Beach Vibe

We really enjoyed outstay at this home with the beach vibes. This furniture, beds, mattresses, linens and cabinetry all new and not cheap versions. The screened in pool was a fun plus, even just to sit on the steps. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it is a great place for family or friends.

Review of our stay

We found several items that made our stay less enjoyable. A detailed list has been forwarded to the owner that, if corrected, could make this a 5 star house to rent.

One week February 19th-February 26th everything went well

There were seven of us, five adults and two children, scrabble was the game of choice. My wife liked al the signage in the house. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms made it very comfortable, we had no issues whatsoever and would wholeheartedly recommend this house for anyone staying in the Apollo Beach or Ruskin area. Everything from Tampa to St Petersburg is an easy trip. The house was very clean.

Sister week

The house was absolutely the cleanest…..only recommendation would be toilet paper holders in the bathrooms, bedside tables and lamps. All lights in all rooms were overhead only with fans. Being such a clean environment trumped all. Thank you.

Tampa Trip

My stay wasn’t bad it started off a little rough with cleaning supplies still left out from the cleaning crew and lots of dead bugs on the window ledge and the floor and the bathroom tub wasn’t clean as well but once we cleaned it up and got settled in we had a great time over all… the pool can use some chlorine to it so ppl can feel comfortable knowing it’s clean and also a few hot spots is all 30+ minutes away but over all the house turned out nice and my guest that came with me enjoyed their self’s as well. Thank you for allow us to stay in your home.

Fun wedding anniversary celebration with Fam

Had a wonderfully time with children and grand children swimming, grilling fishing and playing games. We order out for dier delivery for dinner, went out for ice cream. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Spent all day Saturday grilling and swimming. The grands did some fishing in the canal. Perfect place to relax. Easy access to the beach in st pete, clearwater and sarasota. Tampa only 30 minutes away. Easy to get to disney and other popular florida atractions.

The house itself is very nice. The neighborhood is run down but we had no problems and the neighbors were friendly. The property management company is not easy to deal with and they are rude. We had 10 people registered for 5 days. The property management left 1 roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. When we ran low I contacted them to ask for more. They told me to buy more if it would make my stay more comfortable. The pool was not cleaned or treated the entire time we were there. By the end of our stay we were not able to swim in it as it was green. The outdoor area by the pool is awesome! They need to have a few more chairs but we did have a large group. There are only 5 chairs at the kitchen table so eating a meal together was difficult.

Loved it

This house was amazing and very beautiful. Maria and Raul made sure to think of their guests and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Their welcome binder that they provided for us gave us so much information on what’s in the area and what attractions to go visit. They even have a little pool for the kids! Also, a free coffee bar for people to drink coffee every morning. I would absolutely stay here again.

This one is a winner!

I booked this house for three of my children and their spouses. The house is beautifully furnished exactly as shown, with plenty of eating and relaxing space. The pool was clean and the screened in area included chairs and/or loungers for everyone.
