Great time with friends in a nice home.

This property was perfect for our visit. Very easy access. Wonderful waterfront. Amenities way beyond what you would expect in a vacation rental. Definitely hope to get back there sometime.

Wonderful and well appointed. Very nice and well kept old school Florida home. It was like going back in time and visiting my aunt when I was young. Location was great.Very close to local beaches and shopping. Outdoor area was just so picturesque. Dock area was very nice and we caught some spectacular sunsets and a few fish. I would definitely recommend and would for sure go back. We had a great time. Thank you!

Awesome house on the river - close to everything - very clean and has everything you need

We always enjoy our time in Tarpon Springs and this is a perfect property for us! We thoroughly enjoy the waterfront location and easy access to the Gulf.

Beautiful weather . love the islands.

This property is beautiful ! If you enjoy lazy days on the water in a comfortable setting, it's perfect for you. We enjoyed the property either in the sunroom, on the patio or on the dock the whole week. Close to the sponge docks and restaurants/shops and boats. Groceries near by, along with a great produce stand. We enjoyed dinners on the patio almost every evening. The house was extremely clean, well equipped and the beds /bath comfortable. We enjoyed the local wildlife, seeing a great variety of birds ,dolphins and even a daily visit from a neighborhood cat. I loved my week in Tarpon Springs at this so much. I hope to return to this special place again soon.

If your dream vacation includes a gem if a house with a warm personality, thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need, a magical garden with gorgeous waterfront location and direct gulf access - this is the one. If you’d love to relax on your own private dock and spot dolphins, beautiful shore birds, jumping fish, and a daily parade of boats, or kayak from the floating dock - this is the one. If you’d love to explore a charming village center, historical sponge docks, close by restaurants, marinas renting all sorts of boats - this is the one. If you want to have an easy drive to St Pete, Clearwater, Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island State Park - this is the one. If you want to rent from generous hosts, accurate with listing details, who are easy to communicate with- this is definitely the one. We hope our dream will come true again next year.

We love this place the location in Tarpon Springs lets us do all the activities we like to do, bike, sunsets, kayak shopping, site seeing, golf, relaxing and so on.

We enjoyed staying in Betsy and Scott’s home. It is fully stocked with all the kitchen and recreational equipment we needed. It’s VERY clean. The enclosed patio, outdoor patio, and dock offer 3 exterior lounging spaces. We enjoyed the bikes and the proximity to the town and beach. Loved it!!!!

It was fantastic! So much so we wanted to stay longer unfortunately it was booked! Beautiful setting for relaxation & not far from places to go. We'll be back for sure!

The property was exactly as represented in the VRBO listing. It was clean and well stocked with any item that you may need or had forgotten to bring. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to one day returning - 1 week was not enough time to enjoy this wonderful property and all the nearby activities. The property was conveniently located near any retail facilities that you may want to visit but not to close to the tourist crowds. The backyard dock on the Anclote River was absolutely wonderful. We spent a considerable amount of time decompressing from our daily routines just sitting on the dock soaking up nature. We saw dolphins, manatees, and countless birds. The twisted live oaks on the property were also amazingly beautiful. The only thing that could make this property better would be that my husband and I owned it.

Our favorite place to stay! Beautiful view, Sponge Docks are close by, lots of gorgeous beaches just a short drive away. The home is cozy, clean, and comfortable. Scott and Betsy are very accommodating and great hosts. We will be staying again. Thanks so much!

The property was simply perfect for us. The owners have thought of every you should need to enjoy your stay. The dock is great for relaxing, fishing and kayaking. Everything you need to enjoy Tarpon Springs is within a 10 minute drive. Property on perfect part of river on a very quiet street. We will be back!

Other than having trouble with getting the cable to work (for local news, but we were not there to watch tv), we really enjoyed our stay. The home lived up to its listing by far. I personally would update the queen mattress, but that's my opinion. We truly enjoyed our stay and would return if the opportunity arose.

