Live the peace and quiet, very cozy little place, the owners were very quick responding to messages . Overall a great experience :)
We had never stayed at an ocean connected river before, and it was fun to watch the tide ebb and flow. The house is well equipped, and we appreciated being able to bring our dogs. The house has many whimsical objects and some stained-glass lamps that are priceless. The famous 45-mile walking and biking trail is directly behind the house. It is close to the Tarpon Springs Activities, Clearwater, and St. Pete's. Groceries and all supplies are close at hand. The owners are very kind and helpful. Tammy and Peter were very helpful before, during, and after the trip. If you want to try some place a little different, this is for you. The breeze is what I liked the best. It was heavenly.
We had a wonderful time getting away with another couple biking, kayaking, and hanging out in the neat city of Tarpon Springs. The house was nice and neat and had plenty of interesting decorations. I need one of the big drums! We are already checking our schedules for our next visit!
Folks very nice …location great. Home does have a lot antiques - dusty/musty/cobweb ….layout is awkward for certain family/friend situations - no restrooms accessible without going in bedroom - and to get to kids room or laundry - must go through master bedroom to get there . Kayaking is not easy from location due to tide . And others use boat on dock so people come through property.
The owners have obviously put a lot of work and thought into decoration and lots of lovely eclectic touches, however, they should have spent less on decor and more on furniture. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable as was the couch. The television was set much too high for comfortable viewing and at that price I expect some small soaps and shampoos for a weekend stay as all good hotels and every other vacation rentals I have stayed at has. I actually rented one myself and provided those things in a studio apartment. Very disappointing to have such a lovely place that is uncomfortable to relax and sleep in.
While located within walking distance of everything in downtown Tarpon Springs, one feels away from it all watching the tidal flows and watching the waterfowl on the Anclote River. Great place for paddling kayaks, playing games with friends and relaxing.
We really enjoyed staying at this property. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner there and the kitchen was very well equipped - much more so than usual for a VRBO. We also enjoyed the river view and being able to kayak on the river. We would stay there again!
wonderful location! and plenty of room to sleeping. Right on the water with great views! lovely We loved our stay! thanks for having us! a few minor things would be helpful. We came in late and in the future it would be very nice to have supplies for one pot of coffee, dish soap, dishwasher soap. and bar soap in the showers. It would be wonderful in the future to have a few more sleeping pillows too please. We loved the stay overall and would love to stay again please!
It was great! Loved the views specially during sunrise and sunset. Location was great, just minutes from the Sponge docs. and restaurants area. The fenced backyard was great for our dog. We enjoyed fishing off the doc. kids had a blast! Will return!
The location is gorgeous and the accommodations are nice. The house has a ton of character and has so much to look at - really cool antiques. The backyard is perfect and so enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this property!
