Such a great house! We loved the pool, and sunsets and the ease of cooking in the house. Everything you need is here just bring your clothes and food and relax!

We had a great stay at Tammy's house. Situated in a nice quiet location and the pool area and view from the back is amazing.
Neighbours are very friendly and nice walk to a few bar/restaurants.
Ideally located as we wanted just outside Tampa and near the beaches and this suited well as about 1hr from both.
House was spacious and clean, and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend, if you are thinking of staying here.

We rented this property to use as a base for house hunting. It was perfect. There were several developments around the area with some great homes. After a day of house hunting, the pool was a wonderful retreat. This house is a very comfortable and relaxing place.

Beautiful house in a stunning location. Ideally situated for St Pete’s and gulf coast beaches. The house has everything you need for your vacation. Thank you for the use of the kayaks. It was very relaxing out on the calm water. Tammy is a wonderful host and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Lovely, friendly neighbours too. Thank you for sharing your house with us Tammy.

What a great place to stay, we had 3 generations together for the week under one roof watching dolphins from the dock, catching fish, kayaking, swimming in the pool, playing board games from the closet. Also lets not forget the neighbors, great welcoming people. We will be back.

The house was absolutely wonderful. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The bedrooms were fantastic and the beds were very comfortable. All of the rooms had comfortable seating, and the great windows for the outside in. The views from the dining room and living room onto the lanai and pool were beautiful. We enjoyed our stay immensely. And we will be back.

5 PLUS STARS!!!
My family and I (husband and two Adult Children) spent a fabulous time, a full week, at Tammy's House. Great Hostess, Great Communications, (usually less than a hour call back.) She had EVERYTHING. Kitchen had anything you needed to bake,cook, broil, tons of utensils, along with pans, pots, baking dishes etc. to go with it. More than enough Dishes, silverware, just everything!!!
Easy access front door, good locks, great lighting!! Close to restaurants, stores, gas stations.WOW!!!
House was as pictured in VRBO, beautiful, tastefully decorated, pool super clean, peaceful place to sit out at night and just relax. Plenty of room outside and inside, for when my sister, her husband and my Dad, came to visit. Gorgeous views, quiet, SAFE neighborhood, yet lots of great neighbors. Very Friendly.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We will definitely rent from her again!!!

Had a great time in this lovely villa that had everything you needed and loved all the Halloween decorations, the only thing i was a wee bit disappointed with is we didn't get in the lovely pool as it was cold. Spent alot of time fishing at the dock and enjoying the sun which was great.

There’s no place like home, but you’ll feel right at home here! Very comfortable and welcoming.
Not barren and cold as some rental homes can be. Nicely decorated and immaculately clean. Whole house is in order and no clutter! The pool was clean and plenty of room to lounge. Honestly, everything was perfect. No complaints

Our stay at this VRBO was perfect for our family. We all enjoyed the pool and dock, on-site. My son was up every day at 6/7 AM and caught stingrays and ladyfish. We appreciated being able to use fishing gear that was provided at the house, but also purchased a few things at Walmart and a local bait shop. They also saw dolphins and a small species of shark. One day there was a school of jacks, just bubbling at the surface of the water. My husband took the kayak out one afternoon and enjoyed the convenience of being able to get in right off of the steps on the dock. The convenience of the dock was also great when my brother-in-law came in his boat to pick us up for fishing out in the bay. Another great quality for me was the convenience of having a Publix 5 minutes up the street, as well as, Dunkin, Starbucks, and Armetta’s Gelato and Caffe…loved the authentic Italian coffee! We also found the location a very easy drive into Tampa for all of the wedding activities we came to attend. I highly recommend this home for your Apollo Beach getaway, and hope to return someday!

We had a great time floating in the beautiful pool and fishing on the dock. The house is so comfortable and uniquely decorated. It is so well stocked with odds and ends in case you happen to forget anything and it makes you feel at home. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation, this is the spot!! Tammy is a great owner!!!

View was great and pool was super nice to have. A little further from the beaches than we suspected but the drive wasn’t bad at all. Good stay overall

Tammy’s house has EVERYTHING a family of 6 would need. Loved the vibe of her home, so eclectic - from African safari to Dia de los Muertos to beach vacation home. My kiddos immensely enjoyed the pool and lanai. My husband enjoyed fishing off the deck. The location of her home is in quiet, peaceful, and friendly neighborhood. 10 out of 10 would recommend her home!
5.0
The house was great for my family’s vacation. Had everything we needed and it was easy to contact tammy. Only “complaint” and I really can’t call it a complaint is not having tvs in all bedrooms, this is just a personal preference but definitely not a deal breaker! I would recommend this house for everyone!