Was a very clean house with a wonderful location that was very quiet. Spent a lot of time on the dock. Had the grandkids over to do some fishing, and did a lot of relaxing. Tarpon Springs is a wonderful little town.

I ate breakfast on the deck each morning, watching the river roll by. Truly felt like a home away from home.

Do yourself a favor and book this little gem. Beautiful home on the water in a quiet peaceful setting. Perfect place to relax, unwind, and decompress! We are already planning our next visit.

Great location on Anclote River with beautiful old oak trees and a good dock for your boat. Love the Florida room! House is well furnished and comfortable.

always have a great time.... very relaxing and the beaches on the Islands are amazing.

We just love the location and the house. Close to Howard park for Sunset and bike riding. This year we really got to experience the dolphins and manatees many times right off the dock. We just love this place

This is one of the best homes we have ever rented. They have thought of everything, it was like being home. We loved our stay in this home.

Spent 4 weeks in this lovely and comfortable house. Great location on the river with an always interesting view. Safe and walkable neighborhood. House was probably the best equipped of the many houses we have rented. Kitchen had all the dishes, appliances, utensils, etc that one would need. House was clean and had more than sufficient towels, placemats, etc needed. Appreciate all the beach items for a Florida vacation. Great communication with the owners. Friendly and quiet neighborhood.

We want to thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful home. We have had such a difficult year and so much wanted a special place to welcome in a new year and re-connect as a family. Your home clearly surpassed all our expectations! your home is spotless, beautifully decorated and the view is spectacular. I could literally feel the stress of the last year simply melt away. Our week was filled with wonderful Greek food on the back porch, long bike rides, kayaking, fishing and nights spent doing puzzles and playing games. I can say without a doubt that we leave your wonderful home feeling refreshed, re-connected, renewed and ready for a wonderful 2021. We are truly grateful to you for giving us this wonderful experience and a memory that my family will always treasure.. With gratitude, Don and Mary

This is a lovely and well appointed home with lots of wonderful nearby activities. We enjoyed having use of kayaks and bicycles. We could walk or ride bikes to the beach. We saw dolphins while kayaking the nearby bayou. We saw the manatees in Spring bayou. Good fishing in the Anclote River and Whitcomb bayou. Had a great week of fun and sun at this beautiful property.

We will book for next year once we have our family's schedule. Thanksgiving on the dock and on the patio area was wonderful. Fantastic.

With all the turbulence around COVID-19, I had to reschedule my post-cancer treatment fishing trip from the Spring to the Fall, and finding a week that worked for my sons and me proved challenging. I found Betsy and Scott's property available just a month before our vacation, and it fit our needs perfectly. The home is in a quiet neighborhood, very private and safe. Because of Hurricane Eta, we had to get creative in our fishing plans! We fished the first two days off of the property's floating dock, and we caught eight different kinds of fish. None were keepers, but the action and variety alone made it interesting and fun. We were able to go offshore on the last three days and had a lot of success catching large, keeper-size grouper and snapper. Previously, I'd fished many times out of Clearwater and John's Pass, both of which are over-fished, and the Gulf off of Tarpon Springs is far superior. Because of the hurricane, Betsy and Scott very graciously extended our stay two days at no cost, which enabled two days of great offshore fishing that we wouldn't have had otherwise. We kept our 22 foot power cat overnight at the dock for three nights with no problem. My sons enjoyed bicycling in the neighborhood and kayaking in the bayous as well. The property also had a lot of nice little extras, like the bikes, kayaks, fishing equipment and tools that enhanced our experience. The property is in great shape in all areas, obviously well-maintained. We're already very much looking forward to our next trip to Tarpon Springs!

The owners of the home could not have been nicer or more communicable. The house itself was wonderful and of course the setting on the Anclote River was stunning. If you have the chance to book this house don’t think twice...just do it. You won’t be sorry!

It was great! Betsy was so nice to get back with me and really helpful. I will be coming back a lot to see family!

Perfect. if you have a small boat, the floating dock is perfect to deal with the tide changes.
