. I'm glad you liked the place. I try my hardest to keep it pretty and clean. So sorry about the pool heater issue as the cleaning person was supposed to turn it on before she left but as a courtesy, I didn't charge you the $35.00 per day heating fee that is under property amenities. As far as the spa, we don't have "spa" checked under the amenities description part so not sure why you thought there was a spa. Private pool is the only box checked there. I hope these issues don't deter you in the future. I always try to be fair and make up for mistakes made.
Delightful stay! Home has it all. Views, pool, dock and high end finish.
We loved our stay in Paula’s updated and well maintained home. The expansive views are spectacular. I loved all the screened in outdoor space. The pool is large and well oriented. Beds were comfortable and home is well appointed. Paula went above and beyond to make our stay special with prompt communication and thoughtful recommendations. Our three kids loved fishing off the pier. We rented a boat for the week and found it incredibly easy to park it at the home on the power lift. There is an abundance of nearby beaches and beautiful shoreline to explore. Cooking at home is a breeze as Paula has considered all the supplies you will need. Every day was wonderful. We will be back!

I am so very happy you felt comfortable and supplied. Being new at this, I was a little worried I might have missed something. We would love to have you back!
Convenient to the boat ramp & plenty of parking at the home. I like the proximity to Gasparilla Island. There is a $6 toll but at the tip of the island, I rented a bike and then parked on one of the side streets (free) and went to the beach. It’s about a 20 min drive vs.10 min to the closest beach but it’s a picturesque little town with a lot of history. You can also rent golf carts there. I went to Gasparilla Adventures for my rentals. They were awesome to work with. We ate at Landy’s and it was great. Good food, great service. Publix is super close and Walmart is also close.
The boathouse at the home is exceptional. Used the grill twice and it worked great. Had plenty of beach apparatus including umbrellas.

About the host

Why they chose this property
This home is located on the widest canal in the neighborhood and is only 1 house from the corner. The view is stunning! You are literally about a 5 minute boat road from the pass to the Gulf. You can even kayak there!
What makes this property unique
This home has a wonderful boathouse. It is so convenient to walk out your back door and get in your boat, and not have to hook it up every time you want to go boating and drive down to the park to put it in the water. This is a great benefit for fishermen and fisherwomen and those who just like to cruise the waters.
