Golf of Mexico Dream

Location was good, home was clean and well supplied. Manager was quick and good to work with. Had nice, relaxing time.

The house is decent, not amazing. The pool table is pretty misleading in the pictures. It is in a space not large enough to actually play a game. The AC is either going bad or undersized for the house. I had it set on 72 and it ran the whole time we were there even at night never getting close to that temperature. The boat is a pile of junk. It was broken when we went to use it, the steering wheel would not turn. The property manager did get it fixed but it was not fixed until after noon on the last day we were there and thunderstorms were in the forecast, so we decided we did not trust the boat enough to trust it to take us out on such a large body of water when it did not look like it was very dependable and had already left us in a bad situation once when I had to jump in the canal because the steering was broke. For the boat issues the property owner did offer me a $200 refund. I am not thrilled with that, but I only complained about the boat.

Great time here with friends

Good location. House Manager is great. Lounge chairs for the pool and pool towels would have been really nice. I guess I assumed they were provided. Everything else was provided.

Great location on the canal made for fantastic sunsets and easy boating/fishing. Our family enjoyed the heated pool directly out back and the indoor pool table after the sun went down. The house was very comfortable for a family of 4 or more. Tons of great restaurants in the local area and the use of the pontoon boat moored out back was perfect. Host was very attentive and available upon our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation to New Port Richie.

The home is clean and nicely furnished. Lots of tile, but upgrades in kitchen and seating areas. The pool is small but suits 1-4 people. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances, dishes and utensils. The drawback was that the AC unit is too small to keep the home cool in summer months. Thermometer would read 80 degrees by afternoon and not cool down until after midnight. We were careful to keep curtains drawn and doors shut. The owner had a repairman assess the unit who said it was working as expected. Could be a great rental in cooler months.

The house fit our family of 8 (4 kids 11 and under) perfectly. It was clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils, pool toys, and other household necessities. We decided to rent the boat as well, which showed some age but functioned as it should. The day trip to the sand bar was a highlight of our stay! Nice peaceful neighborhood and beautiful views abound. Would definitely reserve again if in the area.

This property was a prefect get-a-way for the family. Proximity to restaurants, shopping, and parks was very convenient. The manger Athan was beyond friendly. The house had everything we needed, and being on the canal was a huge bonus. We rode out on the boat a lot, and the ride was very nice.

Our family had a fun week in New Port Richey. It is a great neighborhood, everything you need is nearby. A short drive to the quaint towns of Dunedin and Tarpon Springs offer plenty of shopping, good restaurants, and breweries. There were a few problems with some of the appliances in the house but the property manager, Athan, was extremely prompt and pleasant to work with. Everything in the house was nice and new looking with the exception of the bunk bedroom and the boat. Our teenage boys stayed in the bunk bedroom, so they did not mind at all that it was pretty bare-bones. Just two bunkbeds, a bookshelf and a television. We knew going in that the boat would not be a fancy or fast vessel but we did end up on Anclote Key with a dead battery. The boat was very basic, no depth finder, no radio. We had access to a service that came out and recharged the battery for us, thankfully the island had cell service so we just had to call them and wait. But no worries for future guests, because the boat now has a new battery, lol! Staying in a house on the canal cannot be beat. The boat was really fine for puttering up and down the canal, looking at all the nice houses and the beautiful shoreline. The pool was small but fun to cool off in. We love these kind of relaxing homes with water access for family vacation. It is definitely something we would like to do again.

This property does not look like the pictures posted! The “free boat” of course isn’t free it’s a horrible boat. The pool is very small it’s has a slow leek in it which we found out our second to last day. The pool got shut down the day before we left which meant our 6yr old did not get to use it the entire last day. The house managers solution was for us to use his private beach pass to make up for the pool. Yet when we arrived we weren’t aloud in! The dishwasher had old food in it and smelled terrible when opening it to use. The grill hadn’t been cleaned food stuck on it. Bathroom door is broken a family member got stuck in the bathroom day one. The washer works when it wants to. We vacation in Florida at least 2-3 times a year this was by far our worst experience. We paid for 7 days due to the owner only renting minimum 7days but only stayed 5. Even with everything that went wrong we still had to pay full price and the owners response to all the problems was “sorry about that”. Save your money stay some where else!!
