Peaceful getaway from winter

A beautiful home and private backyard sanctuary! This is our second time staying here and we love it! So thoughtful to have fresh flowers, muffins, and strawberries for us. The kitchen is incredible. We love to stay home and grill and that is so perfect to enjoy at the table by the pool. Super close to the bike trail which is our favorite activity. Plus a short walk to see the amazing sunsets. The only disappointment was the heater was not able to get fixed in the pool and it was simply too cold to swim in the pool. We love the small town feeling of Crystal Beach. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! God’s blessings to you both.

February 2 Week Recharge - Peaceful & Relaxing

Chantal & Luis shared a lovely home and pool with us. The neighborhood is a quiet spot centered around the Crystal Beach park. Every evening the sunset draws a neighborhood group. The home is very clean and comfortable with all the amenities you can imagine. The private heated pool is great. Chantal & Luis quickly responded to our communications. We’ve reserved again for next year.

Lovely setting; great neighborhood

The house is charming and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and lots of silverware. There is a well-set coffee and tea area with lots of choices for tea. All the furniture was in good shape and quite comfortable. There were vases with fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival. The pool area is lovely and we often ate breakfast and dinner on the patio, poolside. Crystal Beach is a great neighborhood. The house is located close to the bike path and it’s a great neighborhood to take walks. Be sure to take a short walk to the waterfront for spectacular sunsets. The host was easily reached and responsive. We had a lovely 11 day visit.

Casa Tropical - Paradise

Chantal and Luis are wonderful hosts! 5* Communication was prompt and clear. Their home is clean, spacious, and lovingly furnished with virtually everything you could need. (This is not the typical furnished-by-IKEA rental, in all the best ways!) The location and neighborhood are ideal. If given the opportunity to visit Casa Tropical again, I would not hesitate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Crystal beach vacation.

The house was very nice in a quiet neighborhood. The hostess left us a welcome tray of muffins and fruit. We especially enjoyed the shaded lanai around the pool and patio. We didnt get a chance to use the bikes. The beach wagon left for our use made going to the beach very easy. We also forgot a few things when we left that we didn’t realize and she contacted us that her cleaner had found them and would we like her to mail them to us. We really appreciated that! We would stay again.

Wonderful Casa!

We've stayed here twice, for a total of 5 weeks. The listing describes it perfectly. Hosts Chantal and Luis are available, friendly and responsive. The house is really a labor of love on their part, beautiful, comfortable and fully equipped. Crystal Beach is simple, lovely, quiet. We loved the proximity to Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Honeymoon Beach State Park, Clearwater, St. Pete and Sarasota. Many fine restaurants! And of course the heated saltwater pool. Book Casa Tropical!

We're Coming Back!

We just spent two weeks at Casa Tropical and have already booked for 2024. Trust the listing. This home is lovely, comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The garden and pool (with waterfall!) are private and relaxing. Quiet neighborhood. We were welcomed with fresh fruit, muffins and bedside chocolates. Chantal and Luis were wonderful hosts, extremely responsive to our questions and requests. We also loved the whole Crystal Beach area, in particular the gorgeous beaches at Honeymoon Island State Park. We were close enough to Tampa, St. Pete and Sarasota to enjoy what those towns offered. The Greek restaurants and bakeries in Tarpon Springs were a revelation. Thank you, we highly recommend Casa Tropical!

Home away from home

Disclaimer... I do not know the owners or have any financial interest in this property. Short answer. Highly recommend. We have stayed at multiple VRBO properties. This one had everything. Anything you can think of has already been provided. The most well equipted property we have ever been to. When you travel. If you forgot something. No worries.. This property probably will already have it waiting for you. When you enter the home lots of small details had been pre planned for you. Take a moment and appreciate. The fresh fruit, danishes and chocolate by your pillow. Notice how the kitchen is well equipted with spices drinks and assorted foods. A coffee/ Tea bar equipted better then any 5 star hotel. Small details everywhere. Grill yep. But also charcole and lighter fluid. Bikes yep. But also helmets and bike locks. Shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Enough for 2 weeks. Toilet paper yep. Enough for a week. Games yep. Washer and dryer yep. An also provided all detergent needed. Pool yep. But not described is the little waterfall in the pool. Pool area was landscape with a peaceful and natural environment Community. Quiet day and night. Location convient to everything. Brochures of local activities are provided and was a great help in daily activities planning. This was my mothers first VRBO experience. I fear this property has set a standard other future properties will have difficulty matching.

We were only able to stay for 5 days, but what a wonderful 5 days. We were able to visit with my mother-in-law who will be 99 in September(and entirely independent) and my sister- in-law and her husband. And of course we managed to spend the afternoons in the pool. Restaurants and shopping close by and great places to walk near the Gulf. We couldn't have had a better time.

First time using VRBO and we were very pleased. The property was conveniently located to restaurants, breweries, bike trail, public transportation, beaches, shopping. Our hosts made us feel welcome with a “care package”. Chantal and Luis were responsive to all our needs. The backyard and pool area was private and relaxing. Kitchen was well equipped, beach and pool chairs were available along with bikes and other items to help you enjoy your stay. Chantal and Luis thought of everything! We will definitely be staying with them again.
