We enjoy everything about this property. Within walking distance to so many activities, shopping, resturants and a few blocks to the lovely bayou to watch the manatees. Short drive to the beach. Quiet neighborhood and great fenced yard for our dogs with gas grill and patio furniture. Well maintained and stocked home with an office nook perfect for work. Responsive and helpful host for any questions although we really didn't need anything as they do such a great job in preparation of a stay. We are repeat guests and are planning another stay.
Enjoyed our stay in Tarpon Springs. The house was close walking distance to important amenities - park, eateries, shopping- for our party that included a dog. The house was spacious, well appointed with all the necessary things, and spacious for our family. The host was communicative and helpful in sharing all the necessary details for our stay. Would totally recommend staying here!
We were very comfortable and loved the location. We spent a lot of time enjoying the backyard.
