Ferienaufenthalt

Nachdem ich das Haus leider 1/2h zu früh betreten habe und ich entsprechend belehrt wurde, dass dies nicht geht, haben wir in diesem Haus wunderschöne Ferientage verbracht. Leider hat das Wetter nicht immer mitgespielt, doch dann konnten wir z.B. Billiard spielen. Wir haben von dort Wanderausflüge, Delfinausflüge und Städtchenausflüge (Tarpon Springs) unternommen. Besten Dank an die Gastgeber. David und Corinne

A gem on the coast of Florida

This was the perfect home to rent for me and my husband to get away from the day to day in Michigan. The property is beautiful, clean and has everything you need for a stay. The outside area and pool are spectacular and it was the perfect location to see the sunrise every morning. Thank you to Don and Kriss for hosting us and allowing us to stay in this wonderful home!

Great place to stay!

The house was great, having the pool & kayaks was wonderful! My husband & son saw 5 manatees in the canal just outside of the house & were able to get into the kayaks & observe them for 1/2 hour. So cool!

Sweet bungalow on Anclote canal.

Our second stay in less than 2 months. Need I say more? Stellar cleanliness, and well equipped home with everything one could need. Love the pool as well as the pool table. A quiet place to relax. My hats off to the owners for all the thoughtful touches that make this rental home so wonderful!

Beautiful bungalow!

We really enjoyed every minute of our stay in this fabulous rental! The owners gave consideration to every inch of this Floridian bungalow in regards to cleanliness, comfort, play, and visual enjoyment. This home was sparkling clean throughout, as well as outdoors, and wonderfully decorated. Definitely not the “devoid of decor and character” vacation rental that is so typical. A lot of love has been put into this home. A well stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, plenty of towels, super comfy linens and beds along with beautiful landscaping, and incredible pool and lanai. We loved the river views and had lovely sunsets nightly. Because of the current pandemic we spent the majority of our time right “at home” and made use of the pool and pool table. It was a perfect place to celebrate our 31st anniversary. We enjoyed the close proximity to Tarpon Springs and did our best to eat our way through the awesome restaurants there. Our week flew by way too fast and it was really difficult to leave this perfect paradise. We definitely hope to return soon. Without a doubt our favorite vacation home we have rented. Thank you, Kriss and Don for all the thoughtful extras you have included in this home that contributed to a perfect vacation for us!!! Cheers.....

Loved this Property!!!

This property had absolutely everything you thought you needed and some things you didn't even realize you needed. Two of our recipes required a potato masher which we forgot but no worries, there was one there of course. They have thought of everything. I think it is the cleanest property I've ever stayed in. You could never leave the property and have an excellent vacation with the large pool, dock for fishing and kayaking and pool table inside with games and puzzles as well yet it's located very conveniently to enjoy the beach, good food, historical locations and amusement/entertainment locations. I can't recommend this property enough! We hope to go back someday!

Best and Most Relaxing Vacation Ever (Even during the middle of a pandemic)

This trip was amazing. If you want a place to relax and feel like you are on vacation without exposing yourself to covid, this oasis is PERFECT! During our stay, the temp was in the low to mid 90's with heat index in the 100's. It was very hot, but floating in that pool made the weather feel absolutely wonderful. We'd go kayaking in the morning when it was cool and then hang out in the pool the rest of the day. When we took a break from the sun, we'd head into the house to play pool. We honestly had the best time. This is such a great property. Since the pool is screened in, you don't have to worry about bugs.. That was a huge plus for me. We started the week with a Walmart grocery pickup and didn't have to leave the house all week. The kitchen was well equipped and the owners go above and beyond to make this a great experience. We had a hard time leaving and can't stop day dreaming about this property. Many thanks to Don and Kriss for sharing their little piece of paradise with us.

Wonderful Rental

This home rates right up at the top of my list of rentals that I have stayed at over the years. Everything that you could possibly want or need was available. The location is great for nearby attractions, shopping and grocery shopping. The pool is ultra clean and large. Fishing and crabbing off the dock area is an extra bonus. We did not take advantage of the bikes or kayaks but they were available to us. We do plan on returning to this rental again.

A relaxing stay enhanced by a beautiful home

We stayed for 5 weeks at this unique property. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Having access to the water from the property was a real treat. We went kayaking almost every day, and there is so much to see within an easy kayak of the house. The house itself was exceptionally clean, and was full of everything that we needed. The covered outside deck was useful on the very hot days so you could be outside without being in the sun. The pool is a good size for a backyard pool, and provided a great place to cool off. We could not have been happier with our choice of this home. Over the first few days, I communicated with the owners with questions as they arose. They responded promptly with the information we needed. The house is a good size, and the garage provided a good storage area for items we did not need often. Highly recommended.

We have lived and worked in this area for 40 years.

Why they chose this property

We bought this vacation rental home because it is on the charming Anclote River with access to the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks and Gulf of Mexico.
We love visiting the many restaurants, fishing, boating, diving and enjoying the pristine beaches and islands nearby.
We want our guest to have access to these wonderful treasures too.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy boating, kayaking and fishing from the dock.
The Anclote River offers old Florida charm that takes you into the unique World Famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks. There you will find wonderful restaurants, tours, and shopping. The river continues to the the Gulf of Mexico with great boating and beautiful beaches and islands.
