We had an amazing stay! The host was wonderful, communication was 10/10, and response times were always incredibly quick. The property was even better than I imagined, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Being within walking distance of downtown made everything so convenient. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

I must say that this home captivated us in every way, very centrally located and right from when you walk in it has such great energies besides the fact that is decorated so beautifully, the kitchen is very nice equipped we do alot of cooking so this was greatttt, our teens had their own place in the guest house it was an overall awesome experience.

What a beautiful house and neighborhood! There were only the two of us, so we had plenty of space. The pool was awesome, Bikes and a golf cart are available as well as a pool table. The location was centralized and near everything to explore in Tarpon Springs. The AC worked great during the September heat and we now want to buy a new bed for our house because the king sized bed was sooo comfortable. We will definitely be returning within the year for another stay! Keep up the great work and don't change a thing.Thanks, Sandra and Russ

This house has been beautifully redone and kept the older charm! I can't say about good things about the unique decorations and special treats to make it so comfortable and homely. The jacuzzi was the biggest we've ever seen! The bikes were such a nice added touch and my husband and kids loved riding around town on them. The yard is truly an oasis where you feel completely private away from it all, even though you're right off the main sponge docks. Brian was a delight to work with! And this home is close to everything and immaculately clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Tarpon Springs and couldn’t have asked for a better location! The home was very kid friendly for our 3 and 1 year olds. We walked to the sponge docks for shopping and dinner, it’s a short walk with safe sidewalks. The property and home are well equipped with everything we needed and more, highly recommend!
