Our stay was awesome. Very clean and comfortable. Close to Downtown Tarpon Springs with an awesome park near to walk our dog. This was our first time using a Verbo home and will definitely use Verbo again.

Amazing stay

This is an amazing property situated on the beautiful bayou. We loved everything about our stay and I was lucky enough to see a manatee from the dock. Excellent communication. I’d love to return and thoroughly recommend this property.

Great location

Such a cute little house. Very comfortable with everything you might need. Easy walk to the docks as well as a park. We were a little concerned about the shared driveway and the connected studio next door but it was not an issue at all - very quiet. We will definitely stay again!

Fabulous waterfront spot with dock

Maxwell House is a wonderful, comfortable place to stay in Tarpon Springs. The living room, dining area and kitchen are spacious with a lovely view of water. Sitting areas outside to enjoy on dock or back deck. Didn’t hear people in attached rental but did have a brief chat. The two rentals are completely separate. Would highly recommend and hope to return.

A long weekend Tarpon Springs

Enjoyed the property on the water as we docked our boat there. Not enough parking for vehicle and trailer. We thought the additional studio rental would be a separate building but we could hear the other guests in their bathroom every day and the door to seperate the two rentals was inside the home directly. Although secured with a deadbolt I did not like having strangers that close. But for cleanliness, sleeping, and home with water access all was great. Would stay again if I rented both sections of the house.

Modern, clean and a great getaway home for a vacation

It was a wonderful experience staying at this modern and well maintained home. The main living area is well laid out with a beautiful view of the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation, the outdoor area, especially the deck with access to the bay was great for paddle boarding. The house had everything we could have needed. It was very close to the dock/greek area as well as downtown. The owner was very responsive and I would highly recommend staying here.

The house was perfect for our family, with a 4yo and 6yo. It had everything we needed… my 6yo loved fishing off the dock in the back.

Perfect for our family

We absolutely loved staying at this home… hoping to make it our Tarpon Springs home for each break, since we visit grandparents there. My 6yo son loved fishing off the dock (he caught a catfish on our first night)! We loved being able to walk into town, and the short drive to Howard Beach. The house was well stocked - we didn’t need anything! And it was easy to host family dinners with grandparents over.

10/10 recommend!

We booked this place to stay while visiting friends in the area. Not only were the beds comfortable, but the property is beautiful! The water is lovely to wake up to each day, and we even saw dolphins during our stay. We loved spending our evenings out on the dock and back deck. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's the perfect spot to unwind and relax. I'll definitely be booking again.

Visiting family

The location of the property was convenient, being in close proximity to the sponge docks and the town center. However, the area was notably congested. The house itself was pleasant but required some maintenance. The sheets had an unpleasant odor, and the floors were quite dirty. Additionally, the studio setup was less than ideal, as noise from other guests was easily audible. In summary, while the location was advantageous, the overall experience was impacted by these issues.

Lovely Stay

We spent 4 days here. Loved having morning coffee on the dock! The nearby park around the lake was a lovely walk. We were able to walk to dinner at Rusty Bellies, a wonderful restaurant with water views. The beach is just a short drive away and the pastries downtown are not to be missed!

Very comfortable home with great views of the water

We totally enjoyed our stay in Tarpon Springs. The house was very quiet and comfortable for my husband and I. We especially enjoyed spending time outside on the dock looking at the water and seeing the fish jump. What a great central location to the sponge docks, restaurants, beaches, and downtown. Great communication with the host and plenty of amenities available. This is the best place to stay in Tarpon hands down!
