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

Amazing Vacay
Beautiful home, décor definitely could use updating! We enjoyed the views and pool very much. We also went out to the Dunedin Causeway and Honeymoon Island that was amazing all on its own! We also visited the Thirsty Marlin for dinner, A++. Great location! Quite neighborhood. Owner and Dogs where on site in attached apartment. Definitely worth the money! All of our family loved it!

Great Family Vacation
The house was big enough for the whole family and had everything we needed. Its in a great location from beaches to restaurants. Great views of the sunsets. Host was very easy to work with. The only thing we had issues with was the deck (recommend wearing shoes). We do understand it is in the process of being fixed. Great overall stay!

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.

Perfect Family Vacation
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!

Absolutely stunning home and view
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!!!

Peace and quite
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!!

Our 2 families had a great relaxing time on the house, enjoying the water views, sunsets and all the other amenities that the house comes with (large common area, pool, kayaks, row boat, fishing gear, view, wild life - saw dolphins and beautiful birds). Honeymoon island is so close and was our favorite beach to go to!
