Relaxing

We were actually there for a funeral that consisted of three days of gatherings. It was so nice to come back to a cozy home which is much more preferable than a hotel room. An added plus was it was dog friendly and our fur babies throughly enjoyed the home and backyard!! We even had the opportunity to bring my husband’s father back with us for an evening meal and card game it was such an enjoyable evening for him to break up the stress of adjusting to life after losing his wife.

Wonderful stay away from home

We loved our stay here. So close to the ballpark to see our Phillies Spring Training. We grilled at night and enjoyed the wonderful backyard where we relaxed every night. Melissa was a wonderful host and very communicative. The home was clean and truly felt like our home away from home. We will definitely stay here again next year!

Perfect home!

This home was very clean, well supplied, and overall a perfect stay. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and my mom loved sitting outside with them. We loved the home and the location was perfect for us to visit Tampa and Clearwater. I would stay again. 10/10.

Comfortable and well furnished.

We stayed at this property for the last 3 weeks in March and found it to be very relaxing and pretty much as advertised. It's in a residential neighborhood and close to grocery stores and restaurants. It's not close to beaches but we found some great beaches within a 10 to 15 minute drive at Indian Rock, Sand Key and Dunedin. We were there during spring break and the beaches were busy. For relaxing outdoor, the front porch is OK, but the real gem is the back yard and patio. It's really very nice and private, and shaded by a large live oak. The house is really well stocked with everything you would need, especially the kitchen. We had one minor problem when the microwave stopped working but the property manager Melissa had it replaced with a new one the same day. The only minor annoyance we had was that we had to park our car under a large live oak tree that constantly dropped leaves, seeds, etc. that necessitated us going to a self spray car wash to wash the stuff off every other day. I don't know if this just happens in the spring or all year with live oaks. If we were coming back to the Clearwater-Largo area, we would definitely consider coming back to this property. We had a wonderful time there.

Family Get Together

The property was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room for relaxation and conversation. The outdoor setting was enjoyable except for the fireworks on New Year's Eve. The only drawback was the driveway incline. This made it difficult for seniors to get in and out of their vehicles.

The best VBRO Experience to date!

From the start of booking this property, the property owner was in contact and kept me informed even of the weather conditions. The house was meticulously clean and all the thoughtful touches were appreciated. We were to have a 15mth old baby with us and the owner included toys and even offered to baby-proof the house. The backyard although no pool was an oasis and I enjoyed every morning coffee there. The location is perfect, near beaches and shops. I recommend this property hands down!

Phillies Spring Training

My dad and I just wanted to get away for a few days and catch some Phillies spring training games. The house was only a 10 minute drive to the park, we were surrounded by plenty of restaurant choices within minutes and only 20 minute ride to Indian Rock where we had an amazing dinner on the water. While the neighborhood is a little older, the house was very clean and extremely roomy. A very family friendly vibe also…Friday night the neighbors were sitting on the porch chatting and Saturday morning a dad and daughter playing catch on the lawn…it was so great to see. Melissa was great with communication and responses. We had a wonderful stay!

Perfect vacation destination for us!!

Felt just like home, only warmer. My dogs loved the fenced-in back yard, and we also loved sitting out there with them. The house was very comfortable, it had everything we needed and Melissa was a wonderful host....we hated to leave. Hopefully we'll be able to plan a vacation there again in the future.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home

What a delightful and comfortable place to stay. This house is truly a home, filled with many thoughtful touches to make a stay here comfortable. The home is immaculately clean, well laid out, and offers everything needed. This is truly a place you can just bring your suitcase and enjoy. We brought our two fur babies and they had a wonderful time as well. The backyard is a perfect space. Thank you so much for the use of your home. It was a delight.

Great house in an excellent location

We had a great stay at this house. The property was about 15 minutes from our mother's house in Safety Harbor, and 15 minutes from multiple beaches. The house has everything needed for a stay, and the kitchen is well equipped for a week long stay. We had a question and Michelle responded quickly with great information. Even our pup felt at home in this friendly pet environment.

Perfect KID FRIENDLY home!

There were so many great things about staying at this property. I’ll do my best to remember them all! First and foremost this home had everything we needed for a beach vacation with a toddler! The host went above and beyond to make sure my daughter had a comfortable stay by providing an immaculate pack and play, a toddler booster chair for meal times, and even baby bath supplies. In addition to this, my daughter was entertained from the moment we entered the home. There was no shortage of fun as the home was stocked with toys: a ride on car, a kitchen, a small collection of books, and coloring supplies… not to mention all that fun she had exploring in the safe, beautiful back yard. We were so thankful that literally everything we needed for a fun day at the beach was provided!!! The home was clean, was well stocked, and overall a very comfortable stay for our family. This would be great if you are traveling alone and even better if you’re traveling with kids. We were impressed by how spacious and cozy the home was. Expect to travel some if you stay at this location. It was at least a 15 min car ride to the closest beach, primarily due to traffic. We didn’t find this problematic and enjoyed the scenery. The home is conveniently located very close to the supermarket. Making it easy to grab last minute essentials. We highly recommend this property.
