Spent a week at this wonderful house during the 4th of July 🇺🇸 and me and my family had an absolutely wonderful time!
Me and my wife have 5 kiddos and the pool was excellent as well as the house itself.
Highly recommended and a big Texas thank you to the leasing staff and owners!
Well done y’all!
Enjoyed my family vacation at this peaceful home. No maintenance issues. Great communication with property management. No issues with check in details or check out details. Our family enjoyed the pool area, and quiet neighborhood. Just a few minutes walk to the beach.
We enjoyed staying at your home the pool was great,the neighborhood was quite,,the only issue we had was their was ants in the kitchen,the front bathroom and the living room, and for some reason the dryer was unplugged and there was not a ironing board ,other than the little things we had a great time.Thank you for letting us stay at your property,we really did appreciate it,and God bless 👌🏾🙏🏽
House is fantastic, has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Apollo Beach itself is a good spot for access to Tampa & St Pete (45 mins to 1hr). The house is in easy walking distance to some nice dining options too. If I were to be picky I would say the master bed needs addressing, we could not sleep in it after two nights trying, it's far too soft in my opinion. Fridge door handle fell off after a couple of days, gave notice to management company but was still not resolved after our two weeks stay. Not really an issue as an adult could open it from above, our 9yr old could not open it so was a little annoying to have to open each time he wanted a drink. Otherwise all good and would happily recommend the house and the area.

For a family of 6 adults, this house was just right. Comfortable bedrooms,2.5 bathrooms. I slept on the covered pool deck and it was just wonderful! Could use basic paper supplies
The home was very nice! We stayed with our two children, with our other family staying nearby. Great open concept for entertaining! Kitchen is pretty well stocked with cookware, serving dishes, and utensils for cooking. Pool area is awesome! Our kids enjoyed the provided pool toys.
The house was beautiful and despite Hurricane Nicole was everything we could want in a vacation rent
The management was very responsive to our needs and unfortunately we had a minor mishap that resulted in a broken toilet bowl which we carried insurance the management was first concerned about our Daughter safety and responded to this in a very concerned and effective manner. The house was great and we enjoyed our stay immensely and will recommend it to anyone and will stay there again if we go back to Tampa
Very nice property in a great location. Close to Tampa, but tucked in to a quiet neighborhood with several local restaurants. The pool at the house was a perfect way to start and end busy days. There were even a couple of days that we didn't leave the house and just hung out and enjoyed the pool all day. Very relaxing vacation! Thank you!
