The house was spacious and well equipt. The Property Manager was very responsive. The water temperature in the pool was too cold for comfort. The owner waived and unexpected daily fee to run the heat pump but the heat pump was less than effective in maintaining an acceptable temperature. If the owner addresses that problem the property would get very high marks.

Thank you for your review. I’m glad to hear you found the home spacious, well-equipped, and that the property manager was very responsive during your stay.
I appreciate your feedback regarding the pool temperature. During the winter months here in Florida, cooler nighttime temperatures can significantly impact the effectiveness of heat pumps, as they rely on ambient air temperature. When nights are colder, the system may run continuously but still struggle to maintain higher water temperatures.
We did have the pool service company out several times to inspect the system during your stay, and they confirmed that the heat pump was operating properly and that there were no issues with the equipment.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us.

We came from Wisconsin for my son’s spring break, particularly for the heated pool. It was definitely NOT heated, which was incredibly disappointing. The property management company was essentially non-responsive. I will say that VRBO’s customer support about our issue was wonderful, but sadly our issue was never resolved. It’s too bad because otherwise the house was perfect!

We’re pleased you enjoyed the home, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. We’d like to clarify a few points regarding the pool heating:
-A few days into your stay, you contacted the guest contact about pool heating and were informed that payment must be made through Evolve before activation. Once confirmed, the heat was promptly turned on and set to the maximum of 85°F, as stated in our listing. Pool heating is not immediate and can take up to 24 hours or longer during cooler nights to reach the desired temperature
-We understand you contacted Vrbo; however, neither the guest contact nor Evolve received any follow-up communication about the pool temperature. We take guest experience seriously, respond promptly to all communication, and encourage guests to reach out directly to Evolve or the guest contact so we can address concerns as quickly as possible to help ensure the best experience
Thank you for your feedback as we continue working to improve the guest experience
My sister and I took pur mom here for mothers day weekend. It was perfect,we barely left the house because we enjoyed the pool and found the home quite comfortable.

Wonderful Accomodations
My two-week vacation through Evolve, was wonderful. The location is great, and the home is lovely, spacious and very well appointed. The large rooms were wonderful, large bedrooms and kitchen which was well stocked and very enjoyable to cook in. The town, while not near a beach, has lots of good restaurants and plenty of grocery stores and speciality food markets. We greatly enjoyed visiting the local restaurants. There are some very good ones very close by. The pool and lanai are exceptional. The whole home, including the lanai and pool, were sparkling clean and very comfortable. Super comfortable beds. The check in and out was easy and quick, and the staff were very quick in responding to questions I had and really going out of their way to accomodate me and things I asked for. I would definitely rent this location again. The only suggestion I have would be to add some grab bars in the shower. I had a 92-year old aunt with me and while everything else was wonderfully suited for older folks, that was the only thing that would have helped. Otherwise, everything was excellent.

Hello, Yvonne. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear how much you and your family enjoyed your stay and especially great to know our team could make your stay smooth and accommodating.
We do want to clarify one point should you ever travel to the area again. While the town may not feel like a traditional beachfront destination, it actually sits right along the beautiful Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. There’s also a lovely local beach, Apollo Beach Preserve, just a quick 5-minute drive away which is a peaceful spot to enjoy the water and stunning sunsets.
We also truly appreciate your suggestion about adding grab bars in the shower. That’s very helpful feedback, especially for guests traveling with older family members, and we’ll definitely take it into consideration as we continue to improve the home.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
It is comfortable and well equipped for a family to stay. Short drive to Apollo Beach and nearby restaurants. I didn't like the automatic fresheners that dispense too much vanilla fragrance but other than that, it had everything I wanted.

From the owner: "Hello Laura, thank you for your rating and for bringing to our attention the strong smell of the vanilla freshener. We have reduced the frequency of the spray so it doesn't become overwhelming. We hope you choose to stay with us again!"
A place to relax and watch birds, a clean house, plenty of space for everyone, a heated swimming pool is a big plus, a well-stocked kitchen, a washing machine and a dryer, useful for washing towels, maybe I'll see you next year

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Palm. The house was very clean, kitchen had all necessary items. My girls said it was the most comfortable bed they ever slept in and looked to buy the pillows for their beds at home. The pool was very refreshing and the pool temperature was perfect even on the chilly days. Would come back to stay again if back in the area. Thank you!

From the Owner: "Hello Bridget. Thank you for choosing our home for your mother and daughter's spring break getaway. Apollo Beach and the Tampa Bay area are great places to spend a family vacation. We hope you had a memorable trip with your daughter! Hope you visit us again!"
Great location and clean home. Great property manager and owner. Minor issues with the home (such as a broken pool skimmer) but issue when brought to their attention was quickly addressed by owner/property manager. Would recommend the property to others.
We had an amazing experience. The property manager is exceptional and very kind. Would definitely stay again. Quiet neighborhood with grocery and restaurants just minutes away. The sunsets were perfect for 6 days straight. Very private back yard with a pool to rave about. Key to the pool was it is heated unlike many other homes. High end appliances and grill on-site were an added bonus !

A great find
We had an awesome time at this residence and experienced zero issues with entry. The host was kind enough to leave a guide on the house and surrounding areas which answered all our questions. The pool was a nice refresher on the hot days and my parents loved the Lanai. There is an old golf course trail behind the house that was fun to walk as well. Thank you for hosting!

Excellent place ! It was perfect for us .The only thing I would add are some regular chairs around the pool as opposed to loungers which are very low to get into or even sit on as well as a few drink tables for chairs / loungers .Check the propane as soon as you arrive. We went to bbq one night and the tank was already empty .Other than those two small items the place was perfect for us ( in a nice area as well)
