4 Mi to Beach: Gem w/ Pool & Lanai in Seminole!

Property worked very well for our party of 3 couples. It was clean and inviting. Issues: broken toilet seat in 2nd bath also, never got the hot tub heated which was one of the reasons I chose the property. Apparently, it is remote controlled by the host and even when you get the system running it only heats for one hour. Very disappointed, it never made it to luke-warm and was unusable. They should be upfront about how the pool system works and make it clear. Last visitors commented similarly in the guest book. I would consider staying again but only if the hot tub and pool were functioning properly.

I would update listing just so guest know the hot tub heater does not work no matter what you try or contact owner/manager. Also, read description closely as we missed the part about the pool heater being extra.

Excellent location to beaches, shopping and restaurants. The house was exactly as described, fully stocked for all your needs and then some!! The pool was awesome!! Will definitely stay here again!!!

The house was stunning, spacious and it felt like home! The home was so close to all the beaches, restaurants and stores! I would definitely stay at this home again!

My family and I had a good time staying here. There was only a few hiccups. I paid for the heater for the hot tub and was never able to figure out how to use it. Also I ended up buying two deck chairs and side table. The chairs provided were just the bag chairs you have for kids sporting event and not sturdy. Everything else was great. The house was very clean and had plenty of household items for making food. They provided plenty of towels. Overall was a good place for a family to stay.

The house was very spacious and exactly what we needed as a family with a toddler. Initially, we had some issues with the pool jets, however the host was able to send out pool maintenance and take care of it, he was very responsive to messages. You are close to shops and grocery stores, we appreciated all the “homey” amenities like pans, silverware, and laundry access. We loved exploring the area and found many local places to eat that were amazing! We were a short drive to the beach and appreciated the great air conditioning and pool after a hot day. Excellent stay for families or other travelers looking for a quiet and cute neighborhood!

Thank you so much! We were in town for our baby sister’s wedding and this house was great! Your home was beautiful and so cozy. We felt at home. Thank you again!!

I stayed at this property with my husband and 2 young kids. The inside of the house was fairly clean and well stocked. It was spacious and there was plenty of room for me and my family. The master shower had quite a bit of mold and while there were plenty of towels, many of them had stains on them. Otherwise we enjoyed the inside of the home and being able to park in the garage was great. Check in/getting into the house was very simple and we had no issues. The outdoor space could definitely use some TLC. The pool area was very dirty. While the kids enjoyed the pool, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for quite some time. The bottom of the pool was full of dirt/debris. We did skim the pool multiple times every day, but the only skimmer provided was ripped in several places making it difficult. There were weeds growing out of the gutters and the concrete around the pool was very dirty. The location of the house was perfect - it was in a quiet neighborhood but very close to beaches and attractions. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but for the price we felt like the outdoor space could have been better maintained. We likely would not rent here again.

My family recently stayed at this lovely property in Seminole FL. The house was clean and ready for us. Crib and high chair set up as we asked for. Bedding was comfortable and the pool was a great amenity. Our contact person was responsive and allowed us to enter a little bit earlier. Would definitely recommend this home

Mostly a great experience, little hiccup at the beginning of the week but can’t really blame the owner for that, someone pool cleaner or previous renter shut off a switch on the pool/spa heater. Owner tried to help, but everything looked like it was on from his end but no way for him to know someone shut off the switch. After several attempts to fix he sent by his maintenance guy who found the problem within minutes. So we were able to enjoy the spa/heated pool for the last 24 hours. Unfortunately paid for the whole week. House was very nice though and my family enjoyed it! Would stay there again in the future and felt as though the owner made effort to resolve the pool issue.

The house was perfect. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a confortable stay While the garage door height was not enough to park a truck, the driveway easily fit 2 trucks. The only complaint i have is the lack of places to hang wet towels or suits, and the patio furniture was a little dated and didnt not accomodate mulitple people to sit outside.

Convenient to shopping, quiet neighborhood, and a very comfortable home.

We've rented over a dozen vacation rentals over the years and this one is near the top. The layout was very spacious and efficient, no wasted space. The pool and hot tub were great even on the cooler nights in early spring (pay extra for the heat).We had one minor issue with a doorknob and I was able to contact a person immediately and it was remedied quickly and professionally. We came down for the Indycar race and it took us about 30 minutes to get to downtown St. Pete and about 10 minutes to the beaches. I would rent this house again.

--House is beat up; whoever cleans the house does a poor job.--Lanai shown in the picture doesn't exist; the lanai on this house is a moldly nightmare--lanai lighting is powered by a freely-swinging indoor power strip, which is an electrocution hazard. Some of the edison light strings were unplugged, and when we plugged them in, they were blinking and flashing as if they were malfunctioning (which made us realize why they were unplugged)--lanai picture shows outdoor furniture to sit at, including a table. there were two beat-up chaise lounges. we actually brought out the dining room furniture onto the lanai to sit outdoors--pool and hot tub didn't work. repair guy came out second day of three to fix and did, but pool never got warm enough to use--one of the two toilets was broken; there was a paper sign put over the toilet instructing a person on how to flush the broken toilet so it would work -- that should tell you the owner isn't interested in a functioning house for guests, only your money--the light switches all over the house aren't really properly wired.--after a week, we reached out to the homeowner to ask for a 200 refund due to all these grievances and got zero responses.all in all -- we rent a lot of houses in Florida, most of which are good values for the money. This house is someone's investment; I would bet even money they've never been to their own house, or they have no sense of pride. Rent elsewhere.

10 minutes to the beach and great pool and hot tub

Property was great! Clean and well stocked. Everything was as advertised. Pool was very nice.
