We have stayed at many VRBO rental houses but this owner went above and beyond to make us happy. We had the privilege of staying at three of this owners rental homes during our stay at Apollo Beach. Each home was a beautiful propery, in a great location, and included a fantastic owner experience. The owner never stopped doing what they could to help us make the best of our time in Apollo Beach. When we come back to this area, we will stay in this owners properties. Thanks for all you did for us.

Lovely neighborhood, great house

The home was very nice. The outdoor area is wonderful! We encountered a small issue with the hot tub, and the host had someone out to check and fix it right away!

We truly enjoyed this gorgeous property. The pool is phenomenal and the view of the waterway spectacular. The communication with the owner/manager was excellent. The only negative is neighborhood rules seem to be a little strict for us. Though we didn’t have issues at all with anyone calling, we kept having to remind ourselves to be really quiet after 9 and before 8. ;) Still a beautiful property a lovely vacation. We absolutely would recommend.

Very much enjoyed our stay . The pool was great, we spent most of our time in the pool .

The pool and hot tub area was by far the highlight of this property! The house was clean and a nice size for 10 of us including seating at the dining room table/kitchen bar, the living room with sofas and the back patio with plenty of chairs. My few complaints would be there were not enough bath towels or beach towels for 10 of us which you had to pay for laundry (washing and drying) and then the amount of dishes were also lacking for a group of 10. If the house can fit up to 12 guests, you would think there would be enough 'supplies' for everyone. Lastly, the owner was quick to respond to all of my questions which I thought was great!

We really enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the pool was exactly what we were looking for! We even saw a couple of dolphins! Both Circles and Finn's restaurants were close and provide a good atmosphere for dinner. If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again.

Fantastic week in a little paradise, fabulous outdoor area to relax, swim and enjoy the sun. Communication with owners was absolutely the best... looking forward to coming back

We loved hanging at the pool with the family. Also my fiance and I took kayaks out in the canal and we had a dolphin swimming with us for the 2 miles that we kayaked. So cool! The hot tub was controlled remotely by the owner which was an inconvenience; however the owner told us that system is being changed so that the renters will be able to control it. That will be much better. The owners were very prompt at getting back to me via text, when I reached out and were very kind!!!

Great location

This was a very last minute booking and Einav was very helpful with any questions and was very accommodating given the last minute reservation. House was clean. The bottle of wine was appreciated and a nice touch after a day of canceled flights. I was concerned about Communicating with owners to turn on spa but it was never an issue and you can schedule in advance for the week if you’d like. Hubby caught a few nice fish off the dock and we even saw a manatee. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay but there were a few little niggles. The plus points were:- the amount of space by the pool the shade over part of the pool the amount of space in the house the amount of pool toys the kayaks the neighbourhood (seemed very safe and relaxed) the hosts were very helpful The negatives:- the wooden furnishings had seen better days. 2 bedrooms were very nice but the other 2 are more set up for kids sharing 2 of the kayaks were broken as previously mentioned the hosts are lovely and I a sure that they would resolve any issues however they do come round quite a lot. There were only 2 days where we didn't see them and on one day they brought someone round to see round the house. That said it would not stop us going back. As mentioned by some other people it is a bit of a pest having to ask to turn the hot tub/ pool feature on and off. It might be better if the guest could turn it on but the time was limited to 2 hours twice per day or something like that. All in all we had a good stay and would recommend this villa for a family holiday. We had no issue with any of the neighbours and I don't think we are particularly quiet so perhaps the issue a previous renter had with a neighbour complaining about noise was an isolated event.

We had high expectations for this property when we booked it. However, a lot of stuff in the house need to be updated. Bathrooms and showers need to be upgraded. Kitchen utensils, pots, and pans are so old and dingy. Couches are not in the best of shape. In general, we had better.

Property was great! Hosts were great! Only issue was distance to a nice beach. I thought there was a nice beach nearby for the kids and there really wasn't. That has nothing to do with the hosts, but I would recommend making sure the area is what you are looking for when booking.

Over all a nice family rental. Nice, house, and pool. About a 15 min drive or more to get to most stores or resterants. The one thing I didn't like much was being micro managed by the propert owner. The hote tube and waterfall is can only be turned on by the owner. You have to get aholed of her when you want to use them. I had to message her to let her when I put the trash out. When you rent a house you have already paid for the amenities I feel as if you should be able to use them freely.