This waterfront home offered everything we wanted in a vacation home. We kayaked, swam, enjoyed the breeze on the dock and the peace and quiet. The home was stocked with anything we needed: kitchen supplies, towels…even helpful neighbors! We hope to have the opportunity to visit again.

This house was wonderful. The pool was great, the water views were awesome. There is anything and everything you could need in the house. Tammy was great and easy to communicate with and is an excellent hostess.

The house is located right on Tampa Bay and the view was great with the sunsets. Clean spacious house with amenities you need. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed sitting at the pool. Tammy was responsive to any questions and access was easy.

This is an outstanding property in an affluent and quiet neighborhood. The major appliances were new and of excellent quality, and the house has been decorated by an artful and imaginative owner/manager. Some of the impressive artwork is Tammy's, and others (prints, paintings, etc.) are equally beautiful. The pool was not heated, and we did not use it, but in warmer months it would be delightful. Coastal cities nearby were close enough that we did not mind the drive. We have used VRBO extensively, and this rates as one of the very best homes we have rented.

Family get away to a beautiful home. It was comfortable, clean and had everything that we needed. The view was beautiful. Direct access to the water for kayaking in the two provided with the property. The pool is gorgeous. The lanai is amazing. The bedrooms are comfortable. The living areas are comfortable and large enough for all six of us. Tammy answered all of my messages quickly. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to spend quality time with their family. Also close to Tampa for those attractions.

We spent a week here between Xmas and New Years hanging out with our kids and grandkids. Home was perfect for our family of six adults and four grandkids ages ten-months to five. Very well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and sitting areas. Dock includes low kayak launch point for easy access to Tampa Bay. We really appreciated having all the little things most VRBO hosts in our experience do not supply like plenty of toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. We stay in a lot of rental properties and this one stands out because it actually feels like someone’s home. Lots of eclectic touches and art work. Only 35 minutes from Tampa attractions like the aquarium, zoo, waterfront park, and large heated public pools. We highly recommend.

Very nice house, fished off the dock, there are fishing poles and some tackle too, will come back again sometime next year. The boat lift is a nice feature, however we were not able to use it this time. The owners photo's created a family feeling, which was a nice personal touch.

This was a great place to stay. The pool was a huge hit with my 13 & 9 year Olds as well as myself, my husband & parents. Tammy has everything you need - numerous towels for both pool & bath, a lot of extras that you may have forgotten like brushes, mouthwash, etc., every type of plate, bowl, glasses, pans, pots; pool noodles, floats. The kayaks were easy to use as there is a staircase all the way into the water. I have no complaints and will definitely come back!!! Tammy is a great host. We were there in August so the pool was warm for us in case people are worried about that.

The rental was very nice and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Tammy was very responsive and the place was beautiful.
5.0
We spent a month at this property and really enjoyed it. The pool and dock on the water are the highlights, but the house is also roomy and well-appointed, making for an enjoyable stay. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well- stocked. Tammy was very responsive when we had questions or concerns. The only reason I marked 4 stars on location is because Apollo Beach is not conveniently located to Tampa or St. Pete, and traffic is a bear all around that area. But if you don’t care about that, this is a great place.

The property is exactly as advertised - beautiful home with clean, relaxing pool and beautiful view of the water. Everything you could need is provided. There’s a Publix coming into the community but I’d recommend the Walmart in Gibsonton a few minutes away (and the gas is about 20 cents cheaper there as well). If you want a great breakfast, make a right onto 41 as you come out of the community and go to Apollo Beach Diner - just know that they’re not open on Tuesday. Tammy was a great host and communicator. And the neighbors were very friendly as well. I would definitely stay again and recommend this property to anyone. Thank you Tammy! We had a great week!!

This house is in a great location within a half hour of most everything in Tampa, on the water and a very short drive to restaurants and bars.
The .01 reduction is for the unheated pool, which we knew about and thought it wouldn't be a big deal... and realistically it wasn't, but it was REALLY cold swimming in April. To be fair, no one else in the neighborhood appeared to be swimming either.
And it didn't draw too much away from the trip in a nice, clean home in a quiet neighborhood. Great when you are trying to totally back off from everything for a week .

Beautiful view if the harbor in a quiet family neighborhood. Very safe area. Pool was too cold for the adults but the kids were happy in it! We loved the weather and enjoyed eating the majority of our meals outside!
