The Avocado House was perfect for our family to relax, enjoy the pool, go to the beach, and spend quality time together. John, the host, is incredibly responsive, friendly and helpful. The house is well equiped for all you may need: there were plenty of towels, everything for the beach, there were even boogie boards for the kids to use. The living space is airy and welcoming. There are special touches throughout that show the owner's care. The living space is on the second floor (up the stairs pictured in the front of the house; there is also an interior staircase to the laundry that we used to get to the pool). Another review mentioned the second floor living space as a negative; for our family it was a positive because the upstairs windows captured the sea breezes, there were tropical tree views from all the window, and the pool area was separate from the living space, which was important for making sure that kids didn't wander over to the pool without adult supervision. The neighborhood is very peaceful, and is close to several family friendly beaches. It was the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation! We can't wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at this home. We found the design of the house (staying on the top level) not as conducive to outdoor living (not enough light outside to BBQ after the sun went down, extra work to carry food outside/down the stairs) but we were out and about most of the time anyways. It was a quiet location which we appreciated. Our host John was very easy to work with, very quick to address any issues that came up. Overall a positive experience.

John made the entire process of booking, changing dates and communicating so easy. He was extremely fast to reply to all of my questions. The house was clean and well equipped with everything you would need. John even had beach chairs and beach towels we were able to use. He had a fully stocked coffee and tea bar. The kitchen had cleaning products, paper products and even foil. The neighborhood was quiet and the house was close to many popular tourist spots. All three generations of us had an awesome stay at his Avocado house. Highly recommend.

Everything was nice! Nice location between Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs. We enjoyed the stay!
