    The house is excellent!We have rented this property for two consecutive years in December, which really says it all.The house is fully equipped and beautifully located in Apollo Beach, close to Tampa. From the private dock, you can go fishing, swim, or simply relax and enjoy the garden. The property is clean, comfortable, and very well furnished.The host, Kristy, is always easy to reach and very helpful. The welcome book includes great restaurant recommendations and useful local tips.We have already booked the house again for this coming December.Highly recommended!

    So welcoming, perfect communication through VRBO and WhatsApp. The mermaid house is so thoughtfully appointed for everything needed for a relaxing getaway, plus so much room inside living area, the covered patio, pool, yard, gazebo, and dock to entertain. The master bedroom shower is massive! Would definitely stay again!

    Our family enjoyed hanging by the pool and being able to fish off the dock. We loved how quiet the area was and safe. It had everything we needed and was a good centralized location to be able to experience other areas. I would 100% book again.

    We have been coming to Florida in December for over 15 years.The last few years we have stayed at Apollo Beach. Kristy's vacation home is a fantastic house. Everything is present in the house and has a nice heated pool, jacuzzi and a beautiful garden. On the dock you can fish and see manatees and dolphins swimming by. Kristy is easy to reach for questions and she responds immediately. There is an information book in the house with restaurants, trips and fishing charters.A must for everyone and we have booked again for December.Kind regards,Arjan OostromNetherlands

    The house is so amazing! It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a peaceful week. We saw manatees daily and dolphins a few times during the week. We loved looking for interesting fish off the dock. The kids loved the pool and I loved relaxing on the lanai. Great location close to the Manatee Viewing Center, groceries and restaurants. Only an hour long drive and you can be in the more touristy (and super busy) areas. We appreciated we could come back to the house each night and unwind. We will definitely be back!

    We had an amazing stay! The house was beautiful and was equipped with everything we needed! We used the pool and hot tub every day! We enjoyed the lanai for all our meals, relaxing, reading and watching TV. We caught many silver trout which were great to eat along with all of the trout we caught with Brandon from True Lies Fishing Company. I cannot say enough positive things about the property owners and managers!! We cannot wait to come back next year!!!!

    This home has so many little extras to list. A Large Ice machine for coolers and a second full fridge. The back yard is unique and amazing for just hanging out. Manatees swim right by. Beautiful ! Kristy went above and beyond as a host. Any questions were answered quick and concisely. Would stay again.
