    The home was great ! The view was absolutely beautiful! The sunsets were amazing. Great restaurants near by and lots of things to do within a short drive. Close to Tampa where you can enjoy the zoo, aquarium and Busch Gardens. Fishing charters were close to the house as well and fishing from the dock was great also. Right from the house you could see sting rays, dolphins and one day a manatee came for a visit. Any house questions or concerns were taken care of quickly but the house manager. We really enjoyed our vacation.

    This location was perfect for our family vacation. The house is beautiful and clean. The views from the patio are some of the best we have seen and we travel a bunch. There were dolphins that visited a couple of times a day and we were lucky enough to see the fireworks since we stayed for the Fourth of July. There are several restaurants nearby that we enjoy and the house was stocked very well so we were able to cook as a family. If we are in the area again this is where we will stay. Thanks!

    Pros:Pool and Views of Tampa Bay. Incredible. From watching storms light up the bay, to seeing dolphins, pelicans, and sunsets. Absolutely fantastic. So comfortable to watch from the pool.Property manager very communicative. We had issues with the fireplace (which got fixed promptly), the internet went down in a storm (she directed me eventually to the outlet that got tripped). Was very helpful while respecting our privacy.Plenty of items in the house. From towels (including for the pool), to basic food items, serving items, etc. Very nice to have a gated community. Was very quiet. We played a radio during the day (not too loud) and it didn't bother anyone. A couple from England was on holiday at the house next door and they were friendly and we talked together.ConsThere was construction that had to be done in neighboring houses. A fence was put up right next door when we were there and some roofing was going on. But it never was too bothersome. We actually talked with some of the contractors. Overall fantastic house with the major selling point being the pool and the views over Tampa Bay.

    Everything was good. We had one issue that was addressed. We wish there were notes on how to work the surround sound and lighting the outdoor fire pit. The pool was very clean and the ocean animals were so pleasant to see daily. This home was spacious and comfortable with plenty of supplies. Thank you Dee

    We were disappointed that the speaker system didn't work. We also wanted to pay to have the pool heated. It finally happened on the last full day we were there. We stayed there a week. That was not great considering the pool temp was around 75 degrees. Too cold!

    The house was terrific. There were nine of us from ages 6-78 and we had a great time. It is off the beaten path in a good way but with easy access to Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater. But you can also avoid the traffic here. The setup is great. We cooked a lot and had everything we needed. Pool and hot tub were great. Lots of seating. Very comfortable.

    We traveled with 9 - my wife, myself, our 2 kids (13 and 12), my sister in law, my parents, and my in laws. This house is gorgeous. Everything is well appointed, clean, and spacious. The infinity pool is just perfect. Amazing view and relaxing. We spent our mornings sipping coffee and fishing, our afternoons fishing, and had a blast. There is a ton of wildlife right on the dock. We saw dolphins, sharks, stingrays, manatees, and caught 5 different species of fish. We were slightly hesitant the upstairs rooms would be hot after reading the reviews. We had no issues. The rooms were super comfortable for sleeping, and we are used to the cold (we live in Michigan). There was a slight issue while we were there, and the hosts were extremely responsive. They tackled the issue quickly and were in regular contact with us, and very apologetic and professional. I highly recommend staying here. Just fantastic - memories made!

    The home was perfect for our family and friends to spend quality time together. The patio, pool and hot tub is where we spent most of our time. The sunsets were amazing! There is plenty of space for 2 families to be together and also have privacy. The owner and property manager were great to work with and responded immediately when we had any questions.

    The house was beautiful and the view was outstanding. The one criticism is the TV. We were not able to access much because the cable selection was awful and it was very confusing to use. There were no channels to view sporting events or watch current sitcoms or news shows, so it was limited. The area is not too conducive for shopping and beach getaways.
