The owner prepared everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing was that the kitchen countertop was not super clean and there was some spill not cleaned in the fridge.

The house was perfect for my husband and I. We were in Florida for a graduation and the two bedrooms allowed our granddaughter to spend a couple of nights. Conveniently located to so many beaches, parks, restaurants, etc. The owners were great. Communication was easy, quick and clear. The kitchen was well stocked with spices. Plenty of fishing poles in the garage and the screened porch was like being at home for morning coffee. I highly recommend this location.

Beautiful Key West experience in Palm Harbour! When walking the area the people we met were very friendly and welcoming. The accommodations were just as in the pictures - as others have commented the coffee bar was a nice touch. Lots of fishing supplies for the fisherman at heart. The only thing my husband was a little concerned about was the ability for people who would like to kayak but are inexperienced in the getting in and out of a kayak as the kayak is much lower than the dock level. We would definitely stay there again!

Had a great time at this charming property. The house was fully equipped and very clean. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is convenient to local attractions and shopping. The beaches at Clearwater and Dunedin are phenomenal. We especially liked hanging out in the yard along the canal.
We hope to come back again.

LOVED this home on a canal on Lake Tarpon. First and most importantly, it was clean as a whistle! Updated interior throughout, and every amenity you could want. Seriously! Owners have thought of everything! And if you're a coffee lover, they have an amazing coffee bar. Kitchen is fully equipped. We only cooked scrambled eggs for breakfast, and ate out for lunch and dinner, or take-outs that could be microwaved, as we really only wanted to sit outside by the canal to enjoy the water and wildlife. The enlarged screened-in lanai was our next favorite place, where we ate breakfast and dinner leftovers - no bugs/mosquitos! Bed was very comfortable. We walked 2 miles every morning throughout the neighborhood at about 6:45 am, all quiet. A few walkers, one or 2 cyclists and a few cars. Everyone waved or said hello. We felt very safe.
Owners are on top of everything and respond quickly.
We will return! Many thanks, Lorrie and Ron!
PS...Do not miss restaurants Rusty Bellies or Ozona Blue!

The house was charming and has a tropical character.
Very comfortable and perfect location for our needs.
The Host was very attentive and seemed very conscientious and accommodating.
Location on a canal that leads out to the lake was nice ambience and helpful for boaters.
Loved the friendly local bar & grill “Snappers Grill”…great fish tacos and fish n chips!
Overall, we couldn’t have chosen a better property for our week stay in sunny Palm Harbor.

My husband and I couldn't have had a better time. The owners, Lorrie and Ron, were absolutely phenomenal to work with. The home had a very tasteful Key West theme-so colorful and a happy place to live in for a week. The canal in the back was so nice-saw an occasional friendly alligator swimming by keeping his/her and our distance. The availability of kayaks was very nice, and we could navigate to Lake Tarpon by way of the Kayaks if desired. If you stay there, you'll be glad you did. The owners obviously take great pride in their Vrbo investment! Thank you Lorrie and Ron!

The house was fully equipped and very cozy. It was centrally located for exploring north and south beach locations. Right on a canal with great wildlife viewings. Very neat and clean.

The house had everything you needed including spices for cooking. We arrived in Tampa at 9am and our flight out wasn’t until 4 pm. Lorrie and Ron allowed us to check in early and check out late which was a true blessing. It’s the little things in life. We seen an alligator swim by in the canal which was very cool. We were a couple of miles to Tarpon Springs and Dunedin. We explored both towns and enjoyed the central location of the house. I took several walks through the neighborhood and the neighbors were friendly. We would definitely recommend this house and location. Renae M.

If we could give 10 stars we would. From start to finish this was a fantastic stay in a very clean and well equipped home. It had everything we needed and more. It was spotlessly clean and the hosts went the extra mile by supplying an endless amount off tea and coffee, oils and syrups and even washing machine and dish washer supplies. We ran out of fire pit propane and was immediately resupplied after notify Lorrie & Ron, they bent over backwards to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We even had some special visitors while there including turtles, and 2 gators they swam right by us in the canal, what a treat. We thoroughly recommend this beautiful vacation home, we will definitely return again soon 👍😁

The home was very well stocked and well taken care of. We were there for a month and had one issue and it was taken care of the same day. Quiet area and loved sitting out back. Close to anything you need.

This property is a great value. It is conveniently located in a safe and quiet neighborhood and the backyard of the house is on a canal on Lake Tarpon. The house is very homey, unlike most other tentals. It has two large bedrooms with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The TV room is great with a comfortable couch set and the kitchen is well appointed with everything you might need for cooking purposes, including numerous spices and olive oil. The house also includes an excellent coffee/tea preparation area, with more coffee and tea than you'll be able to drink during your stay. The real bonus of this place is that it includes a tandem kayak and two single-seat kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, and all the accompanying fishing gear you will need to explore and fish the lake. There is also an excellent washer and dryer and detergent is included. I have rented many houses during my national travels, and this home was the best I have experienced, particularly for the price point. Finally, the hosts are very responsive and accommodating, permitting my group a late check out. Enjoy your stay at the lake!

Super cute house in a very quiet neighborhood. The house was well stocked with essentials. Fishing in the canal was fun! I caught a few fish! They were released back into the water. Great location! Close to great restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back!

Relaxing at its finest!
Beautiful Clean home located on a lovely canal off of Lake Tarpon. We enjoyed sipping coffee in the mornings, relaxing and just unwinding! We celebrated my 50th at the Tarpon Turtle just down the road! Great location to all stores and things to do. Many beautiful parks nearby too. We will return and spread the word on this adorable VRBO. Lorrie was a gem to correspond with and very kind! We had a wonderful time!

Cozy, Comfortable, and Relaxing
What a nice place right on the canal. The property was extremely clean, the kitchen was well stocked and with relatively new appliances. We enjoyed sitting on the large screened in porch watching turtles and even a small alligator pass by. Location is excellent, minutes from Tarpon Springs, the beaches and close to Dunedin.
Lorrie and Ron couldn't have been better, more generous hosts -quick to respond to all our emails and questions, and working with us to move our visit back a day due to bad weather
