serene vacation

I stayed at this property with my husband For nine days and my son daughter-in-law and grandson And their small dog came to visit for a short stay with us. The house was spotless and had every amenity you could think of. We did not have to shop for anything other than food. We spent much of our time sitting out on the lanai, enjoying the sound of birds and the quiet peaceful setting along the canal. The owners DENNIS and Susie could not be more accommodating. They were helpful with Any questions we had about the area restaurants,places to visit. They answered any text we had within minutes They could not have been more pleasant and accommodating My son daughter-in-law grandson came the last three days of our visit and DENNIS came over and put a fence around the pool for the safety of my grandson. The pool was clean And warm and we spent much time enjoying it I would recommend this home highly!

Winter 2024 Getaway

We stayed here from Feb. 1 to April 8, 2024. Everything was just as it was advertised. The property owners live close by and were easy to contact. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood, nice house, nice pool area and covered and screened lanai were all well used by us. Anything we needed was readily available and the owners were just a text or phone call away. Loved seeing the dolphins swim by at various times and really enjoyed the quiet and relaxing area. Would recommend to anyone.

Peaceful location away from the beach but close to St Pete

A nice, peaceful location and well equipped home for St Pete but less convenient if you want to spend alot of time at St Pete or Clearwater beaches. Nice backyard and pool and saw the dolphins several times during feeding times.. We enjoyed visiting the downtown area which is only a few mins away.

Family Reunion

Dennis and his property were PERFECT for our Family Reunion. The home was exactly as described and the open floor plan, screened porch, and outdoor space gave us plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy our time in Florida. We will absolutely be staying there again! The dolphins and birds were just an added bonus! :)

U. Tampa Stay

House was great for us to get our daughter into U. Tampa. About 25 minutes from campus. House had plenty of room for 4 people (we were only 3). Cool kitchen bar, good BR’s enjoyed the pool, nice screened in porch AND a dolphin did visit us just before leaving. Also easy access to the garage and washer/dryer.

St Petersburg 2023

Well maintained, clean, comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of space for three couples. Spacious kitchen which was adequately appointed, within the open floor plan living room/dining area. Bedrooms were nicely decorated with comfortable beds. We spent a good bit of time in the screened-in porch overlooking the canal. Enjoyed watching various waterfowl feed their young. The pool was clean with refreshing water temps. Visited downtown St. Petersburg, John’s Pass, Clearwater and Fort DeSoto Park’s North Beach. The Saturday Market in Williams Park had many vendors with a large variety of food and giftware for sale. Good time had by all! Thanks for your hospitality, Dennis! Christine & Jim Gessner

Graduation at University of Tampa!

Stayed here for my niece's graduation from University of Tampa. This place is very nice and quiet. I am an early riser 😔 (5 - 6am daily ) and it was so relaxing, that I did not get up to 8 am every morning. Enjoyed coffee on the back screened in porch and evening walks in the neighborhood along with relaxing at the private backyard pool. Spent a couple days at Maderia Beach and John's Pass, which we enjoyed and thought was nicer and has more options then Clearwater Beach, where we normally stay. And if you like Crabby's in Clearwater, they have one. This place was half way between both the beach and graduation ceremonies for us. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Great home in a great location.

The house looks quite small from the outside but it is actually very spacious. It is super clean and comfortable. It has a nice pool area. It is located at the end of a very quiet street. Many different kinds of birds living there make you feel like you are staying in a bird sanctuary.

Relaxing Get-A-Way

This meticulously maintained home is on a cul de sac in a quiet, St Petersburg neighborhood. The pictures on their website accurately show the furnishings in the house. The screened back porch is spacious. It’s location provides the option of hanging out at the private pool at the house or driving to beaches and boardwalks like James Pass or the St Pete pier. It was an easy drive to museums, restaurants, and the grocery store. It was our first time visiting this part of Florida and we had a great time.

Paradise in St. Pete's

Absolutely perfect place to stay in St. Pete's. A quiet neighborhood with a comfortable backyard (and multiple dolphin sightings!) and easy access to grocery stores and downtown St. Pete's. We stayed for three weeks, vacationing one week and then my husband and I working remotely for two weeks. The internet was great and had no issues with simultaneous video calls multiple times throughout each day. The fenced in yard was great for our dog, and the open air pool (not screened in) was a true gem. We took advantage of the two kayaks and even the fishing rods - caught several mangrove snappers and sheeps heads. The home itself was comfortable and accommodated our needs perfectly. Thank you for providing a great stay for our escape from the long Minnesota winters!

Relax by the pool while dolphins swim by!

This is our family's second stay at this lovely home. Dennis is a wonderful host, the house is comfy and clean, and we especially love the setting on the water, complete with a big screened-in porch, heated pool, and kayak launch. On our last day, we were playing in the pool while dolphins swam by. Paradise.

Not the Ponderosa but pretty sweet

This house worked perfectly for our four adults and our four-legged dog. It was comfortable, roomy even. Our favorite hang out spots were the kitchen and the screened in porch. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean. We were in town to race our sailboat so we didn’t get much time at the pool. The garage was a great place to organize our gear. All in all, we would choose this place again when we return to the area.

Beautiful home in a great location

First of all, this was one of the cleanest properties I've ever checked into... we could tell pride of ownership right away. Everything is updated and bright and modern. There are amenities galore... towels, beach towels, chairs, coolers, kitchen utensils, both a regular coffee pot and a keurig so if you stop and grab groceries on your way, know that you have both. The only thing missing was a pizza cutter and we bought one of those and left it (we want to come back! :)). The location was great... we hit the beach a couple days, spent an evening in downtown St. Pete and hit a concert in Tampa... pretty easy to get around going in all directions. The outdoor space was probably our favorite! Whether we sat in the screened in porch overlooking the canal or by the pool, it was definitely the relaxing atmosphere we all needed. Dennis was great with communication the whole time. We are so glad we stayed here and are planning on coming back!

St Petersburg Oasis.

This property was great! The location was just perfect for us. Close to downtown, restaurants, shopping, and right on the water. We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks but used the pool most days. They had an abundance of pool toys/floats and the pool temperature was perfect. Plenty of seating around the pool as well as the screened patio that was equipped with two ceiling fans to help with the hot weather. The house itself was well equipped with lots of glasses, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, coolers, beach chairs, fishings poles, etc. I was very impressed with all the items that were available for our use which are too numerous to mention. I cannot complement Dennis enough for the way he made sure we had access to his home by providing us with the information timely. Lastly, I want to mention how quiet the property is. It really seemed as though we were the only people there for miles. It is lovely hearing the chores of bird song every morning and frog symphony in the evening. We could not be more pleased with this property.

About the host

We have lived in St Petersburg for over 30 years. We enjoy the fun, laid back feeling that St. Pete has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location!
Walkable to EVERYTHING! Morning waterfront walks and parks, Weekend downtown festivals, every great restaurant!
Easy in/out of this 3-Bdrm waterfront pool home, and beats the experience in all the neighboring multi-million dollar high-rises (my opinion)
