Wonderful location!
Six of us stayed at this very nice property as we were attending a nearby wedding. The views across St Joseph Sound were beautiful! Plenty of room to hang out in the large living room or on the back porch overlooking the Sound. The kitchen was nicely equipped, including both a Keurig and a drip coffeemaker. Lots of games, fishing gear, and even a cast net to catch bait! The pool was heated and clean. Our host, Larry, lives on site, but we really never noticed him. There were two occasions when we needed assistance and he responded immediately. Very friendly guy! Publix grocery is one mile away, and Walmart is 8 minutes by car. Plenty of parking in the large driveway. The elevator was a great help to our 89-yr-old mother, and also very handy to get luggage, etc up to the main living area. We highly recommend this property!

Priceless view!
Everything was very clean. Check in/out was super easy. Lots of space to hang out inside and outside… but when you’re there you will want to be outside the whole time! We had breakfast every morning on the upper balcony over looking the water & hung out in and around the pool which also over looks the water. The water view is gorgeous! We even saw 2 dolphins! Definitely recommend this place!

Perfect Family Weekend
We rented this home to gather our family to celebrate our Mom's 80th birthday and it was perfect for guests of all ages. The teens found spots to play board games and lounge together while the adults enjoyed kayaking and relax with the beautiful views. The pool was perfect for all. The kitchen was well-appointed even for a party. And there were plenty of pillows and blankets, comfortable beds and extra areas to lounge both inside and outside. Larry was the host with the most, with easy communication and check-in/out. We all hated for our time to end and look forward to booking this home again.

Fun seaside stay!
The place was awesome overall! My family had a great time swimming, fishing, and even getting to see dolphins swim right up to the seawall a couple times. The sunsets were also amazing each night. Some things around the house show their age and heavy usage, but the location more than made up for that for us.

Massive dissapointment
Property was not fit for purpose. 1 of the 4 bedrooms were unusable mould and damp on the walls. Mould dog and cat pee smells all over the house. Bedding didnt look laundered.one of the patio doors was brken and taped shut , decking are and hand rails were a massive safety issue. Screws sticking up from decking area, hand rails loose and unsafe. No patio furniture charis/ table down under decking area as in photos on VRBO, Patio table broken and supported with cable grips. Washing mashine was broken and shower was leaking. Host agreed bedroom was unusable and offered us 25% refund, this was not acceptable as our party required 4 bedrooms and I was not prepared to sleep in the lounge.I requested a full refund which I am still seeking and will take up on my return to UK

Nothing good here except the view
First off I want to make sure you know that the owner lives in a portion of the home. We missed that in the add. We had had 9 people and 4 cars but had to leave room in the driveway for the owners vehicle. He has 2 German shepherd dogs and they barked at us anytime they were outside. The kitchen was poorly equipped. The doors on the inside did not lock. The deck and rails are in very bad condition and need to be replaced. They are a hazard. The electrical outlets in the bathrooms have been covered by the countertop and you can’t plug in a large plug like a blow dryer. The views from the home are amazing but the house has a lot of issues for almost $5,000 for a week.

My family had a fabulous time staying at this home. I can't rave enough about Larry and how kind and accommodating he was for us! He was always available when we needed to ask questions. The house had tons of room for all of us. My kids (12 & 13) lived in the pool almost the entire time. The view is so spectacular! I loved sitting on the deck every morning, drinking my coffee and watching the dolphins and birds pass by. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely come back and stay again!

Beautiful Views and Great Location
Loved the property! The views were amazing! The location was great! While at the house we felt totally removed from the hustle and bustle of a city, many things were very close by. 10 mins away grocery stores, large department stores good local restuarants. Also within 15 mins were great breaches (Honeymoon Island State Park) and great deep sea fishing in Tarpon Springs. We saw dolphins within10 feet of the dock most days! Larry was awesome. He was very responsive to any communications. Extremely professional. Would definitely be interested in returning for another vacation!

First, Larry is the best. He is super accommodating and so friendly. His home is beautiful. The view from the super large porch is amazing. The pool was wonderful and you can’t beat the view from the pool either! We saw several dolphins swim by, enjoyed fishing off the dock and it’s a super quick shot to honeymoon island. You won’t be disappointed if you rent this dream home. The elevator was also super convenient for unloading the car. Thanks again Larry! We had an awesome vacation!!!

We wanted to have a very played back, do whatever we pleased girl's week. We got that, plus so much more. Absolutely the best views of nature at it's finest at low tide....water is crystal clear. At high tide, dolphins were seen chasing a school of fish very close to the peer. Very impressive to 2 city girls!!! The houses could used some updating, especially the wooden deck and pool surround, but we were barefooted 99% of the time and had no problems. Little kids running around might experience some splinters. Everything we wanted/needed was in the houses. The houses was clean and bug free. Larry was a sweetie to work with!! We are glad we chose this house for your weekend!!
