Beautiful, Comfortable, and Convenient

Where do I begin? Our family loved this home! My son caught a 5lb fish on the dock, all of my children loved kayaking in the mornings and evenings and catching crabs in the water. The home was cozy and close to everything in Tarpon Springs. We LOVED watching the sunset on the water every night. The 10 of use were very comfortable and would gladly stay again.

Family Vacation Done Right!

This property is simply amazing - perfect for a family vacation on the water. We almost felt more like locals than tourists. I can't say enough about how nice this house it - true classic Florida architecture with million dollar sunsets every evening! Leah is an amazing host who worked extra hard to help ensure our trip was possible in the aftermath of both Helene and Milton - this was an important family trip to visit grandparents that turned into a mini relief trip with us bringing supplies down. This trip could not have happened without this amazing host. I highly recommend kayaking right there out of the backyard. The kitchen dining area is perfect for family game night. We all fell in love with Tarpon Springs - I would 100% stay in this property again!!!!

Beautiful views

The house is right on the Gulf with beautiful views and wildlife. Very close to sponge docks etc. It is very roomy and very well equipped. The property manager is excellent with communication. If we are in the area again, we would stay there.

Just perfect for us!!

This property was exactly what was advertised! We really enjoyed our stay. Found ourselves wanting to just relax and enjoy staying put. We had everything we needed right on the property! If our son continues to live in the area, we will definitely rent this home again!!

Relaxing waterfront home

Great place for small families with kids, who want to get away from the bustle and enjoy fishing, kayaking or just sitting on the dock. Home is older and the upstairs is all loft (which was a plus for our kids) but is clean and well cared for. May was a great time to go, not too hot or cold.

House on the Gulf

We spent a month at this house and loved it. The house looks right out to the Gulf and has its own dock. Kayaks and fishing rods are provided as well. The house has all the amenities so your comfort is assured. Lots to do in the surrounding area from Greek restaurants in Tarpon Springs to parks just up the street. Lots of places to fish as well. We will definitely rent again. Leah was very responsive prior to our arrival as well as while we were there.

Wonderful Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in March of 2017. The owner Leah was very accommodating throughout the booking process. She went out of her way to answer any questions we had and to make sure we were comfortable once we arrived and replied to any request promptly. The house and grounds are just beautiful and in a perfect location. It is on a quiet street and close to everything. We hoped to take advantage of all the water activities, but mother nature wasn't cooperative the week we stayed, but otherwise everything was great. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Charming with an amazing sunset!

The house is in a great central location with great beaches just down the road as well as restaurants & the sponge docks. Clear Water Beach is a 30-40 minute drive. The house it self is well appointed it is a older home but is kept in good condition & is well loved by its owner with warm & thoughtful touches (a large wicker baskets with beach towels, plenty of kitchen towels, throw blankets on the sofas) to name a few. The lovely back yard that over looks the water is wonderful & the dock is just the place to watch the sunset. Leah was most helpful & made us feel very welcome with information on local restaurants, things to do, boat rentals, etc... If you are not aware as I was not, Tarpon Springs has a lot of Greek influence & there is wonderful Greek restaurants & bakeries. Our family (the 7 of us) look forward to returning!

Million Dollar Views. Super comfortable and clean

We stayed here Jan 15-18, 2016. As soon as you walk in the front door you're met with spectacular waterfront views. Large open living room overlooks the backyard and Gulf of Mexico. Kayaks and stand-up paddle board available. Kitchen and bedrooms also have beautiful views. This home was spacious,super clean and very comfortable. Feels like home pretty quickly. Plenty of space for adults and children to enjoy separate areas of the home. Located in a nice residential area. Easy access to grocery stores,shopping and the quaint downtown Tarpon Springs area. We travel often... I would highly recommend staying here. We'll be coming back!