This home has a wonderful Pool and Dock. The owners where super nice and accommodating. If your looking to sit around and relax in a pool all day this is your house! The inside of the house is as it looked in the pictures. The AC in this house was AWESOME if you like it cool this is your house! Nice beaches are about an hour way as you can not swim in Apollo Beach (Look up the reasons why) We did go to Anna Maria Island crystal clear water AMAZING!!!! Highly recommend this beach.. As the owners about the go to places they have them all for you :)People had posted about having to ask for the hot tub to be turned on I found this not an issue and the owners did it right away with no delays. Honest I understand why they want to control this if we had control of it it am sure it would have been on more than needed and lets face it the cost is huge to run a spa like this. We provided the owners with a few things I felt are needed in the home nothing major at all and they where very receptive as they want your stay to be a 5 starOnly drawback is that you have to pay to wash your clothing, that was a pain and felt like for what you paid to stay in the home this should not be something you have to pay for. This was disclosed in the booking so it was NOT a surprise I wanted to make this clear as this was not sprung on us. Bring Lots of quarters you will need them..Our Family and Friends enjoyed our stay!!

Our family gathered in Florida for a wedding. There were 9 of us who enjoyed this property and it’s beautiful pool for the duration of our visit. All of us, from adults to teens to 8 year olds, had space to relax and enjoy our time together. Communication with the property manager was wonderful! Any time we had a question or request he was quick to respond. Could not have asked for a better source of help and information.

What a great pool and spa space. A nice large area directly next to and overlooking the canal, it was absolutely everything we were looking for. Sipping coffee early in the morning watching the sun rise and having a cocktail at night watching the sun set, both were great for relaxation. The neighbors are very very sensitive to noise! We had 5 kids swimming in the pool around 9:30am and they were met with a very rude “shut up” from across the canal, not exactly what we were looking for. Other than that the house and location were great! I can’t say enough about the pool area… it was exactly what the Dr. ordered!

This home is absolutely amazing. The pool and hot tub was wonderful too. The home owners are easy to communicate with, friendly and very accommodating. We met many neighbors and all where very nice. This is a very quiet community. The kids caught fish off the dock and there are many places to fish nearby. And alot of fun stuff to do close. The kids and adults had a ball.

Everything was nice and as shown in the pictures. Everything was pretty standard as far as checking in and out. Great place to stay at.

Beautiful home and pool area! We enjoyed our stay very much. About 1 hour drive to some of the beaches we liked but enjoyed the home, some restaurants in Apollo and a fish charter. Would recommend.

We drove past a few high end houses, I was getting excited, I thought this is why it cost so much to rent. Then quality of homes started to fall some. We arrived early and contacted the owners , which both are super nice people. and they let us in early which was very nice of them. I was told to look around for damaged items and report them so we wouldn’t be responsible for them when we leave, and I found several. The house is nice not perfect but neither are we. The pool deck and hot tub were pretty close to perfect though. We settled in to start our vacation. I didn’t find out until we were given check in info, that the hot tub was controlled off site. I was informed I would have to contact the owner 40 minutes before every time someone wanted to use it. That was a major inconvenience. The second issue I had was the ongoing feud with the neighbors, especially the guy across the canal. He apparently calls the cops or bangs on the door and curses some renters. He didn’t while we were there but he did call the owners and complained we were too loud. The owner showed up the next day and installed noise monitors, one inside and one outside the house. He said we only got up to 46 decibels when he called them, and the alarm calls them @75 decibels. I said the hot tub is loud and you have to talk louder to be heard. He said we should sit closer to be heard. I said why would you rent a vacation home in a retirement community and not disclose that on the booking page and not wait until the check in page. I said if I had known, I never would have rented this property. He said it’s listed as quiet time between 9pm and 8am, and it is but should have told us the rest of the story. The AC broke the second day and they fixed very quickly. Listen we had a nice time and you will too, I just wanted the next renter’s to have all the information upfront, in order to decide if this is the best choice for their next vacation. “And may the odds be ever in your favor”

The most beautiful, expansive lanai with a wonderful pool and hot tub! We saw a dolphin swim up the canal and that was the highlight. Very relaxing and enjoyable with children and grandchildren!

Very easy process it was my 1st time and I’m a retired person

Fun time for all!! Everything you need is there, just bring your groceries!

Family trip and we loved the house and pool/hot tub area! Awesome for the kids to be able to use the kayaks and paddle board in the canal! Quiet neighborhood so ensure that you stick to the 9pm quiet time for the neighbors

If you are looking to get away and relax by the pool, play golf, or just hang out and read a book, this place is great.

We really enjoyed our stay as this was our first VrBo experience. This house had everything we needed and more! My favorite was the escape door 🥰 from the Master bedroom to the pool. You will not go wrong selecting this property. Again, when I say this house had everything.....EVERYTHING!

very clean and in a very nice location. make sure you go fishing while there there is bait shops close by. We didn't spend much time in the house we sat poolside most of the week. if you want to relax this is the place to do it.

Love the quiet neighborhood, clean, comfortable home, immaculate pool with swim up bar and hot tub as we come down to support Brady, Gronk and our SuperBowl champions. Go Bucs! See you again soon!

Einav and Ronan were so welcoming! The house was very clean and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood just a short drive to bigger cities. The views of the canal along with the waterfall, pool and hot tub were everything my girls and I needed to relax!
