Never Disappointed

We have stayed at Joe’s place multiple times now and it is one of our favorite spots. It is always clean and welcoming, my wife loves that it overlooks the strawberry field and is very peaceful. For anyone looking for a nice and clean place with a friendly and responsive host look no further…just don’t book on our days off 😋

Strawberry Field Stilt House

The cleanest vacation rental that we have ever stayed at. Joe is a remarkable host. Provides for every need. The house setting is unique in that it is surrounded by strawberry fields and just far enough away from the Tampa congestion. We will most definitely be booking this gem again when we pass through this area. Thank you Joe for your excellent hospitality and sharing your stilt home.

Absolutely wonderful!!!!!

I loved the location, and it was far enough away from the road. The restaurants and stores were just 10 minutes away. My dogs and I had a great time there especially on the balcony in the evenings. The place was bigger than expected, and the kitchen was actually stocked with spices and seasonings. (I left a couple of my favorites) and some condiments in the frige. The place looked like it was built yesterday and was very clean. I even swept and mopped before I left. You may lose internet in the rain, but the TV will take a "wireless display" from your phone if you need it. I met Joe, and he's a great easy going guy. I would DEFINITELY stay there again!!!!!!

Great place, just do not use the water!

Peaceful property. Clean other than a few dead bugs in the sink and on the window sills, but then it is the country so that is to be expected. Great location and very nice small home. But one huge ongoing issue that others mention as well. The stench from the water! It's bad. Very bad. I suffered through my daily rotten egg sulfer smelling shower. My guest could not and she chose to not shower the 3 days we were here. This really needs to be fixed, as prior reviews point out as well. This is how a 5 star experience becomes a 2 star. reviews point out.

Impeccable

For some coming to the Tampa area may mean staying in the hustle and bustle of downtown or the wild side at the beach but we were looking for serenity so chose this charming bungalow on stilts. It sits aside a large expanse of strawberry fields and even though the strawberries are out of season the fields were abloom with sun hemp as far as the eye could see. The garden surrounding the cottage was a beautiful tropical oasis and the various outdoor seating areas charming. It’s tucked away amongst the trees and plantings, truly secluded. The inside was exceptionally clean ( and I mean exceptional, kudos to whomever does the housekeeping!) and thoughtfully appointed. There were extra blankets, towels and bed linens. The king size bed (which is a must have for us!) was particularly comfortable as well as the memory foam pillows. The linens were soft and pill free thank God! Everything you’d need is in the kitchen, cooking utensils, dishes and spices as well! Check in and out was seamless. Only items in the cons list was internet speed, fine for streaming but could be an issue if you’re needing to work while staying. Also, there’s well water with its distinct sulphur odor. We’re Florida natives so we’re somewhat accustomed but thought it was worth a mention. Overall the stay still rated a 10/10 and was absolutely darling in every way and so very peaceful!

Peaceful

I was just in the area to visit my boyfriend for a short 2 night stay and was blown away with this property. It was peaceful, quiet and romantic. It was remote enough for privacy but not so remote that I had trouble getting anything delivered. I would definitely like to stay here again as soon as possible!! Everytime I stay in PC, I fall more and more in love.

The home was just as pictured, and extremely clean. The owner also left a few water bottles in the fridge, and a boxed bar of soap in the bathroom for me, which I felt was such a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable, and so were the pillows!

Perfect place to unwind

Stayed here to do some R&R from a stressful job and relax before meeting with friends I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic. Joe’s place was perfect! Exceptionally clean, well appointed and in a great location to just get away yet be close enough to get anything needed. The strawberries were being picked the morning I departed and it was amazing how fast the crews work! It shows that Joe cares about his property and visitors. Great communications and just a great experience. Highly recommend the Strawberry Stilt House.
