David, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and felt welcomed.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Great place and location! Well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the heated pool and the dock for fishing. Would definitely stay here again when we are back in the area. Peaceful and quiet, but close to shopping options for groceries and anything else you may need.

Pool needs updating a bit feet get very dirty walking on the blocks - there was also a couple of cigarette butts around the pool and we found a strawberry and a few other items on the bottom of the pool - One of the sunbeds was quite well worn and maybe should of been thrown away -The house was lovely and comfortable and very clean -We didn’t like seeing lots of anti VRBo signs in peoples properties it made us feel a little uncomfortable-We was lucky to see dolphins swim past - Apollo Beach is lovely area close to Tampa Orlando and St Pete’s

Thank you, Liza, for your kind words about the house and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the area and seeing dolphins!
We appreciate your note about the pool — cleanliness will be addressed. Regarding the signage, unfortunately that’s beyond our control, but we hope it didn’t take away from your stay.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back to Apollo Beach in the future!
The property and location are excellent for visiting various activities around the Tampa/Sarasota/Clearwater area. Plenty of room for people to relax and the house amenities are comprehensive of what you would need while there.

Great house for a family vacation! The pool and patio area are perfect for spending all day outside. The house was very clean. The dock was great for fishing and we even saw some manatees swimming through.

Kim, thank you very much for your review. We appreciate your kind words, and are thrilled to hear that you loved the house, its peaceful location and all amenities.
The property was perfect for our family getaway- 4 adults and 4 kids ages 1-7. We loved pool, kayaks, and fishing off the dock. We saw dolphins swimming by on more than one occasion while eating our meals outside. Sean was incredibly responsive if we had any questions, and he even contacted us about being able to arrange an earlier check-in time, which was amazing! I'd highly recommend this property.
Our vacation started with a couple of major glitches with the accommodations but Sean, the property manager took care of them quickly and completely. The house is very clean and orderly. The setting on the canal is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The outdoor space is fantastic with a large hardscaped covered area with seating and a large dining table. We spent a lot of time in the heated pool and hot tub. There are many extra thoughtful touches and items around the house that add to the enjoyment of the week. The Apollo Beach area has some pretty beaches and nice restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
We booked a 5 night stay and could not have been happier with our choice. Sean was very helpful and responsive. He was there to greet us and make sure all of our needs were met. The lanai/pool area was super nice and we spent most of our days there enjoying the beautiful scenery and pool/spa. We were able to fish right off the dock and there was a small beach close by. The house was very welcoming and had all of the essentials needed to prep meals, enjoy games on the Lanai and nice dinners at a large table as well while looking at the views.
We will definitely be booking again in the near future!
