An enjoyable 4 week stay.

The property was exactly what it said and showed on the website. Communications with the owner were excellent with no reply delays. Everything that we could want was provided in Tammy's well kept home. Our only concern was the lack of privacy on the lanai, deck and pool as there was no screening to the property on the left.

Summer Vacation in Apollo Beach

This was our 2nd stay at this property. It was as perfect this time as it was the first time. The family enjoyed the accommodations (especially the pool and view). I would highly recommend this property!! We’ll be back for a 3rd visit in 2025.

Great location

We rented this property to use as a base for house hunting. It was perfect. There were several developments around the area with some great homes. After a day of house hunting, the pool was a wonderful retreat. This house is a very comfortable and relaxing place.

Great location & House

We had a great stay at Tammy's house. Situated in a nice quiet location and the pool area and view from the back is amazing. Neighbours are very friendly and nice walk to a few bar/restaurants. Ideally located as we wanted just outside Tampa and near the beaches and this suited well as about 1hr from both. House was spacious and clean, and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend, if you are thinking of staying here.

Family Vacation

This waterfront home offered everything we wanted in a vacation home. We kayaked, swam, enjoyed the breeze on the dock and the peace and quiet. The home was stocked with anything we needed: kitchen supplies, towels…even helpful neighbors! We hope to have the opportunity to visit again.

Making Memories

What a great place to stay, we had 3 generations together for the week under one roof watching dolphins from the dock, catching fish, kayaking, swimming in the pool, playing board games from the closet. Also lets not forget the neighbors, great welcoming people. We will be back.

We had a great time floating in the beautiful pool and fishing on the dock. The house is so comfortable and uniquely decorated. It is so well stocked with odds and ends in case you happen to forget anything and it makes you feel at home. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation, this is the spot!!

Amazing communication with Tammy thoughout the whole experience of booking, pre and during our stay. The location was exactly where we needed it to be and the house was the perfect size for our family. Only slight difference was the detail stated hot tub, which wasnt working.

Great family rental!

This house is perfect for a large family! Kitchen is very well stocked with pots/pans, utensils, dishes. Location is great, 5 minutes from grocery store and restaurants. Really enjoyed the view and fishing off of the dock. Tammy, the owner, is very nice, always responded very quickly. Had a great family reunion at the house!

Lovely villa

Had a great time in this lovely villa that had everything you needed and loved all the Halloween decorations, the only thing i was a wee bit disappointed with is we didn't get in the lovely pool as it was cold. Spent alot of time fishing at the dock and enjoying the sun which was great.

Wonderful vacation

The house was great for my family’s vacation. Had everything we needed and it was easy to contact tammy. Only “complaint” and I really can’t call it a complaint is not having tvs in all bedrooms, this is just a personal preference but definitely not a deal breaker! I would recommend this house for everyone!

Beautiful house in a stunning location. Ideally situated for St Pete’s and gulf coast beaches. The house has everything you need for your vacation. Thank you for the use of the kayaks. It was very relaxing out on the calm water. Tammy is a wonderful host and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Lovely, friendly neighbours too.
