Bayshore bayou paradise!
The owners were great! They were responsive and have an amazing home that we were allowed to enjoy! The home was excellent for our family. We rode bikes to Fred Howard, to the bayou and saw so many manatee, experienced epiphany celebration of the Greek community and loved all the restaurants. However our fav was the backyard paradise!! It was so peaceful sitting in the sun, enjoying the hot tub and sitting on the dock. We enjoyed use of the kayaks too! We saw dolphin so close to the dock! The kids used the pool but not warm enough for me but my preferred temp is like bath water 😂! Thanks again for sharing your home with us!!

Christmas Holiday
The property is exactly as it listed, but additionally, the house is well stocked with everything you need. The kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment and was stocked with dry goods and spices. There were plenty of pool/beach towels. There are two Kayaks and a Canoe which you can use by walking out on the attached dock. There are several several great restaurants and a grocery store a very short drive. (5Min) The Fred Howard Park beach is an easy 5 min drive. The hosts were very responsive to all our questions and were very accommodative to our changing travel plans due to weather issues when we left our home in the north!!

Quiet retreat
We enjoyed the quiet area, hanging out on the dock, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. We saw dolphins several times and a stingray. The house was well stocked and clean, it’s been recently updated. Master and second bedrooms are comfortable. Check in was easy. Downsides of the stay: lots of driving if you want to get to a location, pool isn’t heated as advertised in the listing and hot tub also wasn’t heated due to a mechanical issue that wasn’t remedied during our 7-day stay. This was very disappointing as the heated pool and hot tub were major amenities as to why we booked here. We requested 10% reimbursement but owner wasn’t having it so we had to escalate to VRBO and we received our request. The third bedroom isn’t really much of a bedroom.

Off the beaten path vacation
The property and location were exactly what we were looking for! The owners were attentive to any questions we had and gave great recommendations for the week’s stay. The area was not as touristy as other locations nearby; however, great experiences surrounded you within an hour’s drive. It was nice to relax in the pool or throw out your fishing lines after a long day visiting the area. Would definitely consider renting the same place in return trips to tarpon springs!

Tarpon Springs Gem
We had a wonderful vacation in Tarpon Springs. The home has everything you need for relaxing; we especially loved the outdoor area, with the pool, hot tub, and dock for fishing! Downtown Tarpon Springs and the Sponge Docks are just a short drive for shopping and dining. We had wonderful meals at Rusty Bellies, Dimitri’s, Hella’s Bakery, Currents and H’ours. We took a short drive to Dunedin and had a delicious brunch on the terrace at The Wild Iris Cafe. We spent most of our time lounging by the pool and fishing off of the private dock. The home is fully stocked with everything you need! I love staying in a home like this where the owner has thought of everything to make your stay more enjoyable..plenty of garbage bags, dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, pool towels and a wireless speaker for music by the pool. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable! We loved the giant master suite overlooking the pool and bayou. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this property! If you are planning a trip to Tarpon Springs book this home and you will not be disappointed.
