Great house in a great location

This house was amazing both inside and out . The pool was beautiful refreshing. The location was close to the sponge docks of Tarpon Springs and about 25 min drive to Clearwater beach. I highly reccomend this house to stay. The owner Cregg was very helpful and answered our question right away.

Family Spring Break

The house was very clean and in a great neighborhood. The house was alos very quiet with no odd noises waking us up. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom/shower had everything we needed. The kids (11 and 13) loved the pool and the 2 bikes in the garage for our use. Cregg had lots of beach toys, pool towels and pool floaties as well. The backyard was full of lizards, squirrels, birds and all types of wildlife. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Perfectly Delightful

This is a lovely home, spotlessly clean, well-appointed, and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bikes in the garage were a wonderful surprise, and we used them often. The spices in the cupboard made it easy to cook meals. There is a large pantry for all of your groceries, something that is often lacking in other vacation homes we have rented. Plenty of towels, paper products, and even shampoos and soaps. I highly recommend, and look forward to staying there again.

Freah, Clean, Beach Vibe.

The house was fresh and clean. Felt very open and beachy. We really appreciated the beach wagon and beach supplies. Loaded it all up and enjoyed a day at Honeymoon Island State Park - highly recommend. The backyard pool was just right for kids on a hot afternoon. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking. The host responded in a timely manner to all of our questions and concerns. Great location. We would definitley stay here again.

Fantastic place!

Cregg's Vrbo was wonderful. Great layout and beautifully decorated. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was outfitted with everything you would need. We didn't use the pool much due to the weather, however it was nicely heated and the backyard is very private. As a host, Cregg was very helpful and his communication was excellent. He provides a unit that is full of extras and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable stay. Definitely would stay here again in the future!

Tarpon Springs Spring Break

We used VRBO to get away for Spring Break with my family. Everyone loved the house and pool. It was very relaxing outside and inside. Loved the pool and the outdoor sitting area. There was great wildlife entertainment. If you are a bird watcher bring a soot square and install it and watch the birds come. Cardinals, Blue Jays, Woodpeckers, ducks and squirrels. Very close to beaches and plenty of places to eat. Grocery story close by too. Will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

Tarpon Springs

We stayed at this rental for a week, for a niece’s wedding and festivies. The house is well furnished, comfortable beds and furniture. The kitchen was better equipped than most other rentals we’ve used. Location is quiet and close enough to beach, restaurants and grocery stores. The owner was quick to respond to our questions and very easy to work with. Make sure to get to Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs on the water, but make reservations b/c they are very busy even mid week. Great seafood and reasonable prices. Will use this rental again if we have other family events in the area.

My daughter and I along with her bestie ran away for the week. This was the PERFECT spot. Short drive to clearwater for great food and beautiful beaches. I recommend captain jacks in town. Close to cute boutiques and the two local beaches. The house was perfect. Very clean. Beds were great and showers amazing. Pool was fun! Deck was peaceful. I can’t brag on this place enough. The home owner Cregg is just wonderful! Quick to help with anything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautilful House

Had a wonderful time, but a few suggestions. My husband and I are well over 70, so the throw rugs in the bedroom are not safe. I folded them up and put them down when we left. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in. Also lovely to look at. I wish there was a reading lamp with the living room chairs. Bathroom were very clean and nice. Wish there was a guard rail in the shower. The pool was nice, but unfortunately, the weather was not great. I like that Howard Beach was close by, and we enjoyed that as well as the shopping and restaurants in Tarpon Springs. Overall, we both really enjoyed staying at your house.
