Very clean & beautiful home! It was perfect for my family of 6! My husband and kids loved fishing off the deck while I watched from the pool. The house had so many things stocked especially in the kitchen! House is close to stores and shops but also about a 30 minute- hour drive for the busier areas but we loved the small town feel. Host made communicating so easy and recommended things to do in the area. Overall a GREAT experience and will definitely be back on our next trip to Florida!!

Wonderful stay in Apollo Beach
This was one of the houses our family rented in Apollo Beach for our first family reunion. We gathered from different parts of Florida, Boston, N.Y. - one travelling from Alaska.This house was just as lovely as the pictures making our time here even more special. We loved spending time here and "hanging back at the house" when there were no other group events. We would definitely rent this one again! Thank you for a great stay!

Fun stay with friends and family
We stayed 8 nights and brought our 29’ center console. The location was great for boating, about a 10-15 min ride to Tampa Bay, and close proximity to 2 nice restaurants to go to dinner by boat. It was a nice quiet canal, with friendly neighbors. The pool was a perfect way to relax after a long day of boating, and the covered patio with screened in pool area made it nice to be able to stay outside at night and not have to worry about any bugs. The house was clean and nicely decorated inside with enough room for the house full of family and friends that were there during our stay. The 4th bedroom with the bunk beds, little couch and TV was a hit with our pre teen girls. There are 2 Publix’s close by which made those quick shopping trips and ice runs easy. The check in process was very easy and the host was very responsive for any questions that came up during our stay. Definitely a great experience and everyone that stayed had a great time and loved the house!

Escape from the cold
This is a lovely house with great common space for watching TV or playing board games. The pool area provides lots of area for lounging while watching the kids in the pool. The pool was comfortably heated which allowed for enjoying swimming even when it wasn’t particularly warm outside. The house was also nicely supplied with essential paper goods for our time there, which was very convenient.
