We had a great time staying Tarpon Springs. The house is advertised and pictures are very accurate. The home has everything you and your family will need for your stay. Owners are great excellent communication. One thing to note, the house is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood and is surrounded on three side by neighbors.
Tipsea Tarpon was the perfect rental for our family of 10. Plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved the pool and putting green. Tarpon Springs is located in a wonderful area for exploring many beautiful beaches as well as quick trips into Tampa. The Hosts were very responsive to our questions and requests. We will consider returning to the area in the future.
Loved the home and pool. The pictures do need updated - as the back yard is screened in now! We originally booked because we didn’t want the pool screened! Our bed broke the first night, but it was sleepable and comfortable. Location is perfect, and house very well maintained and in working order :)
Wonderful house with a beautiful pool that made an excellent vacation for our family! So many memories made!! Property management was extremely responsive and helpful!! I would highly recommend this place for all especially if looking for a peaceful vacation off the beaten touristy path.
House was wonderful! Plenty of space for everyone and well stocked. Owners thought of everything to make the stay easy and comfortable. Communication was excellent!
We had a great stay at this house. The pool and outdoor area is great and the house is the perfect size for a large family. We had a few things pop up but the host fully addressed our concerns as quickly as possible. Couldn’t ask for anything less in a rental. Recommend.
Excellent, quiet, residential location within walking distance (<1.0 mile) of Sunset Beach. Comfortable beds. Well equipped. Tim responded to all messages within minutes.

Lovely property
All great with the house and wider facilities. Wi-Fi vet slow but that would be the only small issue. Location is quite a distance from Clearwater so bear in mind. We misread the listing and assumed that 3 of the bedrooms had their own shower. One en suite. 1 main bathroom and 1 downstairs toilet. Would recommend staying here.

Thank you for being great guests and your welcome back anytime.
This house was perfect for our family vacation! It was spacious and clean with comfy beds. We were glad to have the extra amenities such as the beach chairs and toys, games, kids life jackets, and plenty of towels! We had to contact the host with a question about the pool and they were very responsive and helpful. Great location and highly recommend for a family stay!
